Q45 - Call via request data is not visible in dependencies

In older CL programs sometimes, a program call is performed by specifying a command in one of the following ways:

1. SBMJOB JOBQ(QBATCH) RQSDTA('CALL OMA002')

2. CHGVAR &RQSDTA VALUE('CALL OMA002') SBMJOB JOBQ(QBATCH) RQSDTA(&RQSDTA)

Using the routing entries of subsystem QBATCH, the command in the RQSDTA parameter will be executed. TD/OMS would not show any dependencies of this call because they are program described.

The source scanner has been enhanced to scan for these patterns in the RQSDTA parameter in CLLE CLP and CLP38 programs. Any string with the patterns 'CALL {LIB/}PGM' will now result in a dependency to PGM.

If you created your own scanning rules, back them up before executing:

INZSRCSCAN FORCE(*YES)

to install the updated source scanner.

02091 - Speed improvements in the GUI

Two speed issue were resolved in the decoration framework of the Rich Client. If you notice UI freezes in the client, you should install this update. The decoration framework adds additional information to the Icons and Text

Version Conflicts Decoration: When there are a large amount of unconfirmed Version Conflicts in the Version Conflicts table (OMOVC) a serious lag will occur. In order to use this new feature the Solutions View must be updated to contain two new fields. This can be done by installing the V17M01 back-end nightly or by updating the file manually. Contact us if you want to do the latter.

Running Task Decorator: The decorator framework would call a back-end program for every task in the list. This process has been made a lot faster.

New CLI API's: We are moving all TD/OMS business logic into separate programs for our back-end modernization project. These APIs can also be called using a command with the same name. To access additional information about these APIs, please click on the link below.

• OMQCHGCN - API Conversion Definition
• OMQCHGAC - API Actions API
• OMQCHGUO - User Options API

New REST API's: We have developed a set of new REST APIs. To access additional information about these APIs, please click on the link below.

• REST Compile Override API
• REST Conversion Definition API
• REST Comment API

OCTO Other issues/enhancements resolved

788 - OCTO- Version Conflict initially show only required confirmation records.

Initially, We show only the records with the required confirmation.

762 - Adding decorators on Tasks, Solutions & Item Editor View

Version conflict and compilation failure decorations are added to the tasks in the work management. The same decorations together with compilation override, label and comment decorations have been added to the solutions in the item editor as well. A task title has also been made available on top of the item editor which consists of the task's short description, application and status. All the task decorations that exist in the work management are present here as well.

778 - Adding a context menu on the Item Editor for a Task

Now the task context menu actions are also available on the item editor on the right side of the task's title.

743 - Preserve Multiple Open Tabs in Item Editor After Hard Refresh

Currently, when multiple item tabs are open in the item editor, performing a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 ) in OCTO results in only one tab remaining open, with the rest being closed. This causes inconvenience to users who need to keep their work organized across multiple tabs.

750 - The source does not open in the Source Editor

When a spool file is open, the source of an object cannot be opened in the Source Editor from the Component view.

761 - OCTO - New object template issue

When the new object template wizard opens with the categories default value set to "All," the search result dropdown should display the first template description as selected.

747 - Preserve Multiple Open Tabs in Source Editor After Hard Refresh

Currently, when multiple source tabs are open in the source editor, performing a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 ) in OCTO results in only one tab remaining open, with the rest being closed. This causes inconvenience to users who need to keep their work organized across multiple tabs.

748 - Add a filter to select the task.

When we choose the option to move a solution to another task, the dropdown menu contains many entries, making it challenging to select the specific task. Therefore, we need to add a filter to streamline the selection process.

770 - Change Solution Type functionality in the ITEM Editor

We can now change the solution type of a solution in the ITEM Editor.

783 - Error When Closing the Last Item in Item or Source Editor

An error occurs when the last item or source is closed in the respective editors. This issue affects both the item editor and the source editor, leading to an unexpected error and potentially disrupting the user experience.

785 - Inconsistent Type Dropdown Styling Across Views

The type dropdown added to the components view has a different style compared to the ones used in other views. To ensure a consistent user experience, we need to standardize the style across all views.

784 - Incorrect Error Message Displayed in New Object Wizard

A correct error message should appear when attempting to create an object that already exists using the New Object Wizard.

785 - Inconsistent Type Dropdown Styling Across Views

The type dropdown added to the components view has a different style compared to the ones used in other views. To ensure a consistent user experience, we need to standardize the style across all views.

790 - Enhance The current entity service implementation has only one method, which retrieves all records of an entity type based on the provided page number. To improve the functionality and usability of the service, the following enhancements are required

 

- Retrieve All Entities from All Pages: Add a method that allows retrieving all records of a specific entity type across all available pages, rather than limiting the retrieval to a single page.

- Get a Single Entity by ID:Implement a method that retrieves a single entity based on its unique identifier (ID).Entity Service with Additional Methods for Improved Data Retrieval

796 - After the last Octo update, VScode WorkManagement configs are missing

After updating to the latest version of Octo, the WorkManagement functionality within VSCode is no longer working. Specifically, the configurations that should be visible in the view are missing.

I02780 - The information of the Details tab is not visible in VSCode and standalone link

When we have a link for the item editor it does not show contents in the details tab.

797 - Task status doesn't refresh or show progress after transfer in VSCode

When a task is transferred from VSCode's work-management interface, it fails to automatically refresh and update its status. Additionally, if the task continues running in the background, no progress icon is displayed to indicate its ongoing status. This can lead to confusion as the user might not be aware of the task's current state or if it is still in progress.

801 - Solution tiles display 'null' for missing descriptions

In the current implementation, some solution tiles are displaying the text 'null' as the solution description when the description is missing or unavailable.

803 - Replace all fetchWithResult2 calls with fetchWithResult

The fetchWithResult2 method has been deprecated and removed from the entity service. However, it appears that this method is still being used in multiple places across the code. To ensure that the application continues to function correctly, all instances of fetchWithResult2 need to be replaced with the fetchWithResult() method.

802 - Compare with production in new tab does not work

From the solution, I can choose "Compare with Production" in new tab, but it does not work.

806 - Task tab switching (Solution, Details, Ratification) broken on OCTO production

Users are unable to switch between the task tabs (Solution, Details, and Ratification) on the OCTO production environment. This issue began occurring recently and is impacting user productivity as they cannot navigate between these tabs effectively.
