Flexible Job Descriptions. | After the installation of this milestone, the NORMAL and FAST job descriptions have been converted to new logic. You can now add new Job Descriptions using Job Description Maintenance.
This system enables you to define default job descriptions at every step in the workflow using an inheritance chain. You can add and override job descriptions at various levels.

TD/OMS Database Login REST API | A Rest API has been created to log into TD/OMS and get a security token for further API access. The token is based on JWT technology. If you want to get access to the TD/OMS REST API, you need to set up your Apache server with the following command (if you don't have them, restore library ILEASTIC and LIBHTTP first from the savefile in your TD/OMS library):
CFGRESTSRV ACTC(*ADD) SERVER(OMSREST) USER(OMS) GENLIB(<omslib>) TRGLIB(<omslib>) LIBL(<omslib> ILEASTIC LIBHTTP)

TD/OMS Database REST API | A Rest API has been created to securely and dynamically get data from the TD/OMS database. If you want to get access to the TD/OMS Database API, you need to set up your Apache server with the following command (if you don't have them, restore library ILEASTIC and LIBHTTP first from the savefile in your TD/OMS library):
CFGRESTSRV ACTC(*ADD) SERVER(OMSREST) USER(OMS) GENLIB(<omslib>) TRGLIB(<omslib>) LIBL(<omslib> ILEASTIC LIBHTTP)
Database Schema specification: OMRDBA_DataBase_Schema.json Issue: I02227 - Retrieve Database records in JSON format |
---|
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.
We have created the following API, which is a release candidate. This means that minor changes may occur before the final V15.1 release in June (at which point we are committed to the API interface). Please try out the following new CLI API.

OpenAPI Generator Enhancements
Please re-install the generator with INZOMSSRV SERVICE(*APIRESTGEN)
I02205 - Discontinue 'Legacy Server' | The OAS3 legacy generator option in the Generator window has been removed.
|
---|
I02213 - Memory leak solved | We have noticed that the generated APIs leak memory due to various ALLOC operations not being followed by DEALLOC. This has been solved. If you run into memory issues, you must regenerate the API boilerplate code. Also, check out the "includeLogging" flag discussed in the issue list.
You can check the API CGi job using WRKACTJOB, Option 5, and Option 3. The Temporary Storage used field should be below 50 MB.

---|
I02153 - OpenAPI Client Generator | It is now possible to generate a functional RPG Free client.

- I02167 - PHP Parser setup is wrong
- A typo in the PHP parser caused problems parsing. This has been resolved for new installations of the PHP parser.
- I02239 - Add API authority checks
- We need to add authorization logic in the OMQCHGTP and OMQCHGRL API. This issue has been resolved.

- I02233 - OMQCHGSL API throws an error when creating library flag is *YES and the library to create already exists.
- We need to ignore the error when the library to create already exists and create library flag is *YES. This issue has been resolved.
- T00330 - Change help text in OMSREF
- We change help texts as we have started using modern terminology. For example - "Include Library lists" is called "Include subenvironment," and "Fix" is called "Task." This has been completed.
- I02238 - OMQCHGSE Does not allow *TEMPLATE
- *TEMPLATE gives an error. This issue has been resolved.
- I02236 - Contains strange texts in APIs
- We need to modify the help text of the new definition APIs. This issue has been resolved.

- I02219 - Job description override not removed
- When we make an override on the APPC/ENV/SUBENV/REMOTE level and then remove the remote, the overrides are not removed from the file. Resolved this issue.
- I02228 - Synchronize remote job takes the local job description
- When the registry setting is set to sync the remote job description code, the job description and library belonging to the local entry are used. This is not correct; it should sync the job description code but still fetch the matching jobd for that context. Resolved this issue.
- I02229 - Job description copy makes it impossible to delete the Application specific job description
- When we create the application-specific job description and later create the same job description at the system level using copy option on the existing job description then try to delete the Application specific job description. It doesn't allow to delete. Resolved this issue.
- I02151 - Show job description code into Fix Processing.
- When the object is transferred, TD/OMS should also show the associated default job description code. If the default job description is not found, give the option to select the related job description code. Resolved this issue.
OpenAPI Smaller Issues
- I02242 - OAS3Wizard improvements
- The first generated module should be '01' and not '1', and the list of default generated responses now only includes 200 and 400
- I02226 - Rest API - Introduced includes logging
- Introduced the "includeLogging" keyword to check the memory leak in the options file. If the value is set *YES, we generate additional statements to check memory leaks inside the module/program.
- I02221 - Every %alloc should be followed by a dealloc.
- There were significant memory problems for the jobs caused by this. Fixed this issue.
- I02222 - Rest API MCH4437 - Program import not found

- I02210 - API Generator - Port number as path variable will fail
- If we use the port number as a path variable, then we get an invalid pathname error message. Fixed this issue.
- I02212 - API Generator - Parsing of Path and Query variables
- The Path and Query parameters details were not in P members but only in M members. So we need to introduce comments which contain the information about Path and Query variables in the "checkRequest" and the "process_200" methods. This issue has been resolved.
- I02192 - REST API - Deallocation of JSON objects
- All JSON objects occupy memory that needs to be de-allocated after the process. Resolved this issue.
- I02188 - REST API - Generator Issue for a numeric field
