New and Noteworthy in TD/OMS V16 Milestone 2
| New Pre-Transfer Checks | We have created two new transfer checks. They are disabled by default.
More information:
|
|---|
| 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.
|
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| E243 - Connect and checkout in one go | Now when an object is connected to a task with direct connect, it is also "checked out" to the development environment from production so work can be done immediately to it. |
|---|
| I02508 - Update Genexus interface Genexus 18 including RPG development | Work has been done to update the Genexus interface to work with version 18 of Genexus. For Genexus RPG development we have support for the interactive en non-interactive mode (of which the last is driven by the distribution of an XPZ change-file). For this milestone the non-interactive mode is beta. |
|---|
| TDOMS.I2145 XREF ui updates | Major update on working with Xref locations in the UI. Location properties have now been separated from the location URL and can be edited separately. Also there is added functionality to more easily work with locations, for example move, copy and view locations.
|
|---|
| T00372 - Support types in the definitions | Types have been added in the definitions view. Now compilation or a location types can be viewed, created, copied, changed or deleted under a host.
|
|---|
| I02505 - Sub-environment filters in definitions | Sub-Environment filters have been added in the definitions view. Due to the possibility of having hundreds, or even thousands of sub-environments, filters are needed in order to find the ones required. If the results of a filter are more than 50, then they are grouped into folders of 50, otherwise they are displayed immediately.
|
|---|
| I02539 - Processing sequence now also considers the IFS file extension | Use Case: To clear the cache of a web server, a trick can be used to fetch an HTML page by adding a dummy variable to the path. If the variable changes, the web server reloads the HTML page instead of serving it from its cache, including the CSS and JS. This implies the CSS and JS should be placed in the directory before the HTML file. |
|---|
| I02479 - Remote libraries not cleaned up | When a remote job fails, the cleanup should still be done. There is too much data stuck on the remote machines when the transfers fail end the end users should not be burdened with this. Now all files are always cleaned up after a successful deployment or after a successful fallback.
In case some additional investigation must be done; the strategy is to keep remote files when the debugging level is below INFO. Debugging can be switched on in the System Definition function (STRSD). |
|---|
| 02010 - Millions of log records | In a situation where the 5250 screen is disconnected due to a connection issue AND the user was on the OMQUSIOB, OMQUSIFI or OMQUSISO program, the program would loop and produce millions of log records.
Sysadmins can run this query on the OMLOG file. It shows the number of job entries per job. Anything above 10000 records is suspect and should be investigated for repeating records with the CPF6A0F message id and potentially be removed. SELECT ogjob#, ogjobn, ogusid, COUNT(*) as count FROM omlog GROUP BY ogjob#, ogjobn, ogusid ORDER BY count desc
|
|---|
| I02574 - Accept source change date issue | When accepting a source change date conflict, it would sometimes still fail during the transfer. This has been fixed.
In addition, accepting a source change date conflict is now allowed for developers when leaving the development environment. We are still debating this rule and we will make changes here in future releases. |
|---|
| I02497 - OMQCHGCL - unable to change the solution type of the object in the connection list. | The OMQCHGCL command does not contain the action code *CHANGE due to which solution type of the object can not be changed. Now we have introduced new action code *CHANGE to resolve this issue.For more information you can see OMQCHGCL documentation. |
|---|
| 02007 - Cleanup savefiles older than | The CLRFBSOMS command had a fixed date parameter. Now it has been changed to accept *1-WEEK, *2-WEEK, *1-MONTH and *3-MONTH along with pre existing *ALL and Date. For more Information you can see CLRFBSOMS documentation. |
|---|
GUI issues/enhancements resolved
- I02475 - Clips appear multiple times in the menu
- The Clips icon would occur multiple times in the work management menu for RDi 9.6
- I02545 - TimeFlash view does not refresh correctly
- We fixed an issue where the TimeFlash view would not refresh correctly when a Task was selected.
- I02538 - Branch API should only work in a *PATH environment.
- The cleanup and creation of BRANCH library lists should only be done when the environment is a *PATH environment. This allows you to add in a mixed *USRPRF and *PATH environment by adding the path to the user profile library list in an event. This should then not be deleted when the branch is deleted.
- I02523 - Recalculate solution records init fails
- When receiving a remote distribution, a flag was initialized on every processing step, causing the re-calculation of the source location to be skipped on the remote.
- I02511 - Member is not labeled when created from a template with a label
- Creating a "new object template" for a member with labels is possible. The labels were not applied when the member was created.
- I02475 Clips appear multiple times in the menu
- In RDi 9.6 the clips toolbar menu is not correctly cleaned up. This showed the clips menu every time the work management view was activated.
- I02462 - Doubleclick on details gives an error
- Fixed an issue where double-clicking a detail to open it was failing with an error dialog.
- I02465 - Missing options for unattended install RCP/RDi installers
- The Azure or Birt reporting option were missing from the RCP/RDi 9.8 TD/OMS client installers.
- 01979 - Press F5 to refresh sometimes does not react.

- I02397 - Transfer in the GUI works without FP license
- Rectified the issue by adding a check to validate the FP licence to transfer, promote or checkout in GUI.
- 01866 - User ID may not be lowercase in user option
- In TD/OMS User Option, the User ID is restricted to be in Upper Case now when it is edited.
- E203 - Hide members in detail view associated with database files
- In TD/OMS Details View, a new icon is tagged along to hide data members. This is implemented to add the ability to filter the details view and not display details that are data members of objects. For example, if a database file (not SRCPF) has one or more members, those all will not be displayed in the details view now. The icon is selected by default along with hide sources when the detail view is displayed.
- 01980 - Source is closed when another object in the task is checked out
- Resolved the issue where two files in the task were open in the editor and a third object was being promoted or checked out. The process closed the two files but they should not be closed.
- 01573 - Component filter cannot be deleted
- The issue related to the Component Filter in the toolbar of TD/OMS Components view was resolved where the user was not able to delete the filter.
- 01775 - Connect alternative as merged is missing in the gui
- When appropriate the connect alternative as merged option is now displayed during solution conflict handling.
- I02488 - Ratification for TST is shown on a higher level
- Fixed a bug where sometimes the ratifications shown in an environment also showed ratifications from the previous environment.
- I02503 - Retry upon warning is missing on definitions
- An extra "Ignore Warnings" field now exists in the job descriptions, directory and route entities when they are being created or changed. This gives the option to ignore warnings if desired (default is No).
- I02525 - Issue in comparing with object without any source
- Handled an exception where two or more solutions or objects in tasks or components view are compared to each other and any of them is without a source.
- I02170 - Exception in details view when filter on task and deleted options are both selected
- Resolved the runtime exception thrown when both filter on task and show deleted objects are pressed in the details view.
- I02529 - Edit filter action is allowed when many filters are selected
- Restricted the edit filter action which must not be allowed when more than one filter is selected.
- I02527 - Persist a reference to a user provided java trust-store
- A trust-store required for certificate verification can be added to Remain's certificate directory and be used by Remain's certificate manager (see EWM:2 – Secured Communications)
- I02528 - MIW IBMi connection not using a secure connection when required
- A MIW related IBMi connection will now be secure if the IBMi server in TD/OMS is configured for Secure Connections.
- I02534 - GUI Definitions
- After application create no environments can be added
- Fixed a bug when a new application is being created and no action could be done with it afterwards because it wasn't loaded in the TD/OMS GUI yet.
- I02547 - Change path and programmer fields in new task wizard
- The path and programmer fields of the new task wizard have been converted from a combo box to open a dialog to select their value due to the big number of values that they might have, thus slowing the wizard.
- I02531 - Move solutions to other task is not available
- Fixed a bug where the move solutions action was not present when many solutions are selected.
- I02537 - GUI Definitions Remote location override cannot be deleted

- This support was added to aid those who want to use the archive as like a versioned SCM repository.
- I02572 - New object of type member can't be created
- Fixed a bug where a new object of type member can't be created.
- I02560 - OMQCHGSO logs exceptions on close of API.
- Fixed the call on the close of the OMQCHGSO API.
- I02573 - API PCML call unexpectedly disconnecting.
- Processing multiple PCML calls in parallel could invoke a currently running PCML call to be disconnected, this has been fixed.
- I02580 - Optimize Workmanagement perspective tree.
- Work has been to make the Workmanagement perspective tree respond more quickly when refreshing and selecting a menu option from a tree item.
- I02581 - Minimal UI blocking if host goes offline.
- Work has been done to detect and minimize UI freeze when the connection is lost when working with a system.

- I02576 - Label API delete does not check on usage in object templates
- This caused a possible label deletion while it was still in use. The label delete error message has been updated to indicate where the label has been used.
- I02577 - OMQCHGSL API Does not fill BDLOLI correctly
- When using the API to add a library to a subenvironment with a specific type resulted in an incorrect value in one of the fields. This caused the library to be excluded from several places in TD/OMS like compilation library lists, filling, and target selection.
- I02514 - DSPLOGOMS option 8 display section no longer works.
- The option 8 display section in DSPLOGOMS no longer functions correctly; it indefinitely hangs.
- I02517 - Object should not be added to the connection list if it is already connected to the task.
- An object should not be added to the connection list if it already has a connection to the task.
- I02518 - Override Active solution in production env should not close the other solution
- Override Active solution in a production environment should not close the other solution.
- I02515 - Messages VRS0001, VRS0002 and VRS0003 must be suppressed by events
- Messages VRS0001, VRS0002, and VRS0003 are now suppressed by events.
- 499 - Sorting Inconsistency on Fetch Ratifications History Request with Date and Time Fields
- When executing a "Fetch Ratifications History" request with sorting by date and time fields, the returned ratifications seem to be incorrectly sorted.
- I02530 - Source API. The source change date is changed for all records when saving
- The date of source change for a line should only be updated when the source is modified during the save process from OCTO.
- I02542 - Retrieve Database API issue
- The Retrieve API is experiencing an error because the specified length or start position falls outside the permissible range for the string operation.
- I02555 - System ratification groups and members are not read
- The database API does not return system ratification groups and members. The system groups have a blank application code and should not be stopped by the database API.
- I02522 - The target source library for *COMPILE solutions issue
- The target source library for *COMPILE solutions on the remote library list is filled with the branch library but it should be filled with the production library.
- 495 - Confusing Line Number in Source File API Error Message
- When the message retrieved from the Source File API exceeds the maximum line length, the error message inaccurately indicates a confusing line number. Rather than specifying the correct line number '5', the message erroneously references '.50', confusing for developers in pinpointing the actual location of the issue in the source code.
- I02549 - OMQCHGCL always connects with rules
- Now, OMQCHGCL API will add the object to the connection list with and without rules.
- 01997 - Lots of messages "OMSEXITADM not found".

- T00346 - Call OMQCHGEN API from the Environment maintenance screen
- Now, OMQCHGEN API is used within the environment maintenance screen.
- I02472 - Rename Dump to Archive
- Historically, we have referred to the source archives as "Source Dumps". We have renamed all "Dumped Sources" references to "Archived Sources." All green screen functions and context-sensitive help have been updated.
- I02411 - OMQCHGRT - Changing the recursive route to *YES does not work properly.
- The recursive route flag will no longer be turned to '*YES' when a route code is created with the recursive route flag set to '*NO' and assigned a directory using the OMQCHGID API, choosing a parent directory already associated with a different route code.
- I02444 - OMQCHGEN - Issues with Environment code and description field
- The API no longer crashes when a blank environment code is passed, and it now correctly handles empty descriptions in the change action code.

- I02460 - New registry view and file is required
- A new OMXRegistryExtended is required in the GUI (and an equivalent view in the backend) that will join the existing OMXRegistry (OMAGP) and the new OMGPD file which doesn't exist in the GUI yet.
- I02458 - Logging issue
- When utilizing TRACE and DEBUG levels, if the program name is defined within the OMLOGLVL data area, extra verification is added to ensure that the program name provided as a parameter does not coincide with the program indicated in the ONLOGLVL data area. If this condition is met, the logging process is disregarded.
- I02446 - Comment should not be copied
- Now when you copy the application, it won't include comments on tasks, objects, requests, solutions, and details.
- I02442 - STROCM - Modify the selection values *AUTHORIZED and *UNAUTHORIZED

- I02516 - Subscriber filter variable must always start with &
- A validation has been added to check if the variable starts with & or no.
- I02553 - REST API - Retrieve the solution conflicts text details
- Added logic into the solution API to retrieve the text details of solution conflicts based on the "messageId."
- I02588 - Override issue in SBSVAROMS command
- We're retaining the override in the Replace Object (OMX307C1) program.
- I02443 - InvalidCharacterError issue in Source API
- When attempting to use the source API for certain members, we encounter the "InvalidCharacterError: Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded" error. Also, the source type is not returning correctly.
OpenAPI Generator Enhancements
Please re-install the generator with INZOMSSRV SERVICE(*APIRESTGEN)

OpenAPI Smaller Issues resolved
- I02464 - Memory leak issue in rest API generated code
- Addressed the memory leak problem in the rest API generator when making API calls.
- I02466 - Transfer API Issue
- Failure to provide the transfer number in the "/execute" method results in an incorrect message being returned.
- I02470 - The message of the memory leak should be sent to the job of the CGI program.
- Previously, we sent the memory leak message to the QSYSOPR queue. However, we have now updated the process to report memory leak issues directly in the current CGI job.
- I02471 - Fix memory leak issue in the existing generated Rest API
- Resolved the memory leak issue in the previously generated Rest API.
- I02476 - REST - Generate Client Issue
- The "Generate Client" feature produces a duplicate sub-procedure named pMessages in the M member when creating programs for the REST API.
- I02473 - OCTO - Source API issues
- Ensure that the API includes passing the maximum line length, indicating 0 for stream files. Avoid assuming all request fields are correctly filled; account for scenarios where the short object code is provided without the IFS path. In such cases, the IFS path retrieval from the request may not be accurate when writing the event.
- I02483 - Rest API - Global variable definition issue
- The definition of the global variable "logMessage" is absent in the generated source code from the REST API generator.
- 473 - Improve Checkout in DEV Environment with Clearer API Errors
- Encountering an unclear error message from the API during the checkout process in the DEV environment poses challenges for effective troubleshooting and understanding of the issue. The expected behavior is that users should receive explicit and meaningful error messages from the API, offering insights into the nature of the problem encountered during the checkout process.
- I02502 - REST API - Declare the variable as a pointer when its length exceeds 65535.
- If the length of the variable exceeds 65535 and the type is "application/json," the field should be declared as a pointer.
