Service Pack 1 Information

How to Apply Service Pack 1

Before you apply Service Pack 1, complete these steps to unlock all files to be replaced.

1. Make sure that no WebSphere Development Tools features are in use. For example, if the CODE editor is in use, be sure to save all files and to exit the editor.
2. Open a Command Prompt window.
3. Enter codeedit /cm exit
4. Enter codedsu exit
5. Enter x:\wdt400\system\evfctcpd /exit where x: is the drive where the product is located.

If any files are locked while applying Service Pack 1, you will see a message box with three buttons: Retry, Ignore, and Exit. Do not click Exit. Make sure that no WebSphere Development Tools features are in use and then click Retry. If the message box does not close, click Ignore. You will be asked to reboot at the end and to have the locked files replaced.

After applying Service Pack 1 and if you use VisualAge for RPG, you need to repackage and reinstall the Service Pack 1 runtime. If you do not reinstall the runtime and you install user applications generated from Service Pack 1, you will get an error message that you have not installed V4R5M1 runtime. This means you must reinstall the Service Pack 1 runtime.

Up-to-Date Information

For the most up-to-date information on the PTFs and Service Packs that are available for VARPG and CODE/400, go to the WDT/400 Web site and click the "Support" link. You can download the latest Service Pack from there.

Enabling Secure Java Applications

If you plan to deploy Java applications for use on the Web, please read this:

If you plan to deploy Java applications for use on the World Wide Web, note that only AS/400 systems running on the OS/400 V4R4 release, or later, support the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) specification. Data flow between workstation applications and AS/400 servers running on earlier OS/400 versions will not be secure.

Summary of changes in Service Pack 1

You must apply SERVICE PACK 1 so that all of the functions in this product are available for your use.

Changes to VisualAge(R) RPG

• The problem where %Index and %ColNumber of SELECT events from subfile were not correctly set when triggered by using keyboard has been fixed.
• The problem where setting the title label of a window will cause the static text parts on a notebook canvas to disappear has been fixed.
• A new feature has been added to the graph part: using a ColorArea of 10, the background color of the legend area can be changed.
• The GUI designer problem where a Slider part's font if set to something different than the system default cannot be persisted has been fixed.
• The GUI designer running on Win2000 can use the new IBM Distributed Debugger.
• The VARPG java runtime properly supports Java Extension Mechanism. If the varpg.jar is put into jre\lib\ext then both the generated java applet and java application will work correctly.
• The VARPG application installation has changed so that if you install an application onto an older version of the runtime, you will receive an error message indicating that the runtime should be upgraded first before installing the application.
• The packaging of a Java application will not mistakenly generate an error message saying there is not enough disk space.
• The problem that in some cases SUBDUR incorrectly calculates the difference between two timestamps, when the result is in hours, has been fixed.
• The problem of getting incorrect conversion results after moving a time field (format *USA) to a time field (*ISO), when time is between 12:00 am and 12:59 am, has been fixed.
• The problem of getting a Host services internal error when running an installed VARPG application, when both the development and run-time environments are installed on the PC, has been fixed.

Changes to WebSphere Studio for AS/400

• Different versions of WAS from Studio for AS/400 are correctly configured.
• More detailed diagnostic messages from servlets are provided to help developers identify the potential sources of problems.
• The Web Interaction Wizard allows the user to delete the last and only one field remaining of a program definition.
• The Web Interaction Wizard properly handles I/O JSP residing in a subfolder.
• The Web Interaction Wizard settings of both "Invalidate session" and "No host program call" will persist when creating a new Web interaction.

Changes to CODE/400

• The problem with verifies with caching indicating that the server is busy, or causing the application to hang, has been fixed.
• The Check PTF function in the Communications window will work for every server.
• The CODE Project Organizer will not crash when changing anything on the properties page for a file in the file list.
• In CODE Project Organizer, empty project menus will no longer appear.
• In CODE Actions, the help button will work on the Import and Export dialogs.
• In CODE Editor, setting the interactive debug server will work.
• In CODE Editor, dialogs may be canceled when prompting for the debug server or setting the default debug server.
• In CODE Editor, the "Code generated successfully" message from the RPG-to-Java Smartguide will appear in the appropriate language.
• In CODE Editor, the Browse button on the Pre-defined Message page from the D-Specification Smartguide is enabled in the correct situations.
• In CODE Editor, printouts will have the document name and page number at the top of the page if EXTRAS is enabled.
• In Program Generator, submitting an interactive compile when an interactive compile is already in progress will not cause the Program Generator to crash.
• In CODE Designer, using the Design Page to move fields so that they overlap is no longer prevented.
• In CODE Designer, field conditioning is now shown correctly in the details view.
• In CODE Designer, the Designer is now started correctly by the Editor.
