Introduction:
-------------
vic430e.exe is a self-extracting zip file containing the current fixes
for the VisualInfo/400 Client for Windows v4.3 as of October 24, 2000.
This is a cumulative fixpack and contains all fixes since the Client
became generally available in September, 1998.
If you do not have a vic430e.txt file in your %FRNROOT% directory, you
should apply this fixpack.
Remember to periodically check our web site for new vic430n.exe fixes:
<ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/products/visualinfo/fixes/v430/client>.

Installation Instructions:
--------------------------
NOTE: SERVER PTF SH15195 OR HIGHER IS REQUIRED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THESE
FIXES. For the most current list of server PTF's, reference this
web site:
http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/n_dir/nas4apar.nsf
and select 'Info APARs' where you can then search for #II11424.
NOTE FOR ARABIC CLIENTS: This Fixpack contains an updated FRNWUECP.DLL which
performs codepage conversions. If client machines at your site DID NOT
previously contain this DLL, you will need to delete this new DLL after
installing the Fixpack. Otherwise, you will no longer be able to read
sticky notes or notelogs. If client machines at your site DID previously
contain this DLL, it is safe to use the updated DLL.
1. In order to apply these fixes you will need to replace some application
files in your VisualInfo installation area. Therefore you may want to
make a backup of your files in your \FRNROOT directory first.
2. Make sure you close all instances of the VisualInfo Client for
Windows before you attempt to update your system.
3. Run the downloaded vic430e.exe
Destination = location of your frnroot (ex: c:\frnroot)
Be sure 'Recreate subdirectories' is selected
Then press the FINISH button and the updates will be applied.
4. Run the new copyfls.exe program from your \FRNROOT\INSTALLE directory
to copy some of the new files to their correct places. The copyfls program
requires a three-letter language code (e.g. "ENU") and, if this is not
given as a parameter to the program (e.g. "copyfls ENU"), the program will
prompt you for it. Once the copyfls program has been run successfully, the
\FRNROOT\INSTALLE directory and its contents can be deleted.
Documentation Errata:
---------------------
1. Chapter 8 of the Client for Windows User's Guide gives examples for
configuring the VIC.INI file for a non-image viewer. The examples are as
follows:
[Content Classes]
msword=doc, R, c:\msoffice\word.exe
text=txt, R, E:\Eps80\bin\e32.exe -w3
html=htm, E
These examples are incorrect because they have spaces after the commas.
The correct examples are as follows:
[Content Classes]
msword=doc,R,c:\msoffice\word.exe
text=txt,R,E:\Eps80\bin\e32.exe -w3
html=htm,E
2. Chapter 10 of the Application Programming Guide and Reference documents
all client user exits as having "EXPENTRY" linkage. This is incorrect.
All client user exits have "_cdecl" linkage. This is addressed in APAR
IR43931.
Quick Verification of the Installation:
---------------------------------------
Verify the date of vic.exe in FRNROOT is 10/10/00.
Enhancements:
-------------
Fixpack C:
1) We have included the file ekdvidsp.zip in the FRNROOT\SAMPLES
directory. This file contains sample code that uses OLE interfaces
to drive the client. See the associated readme.txt in that zip file
for more information.
2) You may now specify a 10 character userid during signon.
NOTE: this enhancement also requires VI/400 server PTF SH13250 or
higher. See the cover letter for that PTF for more information.
Fixpack D:
3) Standardized OLE return codes -- see APAR IR40085 below.
4) New OLE API to copy/add annotations -- see APAR IR40758 below.
5) Enhanced control for adding parts via OLE -- see APAR IR41216 below.
6) Ability to specify minimum note font size -- see APAR IR42286 below.
7) Special return code for SaveRecordUserExit -- See APAR IR42394 below.
Fixpack E:
8) Upgraded all Pixel Translations files to the PixTools v4.3 level.
Client APARs fixed in this Fixpack (Fixpack E):
-----------------------------------------------
internal The new pix* files in Fixpack D needed additional files to work
Fixpack D contained several updated Pixel (pix*) files. These
files do not function correctly without additional updated files.
All the Pixel Translations files have now been updated.
SC32330 The EKDVIDSP.DLL in Fixpack D did not launch the Client
Fixpack D contained an EKDVIDSP.DLL that did not work correctly.
This has been fixed.
IR39039 Slow print performance
Images had been sent uncompressed to the printer from the Pixel print
toolkit. For newer printers with larger resolutions (600dpi and
above), the image was scaled on the client. This used a a huge amount
of memory and caused performance problems. The updated and new files
send the data at its original size to the printer, and let the printer
scale up the image.
IR43365 Empty fields in folders were not being filled in via auto-foldering
When a document is auto-foldered into a new folder, any fields from
the document's index class that also exist in the folder's index
class are filled in with values from the document. For subsequent
auto-folders to this same folder, any fields in the folder that are
already filled in are left alone. But fields in the folder that
had been empty should be filled in with values from the newly
auto-foldered document if these fields also exist for the document.
This filling in of empty fields had not been happening but now does.
IR43426 Unable to view files using LZW compression
Files compressed with the LZW compression algorithm could not be
viewed. This has been solved.
IR43441 Problems getting item count for WB for users with restricted privs
If a user chose via the Prefrences dialog to "Display the number of
items in each workbasket" but s/he only had add privileges to a
workbasket, a 6260 privilege error return code was returned from the
Ip2TOCCount API. Now, if a user does not have read privilege to a
workbasket, the count for that workbasket is simply left blank.
IR43463 "Delete and Next" did not delete the last item in a Workbasket
If a workbasket was set up with "List work = NO" and the user opened
the last item in the workbasket and chose "Delete and Next", the
informational message "FRN2529I: No more items are available in this
workbasket." would appear. The item thus appeared to have been
deleted but in fact, the workbasket still showed an item count of
"1". The item could be found via a search (though not in the
workbasket) and a work package for the item was left in the EKD0741
file. This problem is now fixed -- final items in workbaskets now
get deleted properly.
IR43593 Error scanning large documents
This problem occurred when scannning large (70+ pages) documents.
The problem is solved with the updated Pixel files.
IR43638 Incorrect privilege checking for 'Add to Folder'
Users without general search privileges were unable to use the 'Add
to Folder' function. No index classes were presented, even though
the user had search privs for some specific index classes. With this
fix, the 'Add to Folder' search dialog now works like the standard
seearch dialog and allows users to search for folders in any index
class for which they have search privileges.
IR43783 Some SaveRecordUserExit error messages not displayed
If a SaveRecordUserExit attempted to return error messages for
multiple fields, these messages would not always be displayed. With
this fix, all error messages are now displayed.
IR43884 Document or folder lock status can be inadvertantly reset
After certain workflow operations on an open document or folder, the
document or folder's locked status can inadvertantly be removed. This
can cause problems if the document is locked by another user while the
original owner still thinks that they have it locked. This problem is
especially evident when using system assigned workbaskets, since the
locked status is important to when a user will be given a particular
document or folder from the system assigned workbasket. With this fix,
the locks are not cleared during workflow operations.
Client APARs fixed in Fixpack D:
--------------------------------
IR39286 CreateDocument and AddPart
The CreateDocument and AddPart methods were returning 0 return codes
when servers were down. The methods now return correct return codes.
IR39967 Byref booleans
Documents.OpenDocument() returns insufficient privileges for this
operation. The method has been modified to accept 'Browse' flag by
value or by reference.
IR40085 Standardized OLE return codes
The Error object does not contain any meaningful information when
sending an error to the calling OLE application. New return codes
have been added:
Standardized OLE API return codes:
The error codes returned by the OLE Automation
methods have been standardized to return ether the
values described in the "Messages and Codes" manual
- recognizable by their uniformly 4 digit return,
codes or the values described in the following table:
#define OLEAPI_RC_UNEXPECTED_ERROR 11003
#define OLEAPI_RC_NOT_LOGGED_ON 12000
#define OLEAPI_RC_INVALID_INDEXCLASS 12001
#define OLEAPI_RC_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY 12002
#define OLEAPI_RC_NO_ITEMS_FOUND 12003
#define OLEAPI_RC_INVALID_WORKBASKET 12004
#define OLEAPI_RC_ALREADY_LOGGED_ON 12005
#define OLEAPI_RC_INVALID_ARGUMENT 12006
#define OLEAPI_RC_NO_DOC_OPEN 12007

#define OLEAPI_RC_FAX_GEN_ERROR 12111
#define OLEAPI_RC_FAX_EMPTY_TOC 12112
#define OLEAPI_RC_FAX_NODOCSIN_TOC 12113
The return code value is submitted both in the
exception sent and in the Error.ReturnCode property.
NOTE: These #defines are located in the new frnwole.h header file.
IR40120 Not able to close documents from OLE
The Close method on a Document object did not work. The window was not
removed and the document stayed in the documents collection.
IR40170 Unable to disable notelog editing via OLE
The customer used IP2_DISABLE_NOTE_APPEND to disable note log editing.
This was not working as expected. The customer could still go in and
edit the note log through the client.
IR40253 Viewer menus removed with certain ACL
Menu items disappeared when a document was opened more than once. The
user had TOC privileges of delete, Add, Update and Read Contents,
Workbasket privileges of Read, Add, Remove and Change. The user also
had print privileges.
IR40620 VI 4.3 Security Exposure using EKDVICLT
The QVISNDRCV API on the server invokes the client application
(vic.exe) via the client-side program EKDVICLT. When the user closes
the client, the Task Manager shows that vic.exe remains active. If
another user then uses the QVISNDRCV api from the server, the Client
just pops without requiring a user id or password. The second user is
now logged on to the server as the first user with all of the first
user's authorities instead of the second user's authorities.
The security hole is plugged.
IR40758 New OLE API to copy/add annotations
The following method has been added to the Item class:
I4 AddAnnotationPart(BSTR Path)
Allows the external application to add an annotation part to a
document. The Path argument must be a full path to the new
annotation part to be used with the document. If an annotation part
already exists, it will be replaced by the new annotation file.
This new method can be used in the copying of a document as shown in
the following code fragment:
' Connect to an already open client application and get
' a copy of the item representing the currently open document
Set viapp = CreateObject("VIC.Application")
Set item = viapp.Image.item
' get the path to the first part
part = item.GetPartFile(1)
' get the content class of the first part.
partClass = item.GetPartContentClass(1)
' Create a new document.
Set item2 = viapp.CreateDocument("test3")
' Add the part from the original document
retValue = item2.AddPart(part, partClass)
' Add the annotation part.
' Note: even if the file name passed in has an extension, the
' extension .T_L will be used instead.
retAnValue = item2.AddAnnotationPart(part)
IR40761 Item.Class property disabled with Application.DisableMenus
If you called the Application.DisableMenus method with the Flag
argument containing the IP2_DISABLE_INDEX_CLASS_CHANGE value prior to
using Item.Class to change the index class, the Item.Class to change
the index class, the Item.Class call would fail, reporting that the
user had insufficient privileges. The call no longer fails.
IR40891 Item.ChangeNotes doesn't allow updates
The Item.ChangeNotes method was not working correctly. It was
returning an error when a user attempted to use it to create new notes
for a document if the user had append but update authority.
Now, if the user has append authority and attempts to save new notes,
the method now verifies that the new notes represent an append to the
existing notes (if any) and allows the change only if this is the case.
IR40915 MSTRSF32.ENG does not handle EBCDIC
When the customer tried to display EBCDIC files, the screen was blank
or incorrect characters were displayed. EBCDIC characters are now
displayed correctly.
IR41216 Objects imported via OLE go to wrong SMS
All parts were automatically added to the Object Server and Collection
associated with the document's Index Class. This meant that newly
imported objects did not go to the user's default Index Class, as
desired. With the enhancement provided in this APAR fix, a programmer
can now specify that the Library Server should choose the Object
Server and Collection for a new part according to its rules (usually
the User's default Object Server and Collection).
Item.AddPart now has an optional 3rd argument. The definition is now:
long AddPart(VT_BSTR Path, VT_BSTR CClass, VT_VARIANT SMSOption)
If SMSOption is set to TRUE (non-zero) or omitted, the Index Class's
default Object Server and collection will be used (original behavior).
If SMSOption is set to FALSE (0), the Library Server will choose the
Object Server and Collection, based on the configuration (usually the
defaults for the user).
IR41312 Client shouldn't change SMS when only key field values change
The SMS (collection) information for parts was being changed when
items' key fields were changed, even if the index class was not. SMS
information is now only updated if the index class changes.
IR41370 Client crashes when trying to index a search results folder
The client would trap if the user attempted to Index a Search Results
folder into an Index Class that had a SaveRecord User Exit defined.
The client now handles this condition correctly.
IR41428 When client opened & closed via OLE, error while closing app
When the client was opened, documents were viewed and then the client
was shut down via VisualBasic calls to the OLE interface, the client
would crash when the program was exited.
IR41683 User is not notified when annotation changes could not be saved
If there is a problem saving annotations to a document, the user was
not notified. An error message is now displayed if annotations cannot
be saved.
IR41851 Support Euro sign in Sticky note and Notelogs
The Client now supports the Euro sign in Sticky notes and Notelogs.
This support is provided for Windows workstations whose OEM codepage
is 850 and that have Euro sign support.
Additionally, the client can now communicate with AS/400s that use
Euro sign-enabled codepages (EBCDIC codepages 1140-1160).
IR41871 Document removed from original AutoFolder after reindexing
Auto-foldered documents were being removed from folders when they were
re-indexed. This is not always desireable.
Control over the removal of auto-foldered documents has been added to
the vic.ini file. A new entry has been added to the "[Options]"
stanza: "Remove AutoFoldered Documents on Reindexing". The values are
as follows:
"always" - (The default) When an auto-foldered document is
re-indexed, it is removed from the folder into which it was
auto-foldered.
"never" - When an auto-foldered document is re-indexed, it is NOT
removed from the folder into which it was auto-foldered.
"key field change only" - When an auto-foldered document is
re-indexed to a new index class, it is NOT removed from the
folder into which it was auto-foldered. When it is re-indexed
within its current index class and the key field for auto-
foldering is changed, it is removed from the folder into which
it was auto-foldered (and put into a folder for the new key
field value).
IR41879 Problem loading Pixel files on NT Terminal Server
The viewer was unable to load the Pixel Translations engine on NT TSE
machines. An updated Pixel Translation engine, in conjunction with
some PixTran files being moved, allows the PixTran engine to be loaded
by the viewer.
Special Installation Instructions for TSE machines:
To work around a problem with loading Pixel Translations files, do
the following:
Move frnview.chn and scanntl.chn from %windir%\PIXTRAN to %FRNROOT%.
Move all the *.pxj files from %windir%\PIXTRAN to %windir%\SYSTEM32.
IR41944 Problems saving/viewing advanced searches with multiple users
Advanced search templates were not available to NT users without
Administrator authority. NT users without Administrator authority can
now use advanced search templates.
NOTE: With the inclusion of the IR43116 fix (see below), searches are
now saved on a per-user basis and users will no longer be able
to see or use advanced searches created by a different NT user.
IR41981 Client does not notify user if printing job does not complete
If, for some reason, there is a problem printing some part of a
document, the user was not notified. The user is now notified of
problems that occur during printing.
IR42002 Unable to view some TIFF documents that used to be viewable
Some TIFF documents that used to be viewable are no longer viewable
using the latest DLLs. An updated Pixel Translations DLL is provided
that makes these TIFF files viewable again.
IR42280 Trap when displaying an AFP doucument with a blank page
Attempting to view a MO:DCA/AFP document with an empty page caused the
viewer and client to crash. AFP documents with empty pages are now
handled correctly.
IR42281 Poor image quality when using the IBMBR engine to view MO:DCA
Image quality is poor for some MO:DCA documents using the IBM
"Bedrock" engine. The image quality has been improved for some
scaling factors.
IR42286 Unable to display Czech characters in sticky notes
It was not possible to type Czech characters in sticky notes on Czech
systems. The default character set for sticky notes, text annotations
and stamp annotations is now correct for all Eastern European and
Russian clients.
Additionally, it is now possible to specify a minimum note font size
for sticky notes. By default note text will continue to scale with
the underlying document but a minimum font size of 8, 10 or 12 can now
be specified so that the text will never become unreadably small.
To do this, add the following line under the "[View Options]" stanza
in the "frnwview.ini" file:
MinimumNoteFontSize=8
Values of "10" or "12" are also acceptable -- all other values will
be ignored.
IR42318 Fix Line and Arrow annotations when drawn w/zero area
Line and Arrow annotations were not saved when the annotation area was
0 (the case for perfectly horizontal or vertical lines). Annotations
for pages not viewed were being deleted. The overlay DLL has been
modified to ignore if arrow or line annotations have 0 area. The
viewer has also been modified to load all the pages in memory and
obtain the associated overlay handle irrespective of whether the page
was actually viewed.
IR42339 Can't open documents whose sizes are multiples of 32768
Documents whose sizes were multiples of 32768 could not be opened.
IR42394 Customer wants special return code for SaveRecordUserExit
As designed, the Client displays an error message if the
SaveRecordUserExit returns a non-0 return code. The error message is
not always desirable. The client now suppresses the error message if
the SRUE return code is 10000.
IR42444 Unnecessary restriction on field width for DBCS code pages
The number of characters allowed in fields was being unnecessarily
restricted on DBCS Clients. Users are now allowed to type the full
count of characters into fields on DBCS machines. Note that if the
full count of bytes is entered and the characters are DBCS, the
conversion to EBCDIC will cause problems and an error should be shown.
IR42448 Multiple translation problems with VI/400 v4.3 for German
The German client for VisualInfo/400 translates several statements
incorrectly and places OK button in the wrong place on the screen on
one dialog.
Because of the above and other problems, the entire resource file has
been re-built with all the words, sizes and positions for 4.1 client
and the additions for 4.3 client.
IR42458 No error message when user tries to open an unmounted object
If a user tried to open a document that is on an unmounted platter,
s/he was not told that this is the reason that the object cannot be
opened. An error message specific to this condition is now displayed
as appropriate.
IR42522 Extraneous key fields appear in Search dialog
On the Basic Search panel on the VI/400 Client there are internal key
fields ("Item Name", "Item Identifier"...) displayed that don't appear
under key fields in the Administration module. When users try to
perform a wildcard search with one of these fields it always returns
No Items Found. Internal key fields are no longer displayed.
IR42713 Update MasterSoft DLLs
The Viewer crashed when attempting to view an HTML document. The
Viewer now handles HTML documents correctly.
IR42740 'Printer not found' error message when printer renamed
After a printer was renamed, a "Printer not found" error message was
shown when the user tried to select a printer from the "Settings..."
button on the Print dialog. The Client now correctly handles renamed
printers.
IR42837 Error opening a folder at a collection point
Users were unable to open folders that were at collection points in a
workflow. Folders can now be opened regardless of their location
within a workflow.
IR42926 Default paper size is always 'letter'
Printers are set to print on A4 size paper. However, printing from
the Client defaulted to US Letter size and must be reset the first
time a user wanted to print. The client now takes input from the
printer driver and needs no manual intervention.
IR42942 Work order (FIFO or LIFO) in workbasket not honored
The client was ignoring the "Work order" specified for workbaskets.
Items were returned in the same order, irrespective of whether "LIFO"
or "FIFO" was defined. The client now respects the defined work
order.
IR42965 Pressing Print Settings button causes Win95 client to crash
VisualInfo Windows 95 Client on a laptop crashes when changing printer
from the System Default Printer. The printer can now be changed
without problems.
IR42981 Update Pixel dlls for TIFF format problems
An error message was displayed while trying to view some TIFF files.
New Pixel Translations files fix the problem.
IR42998 No access to a workbasket if access is controlled by ACLs
Users with limited or no general privileges but with ACL access to add
to specific workbaskets were not able to select the "Add to
Workbasket" menu item in the client. The "Add to Workbasket" menu
item is no longer ever disabled. Specific workbaskets may be removed
from the list of workbaskets from which the user can choose, depending
on access lists.
IR43027 Workbasket menu items grayed out when an item was suspended
The "Next" and "Save and Next" Workbasket menu items were being
disabled for items in system-assigned workbaskets that got suspended.
The menu items are now available.
IR43053 Users with read-only privileges cannot see annotations
A user with Document Table of Content Privilege= 1(read only) gets an
error message "Error retrieving annotation file" when trying to open
a document containing an annotation. This error was generated because
the annotation file was being opened with read write privileges. This
problem is now fixed.
IR43116 Problems with settings for multiple users (NT Terminal Server)
Various settings, including defaults for the printer dialog, were
being saved in one location for all users. This caused a problem
for multi-user machines, such as NT Terminal Server Edition systems.
Now, these settings are saved on a per-user basis.
IR43149 User can't add note when privilege is via ACL, not base privs
The client was not allowing adds or updates to notes in the notelog if
the authority to do this was granted only via the ACL assigned to the
index class. This problem is now fixed.
IR43150 Basic Search dialog box crashes client
Occasionally, the client would trap when attempting to open a Basic
Search dialog. The Client no longer traps when opening a Basic Search
dialog.
IR43237 Printing TOC is not in the same order as it is displayed
The order in which TOCs were printed was the order in which the items
were returned from the server. The order in which TOCs are printed
now matches the sort order that the user has chosen via the GUI.
IR43240 User cannot remove document from WB unless doc is open
If a user highlights an item in a TOC and attempts to remove it from
the workbasket, it does not get removed. The item had to be open for
the "Remove from Workbasket" option to work. This problem is now
fixed.
IR43243 EKD6507 Errors resulting from incorrect workpackage calls
When a user was trying to route an item to a different workbasket,
SimWmReturnWorkPackage was called 3 times. The second call caused a
6507 error ("Workpackage already checked in.") and the third call
caused a 6510 error ("Work package ID or WB not found"). These extra
calls have been removed and the errors no longer occur.
IR43315 OLE Search does not check correct privilege set
The OLE Search method was checking general privileges and not the
ACLs associated with the index classes. As a result, users without
general search privileges were unable to search index classes to
which they had specifically been given access via ACLs. This is now
fixed.
IR43328 FRA:Some accented characters are not being allowed for indexing
Some valid French characters were being considered invalid by the
client's Index and Search dialogs. All valid French characters are
now accepted by the French client.
Client APARs fixed in Fixpack C:
--------------------------------
IR39344 Client does not respect DPI when printing
[Note: This APAR was fixed but not originally listed for vic430c.]
IR39555 Add OLE support to print a document anywhere on a page
[Note: This APAR was fixed but not originally listed for vic430c.]
IR40000 MS Word 97 Support
Documents in the MS Word 97 format could not be displayed.
Support for this format has now been added.
+IR40003 Performance enhancements in the client and viewer
This APAR contains performance enhancements for viewing large
documents. Previously, no image would be visible until the entire
first part of the document had been retrieved from the server and
thumbnails had been generated for all its pages. Additionally, no
interaction with the document was possible until all the parts had
been loaded and all their thumbnails created.
With this change, the first page of the first part is displayed as
soon as the part is received. If the thumbnail bar is turned on,
the thumbnails are then generated and then the rest of the pages are
shown. Performance can be further enhanced by leaving the thumbnail
bar off.
Additionally, this APAR works around a Microsoft bug relating to
generating thumbnails for some TIFF files. If the thumbnail bar is
turned off when the document is initially loaded, the viewer will no
longer hang as it had been.
IR40019 Annotations displayed with the Bedrock engine are mis-located
Annotations on documents viewed with the "Bedrock" engine (e.g. MODCA
documents) showed up in the wrong locations. The annotations now
appear correctly.
+IR40086 Indexing ACL - select folder and delete
The windows client did not appear to be following the security
restrictions set up in the SysAdmin. Setting up security to disable
users from changing the index class of some folders wasn't working.
The user could still reindex and delete those folders. Security
restrictions are now followed.
IR40140 Updated frnplw.h needed
[Note: This APAR was fixed but not originally listed for vic430c.]
IR40251 Unable to use shortcut keys to control basic scan
It was not possible to use shortcut keys to control the scan dialog.
The shortcut key (Alt+A) now works.
IR40566 Printing errors are printed rather than logged
Print errors were printed rather than displayed. Instead of printing
the errors, the viewer will now pass a bad return code to the Client.
The Client will display a generic print error message and log the
message returned from the engine regarding the print failure.
IR40617 SaveRecordUserExit called from Save button
The SaveRecord user exit was getting called when the user pressed the
"Save" or "Save as defaults" button on the Index dialog. The user
exit not longer gets called under this circumstance.
IR40696 Adding print normal support
[Note: This APAR was fixed but not originally listed for vic430c.]
IR41049 Can't logon from client if FRNOLINT.TBL has too many entries
The client was unable to handle a network table (FRNOLINT.TBL) with
more that 15 or 20 entries. Logon was not possible. Large network
tables are now handled properly.
IR41247 Client crashes during re-indexing if layout is changed
If the user changes the key field layout in the Index Dialog and then
selects a new Index Class, the client crashes. The client no longer
crashes.
IR41282 Scanner hangs if application closed with scan dialog box open
If a Windows 95/98 client application is brought down while the scan
dialog is open, the scanner cannot be used again until after the
machine is re-booted. The client no longer causes the scanner to hang
if the client is shut down during scanning.
IR41320 Advanced search list does not work beyond first 19 items
Only 19 Advanced Searches could be defined and used. Additional ones
did not function. Client has been changed to allow up to 99 Advanced
Searches to be defined and used.
IR41331 Double-click doesn't open item if it's only partly shown in TOC
If an item is only partially visible in a Table of Contents, it
cannot be double-clicked on to open. Double-clicking on a partially
visible item now works.
IR41380 Intermittent crash when reindexing to new index class
Intermittently, the client would crash when re-indexing documents.
The client no longer crashes.
IR41396 SaveRecord userexit messages not shown
If the SaveRecord user exit returns 0 but passes back a non-NULL
error buffer, the client should display all the error messages in the
error buffer. (Note that this is not the same as the original
problem description for this APAR, which specified that error
messages should be displayed if the user exit returned a non-0 return
code. A non-0 return code is interpreted as an error in the function
of the user exit and a generic error message is displayed. This is
as specified in the documentation.) The client now displays all
appropriate error messages if the exit returns 0 and error messages
are provided. It displays a generic error message if the exit
returns a non-0 value.
IR41399 During indexing, index class combo box wrongly greyed out
When indexing an item, if the user selects a class that does not
allow re-indexing, the user should still be able to select another
class in the dialog since the item has not been saved in this
restrictive class. The Index dialog now allows the Index Class to be
changed as appropriate.
IR41430 The search user exit is not called for advanced search
The AlternateSearch user exit was not being called for Advanced
searches. The AlternateSearch user exit defined for the "NOINDEX"
index class, if any, will now be called for all Advanced searches.
Additionally, this user exit will be called for any search over "All
Index Classes".
IR41474 Client crashes on Windows 95 if Process menu is empty
If the user's Access Control List (Privileges) is so restricted that
s/he would have nothing on the Process menu, sooner or later the
client crashes if the OS is Windows 95. This appears to be a
Microsoft bug -- we are working around it by hiding (removing) the
Process menu, rather than deleting it from memory.
IR41477 User cannot change from default printer selection
It was not possible to change from the default printer selection.
Once the client was started with a default printer, it would always
print to that printer even though the display showed the newly
selected printer. This problem only occured with some printers.
Switching printers is now possible in all situations.
IR41530 Advanced search doesn't work if MaxTOCCount=0
Advanced Searches are only returning 1 item if the maximum TOC count
is set to "0", which should signify no limit. Advanced searches now
work correctly.
IR41625 Right margins of images are being truncated--need fit to page
Starting with Fixpack A, printing was changed so that documents were
printed at normal/100% size, rather than fit to page, as they had
been previously. While this change (for APAR IR40696) was useful in
some situations, it forced the right-most and bottom-most areas of
the image to be clipped off for others. The above-mentioned change
to printing is now undone and, by default, documents print out fit to
page once again. However, to satisfy the need for some images to be
printed at normal/100% size, a new "Fit to page" checkbox has been
added to the Print dialog. This option is on by default but can be
turned off as necessary. This new option has only been added to the
English version of the Print dialog initially but can be made
available for other languages on request. To enable this option,
users with the English version of the client must remove the
"frnwimgr.dll" file from their \FRNROOT\DLL directory. For all other
customers, images will always print fit to page, as they had before.
Control over the "fit to page" capability is also provided via the
OLE interface through a new, optional fifth parameter to the
Application.PrintSetup method. The method is now defined as:
long PrintSetup(BSTR Printer, I2 PaperSize, BOOL Portrait,
I2 Copies, VARIANT Scaling)
If "Scaling" is set to TRUE (non-zero) or omitted, printing is done
"fit to page". If "Scaling is set to FALSE (0), printing is done
normal/100% size.
IR41705 Print menu item greyed out for search results folder TOC
It was not possible to print the contents of a Search Results folder.
Printing is now possible.
IR41758 After route to a new WB and performing a search, can't open doc
After a document was routed to a new WB without opening it and then
performing a basic search, an error message FRN6562A would get
displayed. When a user tried to remove a document from a WB a
FRN6529A error displayed. This only happened if the document was
open. After indexing a document the item remained in the WB even
though the WB profile states "remove after indexing=yes". These
problems occurred because after moving the document from a WB, the
correctly updated attributes were not used for further operations.
IR41984 Many actions were improperly allowed on Suspended items
Suspended items could be deleted, reindexed, removed or added to a
workbasket or folder. Now, for suspended items, the menu items
relating to deleting, reindexing, removing or adding to a workbasket
or folder are now greyed out.
