The WBI Workbench v4.2.4 - Patch9 requires a previous installation of the full version of WBI Workbench 4.2.4 - Fix Pack2.

New Updates:

• The FDL file can be exported to WebSphere MQ Workflow 3.5

• The Organization file name length can be up to 80 bytes.

• The following must be considered while defining the MQ Workflow Name for a Task object:

• WBI Workbench - UML Modeler supports exporting UML Models to all Rational® XDE™ 2003 builds.

• The WBI Workbench supports now the integration with the IBM WBI Toolset 4.2.1.1 Fix Pack, IBM WBI Toolset 4.2.2, and IBM WBI Toolset 4.2.2.1 Fix Pack.

• The Currencies data cannot be imported now using the Import Data feature.

• A specific FDL file can be now exported for z/OS™ and OS/390® platforms to comply with the requirements of these platforms. This can be done by selecting a new check box named FDL for the mainframe OS/390 in the Export FDL Options dialog box. This check box appears only when you select to export the FDL file for MQ Workflow v3.3.2 SP3 or WebSphere MQ Workflow v3.4 from the Workflow Engine dialog box.

• The Node name can be up to 35 bytes, but it will be truncated to 32 bytes in the exported FDL file.

• The Entry Point text box, in the Applications dialog box, is validated to hold a maximum of 32 bytes.

• The decimal precision for currencies exchange rate can be up to seven decimal places.

• The Working Directory for an application is not mandatory any more. However, it must be defined, if the organization FDL file is planned to be imported to IBM MQ Workflow Buildtime.

• The Service text box in the Applications dialog box must be defined, in order to allow definition of other text boxes in this tab.

• The Task name can be up to 235 bytes.

• The Process name can be up to 235 bytes.

• The External Process name (in the E-Commerce editing mode) can be up to 235 bytes.

• When using WBI Workbench on a system locale that is not supported, then the organization will be opened as read only.

• The exported Simulation results can include now up to 32,000 jobs instead 16,300 jobs by using a new enhanced exporting tool.

• The Time Between Jobs option in the Simulation Setup dialog box is now validated so that it does not exceed one year.

• The exported FDL files Version 3.4 have been updated to prevent including non-supported syntax that belongs to earlier versions. This update fixes the problem related to PMR 94171,004,000
• When importing a data structure from UML Modeler, any Class attribute that has no defined data type will be imported into WBI Workbench as a data field of type Character.

Fixed bugs:

• APAR JR20158: Fixed the bug that caused WBI Workbench to crash while working on the Data Fields Metrics dialog box in an organization that contains multiple copies of data structures.

• APAR JR20149: Fixed the bug that caused the order of items in the Data Structures Tree to be lost, when using the Import Processes feature.
• APAR JR20135: Fixed the bug that caused existence of duplicate roles upon repeating the import of employees file.
• APAR JR20134: Fixed the bug that caused WBI Workbench not to accept negative values for the Initial value field in the Data tab of the Task object dialog box.
• APAR JR18764: Fixed the bug that caused removing all processes Notes from a process, when this process has been created by using the Save Process As command, and the original Process has been deleted, and no further save occurred prior to the close of WBI Workbench.
• APAR JR18626: All string variables are now initialized prior to the export of data to MS Excel.
• APAR JR18653: Fixed the bug that occurred on Process expansion; when a search for the inputs and outputs for every sub-process (recursively) takes place to identify the proper connections between objects in the main (High Level) process, and those in the child process.  In some specific cases these calculations went wrong, leading to an application crash.
• APAR JR18765: Fixed the bug that caused the miss of Data Fields names for the predefined data fields and data structures (to which initial values are set), when they are exported in the FDL file.
• APAR JR18766: Fixed the bug that caused the failure of importing the IBM WebSphere Business Integration (WBI) Monitor™ Data from a .wfd file, if the Workbench Process Name is different from the MQ Workflow Process Name.
• APAR JR18767: Fixed the bug that caused exporting the Audit_Filter events selected for a High Level process, as the events assigned to the sub-processes too. Each processes' Audit_Filter events are exported appropriately now.
• APAR JR18820: Fixed the bug that causes error message requesting the Queue and Queue Manager Names when selecting PESSERVER (Program Execution Server) as an execution agent in the General Tab of the Task Object dialog box.
• APAR JR18925: Fixed the error that caused bpa.exe to give error message while trying to generate the Process Summary report.
• APAR JR18932: Fixed the bug that causes the Printed Process Diagram Layout (Portrait / Landscape) different from the selected layout in Print setup.
• APAR JR18968: Fixed the bug that causes the exported FDL expressions missing the enclosed braces, when these expressions are concatenated from consecutive decisions.
• APAR JR19029: Adding an extra option during export FDL, for OS/390 Syntax of Arrays.
• APAR JR19170: Fixed the bug that generates smaller number of jobs in simulation if a follow decision is used in a Sub-Process and the time between jobs is greater than the process time. In addition, updated the documentation help topic entitled "Defining a Binary Decision Object" regarding the selection of the Follow check box in a Decision object dialog box.
• APAR JR19171: Fixed the bug that causes incorrect Process Cycle time if the start date and time of any task in this process falls during the time between shifts based on the used Calendar.
• APAR JR19173: Fixed the bug that causes a crash in WBI Workbench when opening a Process that has been checked out from IBM WebSphere Business Integration (WBI) Workbench Server^TM .
• APAR JR19247: Fixed the bug that causes WBI Workbench on Windows NT to generate error upon validating the year value in the Process Info dialog box, in case the input date format limits the presentation of the year value to two digits only. Furthermore, fixed bug in WBI Workbench on Windows NT that causes the month and year not to appear on the yellow caption in the Calendar dialog box.
• APAR JR19309: The Queue Manager Name for a User Program Execution Server (UPES) is not mandatory any more, except when this UPES is used by a WBI Collaboration Task.
• APAR JR19310: Fixed the bug that caused the User Program Execution Server (UPES) dialog box not to accept the following characters in the Queue Name and Queue Manager Name text boxes: _ . / %
• APAR JR19311: Fixed the bug that caused the value of Total Duration in the simulation Activities table to be less than the Working Duration for the same task.

• APAR JR19403: Fixed the bug that causes the MQ validation not to work with the _State() function, when the function is followed by any string in a double quote.

• APAR JR19404 The user can select the notes type (Basic Description or MQ Description) to be exported/imported with XML files.

• APAR JR19405: Fixed the bug that causes the Workbench to crash because the export of FDL file is enabled, while many sub-processes are being expanded.
