Re: Mapics R6 and V5R4M0

We just got this response today:

We do have some customer reports of issues running V5R4. These issues
are related to MUI (MAPICS User Interface). MUI controls the F1 help
functions and the F4 search functions in XA. It appears only dumb
workstations are affected by this, not PCs. If you do not have any dumb
terminals, you may not have any issues when upgrading to V5R4. We are
currently looking into this issue but do not have a target date for a
resolution at this point. This is the only issue we are aware of
regarding V5R4.

I got a different response when I contacted Mapics support a couple
weeks 
ago:

"Please make sure you download and appy IBM OS PTF SI24104.  If you do
not 
there will be all types of problems in A/P .  Outside of this known 
problem we are not aware of any others."

This is what we found on the Infor/XA support site.  It is disturbing
and disappointing to see this with all of the new virtual tape backup
and RPG/XML support awaiting us in V5R4, and to see this; a "please do
not upgrade" recommendation from Infor a good 6 months after IBM's
general announcement on V5R4.

Here is the solution:  Issues with V5R4 
If you are using a PC and encounter issues with F1, F4, or the Home key,
please apply SH40962.   This will NOT fix the problem on dumb terminals.

 
We have encountered some issues with V5R4, please do not upgrade to this
release level at this time. 
 
 

Here is the problem or goal: 
Issues with V5R4 
 
Red X appears when pressing F1, F4, or Home keys 
 
After upgrading to V5R4, getting Red X at the bottom of the screen when
pressing F1, F4, or Home keys 
 
MUI not working on V5R4 
 
XA Help, lookup and screen design functions are not working on V5R4 
 

Problem Environment: 
XAR4 
 
XAR5 
 
XAR5.5 
 
XAR6 
 
XAR7

this?

I searched the archives but found nothing about V5R4M0.



As anyone gone to V5R4M0 using Mapics XA release 6 and are there any
issues that anybody picked up?



Thanks.
