Re: Re[2]: AS/SET Versions in use at SSA -- BPCS-L

You can use an older ADK to browse the action diagrams. You may lose some
enhancements if you use the older ADK to compile them, however, If you read
the ADK Net Changes for 6.1.00 you will see some important changes were made
in that release of the tool that change the way SQL is used and the way
programs compile and the way that CLMSG compiles.

So, you should use 6.1.00 ADK to update 6.1.00. Certain programs may not
work the same if 6.0.04 ADK is used to compile them, particularly for
performance considerations.

While it is unlikely a 6.1.00 BPCS program will stop working completely if
compiled in 6.0.04 ADK, this scenario is not tested by SSA. At SSA 6.1.00
ADK is used to make 6.1.00 BPCS and other versions of ADK are not tested to
compile the new release.

Both ADK releases can co-exist on the same box, and do here at SSA on at
least 3 different boxes. However there are no written instructions on how to
do this per se.

You can simply install 6.1.00 ADK as a new version on your system rather
than asking the install to update your existing ADK 6.0.04 if you are going
to want both versions of ADK on the box.

Be sure to read the instructions for installing ADK 6.1.00 carefully. An
issue exists described by the below BMR - so ensure your Control and Object
library both have the same name, such as ASSETO61 :

MR Number:  49981
Priority Code:  A
Version Reported: 6100
Platform Reported: AS400
Program:  INS
Origin Code:  I
Completed Date: 00-00-00
Rejected Date:  00-00-00
Rejected Reason:

INSTADK allows wrong lib names

When using INSTADK and installing the ADK tool, the install program allows
the user to enter seperate names for the Control and Object library. The
default name for both of these is 'ASSETO'. These must be the same name, or
the environment which installs will be invalid. Instead, the install program
should not prompt the user for 2 names - it should prompt for one name, and
name both libraries the same thing to avoid program errors later.
Instructions for installing ASSET were updated to warn users of this, but
for future, the install program should not allow users to enter invalid
options for these names.

When loading the 6.1.00 repository into ADK 6100, be aware of this MR, and
if necessary you can temporarily rename some libraries on your system to get
through the install of the repository, then change the library name back to
what you wanted it to be.

MR Number:  49982
Priority Code:  A
Version Reported: 6100
Platform Reported: AS400
Program:  INS
Origin Code:  I
Completed Date: 00-00-00
Rejected Date:  00-00-00
Rejected Reason:

Repository hardcodes ASSETSAVE

Install program for the BPCS AS/SET repository hard-codes an assumed value
of ASSETSAVE as the name of the library where ASSET will retrieve the
repository programs to built a set during save/restore operations. However,
when a user installs ASSET, they are allowed to call this library whatever
they choose to. The repository install should allow the user to specify the
name of their ASSETSAVE library, in the case that they have named it other
than the default value. For now, instructions have been altered to warn
users when installing ADK that the BPCS repository will expect the library
'ASSETSAVE'. For future, repository install should allow a different name.

     Am I to infer from the previous posts in this thread that you MUST use
     6.1.00 ADK to browse/modify 6.1.00 BPCS Action Diagrams?

     Is it possible to have 6.0.04 ADK and 6.1.00 ADK co-existent on the
     same box?

Actually you need to use version 6.0.04 ADK, not 6.1.00. Version 6.1.00 has
not been tested at SSA to generate 6.0.02 BPCS. Because of this, it is
recommended by R&D at SSA that you use 6.0.04 ADK with all releases of BPCS
below 6.1.00. This is available on CISC or RISC. When you install the new
release, it prompts you for an existing environment of ADK and will
automatically upgrade the release and do any required changes to the ADK
files.

Is AS/SET version 6.0.02 Y2K compliant. If not, what do we have to do to
make it so?

Thanks,

SSA is using 6.0.04 AS/SET for releases lower than 6.1.00 (BPCS CD, 6.0.02
and 6.0.04) and for BPCS 6.1.00 are using 6.1.00 ADK. We have the Y2K fixes
applied.

What version is SSA using for BMRs sent us?
