RE: Upgrading to V4R4

["Kandel, Ed" <ekandel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The MUI issue shouldn't be a issue - it' just a matter of following the
instructions in the MAPICS informationals.  The MAPICS business partner
should know about that and plan for that during the upgrade.

The "gotcha" is the informationals discuss doing the CQIBMMUI call during a
release upgrade.  But, beware that a CUM can upset the MUI functionality.
So, I always do the CQIBMMUI to set the OS/400 up when doing a release
upgrade or a CUM.

The MUI is good "magic" from MAPICS that provides cursor sensitive
prompting, help text, and screen modification outside of the application
code.  So, I agree that IBM isn't at fault. The way I think of it is (from a
application programmer view) - the MUI CQIBMMU call must fix the system
domain stuff that is really called from within the application domain
(MAPICS).  That's why MAPICS wasn't allowed to run at greater than security
level "30".

BTW, I thought that MAPICS can now run at security level "40" now.  Is
anybody running above "30" with MAPICS?
