CISC is no longer supported. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS o Tips and Notes o Current XAR6 MUI PTFs *********************************************************************** TIPS AND NOTES -------------- * REQUIREMENTS For XAR6 the operating system must be OS/400 V4R3 or higher. Additionally, the following IBM PTFs and APIs must be applied: IBM Product ID: 5769SS1 V4R3 V4R4 SF61366 SF61374 SF61371 SF61378 Required IBM API objects QDDDUPDF and QWSACCDS are packaged with MAPICS objects in AMALIBx because they were created by IBM for MAPICS. * NEW FUNCTIONALITY Functional and visible changes to MUI XAR6 are few; however, under the covers the architecture has major enhancements to allow MUI to run at security level 40 if needed. Running at security level 30 is still the recommended preference. Please DO NOT apply any OLD versions of MUI PTFs to XAR6. MUI for XAR6 has major changes in over 100 programs. It should not be necessary run CQIBMMUI on XAR6 because of architecture changes and new IBM APIs. The STRMUI command can now be assigned for individuals or interface codes; this means that MUI may be operational for some users and not for others. A new sequence number field has been added within MUI to provide user sequencing of the order the fields appear in; maintain this field in the "Notes - Identify an Object" display that appears when using "I" on the Objects to display identifiers in the "Notes - Objects" screen from the heading "Object", under "Note", which is reached by using the ADMMUI command from a command line. * MUI PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS Performance can be improved by turning off MUI screen design. This can be accomplished by changing the APPTXT file records at position 238 from INTERFACE(*YES) to INTERFACE(*NO) for each application. Starting in position 206 of the APPTXT file, the MUI commands look like this: STRMUI HELP(F1 *UNUSED *ALWAYS) INTERFACE(*YES) HOTKEY(HOME MAIN_MENU) MENU(*MAIN_MENU) MENU(*NONE) * OPERATING SYSTEM PTFS/UPGRADES Currently OS/400 changes should not result in the need to 'reset' MUI as previous levels did; this means, as noted above, that the CQIBMMUI program should no longer be required. * OS SECURITY LEVEL REQUIREMENT MUI will now allow the AS/400 to run at a security level of 40 or lower; there may, however, be other reasons to run at a level of 30 as per previous releases, and you should check the requirements for all applications and third-party programs you are running. To verify the security level of your system, do the following: DSPSYSVAL QSECURITY If needed, use the following command to change the system security level as appropriate (in the following example '30' is used): CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QSECURITY) VALUE('30') ** Important note - the system must be re-IPLed for the above change to take effect. * SPECIAL NOTES CONCERNING THE APPLY OF MUI PTFs a.) When applying MUI PTFs, be sure to use either the AMAPICS or QSECOFR user profile, or a profile with *ALLOBJ authority. b.) MUI PTFs MUST be applied directly to the AMALIBx (where 'x' is your environment designator). They CANNOT be applied to any other library, even if that library is ahead of AMALIBx in the library list. MUI uses its own library list and will only work from AMALIBx. c.) Before applying a MUI PTF, be sure to verify there are NO locks against the AMALIBx. To check for locks, run the following: WRKOBJLCK OBJ(QSYS/AMALIBx) OBJTYPE(*LIB) If this command shows ANY locks against AMALIBx, either end the job(s) or have the user sign out of MAPICS. d.) After applying MUI PTFs, sign completely off the AS/400 then sign back on. Upon signing into MAPICS again, MUI will be restarted thereby allowing the newly applied MUI PTFs to be in effect (the first person into MAPICS after applying a MUI PTF will experience a slightly longer startup time). e.) After applying MUI PTFs, the ownership of the MUI modules may be changed to QDFTOWNER. Verify that all modules affected by the PTF are owned by AMAPICS (use the DSPOBJAUT command; if needed, use the CHGOBJOWN command to change owner to AMAPICS). *********************************************************************** CURRENT XAR6 MUI PTFs --------------------- MUI PTFs for RISC System ------------------------ SH40962 *********************************************************************** PTF SUMMARY ----------- SH40962 Conglomerated PTF containing all MUI HELP and LOOKUP records. Please be advised, this PTF is EXTREMELY large. Only those users experiencing error "EXTERNAL HELP FILE COULD NOT BE OPENED" when pressing F1 for HELP on a field and/or a pop-up window stating "THERE IS NO WINDOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FIELD" when pressing F4 for LOOKUP need to download/apply this PTF. -- Gernot Langle PARAS Solutions, Inc. http://www.parassolutions.com mailto:glangle@parassolutions.com +--- | This is the MAPICS Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MAPICS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MAPICS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MAPICS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: dshaw@spartan.com +---
