The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
The PTFs referred to by the wiki, are effectively unrelated to, even
though they provide a pre-requisite change for the availability of, some
feature in v5r4. The three-byte [internal product identifier] UME and
the acronym CIM (Common Information Model) were included in those PTFs
only for the ability to easily search. Those PTF changes were an
enhancement to the way the system exposes functionality specific to a
database -- as required by the changed feature, but nothing specific to
only that feature.
Basically some function provided via CIM was being moved into its own
product [as a matter of packaging]. Having moved out of the operating
system, the function would no longer have access to i5/OS internals.
Both an install change and a definitional change were provided [via the
two PTFs SI24454 & SI24455], to enable functional access from the
product [any function], without requiring any access to i5/OS internals;
an install change to v5r4, because the packaging change would be exposed
in that existing release.
