Automate

Automate Schedule

Version 4.1

Job purging: A new ‘Days to Keep’ option was added to the job purging settings. When automatic purging of job and job suite history is enabled, you can set the number of days to keep the history before it’s purged. You can set this globally under the System Settings (under Job Defaults), or for an individual job or job suite (under Job History Purge).
Oracle Concurrent Request print options: Print options were added to the Oracle Concurrent Request command builder. You can choose the printer that the output should be sent to, the number of copies to be printed, the print style used for the output (this depends on your system and printer setup), and the print language.
SQL Server integration: The integration with Microsoft SQL Server has been enhanced as follows:
- When using the SQL Server Job command builder in Automate Schedule, you can specify a specific SQL Server (from a cluster) that you want the command to run on.
- Automate Schedule can be configured so that its agents and jobs work in a SQL Server cluster failover environment.
Automate system types: The system types that are available when you’re creating an Automate system definition have been updated. Besides Automate 10 and Automate BPA Server, you can now select Automate 11 or Automate Enterprise Server.
Universal Connector 1.1 enhancements: The Universal Connector now supports the following the following Amazon web services: Amazon EC2, Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS), AWS Lambda, and AWS S3.
The installer was enhanced so that when updating from Skybot Scheduler to Automate Schedule, on a system where Skybot was not installed into the default directory, the original install path is retained in the update.
Support for additional SFTP ciphers was added to prevent a file transfer failure with the following error: “Could not login into SFTP server, cause:Algorithm negotiation fail.”

DetectIT

Version 14.4.8

User Profile Manager

General Enhancements
- The password is no longer retrieved using Work With Export Profiles. Instead, the password is shown as “*SAME”.
Process Global Profile Parameter Templates by Group Profile. Global Profile Parameter Templates may now be maintained and processed using a Group Profile name. The administrator is able to maintain templates for the following ‘Profile Types’:
Specific Profile Name
Main Group
as used on GRPPRF parameter
Supplemental Group
as used on SUPGRPPRF parameter

Template Related Messages Sent to Logs. Messages are sent to DetectIT logs relating to the Profile Parameter Template processing:

ALC3243	Parameter Template &2 type &3 used for profile &1 Identifies the template name and associated (Profile) type
ALC3244 type &4	System &1 parameters updated for profile &2. Template &3 Indicates which system record has been processed
ALT2310	No suitable Profile Parameter Template found for profile &1

For Message Id’s ALC3243 and ALC3244 a ‘Profile Type’ is included, by default to help identify the type of template used:

PROFILE	Specific profile name
GROUP_MAIN	Main Group Profile (i.e. based on CRTUSRPRF, GRPPRF parameter)
GROUP_SUPP	Supplemental Group (i.e. based on CRTUSRPRF, SUPGRPPRF parameter)

Multiple Systems Administrator

Inactive Profiles Remain Enabled on HA/DR System. When a password is changed/updated within the network, the ‘Last used date’ of the IBM i profile on each remote system, is set to the current date. This prevents DetectIT from disabling the profile on a HA/DR system.
General Enhancements:
- References to Older IBM Terminology Replaced. References to ‘AS/400’ and ‘OS/400’ have been replaced with ‘IBM i’ for some reports and interactive screens. The references that have been replaced were identified when reviewing the software as an end-user.
  - Message File, ALTMSGF01
    - Replaced ‘AS/400’ and ‘OS/400’ with ‘IBM i’
    - Replaced ‘PCM’ with ‘RCM’ (Message Id MLT0866)
  - DetectIT Message Id, ALT2301
    - Replaced ‘AS/400’ with ‘IBM i’
  NOTE: For a DetectIT upgrade, with ‘Transfer Data’ set to ‘Y’, the change to the DetectIT Message Id, ALT2301 is made to the stored version of the message text, not the user editable version.

Progress Messages for Background Jobs. Progress messages have been introduced for some background jobs. This allows operations and/or the administrator to confirm the status of specific jobs. Separate DetectIT Message Ids have been created to assist with the review:

ALC3245	Start of Daily Reporting - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
ALC3246	End of Daily Reporting - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
ALC3247	Start of Data Collection - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
ALC3248	End of Data Collection - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
LC3249	A Start of Reporting - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
ALC3250	End of Reporting - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
ALC3251	Start of House Keeping - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
ALC3252	End of House Keeping - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
ALC3253	Start of Frequency Update - &5. Job &4/&3/&2
ALC3254	End of Frequency Update - &5. Job &4/&3/&2

In-Line Processing for @MS File Reorganize. The menu option processing to reorganize physical files in @MS has been changed to prevent potential issues with file locks.
Jobs are still submitted for each file with deleted records. However, instead of submitting 3 main jobs, all the required routines are run ‘in line’ within a single program. Previously, after the reorganize jobs had been submitted, the menu option processing would start both DetectIT subsystems. This could cause issues with file locks.
Documentation Updated for Version 14.4.8. All the shipped DetectIT documentation has been reviewed and updated to be compatible with version 14.4.8. This includes replacing the older IBM terminology such as AS/400, OS/400 etc., where applicable, with the current term(s).

Powerful User Passport

General Enhancements:
- Message Action Item Visa Name Now Mixed Case: The Visa Name may now be entered in mixed (upper and lower) case within Message Action Item.

Bugs Fixed

Message Monitor indicates Action Item if message control is the only change from default values. Within the Message Monitor, a message would be shown as having an ‘Action Item’ even when ‘Message Control’ was the only value that was different from the defaults. ‘Message Control’ on its own does not determine a Message Action Item.
CPF3770 received by MSC326B at *N. The DSTALRTOBJ command processing program was not monitoring for CPF3770 when attempting to distribute an object that does not exist within the @MS library.
MSP77000 'DLTUSRPRF Values for Auto Deletion' does not delete all selected entries. When selecting Option 4 = Delete, the incorrect ‘Level’ value could be passed to the deletion API. This resulted in the API attempting to delete a non-existent entry.
Create new profile using Base On results in Error Message when QPWDLVL set to 3. When using the ‘Base On’ feature, the password for the new profile is cleared. With the way the password was processed, the password validation API was receiving a blank password instead of the user profile name.
Excessive amount of ALC2401 gets written into MSF192* files for file monitor open/close. A previous change to the file monitor data collection caused the File Open Message Id, ALC2401 to be written for every transaction that had at least one field change. It needed to be written when a change of file name was encountered.
Issue with updating timestamp for ALERTF2 job when using file monitor setup with user’s own journal. If the DetectIT default journal ALERTFILES, did not exist, the File Monitor data collection starting timestamp was not being updated.
Message about Backup DHM when attempt to delete system that is not the backup. Incorrect message displayed when attempt to delete a system that was not the Backup DHM.
ALERTF1 - CPF4128 Not able to allocate objects needed. The ALERTF1 could sit on MSGW due to Message Id CPF4128. This situation would occur if the Daily Reporting job ended before the submitted Reorganize Physical File job had completed.
