Hello,How does Legasuite treating "wait-animation" icon, it feels somewhat inconsistence, especially when popup occurs. Sometimes I can be waiting for more than 10 seconds for the next screen to come up, but wait-animation icon doesn't show up.  is wait-animation feature configurable?ThanksPeter------------------------------Peter ChengSoftware EngineerAmber Road IncParsippany NJ US------------------------------

Amongst the important updates in v10.1.2 (Rocket MX Web, Rocket MX Desktop edition) is the upgrade of OpenSSL to version 3.0.0. Several encryption methods available previously have been discontinued due to security threats. See also the "Legacy Algorithms" as announced by the OpenSSL project. The video below demonstrates how to improve your security posture as a result of this update. We highly recommend upgrading Rocket MX to v.10.1.2 to leverage both performance and security enhancements.  ------------------------------Roger van ValenSenior manager, software engineeringRocket SoftwareDordrecht, The Netherlands------------------------------

The shop where I now have the pleasure to work has not used copy source that I can see.  When I have copy source, what is the best object type to use? I assume *SRCMBR  with ILE as the attribute.  ------------------------------David TaylorSenior DeveloperRange Resources CorporationFort Worth TX US------------------------------

ALM - Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Management (LMi or LMe) performs two distinct steps.PROMOTEMoves objects within the ALM  from one environment to the next within the ALM database without affecting the outside world.. e.g. from Quality-check to InventoryDEPLOYCopy objects (Extract) from an environment to Install in a library or path that are not directly managed by the ALM (i.e the outside world that is external to ALM). Often these copies are installed on a REMOTE server. e.g.Deploy to the Quality-check approval server or the Production server. Seamless configurationYour ALM could be configured to seamlessly trigger Deployment following a successful Promote:LMe:LMe Client > Setup (Menu Item) > Release Configuration > Expand your Group/Application/Release > select Environments > Right-Click the Environment to Deploy from > Properties > Options (tab) > Select your Deployment ProfileLMi:Main Menu > 13.

Hi Team, We are trying to introduce an exit program every time developers take promote option. We reviewed "Work with  User Exits"  , Exit Function code: PRM with Exit Time code: BA i.e., before any object is processed suits our need. Our exit program needs info about all the sources that developers have selected for  promotion from any given task, and a process will be run in exit program with Go or No Go return code. Questions: How can we get information regarding the sources that are getting promoted in exit programs, any temporary file that can we can access the list ?  Also, do we have a sample template exit program in ACMSLIB ? Thanks in advance!   -- Datta

I recently received a question regarding IFS replication for some paths that contain millions of IFS objects.  What are the selection considerations for large IFS replication groups that may contain millions of IFS objects?  Do you use 'journal=*NONE' in your selection or journaled IFS replication pointing to the default BSF journal in the group?  If the objects are jpg images or docs that never change once they are created, like pdfs, what is the best practice for these? The engineer asking the question is correct that the two methods of IFS (near real time) replication with iCluster are journaled and non-journaled replication.  The other method is using a periodic snapshot replication using a *RFSH replication group type.  (not usually the best choice for millions of objects but should be considered and eliminated if it is not applicable)  For IFS objects that are created, stored and do not change, non-journaled IFS object selection can be a good choice.  On occasion I have heard of

Is there a widget for that I can use to embed a web browser page directly inside a Legauite webpage? Maybe a iFrame? Please let me know, thanks.------------------------------Peter ChengSoftware EngineerAmber Road IncParsippany NJ US------------------------------

After reviewing a few recent posts regarding our Plugin for Eclipse and Rational, it seems that there are a few useful 'setup' things that we might bring in to the light.While our shipped Help does contain decent info on what we are capable of (Help > Help Contents > 'Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager Eclipse Plug-ins User Guide'), I do think we could use more FAQ or 'How-to' type stuff to make it more useful and shorten the learning curve. To that end, over the next several weeks, will be exposing a few tips for the Eclipse plugin for Lifecycle Manager that might help you in your daily tasks.Starting with...Connection options - Good for LMe (also used in LSWB / MX with LMe Plugin):1 - I usually use and recommend the option to display IDE Project names for the connection by Group for Add to Workspace (especially if you have many/hundreds of IDE Projects!). 2- A quick note that the LMe 'server' in the definition should match the configuration in aldcs.conf for LMe client (default is

Hello I am creating an SQL View of Table_One joined to Table_Two joined to Table_Three with the result columns coming from Table_one and Table_three but Table_two has field Procedures for security...none of the columns I am using to join data in 1 to 3...Originally I just wanted to compile the view in my dev but ALDON said it needed table 2 and 3 in my dev environment......so I checked out table 2/3 and created my view in my dev library. But as soon as I tried to promote the view to our ITG environment I get an error"CMS1422 30 Insufficient data to create Object Table_Two type *FILE in the ITG environment--would have been based onobject FLDPROCPGM type *PGM in library PRODLIB. "Why does ALDON care about columns not used in the View?Very Cumbersome!

Creating a series of user friendly web pages across your green screen application is straightforward in LegaSuite Web.  However, customers are increasingly asking for more advanced features such as single views of data.  In this video I show you how to use the workflow recorder in LegaSuite Web to quickly and easily aggregate data from multiple screens with no additional programming required. ------------------------------Andrew SimpsonRocket Software------------------------------

Is there a guide or cheat sheet on what to do when your LMi systems are becoming mixed release?   For example, we’re planning to upgrade Development (Source) to V7R4, but all the targets will still be V7R3.

In iCluster main menu, the option 8. Work with the Full Cluster Status Monitor (iCluster command: WRKCSMON) is a very useful feature to help you understand the replication status. On an active node, you can use it to display the Full Cluster Status Monitor to view replication status, latency, and replication throughput of all replication groups in the cluster or for a specific named group.   The following are some useful pieces of information may help you when you are performing iCluster monitoring:   1. When you see there is high source latency but low apply latency, and the journal entries keep moving, this can be caused by: heavy transactions generated by application jobs journal scrape jobs leak of system resource on primary node to handle the transaction workload. communication bandwidth is not enough Staging store size may need to increase 2. When you see there is low source latency but high apply latency, and the journal entries keep moving, this can be caused by: apply job i

Our ALDON set up already has CRTSQLRPGI for *MODULE and *PGM and I wanted to set up for *SRVPGM, but when we use option F6 to add it blows up....Starting at ALDON main Menu using:11. Setup menu then 4. Work with definitions of commands that create objects and F6=Add definition

The following video produced by the Rocket labs illustrates some best practices for analyzing your workflow data intelligence to uncover areas where you can improve the efficiency of user workflows and processes. You'll see examples of how to organize the workflows based on the user activity and how to prioritize the information to take action to enhance workflow efficiency. You'll also be introduced to workflow 'application mode' where you can discover how various business processes fit holistically in context to every workflow processed by your user community. In addition to identifying and prioritizing workflow improvements, this is also a great way to better understand overall impact analysis of changes to your application portfolio for DevOps considerations. ------------------------------Charles JonesPrincipal Sales EngineerRocket Internal - All BrandsDallas TX US------------------------------

Hello,I am trying to remove licensed users who are no longer working for the company to make room for new users and reuse of their licenses. Aldon is refusing to remove the old user and displays message ID CMS4280.What is a "non-conflict condition"? Do the objects need to be check-in on behalf of the no longer available user or can the check-out be transferred to a new user? Thanks for the help.Patrick

Modernization is a marathon, but out of the gate you need to show wins to gain support. Projects that are ill defined,  too big or too small add risk to your program. If you understand the details of operational workflows and processes, you can make a prioritization decision using hard data, not assumptions. On November 5th I'll be sharing information on how to build the best IBM i automation plan that aligns to business needs and deliver results. Registration is free. Hope to see you there, but also happy to take you questions here in the forum.------------------------------Jeroen van DunProduct ManagerRocket Internal - All BrandsDordrecht Netherlands------------------------------
