« on: August 10, 2020, 11:51:57 AM »

This is an oldie that tripped up an install.

Content Navigator / Chrome 84 tightening of TLS restriction

« on: July 22, 2020, 06:47:09 AM »

Received this from one of the ICN support people:

Chrome 84 released this month implemented a TLS 1.0 / 1.1 restriction that causes a block access to ICN deployments that use the legacy protocols

Instructions to switch to TLS 1.2 on a WAS deployment:

Report Indexing / ACIF on CMOD v10.5 also known as ACIF V4.7 New Message

« on: July 15, 2020, 10:17:46 AM »

ACIF on CMOD v10.5 may put out a new message APK511W.

See the Ricoh guide:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.apku000/apskumst51.htm#apk511

The message is issued only if the one is using the ACIF parameter CONVERT=YES and the input file is line data with consecutive stream delimiters (which are considered “blank lines”).

In order to suppress the message and get everything working again, you need to use CC=YES,DISCARD

Here are the options and behavior:

1) CONVERT=YES

cc=yes,discard no msg and RC 0
cc=yes,fix msg and RC 4 (default)
cc=yes,ignore msg and RC 0
cc=yes,strict msg and RC 16

2) CONVERT=NO

All options (discard, fix, ignore, strict) give no msg and RC 0.

This is when you're using this level of ACIF:

APK440I ACIF AT PSFz470 HAS COMPLETED NORMALLY WITH RETURN CODE 0.

Windows Client / Rotating Output Considerations

« on: November 26, 2019, 11:27:03 AM »

1. The AFP viewer will look at settings in the MISC registry before looking in the ftdport2.ini

2. CutSheet apears to be case sensitive. For example CutSheet=TRUE

3. For AFP viewer rotation issues on Windows 10, it's best to to update the Windows client to V10.1.0.5

« on: August 29, 2019, 12:19:35 PM »

We found the following in our testing:

https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1PH10629&

PH10629: A BUG IN APAR PH01275 CHANGES EXISTING OUTPUT WHEN REPAIRING RECORDS WITH MISSING TRC BYTES WHEN CC AND TRC ARE REQUIRED.

PTFs are available for PH10629.

You can tell what level of ACIF you're on from the APK440I message.

For example:
