This variables replacement works just the same way as the one from the preset server variables it also makes it possible to use your own variable definitions.

PARMS-Parameter %ParameterX%

The PARMS-parameter defines the name of parameters and their values, which can be used further in the Server-Task. In this way it is possible to pass variable values to processing while calling a Server-Task.

i-effect V2R1M0.171

(Installer)
Symptom:

wrong authorities of i-effect language objects in the application library by installation on systems with not supported primary language (e.g. 2939 Swiss)

(*FTP)
New COMMANDLST parameter in the SNDFTP command:

FTP commands target system: _
Command target system . . . . *NONE__________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Command point of time . . . . __________ *BEFORE, *AFTER
Command repetition . . . . . . __________ *ALLFILES, *ONCE

FTP commands for target system

Here you may define up to 50 commands that will be
executed during ftp processin

The second element is the executing time. If you want to
execute_a_command_on_a_remote_system_you_may_define_here
if it is executed prior or subsequent to transmitting the
file(s).

The following options are available:

*AFTER
The command is executed after the FTP-transmission is
done.

*BEFORE
The command is executed prior to the FTP-transmission.

The third element is the commands repitition.

*ALLFILES

The command will be executed for each transmitted
file.

*ONCE
The command will be executed once per FTP session.

Sample:

SNDFTP PROFILE(41)
FRMPATH(´/tmp/invoic*´)
TOPATH(´/´)

i-effect V1R7M0.077

(*SERVER)
New i-effect server EDI-variables available:

If you process EDI-files with i-effect server, use these variables
to get the corresponding values from UNB-/UNH-segments of processed file:

%UNB_ORIGINATOR%
%UNB_RECIPIENT%
%UNH_MESSAGETYPE%
%UNH_MESSAGEVERSION%
%UNH_MESSAGERELEASE%
%UNH_MESSAGEAGENCY%

Sample:

i-effect Server - processing steps

(*ZIP)
ADDZIP/ADDARCFIL FTMIFSFILE(*.PDF) - new workflow if no files (e.g. *.pdf) to compress found:

- if GZI0551 message sebverety < 40, compression job will be NOT cancelled

GZI0551 30 Object(s) &1 not found.

- if GZI0551 message severety >= 40, compression job will be be cancelled

GZI0551 40 Object(s) &1 not found.

i-effect V1R7M0.076

(*CRYPT)
*CRYPT - Improved performance for keystore access.

(*FTP)
Symptom:

Although the FTP-command is configured as it could pick up more than 1 file (RCVFTP PARTNER(ICO) FRMPATH(´/OUT/HTRFT*´) REPLACE(*YES) ) only 1 file is retrieved, nevertheless there were 2 files available on the ftp-server.

As this FTP-transmission runs 3 times a day; and it crashes 3 times a day, we can reproduce this error on our system.
Normally our CL-program crashes on the FTP-command with the GZI0608-command, when I answer with ´R´ the job runs again, but not when I do a ´retry´ immediately; apperently the systeem needs some time, so I waited a couple of minutes and retried and then the RCVFTP-command ran succesfully.

// the first file will be received correctly
// try to get the next one fails with exceprtion:
// java.io.IOException: "by call java methode "setDataTransferTyope"

Solution:

// so try to delay job for defineable count of seconds
// set the following envvar before rcvftp call
// ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(IEFFECT_FTP_GETDELAY) VALUE(10)

i-effect V1R7M0.074

Transactions content control for inbound/outbound edifact and flatfile files. (condition: process ID logging is activated - menu item 80, selectioon 8 to *BASE)

(*BASE, *EDIFACT)
New Mapping functions supported (inbound/outbound) The following information can be saved in the VORADDINF i-effect transactions table for further use (e.g. in diverses archiving systems)
*INDEX(UNB_INTREF) - save interchange reference
*INDEX(UNB_FROM) - save sender
*INDEX(UNB_TO) - save recipient
*INDEX(UNB_DATE) - edi file creation date
*INDEX(UNB_TIME) - edi file creation time
*INDEX(UNH_MSGTYP) - edi message type
*ARCHIVEID - i-effect VORGANGID_DATEIID for unique identify of processed file for any archived system.

(*BASE, *SERVER)
Additional to existing *OK and *ERROR, following new *SERVER Workflow features released (definable in menu item 40, selection 16):
*DIAG This processing is started if the corresponding server status ends with status *DIAG.
*MSGID This processing gets started, whenever the server task has a logbook entry with a message id like the one enteres into this parameter.nummer(n) eingetragen hat.
*REGEX This processing gets started, whenever the server task has created a logbook entry, that can be found with the regular expresion defined in this parameter.
*SQL This processing gets started, whenever the server task has created a logbook entry, that can be identified by specifying a SQL-WHERE-LIKE condition.

(*EMAIL)
RCVEMAIL command:
Changed logic for removing of processed/received emails.
A received mail is now marked to be removed as soon as the paylod (attachments/inline texts) was stored on system.

(*BASE, *SERVER)
Symptom: by *IFS/*MONITOR, *IFS/*SCHEDULE the locked IFS files will be processed. It is possible, server processing start before IFS file completely written. That is whay in some workflows the max. count of active jobs in the EFFSERVER job queue should be set to 1.

Since V1R7M0.051 i-effect checkt the IFS object locks. In case if the object in use, server processing don´t start, following *INFO message will be send: "File "&2" is in use, job: "1". Skip file." It is not neccessury any more to reduce the count of act. jobs in the queue.

(*EDIFACT)
*SETDOCCLS() function not working correctly for first document when used in UNB()

(*BASE)
RNX0100 t/ieffectSetTrackedObjektStatus 1352 IEFTRCOBJ

(*EDIFACT)
When special character ":" is being used in a data group element that is being followed by at least one more empty data group element and another data element, the resulting EDIFACT segment has been generated incorrect.

(*AS2)
Changed handling for HTTP GET requests in AS2 server.
For a GET request on "http://AS2_SERVER_IP:AS2_PORT" the server now responds with a status page instead of creating a *DIAG session and discarding the request.
Useful to check server status/availabilty.

(*REPORT, *AS2, *EMAIL, *HTTP, *CRYPT)
File registration implemented for tracking processed files and according process/session/modul information.

(*REPORT)
Fully copied/implemented functionalities from V2R1M0 *REPORT release into V1R7. Both report versions now have the same software level.

(*REPORT)
The locale to use for report creation can be now passed-in as string parameter in RUNREPORT command ("DE", "EN" etc.).
more precisely:
This parameter sets the desired locale for the buil-in JasperReport parameter "REPORT_LOCALE"

(*SPOOL)
CVTSPLCSV not handling *UTF8 conversion correctly. Characters missing in output file.

(*SPOOL)
CVTSPLPDF not handling EXIF images correctly in JPEG files that are included in CVTSPLPDF

i-effect V1R7M0.025

(*SERVER)
New *DIAG, *MSGID, *REGEX, *SQL features in i-effect Server workflow processing (menu item 40, selection 16). Now it is possible to manage any workflow, according to joblog messages IDs, severety or there content.

(x_soa_x ||)
initial release of module *SOA. Brings SOA enablement to I-EFFECT

(*AS2, *EMAIL, *HTTP, *CRYPT)
On systems with IBM V7R1 OS:
Changed/more restrictive behaviour for SSL connection handling because the default JVM has changed from Sun/Oracle JVM to IBM´s JVM.

i-effect V1R6M0.176

(*BASE, *SERVER)
Symptom: after end of EFFSERVER subsystem with the menu item 42 (ENDEFFSRV) or menu item 86 (ENDEFFSBS *SERVER) and new start with the menu item 41 (STREFFSRV) or menu iten 85 (STREFFSBS *SERVER) *SPOOL/*MONITOR processing dosn´t work in the current job - sign off/sign on requested.
The reason for this error was, the QIBM_NOTIFY_CRTSPLF environment variable was removed from the *JOB and *SYS level (by endeffsrv), but not resetted agein for the current job after restart server (streffsrv). This is fixed in the version V1R6M0.176 and above.

i-effect V1R6M0.173

(*BASE)
STREFFREORG, RMVEFFLNK improvement. Since i-effet version V1R6M0.173 (and above) it is possible to process large count of IFS/DB2 files.

i-effect V1R6M0.172

(*EDIFACT)
When special character ":" is being used in a data group element that is being followed by at least one more empty data group element and another data element, the resulting EDIFACT segment has been generated incorrect.

(*REPORT, *AS2, *EMAIL, *FAX, *OFTP, *HTTP, *CRYPT)
BUGFIX:
Parallel storing of files with same filename into same directory caused one file to override other file´s content.
This error occured due a bug in unique filename generation routine.

(*EMAIL)
BUGFIX/enhancement. Implemented concurrency check in RCVEMAIL:
The concurrent receive of mails from same mailaccount resp. for the same username is no longer possible.
In such cases a RCVEMAIL session is blocked until the other session has finished. This avoids double-processing the same mails.

(*HTTP)
Fixed encoding of URL specified in SNDHTTP command/http communication profile.
The (special) characters in each specific URL part (path, query etc.) are now properly encoded before send according to the recommended rules for URL/URI econding.

(*SPOOL)
CVTSPLCSV not handling *UTF8 conversion correctly. Characters missing in output file.

(*SPOOL)
CVTSPLPDF not handling EXIF images correctly in JPEG files that are included in CVTSPLPDF

(*SERVER)
Symptom: i-effect Server, menu item 40, *SCHEDULE - wrong next start time. Sample: "Valid from" = 07:30, "Valid to" 19:00, "Delay in minutes" = 600 - after 17:30 next start time is 03:30 (instead 07:30) This bug is fixed in V1R6M0.171 (and above) i-effect versions.

i-effect V1R6M0.162

(*BASE)
With the new LODEFFLIC command it is possible to license i-effect modules directly from i-effect license file (LICENSE.DAT) Sample call: ieffect/LODEFFLIC EFFLICFILE(´/tmp/license.dat´)

i-effect V1R6M0.153

(*DBEXPORT)
Windows 7 Compatibility fix Excel files created by DBEXPORT were giving an error when opened under Windows 7.

i-effect V1R6M0.151

(*EMAIL)
New parameter "Assign Partner" in RCVEMAIL command.

Enables or disables the assignment of partner settings for mail receipt.
If disabled, no search for a partner entry will be performed for the sender address of a received mail.
Hence any defined assignments of sender address to partner entry are without effect.
Then for processing only parameters defined in RCVEMAIL command or from *EMAIL module configuration are used.
If assignment is enabled (default) the partner settings , if appropriate configured, will be used for mail receipt.

(*BASE)
Logging of i-effect transactions in the new i-effect table VORGANG. For inbound/outbound files, processed with i-effect all corresponding information (such i-effect session number, filename, modification timestamp, direction and so on. ) will be logged under the same process ID. Use selection 8 to base in the menu item 80 to swith this feature on:
Transactions content control:

i-effect V1R6M0.147

(*BASE, *EDIFACT)
STREDICON *EDIDB2 new prameter "Log errors" . With this feature it is possible to log all semantic errors during conversion.

New LOGERROR parameter in STREDICON command:

Start EDI conversion (STREDICON)

Type choices, press Enter.

Log errors . . . . . . . . . . . *FIRST *FIRST, *ALL

Log errors determines, when a conversion has to end, if semantic errors occur during the conversion process. Fatal error, that avoid further processing, will end the process
anyway.

*FIRST
After the first error occurrence, that leads to the
abortion of the conversion, the process is stopped.
The rest of the data will not be processed.

*ALL
Every occurring error will be logged. The converter
tries to convert all the remaining data. If more
errors occur, they will also be logged. If a single
error occurred during the conversion, the process will
be canceled at the end, regardless of the continued
conversion and logging.

(*BASE, *EDIFACT, *FLATFILE)
new mapping function *SEQBIGINT(SQL sequence object: SQL table name) - allows to process SQL sequence object, defined as big integer.

It could be useful e.g. to generate unique interchange number by *DB2EDI processing.

Mapping sample:

EDI output sample (big number 10000000002 as interchange):

UNA:+.? ´
UNB+UNOB:2+4041XXXXXXXX:14+9900XXXXXX:500+091230:0937+10000000002++VL´
