Fixes in Fix Pack 1

Fix Pack 1 addresses the following problems:
  • Import Classic Reference wizard issues "Host file not found error." Remote files can not be imported.
  • DDL wizard does not always list all the correct objects (table, view, index, etc) for DDL generation.
  • CA-IDMS™ wizard stuck on first page. User can not proceed.
  • IMS™ DBD parsing incorrectly interprets the "*" in EXIT=(*.. statement as a comment.
  • When editing a table with a DECIMAL column, "Error" displays in the column and the Error Log shows "Exception: Cannot format given Object as a Number".
  • Field procedure information was missing for IMS™, CA-IDMS™, CA-Datacom™ and Adabas™ tables in the Data Source Explorer and therefore was also missing from DDL generated from the affected tables.
  • In the Data Source Explorer, a connection to a DB2 z/OS database incorrectly was interpretted as a Classic Integration data source.
      ACTION REQUIRED: You must delete the incorrect DB2 connection from the Data Source Explorer to clear Eclipse's cache and re-add it in order to pick up this fix. Note: DB2 z/OS V9 and V10 are not currently supported.

Known problems and work arounds

  • The DDL wizard loops when user tries to execute the DDL on the server.
      WORKAROUND: Save the DDL to a script file and then open the script file and run the DDL from there.
