AMT 79
- For Oracle users: in order to get setting SEQ_AMTPRINTREQUEST correct, sequence SEQ_AMTPRINTREQUEST must be dropped manually from the database before running AMT Reorganize.
| Product | Cat | Subcat | Description | Type | Version | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | 324757 For systems running with an Oracle database, print requests were not caught in chronological order. Some requests could disappear when originating from multiple servers, because assigning request sequence numbers was asynchronous. This has been fixed by setting the ORDER for sequence SEQ_AMTPRINTREQUEST in Oracle in AMT Reorganize to 'true'. Attention: In order to get this setting correct, sequence SEQ_AMTPRINTREQUEST must be dropped manually from the database before running AMT Reorganize. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 321607 Customers could not choose their own splash screen or icon when loading AMT Screens. Commands /ico and /splash have been implemented, which can be added to the .exe. The .exe needs to contain the file path to the selected image. |
NEW | AMT 79 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2010-004 For security reasons, AMT doesn't allow browsers to store the login password anymore, when Forms authentication is used in the AMT Control Center and the AMT Application Center. However, this default setting can be overridden by specifying the following line in the web.config's appSettings section: <add key="autocompletePassword" value="true" />. |
CHANGE | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Web Client | 329511 HSTS Rules have been added to web.config to make websites even more secure when HTTPS is used. These rules have been commented out by default, because the IIS UrlRewrite module has to be installed for HSTS to work. |
CHANGE | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329757 / 328902 If you previewed a prn file, using the Find option didn't bring the search-string into focus anymore. This has been resolved. Also, if you press Enter in the popup to enter the search string, the search is executed immediately. Cancel will close the popup. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | AmtTools | Reo | 329868 / 328263 Creating and enabling triggers in a table took place before any other actions in a table. Creating and enabling triggers now only takes place after all other actions in a table have finished. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Developer | Code Logic | C2011-002 Several issues with logic inside classes were found: Calling a routine containing a 'VAR' parameter was not allowed for class items. Structure size was not correctly calculated for DCT items inside classes. Setto() was not allowed on a class item. Inside a class routine a syntax error was raised on 'if not (methodx())' If a global item like tablequery was used, the generator crashed. These items have been fixed. Furthermore, if there are multiple structures with the same sub-names, these items are renamed from the 2nd set of sub-names down. Also, members can now contain array definitions. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329934 In AMT Screens the onExit of a control event was triggered after the transmit instead of before. OnExit is now forced when focus is shifted, so it precedes other events. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329935 Graphical mode settings were not stored in AMT Screens. The code has been corrected so settings are saved correctly again. |
FIX | AMT 79 | High |
| AMT LION | Runtime | Web Client | 329974 AMT Web Client raised an error that the maximum request length had been exceeded. The default maximum request length of AMT Web Client has been increased to 10 Mb. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329989 The cursor was not changed on text, links or controls during events in AMT Screens. The cursor was overridden when a transaction was done, but it was set to 'Arrow'. Now it is set to Null so the default behavior of the cursor works again. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Low |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Developer | Various | 329903 The AMT Developer and the AMT Generator showed a splash screen but closed straightaway if the Repositories were not up to date, without any error message. In the move to .NET Core, the original error popup was removed and replaced by an event handler that was never implemented. The error message is now shown again. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | AmtTools | Various | C2011-023 The AMT Configuration Manager has been migrated from .NET Framework to .NET Core. |
CHANGE | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT COBOL | Generator | Various | 329996 COBOL generation failed if layout variable names were of mixed case. The AMT Generator has been improved so that mixed case variable names are processed correctly. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 329937 If auto-tab was used in combination with onExit/onEnter events, the focus was incorrectly set to the first control while the transmit was still ongoing. Setting focus is now delayed until the event has finished. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Low |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2011-029 There was a bug in the EXEC CICS READNEXT logic that caused it to skip every other record, so records 1-3-5-7 were read and 2-4-6-8 were skipped. This has now been resolved. |
FIX | AMT 79 | High |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2011-037 If you had a structure in a table and the table-fields were nullable and actually had 'Null' in the database, AMT was unable to update them if the structure was used to change the value. This has been solved, if the structure changes the values in the child fields get updated correctly. |
FIX | AMT 79 | High |
| AMT COBOL | AmtTools | Debugger | C2011-039 Users that had a relatively slow machine could get the following error message when trying to debug a program/report using the AMT Debugger: 'Couldn't find a CoreCLR process'. A retry mechanism has been added for situations in which the AMT Batch Controller tries to attach to the program/report. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2011-043 CPU time of online COBOL programs statistics was not correct, it showed the total time of transactions. CPU time now shows the correct timings. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | AMT COBOL | Runtime | Various | C2011-052 Since .NET Core, COBOL programs and LION reports have been generated as DLLs and not as .exe anymore, therefore the 'run inside batchcontroller' option in the Jobs Queue is obsolete. The 'run inside batchcontroller' option has been removed from the Jobs Queue. |
CHANGE | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | 330024 AMT Screens RTQuery raised an error on SQL command TRUNCATE. AMT Screens has been corrected so that TRUNCATE is now recognized as a valid non-select command. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Low |
| AMT LION | Runtime | AmtScreens | C2011-067 CTRL-HOME and CTRL-END moved the focus to the first or last element of a layer, where a layer is a container element. The behaviour of CTRL-HOME and CTRL-END has been modified so the focus will go to the first or last element of the form, except if the action takes place on a Tab sheet of a Page control, then the focus is moved to the first /last element of the Tab sheet. |
FIX | AMT 79 | Medium |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | Various | 329714 In the AMT Debugger COPY commands did not have a breakpoint possibility, F10 did not stop here as COPY was not considered an instruction. COPY is now regarded as an instruction, so it is now possible to stop COPY commands. |
