ClearPath OS 2200 Series Release 13.2 Software Planning and ...

5.12. DPS
ClearPath OS 2200 Release 13.1
DPS Level 6R5A
Compatibility
DPS
When using a version of DPS 6R5A, users must generate new CONNECTER working
storage/message format for every DPS screen previously generated and used with DPS
6R5, and import the resulting COBOL structures into their ePortal Developer projects
using the import wizard. Otherwise, a mismatch with the message/record format results
in the DPS run-time system generating errors on transaction input, or ePortal receiving
unrecognizable data on transaction output.
CONNECTOR working storage/message format for DPS 6R5A now contains data fields
for DPS screen number, DPS screen name, DPS form library filename, CONNECTOR
working storage version number (1), and selected DPS screen control information.
ClearPath OS 2200 Release 13.0
DPS Level 6R5
Compatibility
For DPS Level 6R5, when you define or use a field for use with ePortal/TIP Connector
terminal type, only the A, C, I, L, N, O, X, and S minor field types are supported. The B,
D, and R minor field types are restricted. Using B, D, and R minor field types in your DPS
form for use with ePortal/TIP Connector yields unpredictable results.
For DPS Level 6R5, the messages transmitted between ePortal and the TIP/DPS
transactions have an additional 8-character field preceding the entire message. This field
contains the DPS screen name, which is used by ePortal as the discriminator field.
Transactions or Initial Control Programs (ICPs) which may intercept the transaction input
message prior to being processed by the DPS run-time system must be cognizant of the
new field.
5.13. Distributed Data Processing File and Job
Transfer (DDP-FJT)
General Considerations
• You must install DDP-PPC before you build or execute DDP-FJT.
• You must install I18NLIB to execute DDP-FJT. This is necessary because DDP-FJT
uses ELMS, which, in turn, requires I18NLIB.
• The Print Driver and Print Manager components of DDP-FJT are no longer supported
because PERCON has been discontinued.
• DDP-FJT background runs error on a system running Fundamental Security
(SENTRY=0).
• DDP-FJT requires that IRU be installed with mode FSAH or ALTFSAH.
