Runtime for ClearPath OS 2200 Software Release Announcement

Release Functionality
Developer Security Enhancements
At Logon, Change Identifier can be empty
For sites using virtual station addresses that are user-defined, the Change Identifier and
Patch Number on the logon screen, that used to be automatically filled by previously used
fields, can now be deliberately left empty when logging in.
Password Modification on Expiry
A System option that can be dynamically enabled/disabled for network connections to the
Remote Access Server, this feature determines whether the system should force users
to change their password when it expires.
Reporting Enhancements
Automatic Report Batch Generate after System Generate
You can initiate a Report Batch Generate automatically when a System Generate has
completed. Unattended generates are now more streamlined as the user does not need
to wait until the end of a System Generate in order to initiate the Report Batch Generate.
For large Systems this is a considerable improvement as you can make all the generate
option selections up front, and generate both the System and Reports in the one process.
ROC Performance Improvement
Performance and functionality of the ROC (Report Output Control) system on OS 2200
platforms has been enhanced. The new implementation reduces competing for access to
the ROC database. Other enchancements include:
• Unique record keys for Reports are kept in memory.
• Report output is automatically deleted from the ROC database after printing.
• A new HEADR profile shows the expiration date of the Report.
Stage Reports during Generates
The system no longer has to be generated and installed before Reports can be generated.
This release allows a Generate without Install” for Reports, and means that Reports that
access a changing database structure can be generated and run successfully. It means
developers now have the option to generate reports without copying report executables
into the production files, and to stage the installation of generated reports so that they
can generate their system and reports without impacting their online system.
