V6.1.4 New Features and Enhancements<br />

V6.1.4 New Features and Enhancements<br />

The following enhancements are included in TrustedLink 6.1.4:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

“Audit Enhancement”<br />

“Archive Enhancement”<br />

“Scripted FTP Enhancements”<br />

Audit Enhancement<br />

TrustedLink iSeries users are being asked by their auditors to institute change control<br />

processes and provide audit information from the TrustedLink application. TrustedLink<br />

already provides limited change control features and can also provide some transaction audit<br />

information, but additional audit functionality has been requested.<br />

The 6.1.4 release provides the foundation for tracking information about additions,<br />

modifications, and deletions of certain functions that can affect the movement and translation<br />

of data within TrustedLink.<br />

Audit information for the following items is included in this release:<br />

■ Translation Formats<br />

■ User File Definitions<br />

■ Trading Partner Relationships<br />

■ Partner Address Book<br />

■ Envelope Mapping<br />

A new audit menu provides the following options:<br />

■ Ability to configure whether audit information will be captured.<br />

■ Ability to view a report of the audit log entries.<br />

Archive Enhancement<br />

New archive functionality was provided in TrustedLink 6.1.2 and 6.1.3. The new archive has<br />

different file structures that are incompatible with the archive files provided in older versions<br />

of the product. In TrustedLink 6.1.4, a new tool is being introduced which allows you to<br />

convert your old archive files to the new archive file structures, and save the converted files<br />

offline. Subsequently, you can restore the converted archive data to the Archive Center. This<br />

functionality has been tested with 6.1.2 archive files but should also work with older<br />

versions of the archive files.<br />

Scripted FTP Enhancements<br />

We continue our support of the Scripted FTP offering with the following enhancements:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

Allow more control over the removal of “carriage return” and “line feed” either<br />

separately or together within an inbound file.<br />

Provide Trading Partner Relationship level script variables for outbound<br />

partnerships. These variables could be used for functions such as doing a change<br />

directory or building a directory structure on a PUT command based on the<br />

document being sent.<br />

Note: With this enhancement, it may not be necessary to create as many copies<br />

of the Scripted FTP network module as before.<br />

Add support for “SYSCMD REN” similar to the support for “! REN”.<br />

V6.1.3 New Features and Enhancements<br />

V6.1.3 New Features and Enhancements<br />

The following enhancements are included in TrustedLink 6.1.3:<br />

■ “Archive Improvements” on page 5<br />

■ “Capacity Expansion Option Enhancements” on page 6<br />

■ “User File Definition Setup Changes” on page 6<br />

■ “New Delete Inactive Trading Partner Relationships—DLTNETTPR Command” on page 6<br />

■ “Miscellaneous Enhancements” on page 7<br />

■ “New Inovis’ Branding” on page 7<br />

■ “Advanced Documentation Search Using PDF Master Indexes” on page 7<br />

Archive Improvements<br />

The archive enhancement in version 6.1.2 provided you with the ability to configure an<br />

online archive library to contain new archive history data generated during the TrustedLink<br />

purge process. In addition, the enhancement provided the ability to work with purged<br />

transaction data in the new online archive.<br />

In version 6.1.3 we further enhanced the new archive system by providing offline archiving,<br />

automatic purging of the online archive, the ability to restore archive data from the offline<br />

archive to the online archive, and additional user interfaces for working with archive<br />

configurations and online and offline archive data.<br />

To summarize, the archive now supports the ability to:<br />

■ Archive data to online and/or offline storage<br />

■ Search for an archived document stored either offline or online<br />

■ Restore document details from offline to online archive<br />

Specifically, you can:<br />

■ Archive purged transaction and communication session information and data to<br />

offline storage<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

Search and view archived communication session information and data<br />

Manually and automatically delete online archive information and data<br />

Restore archive information and data from offline storage to the online archive.<br />

With this enhanced archiving functionality, it should no longer be necessary to retain as<br />

many transactions in the TrustedLink data library.<br />

Note: The new archive does not support reprocessing or retranslating archived data.<br />

Important:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

If you are upgrading TrustedLink and specified an old archive library in the prior<br />

release, then you must configure the online archive option. Additionally, if you<br />

specified a device in the old archive configuration, you must configure the offline<br />

archive options. You will not be able to run a purge until you configure the online<br />

or offline archive options.<br />

The old archive functionality is no longer supported. We recommend that if you<br />

have your purge process automated calling the UEDPRGMB API or PRGMBX<br />

V6.1.3 New Features and Enhancements<br />

command that you update your program to call the UEDPRGTC API or PRGTC<br />

command. Refer to the TrustedLink Application Program Interface Guide for complete<br />

information.<br />

Capacity Expansion Option Enhancements<br />

TrustedLink iSeries is a robust transformation product capable of processing large volumes of<br />

data. However, some very high volume TrustedLink users have run into several limits when<br />

processing large amounts of data. These limits are in three general categories:<br />

1 Maximum number of transactions (e.g. EDI documents) retained in the Transaction<br />

Center.<br />

2 Maximum amount of data that can be processed by a single translation job.<br />

3 Maximum number of objects that IBM allows in a single library on an iSeries.<br />

The following Capacity Expansion enhancements are now available and can be used if you<br />

choose:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

The maximum number of Transaction Center entries can be increased from<br />

9,999,999 to 99,999,999. Refer to the impact of expanding the Mailbox ID in the<br />

TrustedLink System Administrator Guide.<br />

The number of translation message space objects can be reduced so that the total<br />

number of objects in the TrustedLink data library will be less likely to reach the<br />

iSeries limit of about 360,000. Refer to message log retention in the TrustedLink System<br />

Administrator Guide.<br />

A new expanded files Internal Storage Method can significantly cut the number of<br />

objects created during translation. Refer to the internal storage method section in<br />

the TrustedLink Document Setup Guide.<br />

Note: This new storage method does not have any record length or record ID<br />

restrictions.<br />

Over twenty five times as much data can be accessed or created as user file or<br />

translated data.<br />

User File Definition Setup Changes<br />

With the addition of the Capacity Expansion Option functionality, changes were also made to<br />

the user file definition configuration to accommodate the new expansion features. The<br />

functional name Optimization Method is now Internal Storage Method and the Method names have<br />

been modified.<br />

Additionally, the User File Definition documentation has been completely enhanced and<br />

modified. We recommend that you review this chapter in the TrustedLink Document Setup Guide.<br />

New Delete Inactive Trading Partner Relationships—DLTNETTPR Command<br />

The Delete Inactive Trading Partner Relationships—DLTNETTPR command deletes all inactive<br />

Trading Partner Relationships for a specified network, direction, and organization. It is<br />

intended to cleanup obsolete Trading Partner Relationships after using the CPYNETTPR and<br />

CHGNETSTS commands.<br />

There is also a new RPTNETTPR command, that can be run before the delete function. This<br />

report lists the Trading Partner Relationships that are eligible for deletion based on the<br />

criteria specified in the command parameters.<br />

6 Release Notes


V6.1.3 New Features and Enhancements<br />

Miscellaneous Enhancements<br />

Add JDE User File Field Description—ADDJDEDSC Command<br />

You can use the Add JDE User File Field Description—ADDJDEDSC command to repopulate<br />

the JDE field description values for a record format within a user file definition. This<br />

command has been modified to pull field descriptions from either your OneWorld or<br />

EnterpriseOne (Unicode or non-Unicode) DB2 database file, F9203.<br />

Decimal Notation Control Character Selection<br />

You can now choose the decimal notation for outbound XML Trading Partner Relationships.<br />

You can retain the default value, ‘.’ period or change the value to a comma ‘,’ from the dropdown<br />

list.<br />

Prohibiting Concurrent Sessions for IP Exchange<br />

The IP Exchange (IX) communications module has been enhanced to prevent multiple<br />

concurrent sessions for the same copy of the network module.<br />

-99999 and Hex 55 Support<br />

If your application files were built to support -99999 to send a zero value, or a special hex<br />

value to send a blank, TrustedLink can now be configured to recognize these special values in<br />

new translation formats that you create in Version 6.1.3. This allows you to maintain<br />

compatibility with your old Version 2 interface files.<br />

Note: We recommend that you use the keywords and to handle these<br />

conversions.<br />

Transaction Center Deleted Mail Column Heading Change<br />

When viewing deleted mail entries in the Transaction Center, the Sts column heading is<br />

changed to Last Sts. This reflects the last status of the Transaction Center entry before it was<br />

deleted. After a purge is run, the Last Sts value becomes the Pre-purge Status in the Archive<br />

Center if you choose on-line archiving.<br />

New Inovis’ Branding<br />

The TrustedLink JWalk Graphical User Interface has been updated to incorporate the latest<br />

Inovis’ graphics and colors.<br />

Advanced Documentation Search Using PDF Master Indexes<br />

We have enhanced the search capabilities within the documentation allowing you to search<br />

across the entire documentation set using a PDF index (or "master index"). An Adobe PDF<br />

index is a specially created file that spans multiple Adobe PDF files and is available through<br />

Search in Acrobat.<br />

Searching an index is much faster than searching all the text in the individual documents. An<br />

index search produces a results list with links to the occurrences in the entire documentation<br />

set, grouped by the book. It is highly recommended that you choose the Match Whole Word Only<br />

option when searching indexes to significantly reduce the time taken to return results.<br />

To search an Adobe PDF index file, Acrobat must be opened as a standalone application, not<br />

within your Web browser. Selecting the Master Index option from the documentation main<br />

menu automatically opens Acrobat as a standalone application in a new window. We<br />

recommend that you apply the latest Acrobat Reader version which is provided on the<br />

documentation CD or download the latest free Adobe Reader from the Adobe website. You<br />

must have Adobe Reader Version 6.x or later to use the master index search options.<br />

To use the Advanced Documentation Search function, see “Using the Documentation CD” off the<br />

Getting Started menu in the documentation.<br />

Release Notes 7


V6.1.3 Change List<br />

In addition to the search function, you can navigate the documentation using the link<br />

function. These links are created within the documentation as cross-references to related<br />

material. Simply click the blue text and you automatically jump to the page indicated.<br />

Note: If you are using Windows XP with Service Pack 2, we recommend changing an<br />

Internet setting to enhance the navigation features of your browser. Refer to Changing the Active<br />

Content Security Setting in “Using the Documentation CD” off the Getting Started.<br />

Also, there is a known navigation issue if you are using Adobe Reader 7.05. If you select a<br />

link from one of the drop down menu options off the main menu you are taken to page one<br />

of the PDF instead of the exact page for the menu option. This issue is being worked on with<br />

Adobe and we hope to have this resolved in a future release.<br />

8 Release Notes


V6.1.3 File Changes<br />

V6.1.3 File Changes<br />

Database files that have changed since 6.1.2 are:<br />

■ EDMAST ■ EDMAFAPF<br />

Important: If you have written programs that access EDMAST, you will probably need to<br />

recompile these programs after the 6.1.3 update. Additionally, if you are using any third<br />

party application that may be accessing TrustedLink files, contact your vendor.<br />

Database changes can occur at any time during the development of TrustedLink iSeries.<br />

TrustedLink files are designed to be accessed using the provided APIs or commands. If you do<br />

have programs accessing any of the TrustedLink files, please inform us of your needs so we<br />

can potentially create APIs to access the files. By letting us create these programs, we can<br />

ensure a smooth transition from one release to the next and not introduce potential risks in<br />

your production environments.<br />

Additionally, there have been many new APIs created in the past few releases. We encourage<br />

you to review the TrustedLink Application Program Interface Guide and see what is available.<br />

V6.1.2 New Features and Enhancements<br />

The following enhancements are included in TrustedLink 6.1.2:<br />

■ “Logical File Definition Unicode Graphic Field Conversion Support” on page 9<br />

■ “Trading Partner Relationship Hot Key to Transaction Center Subset” on page 10<br />

■ “Date Increment/Decrement” on page 10<br />

Logical File Definition Unicode Graphic Field Conversion Support<br />

This TrustedLink enhancement provides more integrated support for application (user) files<br />

defined with Unicode graphic fields. It will assist customers who are using EnterpriseOne or<br />

other application databases that use Unicode graphic fields.<br />

The Logical File Definition Builder has been modified to create logical files that handle the<br />

necessary conversion of graphic field data to single byte data. This provides an easier solution<br />

Release Notes 9


V6.1.2 New Features and Enhancements<br />

for you than manually creating logical files to perform the code conversions. The 1024 byte<br />

record length restriction within the Logical File Definition Builder has also been removed<br />

since the translator can now accommodate longer record lengths by selecting the<br />

Optimization Method Performance.<br />

For complete information, refer to creating logical file definitions in the TrustedLink Document<br />

Setup Guide.<br />

Trading Partner Relationship Hot Key to Transaction Center Subset<br />

You are currently prevented from changing certain Trading Partner Relationship values when<br />

transactions exist in the Transaction Center for the Trading Partner Relationship. This<br />

enhancement provides a link from Trading Partner Maintenance to a subset of the Transaction<br />

Center entries for the specific Trading Partner Relationship being maintained.<br />

If the transactions are no longer needed you have the option to delete them and then change<br />

the Trading Partner Relationship. If the transactions still need to be processed, then you<br />

should not delete the entries and the ability to change the Trading Partner Relationship will<br />

be blocked as in prior releases.<br />

For complete information, refer to viewing Transaction Center entries for a trading partner in<br />

the TrustedLink Document Setup Guide.<br />

Date Increment/Decrement<br />

You can now specify increment and decrement operations in the Visual Mapper when using<br />

date fields, date elements and date work fields. This adds the ability to manipulate dates by a<br />

number of days. The resulting value will be the correct and valid date in the date format of<br />

the field or element to which the data is mapped.<br />

Additionally, work fields may now be explicitly assigned date format codes where in prior<br />

releases of TL iSeries the date format code of a work field was implicitly assigned based on<br />

the mapping. This capability simplifies the conversion from one date format to another<br />

format when using work fields.<br />

For complete information, refer to date increment or decrement calculations in the TrustedLink<br />

Document Setup Guide.<br />

Move/Copy Map Instructions<br />

This enhancement in the Visual Mapper allows a map instruction to be moved or copied<br />

across condition boundaries in addition to the existing functionality in the Show Mapping<br />

Window for moving map instructions up or down.<br />

The enhancements are:<br />

■ Copy and Paste options on the map instruction popup menu that allow copying and<br />

pasting of map instructions.<br />

■<br />

■<br />

Paste option on the segment and condition popup menus that allows the pasting of a<br />

copied map instruction.<br />

Status bar on the bottom of the Show Mapping window that displays the description of the<br />

last copied map instruction.<br />

For complete information, refer to move/copy map instructions in the TrustedLink Document<br />

Setup Guide.<br />

10 Release Notes


V6.1.2 New Features and Enhancements<br />

Additional Mapper Edits<br />

With this enhancement, when the user changes the data type of a UFD field, work field, EDI<br />

element, XML element, or XML attribute, and mapping exists for the item that would no<br />

longer be valid based on the new item type, the user is asked if they want to remove the<br />

invalid mapping. If they elect to do so, the mapping is removed and the data type of the item<br />

is changed. Otherwise, the data type is left unchanged and no mapping is removed.<br />

Communications Session Expand/Collapse Sub-Sessions<br />

A new command key enables you to expand or collapse sub-sessions when viewing the<br />

Communications Session Status display. This enhancement improves the usability of the<br />

Communications Session Status display when using networks that utilize sub-sessions.<br />

The collapsed mode displays the overall status of the communications sessions and hide the<br />

details of each of the sub-sessions. The expanded mode also includes the status for each subsession.<br />

For complete information, see expand/collapse communication sessions in the TrustedLink Data<br />

Communications Guide.<br />

Communications Script Enhancements for FTP and TIP<br />

You can now copy, display and print scripts for the following networks:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

Scripted FTP (SF)<br />

IBM FTP (IF)<br />

TIP-Connect/400 (TP)<br />

and copies of these networks<br />

Note: Scripts can only be copied within the same network or across networks that are based<br />

on the same parent network.<br />

For complete information, refer to copying a communication script in the TrustedLink Network<br />

Setup Guidel. This is a new chapter that consolidates all instructions for maintaining<br />

communication scripts.<br />

Share Transaction Center Subsets<br />

You can now specify whether or not a Transaction Center Subset can be shared with other<br />

users.<br />

For complete information, refer to subsets in the Transaction Center in the TrustedLink Data<br />

Communications Guide.<br />

Sub-Session Control Number Exceptions<br />

This enhancement standardizes the recognition, reporting and processing of control number<br />

exceptions for inbound sub-sessions. For control number checking purposes, all sub-sessions<br />

for an inbound communications session are treated as if they are a single session.<br />

Obsolete Data Purge and Archive<br />

Beginning with TrustedLink Version 6.1.2, we are introducing a new Archive Center. This<br />

first phase provides the ability to archive online and to search, view and print archived<br />

purged transactions.<br />

In a subsequent release, the second phase of the Archive Center will add the ability to archive<br />

offline, and to restore back into the online archive. The archive function that existed before<br />

Version 6.1.2 will be removed.<br />

Release Notes 11


V6.1.2 New Features and Enhancements<br />

We recommend that you begin using the new functionality immediately so the documents<br />

you purge and archive online now will be accessible in the second phase of the Archive<br />

Center. Data purged with the “Old Archive Options” will not be compatible with the new<br />

Archive Center options.<br />

Note: Until the second phase of the Archive Center, to move online archive data to offline<br />

storage will require a process outside of TrustedLink.<br />

For complete information, refer to purging data and Archive Center in the TrustedLink System<br />

Administrator Guide.<br />

Trading Partner Relationship Mass Load<br />

This function allows you to create Trading Partner Relationships by adding records to a file<br />

and calling a command. This is intended to be used for a onetime mass load of EDI trading<br />

partner relationships. Trading Partner Relationships added with this command may still need<br />

some modifications to be done via the Trading Partner Relationship maintenance option.<br />

For complete information, refer to the load trading partner relationship command (LODTPR)<br />

in the TrustedLink Application Program Interface Guide.<br />

Capacity Expansion Module<br />

This new optional module enables TrustedLink to operate in a higher volume environment. It<br />

includes options to increase the maximum number of entries in the Transaction Center, and<br />

to control the number of objects in the TrustedLink data library.<br />

Mailbox ID<br />

With this feature you are allowed to have 99,999,999 mailbox entries, instead of the<br />

previous limit of 9,999,999. The expanded mailbox ID is one digit longer than the standard<br />

mailbox ID.<br />

Note: The mailbox ID field remains 10 characters long.<br />

Message Log Space<br />

This option allows you to greatly reduce the number of objects kept in the TrustedLink data<br />

library by controlling the retention of message log user spaces. The message log user spaces<br />

are used to provide data for the generation of the Translation Error Report during the<br />

translation process and for the display of translation messages within the Transaction Center.<br />

You can indicate that the message spaces should always be retained, should only be retained if<br />

there are severe errors, or should always be deleted after the Translation Error Report is<br />

created. If retained, the message log spaces are still deleted when the associated mailbox<br />

entries are purged.<br />

For complete information, refer to implementing the Capacity Expansion Module found<br />

under Optional Modules on the documentation CD.<br />

Transaction Center Conversion<br />

Behind the scenes, the Transaction Center was converted from UIM to Display Files to<br />

support accessing high volumes of transactions.<br />

Compile Error Report<br />

A new Compile Error Report is now produced if a fatal error is encountered during the<br />

compile of a translation format or user file definition. Previously, the compile error<br />

information was only available in the Joblog.<br />

20 Release Notes


V6.1.0 New Features and Enhancements<br />

Additional Sort Options in Trading Partner Maintenance Lists<br />

TrustedLink is enhanced to sort by the trading partner relationship description in the trading<br />

partner relationship display. A name sort was added to the address book display.<br />

Inbound Syntax Checking—Translation Error Handling<br />

TrustedLink is enhanced to check for additional inbound translation errors including errors<br />

based on Syntax Notes. You can activate this feature by using the Additional Syntax Checks<br />

option through the visual mapper.<br />

Additional syntax checks can be applied to any inbound translation format regardless of the<br />

standard of the format. Additional syntax checks include:<br />

■ Segment and element requirements ■ Element data type<br />

■ Element maximum length ■ Syntax Notes<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

Syntax Notes define the logical relationships between elements and sub-elements in a<br />

given segment. TrustedLink currently supports ANSI X12 and UCS Syntax Notes from<br />

version 3030 and later.<br />

Before version 6.1.0, some basic syntax checking was performed during inbound<br />

translation. In version 6.1.0, this same basic syntax checking is still performed in<br />

conjunction with the newly provided additional syntax checking. You can select the level<br />

of syntax checking as described below:<br />

ALL—additional checks performed on all segments and elements whether or not they are<br />

selected.<br />

Selected segments only—additional checks performed only on selected segments.<br />

None—checking as it was prior to version 6.1.0 with no additional syntax checking<br />

performed.<br />

Additional Detail Generated for 997 Acknowledgements<br />

This enhancement only applies to ANSI X12 functional acknowledgements (997).<br />

Automatically generated CONTRL and 999 acknowledgements are unchanged.<br />

TrustedLink can generate additional segments in the outbound 997 functional<br />

acknowledgments. This occurs when the segment/element level acknowledgement is<br />

selected in the trading partner relationship and additional inbound syntax checking is<br />

specified in the receive translation format.<br />

TrustedLink supports the following levels of auto-generated 997 acknowledgements:<br />

■ Group—previously known as Summary.<br />

The AK1 and AK9 acknowledgement segments are generated based on documents<br />

included in the received group envelope.<br />

■<br />

Transaction Set—previously known as Detailed.<br />

The AK2 and AK5 acknowledgement segments are generated based on the documents<br />

received. This level includes the AK1 and AK9 segments.<br />

■ Segment/Element—new level in auto-generated 997.<br />

The segments created in the functional acknowledgement based on the level of syntax<br />

checking performed against the segments and elements defined in the map.<br />

This level includes the AK1, AK2, AK5 and AK9 segments.<br />

Release Notes 21


V6.1.0 New Features and Enhancements<br />

The AK3 and AK4 acknowledgment segments are also generated based on the segments<br />

and elements received in the transaction set. The AK3 and AK4 segment creation is<br />

dependant on the selection of additional syntax checking within the translation format.<br />

Your trading partner configuration maintains your current acknowledgment settings based<br />

on the new terminology defined above. If you previously selected summary, it now shows<br />

group as the selection. If you previously selected detailed, it will now show transaction set.<br />

Manually Flag Sent Mail as Acknowledged<br />

This enhancement allows you to change the functional acknowledgement status of sent mail<br />

from waiting (WTG) to receive (RCV) in the Transaction Center. This may be performed on a<br />

outbound Transaction Center entry with a WTG functional acknowledgement status.<br />

You can still use the mailbox entry update functional acknowledgement status (ACKMBXE) command to<br />

perform this function.<br />

Report Routing via SMTP<br />

You can send any TrustedLink report and print outs using the SMTP server on your iSeries.<br />

Anything that prints can be routed as an e-mail attachment using Report Routing; for<br />

example, error reports, communications session reports, mailbox prints.<br />

Note: Before you can route reports to an e-mail address, you must active the report function.<br />

Refer to activating e-mail report routing in the TrustedLink Data Communications Guide.<br />
