Release notes - IBM i2 ibase

6 Installing ibase For information about installing ibase, see the IBM Knowledge center knowledgecenter/ssxvxz/com.ibm.i2.eia.install.doc/installing_ibase.html Note: To install ibase, you must have administrator privileges. Additional configuration information for ibase Geographic Information System Interfaces If you used ibase Geographic Information System Interfaces 2 with MapInfo, ArcView, or ArcGIS, your mapping configuration files will be copied to the new Mapping folder when you install ibase GIS Interfaces 8.9. You might need to modify the configuration file that specifies the background maps and other mapping session features. Note: You must have the ibase database role Database Administrator to perform the operation. The user "SYSADMIN" in each default security file has this role. 1. To initialize, open the database in ibase (not in ibase Designer) and select Tools > Initialize Database for Mapping. The necessary additional entries are made to the database to store the mapping configuration information. 2. To configure an interface, select Format > Mapping > Configurations > New. ibase Geographic Information System Interfaces installs a default mapping application configuration file as one of i2_default.apr, i2_default.mxd, or i2_default.wor, and then copies it to i2.apr, i2.mxd, or i2.wor. If you need to make any changes, then make them to i2.apr(for example) and not to i2_default.apr. The configuration files that are used by the application are stored in CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA \i2\i2 ibase 8\<language>\Mapping. For more information about CSIDL values, see: bb762494%28v=vs.85%29.aspx ArcView The default project file i2_default.apr expects the standard sample data to be located in a standard ESRI data location and uses an environment variable to locate it. You do not normally need to take any action if the example map files are loaded at the standard location from the CD. If they are located elsewhere, use the information in the ibase help to revise the i2.apr file. ArcGIS Existing users that are upgrading to ArcGIS 10 need to update the version 9 configuration files by using either i2_default_10.mxd or i2_meters_10.mxd as a template. The files must be updated with any changes that they made to the configuration files for earlier releases of ibase Geographic Information System Interfaces. Then, save the configuration file as i2.mxd. Note: The default configuration file, i2_default_10.mxd handles data in any units. The configuration file i2_meters_10.mxd uses meters to handle data. MapInfo To allow MapInfo users who log on as ordinary users rather than as Administrators to plot data, you must give them write access to the file i2.wor. The default workspace file, i2_default.wor, expects the data to be in degrees. The product also includes i2_meters.wor. You need to copy the file to i2.wor to use it with data in meters. 4 IBM i2 ibase Release Notes

7 You must start MapInfo once for each user of the PC before you use ibase GIS Interfaces because MapInfo initializes only user-specific information. User-specific information includes the custom symbols location the first time a user uses the product. If you do not follow these steps and then use the ibase GIS Interfaces, you see an error that the application is not responding. MapInfo will then initialize and future operation of the ibase GIS Interfaces work normally. Additional configuration information for ibase Plate Analysis Information about setting up your installation is available in the ibase help which is installed with the product. See the topic called: Configuring ibase Plate Analysis. If you are using Plate Analysis with ibase Database Replication, then you need to complete these additional steps: 1. Configure Plate Analysis at the Publisher as described in the Configuring ibase Plate Analysis. 2. At each Subscriber, configure Plate Analysis: On the Configure page of the Plate Analysis Task Manager, click Optimize. Virtualization support ibase is supported on hardware virtualization environments that run any of the operating systems that are listed in the detailed system requirements. When you run in a virtual environment, any issues that can be replicated by IBM in a supported operating system are addressed by using the standard IBM support policy. Known problems The most up-to-date source for known problems in ibase is the HTML version of these release notes at Issues creating fields in ibase Designer When editing existing item types in ibase Designer, it is possible to modify field types in such a way that the SQL Server database is left in a non-synchronized state. This occurs when field types are being removed and modified in the same operation. (PO07589 and PO07590) Search 360 Indexing cannot complete if an embedded corrupt PDF is detected When documents are attached to ibase items that contain embedded PDFs, the contents of those PDFs are not routinely indexed, however the ifilters do scan embedded documents. As a part of this scanning, if a corrupt PDF is detected, the indexing will be stopped. To prevent this issue, and to add the contents of PDFs to the index, attach documents directly to the ibase item and do not embed them. (PO07619) Updated Microsoft Report Viewer requirement for viewing audit information The version of Microsoft Report Viewer that is required to view the auditing information for code lists was upgraded to Microsoft Report Viewer This may cause compatibility issues if you are upgrading from earlier versions. You can download Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 from the Microsoft website: Database Explorer display might be affected by changing display scaling options Changing the display options to something other than 100% might cause black lines to appear in the Database Explorer window. When you set the display scaling back to 100%, the display returns to normal. Release notes - IBM i2 ibase

8 SCC codes and Case Control SCC control codes and Case Control cannot contain quotations. Mixed language settings Mixed language settings between Analyst's Notebook and ibase are not supported. Additional languages that are supported by IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook are not supported when IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook is used with ibase>. User permissions to run the Search 360 Indexer To run the Search 360 Indexer, you must have permission to run the CmdExec subsystem. To be able to run the CmdExec subsystem, you must either be an administrator with permission, or you must use a proxy account that references a user (via a credential) with suitable permissions. You can use the proxy account in SQL Management Studio. You need to be granted access to this Proxy for SQL Login. You can set up access within the Principals tab of the Proxy dialog in SQL Management Studio, with the following database role: "SQLAgentOperatorRole" database role on the msdb database. Setting up access allows you to specify the proxy within the Configure Database dialog. The proxy can then be specified in the Run As field of the Configure Database dialog. Search 360 There are some limitations on how Search 360 performs in non-english language regions. Western European Script - Exact and spelled-like matching produces successful results. Sounds-like matching returns less useful results; however, the degree of matching must be evaluated by the user to determine whether these results are usable. Central and Eastern European Script - Exact and spelled-like matching produces successful results. Sounds-like matching is unsupported in these language groups. Arabic Script - Exact matching produces successful results. Spelled-like matching returns less useful results; however, the degree of matching must be evaluated by the user to determine whether these results are usable. Sounds-like matching is unsupported for these language groups. East Asian Scripts - Exact matching produces mixed results. The indexing process that is employed by Search 360 is heavily reliant on word boundaries (for example a space). As these scripts do not reflect the same word boundaries as western scripting, the exact matching gives weak or no results. Exact matching works, however, in whole character sequences, for example the equivalent to English sentences. Full text search After an ibase repository is converted to Unicode, ibase users might see the following error message when they try to rebuild the Full Text Search index: File 'sysft_i2catalog' cannot be reused until after the next BACKUP LOG operation. To solve this problem, run a SQL Server Transaction log back up. After you perform the backup, the Full Text Search index rebuilds. 6 IBM i2 ibase Release Notes

9 Indexing unrecognized document types If a document submitted for indexing is of a type that the indexer does not recognize the index is completed but the unrecognized document is skipped. Microsoft Office 64-bit compatibility issues If you are using Microsoft Office, Microsoft recommends that you use 32-bit Office on 64-bit machines for compatibility reasons with other products. If you install 64-bit Microsoft Office, the following actions are prohibited: Import from Microsoft Excel workbooks or Microsoft Access databases Report to Microsoft Access databases However, the following actions are possible: Export to Microsoft Excel workbooks Report to Microsoft Word documents On a 64-bit machine without Microsoft Office installed, you can install the 32-bit Microsoft Access Database engine. Installing the 32-bit Microsoft Access Database engine can help you import from Microsoft Excel workbooks and import/report with Microsoft Access databases. You might find the functionality useful for importing on servers. Note: You cannot install the 32-bit engine if 64-bit Microsoft Office is installed. Citrix dialog captions (11665) When you run ibase on Citrix, some dialog captions appear with white boxes or spurious characters between the characters in the title. If you are using tabbed mode in ibase, only the first character is displayed in the tab title. To fix the problem, set the following registry setting to 1 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\i2\iBase\8\SystemSettings\CitrixCaption Note: The captions do not appear in bold as for other dialogs, and do not include the spurious characters. Focus when you run ibase on Citrix in Seamless Mode (11218) When you run ibase on Citrix in Seamless Mode, message boxes are displayed by some dialogs upset the focus. ibase cannot regain focus properly and does not respond to mouse clicks or the keyboard within dialogs until you click the main title bar. To fix the problem, set the following registry setting to 1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\i2\iBase\8\SystemSettings\CitrixMessageBox ibase will respond to a mouse click within the dialog after the message box is closed. Note: You can use the fix with only Citrix in Seamless mode. In other environment settings, the registry entry might result in ibase losing focus when the message box is closed, and another application comes to the front. Custom Icon support Custom icons are now only supported if they are placed in the Custom images location: CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS\i2\i2 Shared\Custom Images\ Where: Release notes - IBM i2 ibase

10 CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS is the file system directory that is used to physically store a user's common repository of documents. A typical path is: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents. For more information about CSIDL values, see: bb762494(v=vs.85).aspx To add a custom icon: 1. Copy your image file to the Custom images folder, adding copies to both: CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS\i2\i2 Shared\Custom Images\Screen\Icons CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS\i2\i2 Shared\Custom Images\Printer\Icons 2. Update the configuration file in use, with a new line, that includes the icon name a tabseparator and the file name. For example: Title filename. For more information about custom icon support, see the ibase Designer help. Alerting When performing large imports, alerting jobs should be disabled to improve performance. This includes large automated imports including: import specifications, batch import specifications, bulk imports, and use of ibase Scheduler. Alerting jobs should be stopped before the import starts, and started again once the import has completed. Alerting should also be disabled when backing up your database. You can control the scheduling of alerting jobs in the Alerting Configuration dialog (in ibase Designer). More advanced scheduling options are available in SQL Server Management Studio. You can also manually disable alerting jobs in the Alerting Configuration dialog by clicking Schedule and turning off the Enable check box. Warning: Do not click Suspend Alerting, as this will remove your alerting jobs. Moving an ibase 5 repository requires that you upgrade it If you move an ibase 5 repository, you will need to open it in ibase 8 Designer in order to associate the security file with the repository file. This action will require you to upgrade the repository. Dialog Performance with large numbers of Sets and Queries If your repository has several hundred Sets and Queries, the following dialogs can experience delays in opening: Export Wizard Report Wizard Batch Edit Batch Delete Export to Excel Browse Field Calculator 8 IBM i2 ibase Release Notes

11 Assign Icons Duplicate Checker SQL Server Express There is no default facility in SQL Server Express edition to manage the scheduling of alerting or Search 360. If you would like to use alerting or Search 360, contact your support representative for more information. Unicode support In the Report Wizard, the Standard Report format does not support Unicode characters. If you would like to view reports that contain unicode characters, you can select the Rich Text Format option. Bulk Import with blank records The Bulk Import does not import data from files that contain blank rows. To import the data present in these files, delete the blank rows before you resubmit the file. PDF documents cannot be indexed by ibase in the presence of Adobe Reader X or later. Due to a limitation with Microsoft Desktop Search, the Adobe PDF ifilter shell extension is not currently included with Adobe Reader X or later. ibase Search 360 uses this ifilter to extract the contents of PDF documents that are stored in the database so that they can be searched. So in the presence of Adobe Reader X or later, PDF documents are not searchable in ibase. Do not upgrade to Adobe Reader X or later on the machine that is used to index your ibase database because it results in any existing Adobe PDF ifilters being uninstalled. If Adobe Reader X or later is already installed on that machine, contact your supplier for advice. Cyber IP DNS Resolution limitations Automatically updating records The Cyber IP DNS Resolution Configuration Auto-Update options allow you to set the type of information that will be added to records when entering information about cyber entities. This currently only updates records that have been entered manually using ibase or Analyst's Notebook. Records that have been imported, sent from Text Chart, or entered using ibase IntelliShare should be updated using the Cyber IP DNS Resolution Bulk Update. Blacklisting When using Cyber DNS Resolution, depending on the size of your blacklist, there may be a delay when first using the spam lookup function. GeoLite City Cyber IP DNS Resolution only supports the MaxMind GeoIP City data set directly. If you would like to use the MaxMind GeoLite City data set, you will need to rename GeoLiteCity.dat to GeoIPCity.dat in the place you manage your MaxMind data. Plate Analysis limitations Case Control Plate Analysis cannot be used with case-enabled ibase databases. SQL Server Databases Plate Analysis will only work with SQL Server databases. All Geographic Information System applications Density Grid and Spatial Query tools Release notes - IBM i2 ibase

12 The Density Grid and Spatial Query tools are sensitive to the current map units. That is, if the data is sent to the map in decimal degrees but the map is in meters then both of these tools will fail. Plotting data from multiple databases When plotting to the same mapping application, you may get unexpected results in the following situations: When you plot data from different databases and then use ibase menu commands: - For Show and Add to Set the wrong database may be presented and consequently no data displayed or saved in a set. - For Add to Chart and Expand, only data from one database can be displayed on the chart. When you plot data from databases with the same name: - When the databases have the same structures but different data, incorrect information will be retrieved for records mapped from a database that is not currently open. Alternatively, the user may be informed that the record has been deleted from the database. - When the databases have different structures and data, the user will see a permissions error message if an entity or link type with the same three letter identifier does not exist in the open database. If the three letter record identifier does exist then a record for the incorrect entity or link type may be displayed. Alternatively, if there is no record with that record number, the user may be informed that the record has been deleted. - Running a query to find all entities or links in the vicinity of an entity or link on the map may return records on an unrelated area of the map. - Deleting an entity or link via the Show dialog will delete it from the currently open database, which may not be the same database from which it was mapped. - To prevent this unexpected behavior only map from ibase databases with unique names. ArcGIS Interface Blank menu Following an upgrade from ibase 5, users of the ibase ArcGIS Interfaces might find a blank menu that is labeled ibase 5. The options that were available under this menu are now found within the file menu, and the menu can be removed by updating the i2.mxd file. ArcGIS 10.2 to 10.4 If the ArcGIS application is not already open when you send items to be plotted on a map from ibase, the items might not be visible. Therefore, ensure ArcGIS is already open before you send items from ibase. blue 8 xd blue 8 xd does not support the Select on Map command if you make multiple selections. MapInfo The main toolbar must be set up as a floating toolbar. Microsoft MapPoint Microsoft MapPoint 2009 restricts the range of symbols and colors available. For example, regardless of the symbol you select in the configuration file, all symbols are plotted as pins. Red, green, and blue are plotted as expected, black is plotted as blue, and all other colors are plotted as red. This restriction was removed in Microsoft MapPoint All versions of Microsoft MapPoint: Microsoft MapPoint has European and US Editions; if you have both installed, data is sent to the most recently opened version. 10 IBM i2 ibase Release Notes

13 When you send data to Microsoft MapPoint, the Adding Labels dialog indicates that you can press the Esc key to cancel the process. The Esc key does not cancel the process.
