IBM i2 ibase 8.9.13 Geographic Information System Interfaces comprises interfaces to the following Geographic Information System products. GIS product Esri ArcView 3 3.2.3 Supported versions Esri ArcGIS for Desktop 10.4.1, 10.5.1, 10.6.0 Pitney Bowes MapInfo Professional Note: 12.5 (64-bit is not supported). ibase 8.9.13 includes the optional Coordinate Extensions feature. The feature uses GEOTRANS v2.4, a product of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and US Army Engineering Research and Development Center. Use of GEOTRANS with ibase does not indicate endorsement or approval of ibase by the Secretary of Defense or the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. ibase 8.9.13 includes installers for GIS systems that are no longer supported. For more information about products for which support is not available, see Release notes - IBM i2 ibase 8.9.12. Announcements ibase 8.9.13 supports Microsoft SQL Server 2012, 2014, and 2016 in the Standard, Enterprise, Business Intelligence, and Express Editions. The version of Microsoft SQL Server native client that is compatible with ibase 8.9.13 is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client - QFE, either 32 or 64 bit depending on the operating system that it is installed on. Software withdrawal and support discontinuance: IBM i2 Analyst's Workstation and IBM i2 ibase IntelliShare is confirmed by announcement document number: 918-11, published 10 July 2018. Any future releases will not support deployment that uses Esri ArcView 3. Release highlights The following new and updated features are available in ibase 8.9.13. IBM i2 ibase GIS Interfaces: ibase can now support Esri ArcGIS version 10.6. Analyst's Notebook plug-in: You can select the following update options. Update chart items that contain ibase records with changes that come from the ibase database. Automate an update to chart items that contain ibase records to occur after you log in to the ibase database. Browse performance: The response time is significantly faster response time when you click Browse to display records. An update provides increased security. The following APARS are fixed in this release. 2 IBM i2 ibase Release Notes

The fixes for APARs PO07589 and PO07590 resolve a number of issues. When you use ibase Designer to modify fields on an existing entity or link type, with audit history switched on, you no longer see error messages when you modify fields in the following ways. Select a field type, then change the field type and click OK. Put a period in the field name, select the Mandatory check box, and click OK. The fix for APAR PO07745 corrects the IBM Knowledge Center information about audit levels so that it accurately reflects the actions that get audited in the product. For more information, see the IBM Knowledge Center Controlling What is Audited. Compatible companion products The following versions of companion products work with ibase: IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook 9.0 and 9.1, and IBM i2 Text Chart 8.9. If your current ibase system contains custom ibase plug-ins, these plug-ins might require recompiling to maintain compatibility. System Requirements For more information about hardware and software compatibility, see the detailed system requirements at Software Product Compatibility Reports. Installing ibase For information about installing ibase, see the IBM Knowledge Center Installing IBM i2 ibase. Note: To install ibase, you must have administrator privileges. More configuration information for ibase Geographic Information System Interfaces If you used ibase Geographic Information System Interfaces 2 with ArcView, or ArcGIS, your mapping configuration files are 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 modify the configuration file. 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 extra 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 Microsoft Developer Network CSIDL. Release notes - IBM i2 ibase 8.9.13 3

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. If the example map files are loaded from the CD at the standard location, no other action is required. 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. 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. Extra configuration information for ibase Plate Analysis Information about setting up your installation is available in the IBM Knowledge Center or the ibase Help that is installed with the product. For more information, see 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 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 in the IBM Knowledge Center http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssxvxz_2.2.1/ com.ibm.i2.releasenotes.doc/ibase.html. 4 IBM i2 ibase Release Notes

Updating the chart with merged and restored items Updating the chart with merged and restored items has some limitations. An item that is merged on the chart in Analyst's Notebook but is not merged in ibase, is not restored by a chart update. An item that is merged and then restored in ibase, is correctly restored to the chart by using the chart update. However, if the chart update is rerun a second time, the item has a flag that indicates that it is merged and it is hidden from the chart again. To update the chart successfully, you must manually edit the database record in SQL to clear the flag, and then rerun the chart update. The chart update cannot accurately restore items that are soft-deleted and also merged in ibase. For example, A has links to B and B has links to C. Then, A is merged into B and B is merged into C. When those items are restored in ibase, the chart update cannot accurately restore all the entities and links. So, the update might result in some entities or links that are hidden on the chart. Search 360 Indexing cannot complete if an embedded corrupted 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 corrupted PDF is detected, the indexing is 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 2012. This upgrade might cause compatibility issues if you are upgrading from earlier versions. You can download Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 from the Microsoft website Microsoft Download Center 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. 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. Extra 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 (through 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 window in SQL Management Studio, with the following database role: SQLAgentOperatorRole database role on the msdb database. When you set up access, you can specify the proxy within the Configure Database window. The proxy can then be specified in the Run As field of the Configure Database window. Release notes - IBM i2 ibase 8.9.13 5

Search 360 In language regions other than English, Search 360 has some limitations. 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. However, exact matching works 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 an SQL Server Transaction log back up. After the backup, the Full Text Search index rebuilds. 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 computers 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 computer 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 or report with Microsoft Access databases. You might find the functions useful for importing on servers. Note: You cannot install the 32-bit engine if 64-bit Microsoft Office is installed. 6 IBM i2 ibase Release Notes

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 responds 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 supported only if they are placed in the Custom images location, CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS\i2\i2 Shared\Custom Images\. CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS is the file system directory that is used to physically store a user's common repository of documents. The following path is a typical example. C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents For more information about CSIDL values, see Microsoft Developer Network CSIDL. To add a custom icon, complete the following steps. 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, as shown in the following example. Title filename For more information about custom icon support, see the IBM Knowledge Center or ibase Designer help. Alerting When you run large imports, disable alerting jobs to improve performance. This recommendation applies to large automated imports; which include import specifications, batch import Release notes - IBM i2 ibase 8.9.13 7

specifications, bulk imports, and use of ibase Scheduler. Alerting jobs must be stopped before the import starts, and started again when the import is completed. Alerting must also be unavailable when you back up your database. You can control the scheduling of alerting jobs in the Alerting Configuration window (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 window by clicking Schedule and turning off the Enable check box. Note: Do not click Suspend Alerting, as this action removes your alerting jobs. Moving an ibase 5 repository requires that you upgrade it If you move an ibase 5 repository, open it in ibase 8 Designer to associate the security file with the repository file. This acton requires you to upgrade the repository. Performance with large numbers of Sets and Queries If your repository has several hundred Sets and Queries, the following windows can experience delays in opening: Export wizard Report wizard Batch Edit Batch Delete Export to Excel Browse Field Calculator Assign Icons Duplicate Checker SQL Server Express SQL Server Express Edition does not have a default facility 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 computer 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 computer, contact your supplier for advice. 8 IBM i2 ibase Release Notes

Cyber IP DNS Resolution limitations Automatically updating records The Cyber IP DNS Resolution Configuration Auto-Update provides you with options to set the type of information that is added to records when you enter information about cyber entities. This currently only updates records that are entered manually by using ibase or Analyst's Notebook. Records that are imported or sent from Text Chart must be updated by using the Cyber IP DNS Resolution Bulk Update. Blacklisting When you are using Cyber DNS Resolution, depending on the size of your blacklist, a delay can occur when you first use the spam lookup function. GeoLite City Cyber IP DNS Resolution directly supports only the MaxMind GeoIP City data set. If you would like to use the MaxMind GeoLite City data set, 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 works only with SQL Server databases. All Geographic Information System applications Density Grid and Spatial Query tools 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 fail. Plotting data from multiple databases When you plot to the same mapping application, you might get unexpected results in the following situations. The following results can occur when you plot data from different databases and then use ibase menu commands. - For Show and Add to Set, the wrong database might be presented and consequently no data is displayed or saved in a set. - For Add to Chart and Expand, only data from one database can be displayed on the chart. The following results can occur when you plot data from databases with the same name. - When the databases have the same structures but different data, incorrect information is retrieved for records mapped from a database that is not currently open. Alternatively, the user might be informed that the record is deleted from the database. - When the databases have different structures and data, if an entity or link type with the same three letter identifier does not exist in the open Dataset, the user sees a permissions error message. 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 is informed that the record is deleted. - Running a query to find all entities or links in the vicinity of an entity or link on the map might return records on an unrelated area of the map. Release notes - IBM i2 ibase 8.9.13 9

- Deleting an entity or link by using the Show window deletes 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 10.6 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. MapInfo The main toolbar must be set up as a floating toolbar.
