iFileAudit Release 8 Problems:

History purge fails for large date range

This PTF fixes a problem with the history purge that caused it to fail when a large number of days was used for the time span to purge.

The fix for this issue is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 8.02 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF803. E-mail support@kisco.com to request the PTF package.


Unintented trigger program registration in Bluescape

Under certain conditions, a trigger program registration could happen on a new file being added using the Bluescape interface. Customers using the Bluescape UI are advised to check for triggers on recently registered files and remove them.

The fix for this issue is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 8.01 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF802. E-mail support@kisco.com to request the PTF package.


iFileAudit Release 7 Problems:

Menu option #4 on the MASTER menu fails with MCH3601

When running the DSPFILAUD command (option #4 on the MASTER menu), the process fails with an MCH3601 error message. This has now been corrected. While waiting for an update, all functions processed by the DSPFILAUD can be accessed using WRKFILAUD (option #1).

The fix for this issue is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 7.05 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF706. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


iFileAudit Release 6 Problems:

There appears to be a discrepancy over the size of information stored by iFileAudit.

When this was reported to us, we found that the Size information being reported on each registered file did not include index size information. We have now added this information to the total Size being shown. In addition, we found the some information was missing from the detail file registration information being shown when using the iFileAudit browser interface.

The fix for these issues is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 6.14 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF615. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


We started the Automatic Analysis but it doesn't look like anything is getting updated.

When a customer reported this to us, we discovered that the user profile issuing the start for the Automatic Analysis was not authorized as an "Admin" in the iFileAudit security feature. To avoid this issue coming up again, we have added a check in both the start and end processes for the Automatic Analysis to make sure that the user is properly enrolled as an "Admin" in iFileAudit.

This update also includes a change to the menus for iFileAudit to include a long format command line.

The fix for these issues is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 6.13 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF614. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


MCH1210 can be issued during Automatic Analysis process.

The following issues have now been addressed:

  1. The Automatic Analysis could fail with the MCH1210 error code under certain circumstances. This has now been corrected.
  2. During export processing, a temporary library named FILTMPnnnn is sometimes left active on the system. This has been corrected so that the temporary library is always deleted when the export process completes.

The fix for these issues is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 6.12 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF613. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


Several issues addressed - see details.

The following issues have now been addressed:

  1. The iFileAudit browser interface signon process has been updated to match the criteria now needed for terminal session users.
  2. The special user profile *ALL can now be specified for a user profile Read Trace filter. This will guarantee that all users of a file will be traced.
  3. The FILANZ command file analysis process was failing when an End Date/Time was specified. This has been fixed.
  4. An engineering change has been implemented to the Read Trace process to signficantly improve system performance on files being traced using this feature. This especially affects batch processing for these files.

The fix for these issues is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 6.11 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF612. E-mail us and request the PTF package.

The batch file registration command seems to be skipping some files.

We found that the batch registration process that uses the CRTIFAREG command was skipping files with the object attribute of PF38. This has now been fixed and these files can be registered using the batch method.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.20 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF520. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


Daily Automatic Analysis start time keeps creeping up.

A customer brought this situation to our attention. They were running the automatic analysis once per day. They initially indicated a start time for 8:00pm. After several days, the start time had moved up to 8:15pm and was getting in the way of other scheduled processing.

We have changed the product to apply the interval time to the start time for the process. It had been calculating the interval based on when the previous analysis process ended.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.19 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF519. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


Not all fields are sometimes being reported on a full record delete.

When this was reported by a customer, we discovered that under certain conditions, not all field content was being reported through iFileAudit on a record delete for a registered file.

This has now been corrected so that all fields with content will be reported in detail on record deletions.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.18 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF518. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


Customer reported two problems, one with MCH1202 error codes and another with LNR7207 errors.

The MCH1202 error was reported in the export feature. The source of this problem has now been identified and corrected.

The LNR7207 error was reported in the iFileAudit purge process. Ignoring the error would result in a completed purge, but we have now corrected the problem so that these messages are no longer issued.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.15 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF516. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


I'm seeing a system error crash when I try to enter an End User profile that does not exist.

The End User Table lets you grant read access to information captured in iFileAudit for registered files. When doing this, the program would fail if a bad user profile was entered. This has now been changed to simply issue a warning messsage and stop the profile add process.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.13 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF514. E-mail us and request the PTF package.

The purge works when I run it for a single file, but it fails when I use the *ALL files option.

We discovered that a recent update to the software caused the purge for all files to fail. It has now been corrected.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.06 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF507. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The export file information process fails when the destination file is to be stored in the QTEMP library.

We found that when a file export was run to a file in the QTEMP library and the export was in *LONG file format, the export would fail. This has now been corrected.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.05 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF506. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The export file information process is failing sometimes.

A customer reported to us that the export file information process was failing at times. After testing, we found that when the export process was run in *LONG format mode and the process was set to append records into an existing export file, then it would fail. This has now been corrected.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.03 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF503. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


Pressing the F8 or F9 key from a new file registration screen causes the program to fail.

We found that customer could select these function keys at the wrong time during the file registration process. To avoid the program failure, we now test for this and issue well behaved error messages that will not cause the program to abnormally end.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.02 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF502. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


When I create a note on an update and the try to cancel to skip the process, a blank note is getting created.

We found that the F3/F12 function keys were not functioning correctly to exit the note authoring process. This has now been fixed. Concurrent with this, we found that in rare situations, a note could get attached to an incorrect field update report. This too has now been corrected.

The fix for these problems is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 5.01 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF501. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


iFileAudit Release 4 Problems:

A NAME="prb408">Fix three minor issues.

We have now fixed three unrelated minor issues with iFileAudit as follows:

  1. When using the CRTIFAREG command to register multiple files in a single run, some default settings were not getting set correctly. This is now fixed.
  2. When running the WWWINSTAL program to install browser interface objects, some customers reported a failure due to a local configuration conflict. We have now fixed this so that it will always install correctly.
  3. Incorrect results could be shown when setting or clearing read trace settings if the file being worked on is in use. We have now fixed this so that an error will be shown if this happens and the registration information will be recorded correctly.

The fix for these problems is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 4.11 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF412. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


When running an initial analysis for a newly registered file, the analysis is failing with CPF0001.

We found that when the default journal process scope was set to *CURRENT and you ran the analysis process for a single file, a CPF0001 would be issued. In the joblog, you will also see a message reporting "*CURRENT must be the only value for parameter RCVRNG". This problem has now been corrected.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 4.10 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF411. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


When doing a read trace on a sequential flat file, no record ID is showing.

... and

I am getting a MCH1202 error during an export process.

When doing read tracing on a sequential file that is defined without any record keys, we found that iFileAudit was leaving the record ID field blank. This has now been fixed so that the relative record number is shown (RRN) to match the way other tracking in iFileAudit identifies such records.

We have fixed the issue with the MCH1202 error during an export function when specifying the *LONG output record format.

Both of these problems have now been fixed.

The fixes for these problems are available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 4.09 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF410. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


I am seeing some differences between the on-line displays and the printed reports.

On three of the five reports we found that the before and after field contents could sometimes appear with wrong field content. The on-line displays were always showing the correct information, but the "Audit Report by Field, Date & Time", "Audit Report by Key, Date & Time" and "Audit Report by Key, Field, Date & Time" were sometimes showing wrong field content. This has now been corrected.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 4.08 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF409. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


Some longer fields appear to be truncated in the analysis process.

We found that under certain circumstances, this could happen. The field information is stored, but not available to the program.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 4.06 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF407. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


I am getting an MCH3601 error during file analysis processing.

... and

I am getting an CPF2981 error during file analysis processing.

For the MCH3601 error code, we found that under certain circumstances, when running the file analysis process for a single file, it could fail with this error code.

For the CPF2981 error code, we found that when you were running the file analysis process for a group file files (or all registered files) and some of those files had layout changes since the last analysis, this error could sometimes come up.

Both of these problems have now been fixed.

The fixes for these problems are available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 4.05 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF406. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The purge process on my system is failing with a CEE9901 error.

We found that under certain circumstances, the purge process could fail with this error. The problem has now been identified and corrected.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 4.04 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF405. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The transaction files in iFileAudit are taking a very large amount of space on my system.

Several customers have contacted us about this problem. We have now re-engineered the transaction storage files so that they now take up less than half the space used by earlier releases of the software.

The fix for this problem is available only via a version upgrade. No PTF is available. Go to our download page and follow the instructions there to download the new version and install it. E-mail us if you have any questions about this process.


iFileAudit Release 3 Problems:

My file analysis processing is taking a very long time.

After implementing the previous round of changes to support the requirements for tracking source physical files (see next entry below), we found that some customers experienced a much longer file analysis time. Since tracking information for source physical files is rarely a requirement for most customers, we made that level of analysis option with a new setting in the IFASET command. The default value will result in much quicker analysis processing for most customers.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 3.07 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF308. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


Some transactions are missing for a source physical file I am tracking.

A customer reported that when they tracked updates to a source physical file, some member operations were not being picked up by iFileAudit. We have not identified why this was happening and have updated the software to include these transactions. Note that we specifically do not recommend iFileAudit for tracking source physical file changes, especially when the source members are maintained using IBM's PDM utility. Please see the FAQ page for more information.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 3.06 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF307. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


Some field updates are not appearing in the history file.

We discovered a problem with the file analysis that could cause certain character fields to not be reported. This problem was introduced with release level 3.05.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 3.05 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF306. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The file analysis process fails with an MCH0603 error.

Based on customer feedback, we discovered two situations that could cause this to happen. Both have now been fixed.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 3.04 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF305. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The file analysis process is creating very large joblogs on my system.

Based on a customer inquiry about this, we have now tweaked the file analysis process to significantly reduce the amount of information being logged in the joblog. This will improve performance and reduce disk storage during analysis processing.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 3.03 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF304. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


A sequential file on my system is showing as having a manually defined key in iFileAudit, but no such key exists.

We found that if you start to create a key structure for a sequential file, but then end up not actually entering any key information, the system was still flagging the file as having a manually defined key. This is now fixed.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 3.02 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF303. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


After setting up the web-enabled interface, my HTTP server instance is failing with an internal server error.

When an HTTP server reports a failure, you will find a detailed joblog for the failure in the output queue named QEZJOBLOG. Checking on this error, you will find that program QZSRCGI is failing with an MCH0802 error on a mismatch on the number of parameters in a program call.

We have traced this problem to an IBM problem. According to the IBM support website, this problem is fixed with a PTF. The specific PTF that you will need from IBM depends on the OS level that you have installed. For systems running V5R4, the PTF is SI35104. For systems running V6R1, the PTF is SI35112. Order the correct PTF from IBM and install it. If the PTF has been superceded, get the most recent PTF available. This should correct this error on these systems.


iFileAudit Release 2 Problems:

The file analysis fails intermittently with CPF9803.

A customer who was running the file analysis almost continually during prime shift reported that every once in a while the process would fail with a CPF9803 error. We have now modified the product to look for this situation and deal with it gracefully without issuing an error message.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.25 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF226. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


When registering and activating a file, I get a CPF0001 error.

A customer reported this problem to us and we identified it as happening when you register a file with the default journal name (*DFTN) and when the filename being registered has a period ('.') as a part of the name. We have now corrected this problem.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.24 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF225. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


We are getting a CPF7055 error when running the FILANZ process for *ALL files in a library.

This can happen when you have a very large number of files being journaled on a common journal. The form of the DSPJRN command being used by iFileAudit up to this point could error out with this problem.

The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.22 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF223. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


We are running low on disk space, can anything be done in iFileAudit to help?

We have heard this from several customers, so we reviewed the specifications within iFileAudit and found one place where we could clear files from their temporary content when the analysis process completes successfully. This will make that disk space available when the analysis process is not in use. For customers with a lot of files or very active files, this disk savings can be helpful.

The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.19 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF220. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The FILANZ analysis command is failing with message CPF2817.

When using the FILANZ command, either from option #3 on the MASTER menu, from the command line or within your own CL program, was failing when the purge option was used. This was due to unrelated system changes introduced in a recent PTF. The problem is now corrected.

The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.18 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF219. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The iFileAudit purge is failing with error message CPF0555.

An error in a date calculation routine was causing this error. It is fixed now with the new PTF.

The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.14 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF215. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


The ANZDTL program is failing with a MCH1202 error code.

We found a problem under certain rare circumstances when this can happen. It only happens on files that have pre-existing journals attached which are set to only capture *AFTER images of the data. On certain types of updates, the IBM OS does not report full record information in this situation, most notably on record delete transactions. Our program had a problem under this situation when a portion of the record key contained a 1 character packed decimal data element. This has now been corrected by the following PTF.

The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.13 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF214. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


When using the CRTIFAREG command to register multiple files at once, I get an error that indicates a wrong journal and journal library combination.

When using this command with the default command parameters for the journal and journal library, an edit routine was incorrect causing an erroneous error message

to be issued. This has now been corrected.

The fix for this prblem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.11 version of iFileAudit. The correction isavailable in PTF package FAPTF212. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


I am getting an MCH0603 error during the file analysis process.

We found a problem in the file analysis process that could cause this when the file being analyzed contained a binary numeric field and the field contents were for a very large number. This has now been corrected.

The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.09 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF210. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


When adding a key structure to a registered file, I sometimes see a message at the top of the screen indicating that a record has been updated by another user.

This message is being issued in error. You can get around it by just replying 'Y' to the message where it asks you if you want to post the update anyway. We have also now fixed this problem with a program update.

The fix for these problems is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.08 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF209. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


When displaying a file analysis, I use option 5 to display the detail, but sometimes the wrong record is displayed.

Also: I ran the RPTFILD2 command to generate a report for all files in a library but ended up with all registered files.

The display file analysis detail screen was mixing field information from different records in the database. The database was correct and this PTF fixes the display program so that the detail screen information is now always correct. The other problem fixed here makes sure that the library parameter is enforced on the RPTFILD2 command when *ALL files have been selected.

The fix for these problems is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 2.07 version of iFileAudit. The correction is available in PTF package FAPTF208. E-mail us and request the PTF package.


I am getting an MCH0603 in program ANZDTL when running the analysis process.

Also: When I use option 7 on the "Work With Registered Files" display, I get an error.

The first of these two problems was only happening on files with very complex and long file key structures. An incorrect update in the last PTF issued, PTF FAPTF206, introduced the second problem. If you received this version of the software, you should also have received a warning and a patch. This PTF permanently fixes the problem.
