CA MICS Q&R Administration

Q&R Distributed Server Administration has been enhanced with new features:

• A new Job Status window was added to provide visibility of jobs that started by the Q&R Distributed Server. Job status retention defaults to 60 days and can be changed on the Q&R Distributed Server Configuration panel.
• Logs of active Q&R Mainframe Servers can be viewed either from the Active Q&R Mainframe Servers window or through the Menu Bar option View/Mainframe Server Logs. This feature allows Q&R administrators who do not have direct mainframe access view the mainframe server log directly from Q&R Distributed Server Administration.
• Utility log options Append/Overwrite and Append Timestamp have been removed. The utilities now always process using overwrite and append timestamp options. When Multi-run jobs are exported, instructions are generated to overwrite on the first run and append subsequent logs (just like 12.8). With Q&R 12.9, the base log file is overwritten on every run. Thus you can click the Log button to return the log generated by the most recent run. In addition, a time stamped version of the log is always created. To access the time-stamped version of this log or to view the results of prior executions, click the file folder icon in the log file section of the utility panel.
• Utility jobs that are exported to a batch file are now timestamped correctly in US and non-US windows environments.
• Q&R Publish Output to Q&R Web Reporting User Interface panel has been updated to:
  • Allow Remove Output (RMWSPare) jobs to invoke automatically after RMWSLoad completes.
  • Reverse the order of height and width on the image properties tab. The screen now displays dimensions in the expected order (Width x Height).
• Administration Utilities (RMWSLoad, RMWSPare, MQRMeta)
  • Q&R Publish Output to Q&R Web Reporting Utility (RMWSLoad), Q&R Build/Refresh Meta Database (MQRMeta) and Q&R Remove Output (RMWSPare) now provide more return code processing to provide return codes that more accurately reflects the severity of errors that are encountered during processing. The return code is printed in the log and displayed in the Q&R Distributed Server Administration Utilities completion window. This feature is also available for exit code processing in batch.
