Welcome to CA Repository for z/OS r7.2. This document contains known issues, and information about contacting Technical Support.
Note: You can find any updates to this readme and to the documentation set on SupportConnect at http://ca.com/support under the brand CA.
The following sections describe known issues for CA Repository for z/OS r7.2.
The following are the known issues for CA Repository for z/OS Webstation Option:
When installing a new application with WebSphere Application Server, the default value for Precompile JavaServer Pages files - JDK Source Level is 13 (JDK 1.3). This value must be modified to 15 (JDK 1.5) when installing the .ear files for WSO.
Follow the installation steps specified in the CA Repository Webstation Option Administration Guide – Chapter 4: Webstation Option Installation on IBM WebSphere Application Server. As you navigate through the options and parameters, you will be prompted to provide the options to compile JSPs. Set the value for JDK Source Level to 15.
The CA Repository for z/OS Webstation Option Model contains views that reference columns defined in the UDB Model. You must first install the UDB Model if you are installing the Webstation Option Model, otherwise, the CREATE VIEW statement will fail during the Webstation Option Model installation.
The following are the known limitations of CA Repository for z/OS Webstation Option r7.2:
Users are not able to log in if the DB2 JDBC Type-2 driver is not installed.
Find the element <name>jdbc.drivername</name> and in the following tag <value>COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver</value>, replace 'COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver' with the driver which is installed.
For example, if you have the Type-4 Driver installed replace the value with <value>com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver</value>
To update the changes made to the WSOServerProperties.xml file, you must restart either the application or the application server, as needed.
You may receive the following error while logging into the WSO Admin Console:
Error Code: -99999
Error Message: com.ibm.db2.jcc.b.SqlException: Failure in loading T2 native library db2jcct2
The issue is related to the specified connection string in the WSOServerproperties.xml file.
Currently, we are specifying the connection string "jdbc:db2:database_name". However, we are using Type 4 DB2 driver, for example, db2jcc without DB2 client.Therefore, the connection string specified in the WSOServerproperties.xml file should follow the following format:
"jdbc:db2://system_name:port_number/database_name"
Example
Change the following tag in WSOServerProperties.xml
<property>
<name>jdbc.url</name>
<value>jdbc:db2:database_name</value>
<required>yes</required>
</property>
to
<property>
<name>jdbc.url</name>
<value>jdbc:db2://system_name:port_number/database_name</value>
<required>yes</required>
</property>
Save your changes to the WSOServerProperties.xml file.
To update the changes, you must restart either the application or the application server, as needed.
By setting the parameter shiftButtonToLeft to "Yes", the following command buttons will be left justified in the related window. The default value is "No".
| WSO Tab/Windows affected | Command Button affected |
|---|---|
| Finder | FIND, FILTER |
| Categories | FIND |
| Repository | VIEW TYPES |
| Repository Dialog | SHOW ATTRIBUTES |
| Subordinate Search results | PROCESS, ACTIONS |
By setting the parameter Show Graphical View Link in IE to "No", users will not have the option to view Impact Analysis in a graphical format. Users will only be able to view Impact Analysis in the Dependency Browser. The default value is "No".
There is extra white space on static pages in the WSO Admin Console when using a very high resolution, such as, 1680x1050.
If you change the context root of the 'castylesr5.1.3', the images do not appear for both the WSO and WSO Admin Console applications. Also, you cannot log in to the WSO application, as clicking on the links does not return a response.
When installing the 'castylesr5.1.3' application, do not change the default context root name for this application.
You may receive the following errors while logging into the WSO Admin Console:
Error Message: com.ibm.db2.jcc.b.SqlException: Invalid Cursor Name
Error Message: java.lang.NullPointerException
The following are the three workarounds:
When using Firefox 3.0 or earlier, "Text Processing" comes up with Search Objects instead of Text Processing option when action drop down is first selected. We recommend using Firefox 3.5 or later.
The stack size and the heap size on your Java Virtual Machine need to be increased. For example, entering the value -Xss2m in the General JVM Arguments variable will set the stack size to 2MB.
The option to display Impact Analysis in a graphical format (SVG diagram) is only available when the root object contains less than 750 instances. After the graphical diagram is returned, further drill down cannot be expanded by selecting a related object in the diagram. Impact analysis for any related objects must be initiated by selecting that object in the Dependency Browser.
When processing approvals, the "Show Details" page refreshes as it should when clicking "Next" or "Previous". However, the approval table on the main page will also be refreshed.
When using Firefox 3.0 or earlier, "Text Processing" comes up with Search Objects instead of the Text Processing option when action drop down is first selected. We recommend using Firefox 3.5 or later.
CA Repository for z/OS 7.2 currently supports IBM XML Toolkit V1.9.
If you wish to refresh the contents of the tab you are currently in, you can either use the breadcrumbs or go to another tab before returning to the current tab.
In the "Repository" tab, wildcard characters may be used for searching repository objects. The underscore character (_) is a single character wildcard and the percent character (%) is a multiple character wildcard. If you specify a search value that contains % or _, the search will treat these characters as wildcards instead of literals.
In the "Repository" tab, you are able search for, and view the properties of repository object type instances. Selecting multiple view types for processing may result in these properties not being shown properly. To view the properties of a repository object type, select only one view type before clicking on "Show Attributes".
The following are known limitations of Quick DB2 and Quick Table:
A sample database object names exclude file, ExcludeFile.txt, is provided in the CA Repository Exchange for Oracle installation directory.
Any documentation referencing the CCP$JCL library should be changed to reference the CCPSJCL library.
The opening sentence in the Mainframe section under Operating System Support of the Release Notes is incorrect. Reference to CA Repository for z/OS r7 should be CA Repository for z/OS r7.2.
