IOF Release 7E

Introduction

Release 7E is year 2000 compliant, and has no known problems running with the system clock set before or after the turn of the century. Release 7D is also year 2000 compliant, and has many hours of successful developer and customer testing. Release 7E is built from the proven 7D code with all available maintenance applied. Should any Y2K problems be discovered, they will receive top priority for resolution.

The current release 7D of IOF will continue to be supported. You can continue to run release 7D if you are not experiencing problems, and if you do not need the support for running Workload Manager in goal mode.

Several panels change when operating in goal mode. New workload manager fields are displayed and new commands can be entered. The table below shows many of the new fields and commands by panel.

Except for 7D corrective maintenance, no other access control changes were made to the new release. The 7D version of the B23ALLOW option and other access control options can be used without modification for 7E. This should make conversion from 7D to 7E quick and easy.
