  • IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 21, Number 15

    April 15, 2019 Doug Bidwell

    And the PTFs just keep on rolling. . . . This week, there are patches in the HTTP Server Group for IBM i 7.2 and IBM i 7.3. There is also a new Database Group for IBM i 7.2.

    And, as is common with most production operating systems these days, especially those that have a lot of components derived from open source software where things get discovered and patched out in the open where everyone can see and with a rapidity that operating systems of days gone by did not have to deal with, there is a continual stream of security vulnerabilities that affect the IBM i stack. This week, there was a security bulletin released for vulnerability CVE-2019-3880, which relates to the Samba Windows Server block storage emulation system that is embedded in IBM i. The IBM i PTF numbers for the patches for this Samba vulnerability are:

    • Release 7.2 – SI69591
    • Release 7.3 – SI69592

    Check this link for further details.

    New (well, updated) Links this week: System ECUREP – which is short for Enhanced Customer Data Repository

    And now the weekly tip: WRKACTJOB, Prompt with F4, then F9, change the automatic refresh interval to 10 seconds.

    The Guide at a glance: New defectives this week (4/13/19). Here is the defective PTF rundown, which is the last defective for each release:

    T.L. Ashford writes software to generate Barcode Labels and Forms for the IBM i.

    Our software products are the most feature-rich, cost-effective solutions available!

    TLAForms converts traditional IBM i spool files into high quality, professional forms that are output as PDF documents. A form is associated with a spool file and the form is designed. TLAForms then ‘watches’ the IBM i output queue for a new spool file to be generated. When a new spool file is generated, TLAForms reads the data from the spool file, places the data on the form, and outputs a PDF document. The PDF documents can be archived to the IFS, automatically emailed, and printed.

    Features:

    • Select Data directly from an IBM i Spool File
    • Burst IBM i Spool Files based on page or Spool File data
    • Add spool file data to form as Text using a wide variety of fonts and colors (the MICR font for printing checks is included in the software)
    • Add spool file data to form as bar code – including 2-dimensional bar codes PDF-417 and QRCode
    • Configure SQL statements to retrieve and use IBM i File data on forms
    • Utilize Actions to show or hide objects on the form based on data within the spool file
    • Import Color Graphics
    • Use Color Overlays
    • Create Tables
    • Forms can be archived to the IFS
    • Forms can be emailed automatically
    • Forms can be printed to any IBM i, Network or Windows printer
    • Forms are automatically generated when a new spool file is generated in the IBM i output queue
    • NO PROGRAMMING required
    • On-Line Video Training Library
