Warehouse Release 3.02.5770

2008/06/12

The features in the 3.02.5770 release are:

.. Created the following new data types to support Eloquence on Intel based platforms (Linux, Windows):

IMAGE_ E2 Same as IMAGE E2 with little-endian storage

IMAGE_ E4 Same as IMAGE E4 with little-endian storage

IMAGE_ I1 Same as IMAGE I1 with little-endian storage

IMAGE_ I2 Same as IMAGE I2 with little-endian storage

IMAGE_ I4 Same as IMAGE I4 with little-endian storage

IMAGE_ K1 Same as IMAGE K1 with little-endian storage

IMAGE_ K2 Same as IMAGE K2 with little-endian storage

These synonyms are also defined:

Type Actual Type

IMAGE_ J1 IMAGE I1

IMAGE_ J2 IMAGE I2

IMAGE_ J4 IMAGE I4

IMAGE_ R2 IMAGE E2

IMAGE_ R4 IMAGE E4

IMAGE_ Pn IMAGE Pn

IMAGE_ Un IMAGE Un

IMAGE_ Xn IMAGE Xn

IMAGE_ Zn IMAGE Zn

The following types exist as IMAGE types, but not as IMAGE_ types:

IMAGE R2 IMAGE R2 is a synonym for IMAGE E2

IMAGE R4 IMAGE R2 is a synonym for IMAGE E2

IMAGE I3 Eloquence does not support this type

IMAGE I5 Eloquence does not support this type

IMAGE I6 Eloquence does not support this type

IMAGE I7 Eloquence does not support this type

IMAGE I8 Eloquence does not support this type

. For IMAGE databases, added DATA=IMAGE|IMAGE_ option to the OPEN statement that overrides the default data types.

The DATA=IMAGE option accesses all datasets with IMAGE data types, which are big-endian (forward byte order).

The DATA=IMAGE_ option accesses all datasets with IMAGE_ data types, which are little-endian (reverse byte order).

If DATA= is not specified, IMAGE is default on MPE/iX TurboIMAGE databases and HP-UX Eloquence databases. IMAGE_ is default on Windows Eloquence databases and Linux Eloquence databases. Open example for a Windows Eloquence database:

OPEN eloqdb IMAGE ELOQDB DATA=IMAGE

. A new SET option LABELS has been added to report column labels on DB2/400 systems.

This option is typically accessed only through DataBridger Studio. The syntax is:

SET <db2-db-tag> LABELS { OFF | ON | EBCDIC }

OFF Causes Warehouse not to retrieve column labels.

ON Causes Warehouse to retrieve column labels for

each table and report it back to DataBridger

Studio.

EBCDIC Retrieves labels and translates them to ASCII

from EBCDIC.

Release 3.02.5770 is available now on all supported platforms.
