ACR/Summary 4.6 Release Notes

ACR/Summary 4.6 enhancements include:

Store the Extracted Date in an Extraction Variable

ACR/Summary Access Mode 1 allows the storage of the extracted field in an extraction variable if it is a count/amount/text field. The modification permits you to store the date field in the extraction variable.

Retrieve History from Infogix Assure®

The History Item is enhanced to retrieve history from Infogix Assure®. Infogix Assure provides a web service for history retrieval. The User Options File has a new tab to store the Infogix Assure connection specific information. The Infogix Assure option in the History Items panel enables you to retrieve history from Infogix Assure. When this option is selected, new panels that are specific to Infogix Assure history retrieval are displayed.

This feature is not applicable for File Control Balancing.

Generate History Items for a Range of Relative Cycles

This is a new functionality to specify the history retrieval for a range of relative cycles. A new field called “Generate Thru” is added to the History Items panel. This field is a three-digit number (-998 to +000) that identifies the highest relative cycle within the range you wish to generate the history. When Generate Thru cycle is specified, a set of consecutive history items are generated. One history item is generated for each relative cycle that falls within the range.

This feature is not applicable for File Control Balancing.

Generate Standard Rules for a Range Comparison of History Items

Range comparison is a new feature in the Standard Rule. It enables you to create multiple rules quickly without entering their information individually. Range comparison is allowed in the RHS of a comparison equation, and works with history items only.

For example: E-xxx: E-yyy

When range comparison is specified in the RHS, a set of consecutive rules are generated. One rule is generated for each history item specified in the range. Range comparison is not applicable for File Control Balancing.

Pass Alternate Job IDs to Infogix Insight®

In the User Options File, a new Pass Alternate Job ID field allows you to specify the Alternate Job ID instead of the Base Job ID that should be passed to Infogix Insight®.

Extended Literal

The literal field length has been revised to allow 80-byte alpha literals and 30-byte numeric literals. The extension eliminates the need to create multiple definitions to create an 80-byte literal.

Add Time Elements

The Add Time Elements feature supports time data extraction. The extracted time data is converted to centiseconds before it is stored in an internal or an extended internal item.

“Date & Time” item is allowed in the LHS and RHS of a Calculated Item and Balancing Rule. Date & Time item is a combination of a date item and a time item.

Print PROCLIB/JCLLIB Name at the beginning of a ACRJCL40 JCL Conversion Report

The ACRJCL40 JCL Conversion Report has been modified to print the name of the PROCLIB/JCLLIB at the beginning of the ACR/Detail and ACR/Summary reports. This feature is mainly helpful when the product upgrade involves different PROCLIBs/JCLLIBs. The name at the beginning of the report indicates the PROCs that are part of a specific PROCLIB/JCLLIB.
