Cloverleaf 6.0 .idx and .msg file format changed??

[Troy Morton]

We are running Cloverleaf 6.0, AIX 6.1, IBM Power Server LPAR

We are starting testing for our upgrade to Cloverleaf 6.0 and it appears that the format of the .idx and .msg files have changed?  Is this true or do we just have something set up incorrectly?  The .idx files no longer have CR (hex 0D) after each line and .msg files now appear to have the thread name imbedded between messages instead of a CRLF (Hex 0D0A).  

I read both the release notes and the installation guide for Cloverleaf 6.0 and I don’t remember seeing anything that mentioned a change to eh format of the SMAT files.

A lot of tools an utilities have been created to read and analyze SMAT files.  If the format of the SMAT files changes, it will take a lot of rework to change all the existing tools and utility scripts that have been written.

We have alreay opened a support ticket with Infor but I wanted to also post here to see if anyone else had noticed this.

Examples:

Code:

Cloverleaf 5.6 .idx file:

{
       {MID {{DOMAIN 0} {HUB 0} {NUM 242354981}}}
       {SRCMID {{DOMAIN 0} {HUB 0} {NUM 242354945}}}
       {TYPE DATA}
       {SOURCECONN tda8do__i}
       {ORIGSOURCECONN tda8do__i}
       {DESTCONN {tdrxdo__o}}
       {ORIGDESTCONN {tdrxdo__o}}
       {TIME 1357940356}
       {PRIORITY 5120}
       {DATAFMT {}}
       {SAVECONTEXT outbound}
       {OFFSET 0}
       {LENGTH 2108}
}
{
       {MID {{DOMAIN 0} {HUB 0} {NUM 242365172}}}
       {SRCMID {{DOMAIN 0} {HUB 0} {NUM 242365154}}}
       {TYPE DATA}
       {SOURCECONN tda8do__i}
       {ORIGSOURCECONN tda8do__i}

       {PRIORITY 5120}
       {DATAFMT {}}
       {SAVECONTEXT outbound}
       {OFFSET 2108}
       {LENGTH 1877}
}

I think the format changed in version 5.8. You can use “hcismatconvert” to convert to the old format. The new format is in the documentation under “Home : Testing and Maintenance : SMAT : Saved Message Format”.

Thanks so much, David.  Appreciate your help!

Troy,

This is a bit off-topic, but what version of Windows are you using for your client?  The release notes say XP sp3 or Win7 enterprise SP1 x64.  Do you know whether Win 7 enterprise x86 works for the 6.0 client?

Thanks
