Multi-word literal in 5.5 Xlate GUI

[Mark Thompson]

Clovertechies,

Is anyone else testing (or running) 5.5?  In our testing we noticed the Xlate GUI doesn’t handle multi-word literals very well.  In 5.4.1 when you entered a literal like

=word1 word2

the GUI saves it as {=word1 word2}.  The 5.5 improved Xlate GUI is really nice, but it doesn’t bracket the literal.  Running the newly created action in 5.5 produces an “Unrecognized field name ‘word2′” error.

Xlate configurations created in 5.4.1 or earlier appear to run fine under 5.5 since they contain the brackets.

This has been reported to Quovadx Support (Case# 31045).

WORKAROUND:  You can add the braces yourself.  Just make sure the first brace goes before the equal sign.  Not sure what will happen with this workaround when Quovadx fixes the problem.

We’re testing 5.5 and have come up against an ftp showstopper.

We wanted to move to 5.5 before daylight savings time, but now we can’t. What a bummer!

Michael,

Are you willing to share the FTP issue? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Thanks,

I don’t want to change the subject of this topic, but…

it’s case #31000.

Issues I have:

1) Outbound thread does not try to connect until a message is present.

I want the connection to be made immediately when I start the thread.

2) Enabling EO config to enable_all is not verbose enough with regard to ftp.

3) When I stop the process as you’ll notice at the bottom of the log, most

of the stuff I complained about in #2 gets spit out into the log.

4) The Outbound directory I have configured in NetConfig is: //maindata/data/ftpprod/cloverleaf/cbord/test/adt_and_orders/

but the CWD command at the bottom of the log indicates it was only trying to CWD into /maindata.

Before making suggestions to me on how to fix this, please run an ftp interface on 5.5 first to see what I am talking about.

Thanks,

The answer to #4 is….

Use windows slashes, not unix slashes.

\maindatadataftpprodcloverleafcbordtestadt_and_orders

not

//maindata/data/ftpprod/cloverleaf/cbord/test/adt_and_orders/

This stinks! Amazing too that it took 2 weeks to figure this out.

After farting around, support suggests I “try” ///main…

That didn’t work so I escaped the first slash to ///main…

Then it complained about not being able to change to

So a lightbulb went off and sure as s*u*g*a*r the thing works with windows slashes.

I’m running an AIX box, so I should be able to use which ever slashes I want to.

Now I have to go find all ftp threads and change them.

5.5 should be backward compatible with 5.4.1
