    About Release Notes:

    These release notes are intended to document what has been added, changed and fixed in Valence Framework 5.1 since the last 5.0 release and provide general information about the Valence Framework.

    Licensing:

    By obtaining and using the Valence Framework, it is your responsibility to ensure that you and your company are following the proper licensing terms of the product. Be sure to review the licensing options on the Valence Editions and Pricing page and also review the Licensing and Support FAQs page before downloading and using the Valence Framework.

    Installing This Release:
    • Go to the downloads page to see what releases are available. If this release is superseded by another release it may no longer be available.
    • If this release is available for download then click the link to the download installation file. Be sure to download the correct version of the installer for your PC operating system and for your IBM i OS (V6R1 or V7R1+).
    • It is highly recommend that you perform the installation from a PC or Mac that is on the same internal network as your IBM i. Performing the installation through a slow WAN connection or via a VPN connection may work but can take many hours to install.
    • The download is a zip file. To launch the installer extract the zip file and double click on the ValenceInstall.exe file on your Windows PC, or launch the ValenceInstall.app file on your Mac. Follow the prompts to install Valence Framework 5.1 onto your IBM i. Note that you may need administrative rights on your PC or Mac to launch the installer.
    • It is highly recommended that you use QSECOFR to perform the installation to avoid permissions issues.
    • This release will install to library VALENCE51 and ifs path /valence-5.1. It will also install an Apache server instance named VALENCE51.
    • If you have Valence Framework versions 5.0 and prior installed on your system you may install this release without affecting those earlier versions.
    • Once installed you can access the Valence Portal with the link http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7051 where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your IBM i. Port 7051 is the default installation port for Valence Framework 5.1. You can use Advanced Settings to change the port number at installation time.
    • The default user for administrative login to the portal after installation is vvadmin with password vvadmin. However you may also log in with any valid IBM i profile.
    • If using the vvadmin profile, it is highly recommended that you go into the Portal Admin app in the Valence Portal and add an IBM i user cross reference to vvadmin with security officer authority (like QSECOFR) so you will not have permissions issues.

    Changed in Valence 5.1.20180512.0:
    • Valence Portal for Android: Updated to support the latest version of Valence Portal app available on Google Play which now supports Android Oreo and greater.

    • Portal: Fixed problem with temporary password functionality not working properly when using the "Valence" login method (works fine for "IBM i" method)
    • Portal: Adjusted so use of backspace key does not present portal launchpad to user when app launched via URL with &portal=false
    • Portal: Adjusted mechanism VVLOGIN uses to derive host system info. This may speed up login page rendering on some systems.

    • A compatible browser on client computers. CNX recommends Google Chrome for the best development and user experience on the desktop, and iSafari or other integrated browsers on mobile devices. This version of Valence should work in newer versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer as well as WebKit-based mobile device browsers like those on iPhone, iPad and Android.
    Uninstalling Valence Framework 5.1:

    Follow these instructions if you previously installed this release and would like to completely remove it from your system:
    • Log onto a 5250 session as QSECOFR or another profile with security officer authority.
    • End the VALENCE51 Apache server instance with command "ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(VALENCE51)".
    • Before continuing, be certain there are no users and/or developers with a lock on the VALENCE51 library with command "WRKOBJLCK OBJ(VALENCE51) OBJTYPE(*LIB)". If there are any jobs listed, cancel them or ask the users/developers to exit.
    • Delete the VALENCE51 library with command "DLTLIB LIB(VALENCE51)".
    • Delete the IFS folder named /valence-5.1 and all subfolders and files. The easiest way to do this is to start with command "WRKLNK /" then use option 2 against the root folder, then option 9 (recursive delete) against the /valence-5.1 folder.
    • Delete the VALENCE51 Apache server instance by navigating with your browser to http://

                      Valence Framework 5.1.20171006.0 is now available. Changes in this build since the previous release are:
                      • Nitro Query App Builder: Ensure "autoload" setting is always observed on grid apps
                      • Nitro Query App Builder: On back-end RPG processing of button calls, corrected MSGW condition that could occur when a global filter is applied to grid
                      • Nitro Query App Builder: Adjusted available columns in widget maintenance to match the order specified in the underlying data source
                      • Nitro Query App Builder: Corrected issue that could cause optional parms from other app records to "bleed" into newly created app records
                      • Nitro Query App Builder: Ensure spreadsheets downloaded from remote DB-based queries pull data from appropriate remote server
                      • Nitro Query App Builder: Adjusted to prohibit creating edit grids over remote data sources. JDBC does not support updating records by RRN.
                      • Nitro Query App Builder: Corrected edit grid issue where numeric fields that are cleared out by user triggers an SQL error (no value assigned)
                      • Nitro Query App Builder: Corrected scrolling problem on edit grids -- was jumping back to page 1 after editing a record on page 2+
                      • Nitro AutoCode: Removed library from file prompt, as files are always assumed to be in the current environment library list
                      • Nitro iAdmin: Added wildcard support to message ignores (so CPF10* would ignore any error beginning with "CPF10")
                      • Desktop Portal: Corrected problem where exit program for login process was not overriding library list or passing session info
                      • Remote DB: Corrected issue where some numeric fields would show as character on remote JDE files
                      • VVMIGRATE: Ensure max open apps for mobile/touch (VVAPPS/VVMAXOPNT) is migrated from older instance when it exists
                      • Nitro Query App Builder - Data Source SQL parser: Added support for WITH compound statements and fetch first row only/fetch first X rows only on those compound statements
                      • RPG Toolkit - VVOUT: on _execSQLtoJSON, truncate data and terminate routine when response size reaches 16MB (instead of going MSGW). Exception messages are logged into Errors app when this occurs.
                      • RPG Toolkit - VVUTILITY: on _getLiteral, defer to English literal when desired non-English literal does not exist
                      • RPG Toolkit - VVUTILITY: on _getFieldDefs, added automatic storage of file/field definitions into VVOBJDEF to improve performance (will use data in file rather than re-calling API when applicable)
                      • RPG Toolkit - VVUTILITY: added optional 4th parm to _saveSessVar to control behavior when session variable already exists (A=Abort; R=Replace)
                      • IBM i Access for Web: Adjusted to ensure a 5250 app does not launch if another just-launched 5250 app has not yet completed, as 5250 app launches must be processed serially (not in parallel) within each session
                      • Installer: Ensure new values in VVFILEXT are propagated into updated instances. A new XLSX entry in that file helps address an issue on systems where downloaded .xlsx files appear to getting "renamed" to vvcall.pgm.
                      • Installer: Corrected problem with Mac version of installer where zip file appears to be corrupted when running on newer Mac OS X levels

                        • Nitro Query App Builder: Adjusted widget filter date fields to ensure they show the complete date (avoid truncation of the date value).
                        • Nitro Query App Builder: When using "select * from ..." on an SQL-based data source and multiple tables are specified, fixed issue where the parser would sometimes not pull in all the columns for the tables

                        • Nitro Query App Builder: Added support for filtering on calculated columns
                        • Nitro Query App Builder: Hitting ENTER key while inside a filter field now automatically applies the filter value(s) to underlying widget
                        • Nitro Query App Builder: Fix filter field width being too small in certian conditions.
                        • Nitro Query App Builder: Fix buttons added directly to pivot grids not performing actions in desktop/mobile.
                        • Nitro Query App Builder: Added support for including calculated columns on a join through the data source wizard (go back to step 2 after creating calculated field(s) in step 3)

                        • RPG Toolkit - vvOut: Added SRTSEQ=*LANGIDSHR to SQL options to ensure searches on character fields are case-insensitive
                        • RPG Toolkit - vvSecure: When calling an exit program on logout, ensure record lock on session record (VVSESSDATA) is reestablished after call
                        • RPG Toolkit - vvUtility: Adjusted parse routine to accommodate missing elements in individual JSON array records (i.e., via vvIn_JSON)
                        • RPG Toolkit - vvUtility: Corrected issue that would cause _getFieldInfo to go into MSGW if a field had 10 or more decimal positions
                        • VVMIGRATE: Corrected issue that would cause custom app records in 5.0 to not copy over to 5.1
                        • Portal - Make sure if the user is searching for an auto start application in user settings to not hide the search field.

                            Valence Framework 5.1.20180118.0 is now available. Changes in this build since the previous release are:

                            Important Note: If you have any Nitro Query apps with buttons calling RPG programs you must recompile those programs after installing this build. Failure to do so will cause unexpected results.
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Added support for long calculations in join clause (previously only supported calculations of up to 50 chars)
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Fixed issue with Pivot Grid and infinite scrolling grids linked to data sources with an RPG prep program. The RPG prep program was called for each pre-fetch which resulted in incorrect data.
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Fixed issue with the Pivot Grid not rendering when placed in any tab other than the first one
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Added right-click option to grid widgets so user can reset the column state to default values
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Added ability to specify widths per app section
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Fix - when initially creating an edit grid widget the "Allow Remove" was not displaying in the configuration
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Added warning when a data source is going to be updated in such a way that associated edit grids can no longer add/edit/delete records
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Added ability to set a specific width of a filter field instead of it dynamically setting it based off the field length/type
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Added ability to specify a fixed height on a widget
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Adjusted import routine to apply Default Group ID (from Portal Admin/Settings) on Query Apps imported for the first time
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Adjusted edit grid to accommodate data sources with up to 999 fields (previously could only accommodate up to 127)
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: When a grid is configured to neither page nor use infinite scroll, the number of results has been increased to 5000 (previously 500)
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Fixed issue in which EXQRYBTN-derived programs (RPG programs called from a button click) would crash if a large number of records were selected in the attached grid
                            • Nitro Query App Builder: Added new "Post" section when configuring grids (see tip-of-the-month blog post)
                            • RPG Toolkit - vvUtility_qShell: Adjusted logic so that QSH commands run in remote job do not require an Enterprise license to execute
                            • RPG Toolkit - vvUtility_qShell/VVRMTDB: Adjusted to support QSH commands being executed outside of Valence CGI job (i.e., calling vvOut_execSQLtoSS from an interactive green screen session). Previously was deleting data queues unexpectedly.
                            • RPG Toolkit - vvUtility_getFieldInfo: Adjusted logic to accommodate files where field descriptions and column headings are encoded to CCSID 65535, resulting in no field descriptions showing in Nitro Query data sources, File Editor, etc.
                            • RPG Toolkit - vvUtility_getFieldInfo: Adjusted to explicitly identify integer fields as numeric (type "I") rather than binary (type "B")
                            • RPG Toolkit - vvUtility_getCurrentUser: Avoid MSGW condition when *omit is passed for email parm and firstName and/or lastName parm is passed
                            • Nitro File Editor: Always Load the first page when a filter is applied to the results
                            • Nitro File Editor: Now allows filtering on the same field multiple times
                            • Instance Manager: Now shows the number of active sessions and last activity date for each instance
                            • Installer: Corrected problem with new values in VVFILEXT not being propagated into updated instances
                            • Portal Admin: Fix - when saving an app, if the "Groups" store is filtered it will no longer omit any of those filtered out groups when saving the app
                            • Portal Admin: Group names were being double encoded when selected to be added to an app or user
                            • Portal Admin: Environment name was double encoded when selected to be added to a user
                            • Portal: In some cases the environment name was showing invalid characters due to double encoding issue
