    • New Installations - Visit the Valence Store to download the latest release under the free Community Developer License or to purchase a Professional Developer License. See the Licensing page and the FAQ page for information on the current Valence licensing methods.
    • Updating an Existing Valence 2.1 Installation - To access the installation updater you must have an active Valence Support Pack. Those with a current Valence Support Pack may download the installation updater from within their account at the Valence Store. To purchase a Support Pack visit the Valence Store.
    • Upgrading from Valence 2.0 - Existing customers running Valence 2.0 can install this version and migrate using the provided conversion tool. Valence 2.1 will install into library VALENCE21 and ifs path /valence-2.1 so it will have no effect on your current VALENCE20 or /valence-2.0 installation. Once Valence 2.1 is successfully installed, call program VVCNV21 from a green screen session and follow the prompts to migrate select data from your Valence 2.0 installation.
    • Upgrading from Valence 1.X - Existing customers running Valence 1.X should contact CNX at support@cnxcorp.com for information and guidance on upgrading to version 2.1.

    More Info on Valence 2.1:

    See the original release notes for Valence 2.1 for more general features and info on this release.

    Bug Fixes Since Previous Update Release:
    • Navigation Tree Admin - Fixed issue with tree becoming corrupt and disappearing. (NOTE: If your *MASTER tree is corrupt, apply this update then call VVFIX00001 to reset the *MASTER tree back to the distribution default).
    • Random Problem with Special Characters - Fixed a memory utilization issue with character conversion from EBCDIC to UTF-8 when translating from single-byte EBCDIC characters to multi-byte UTF-8 characters.
    • Users Admin Crashes IE - Administering users in the Valence Portal with the Internet Explorer browser would cause the browser to crash in some cases. To fix this, the authorization tree in the Users administration program has been re-engineered into separate sub-tabs for Environments, Groups and Options.
    • Users Admin Missing Options - Fixed missing options within some groups on the authorizations tab.
    • AutoCode - Fixed AutoCode automatic data structure creation for varying fields (was off by two bytes).

    System Requirements:
    • Any hardware running the IBM i operating system V5R4 or higher. Existing customers on previous versions of Valence at V5R3 will not be able to upgrade to this version until they are at V5R4 or higher.
    • A personal computer running Windows XP/Vista/7, MacOSX or Linux (for installation only). Only the Windows version is available for download from the Valence Store. If you would like a Mac or Linux installer please email support@cnxcorp.com.
    • A compatible browser on client computers. This version of Valence has been tested with Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6 and Safari 4.0. Google Chrome is also very likely to work fine, but we do not currently QA test Valence with Chrome.
    • 5722ST1 is required to use AutoCode, and for the ability to recompile many of the Valence core programs.
    • If you would like to use the PDF and/or Email capabilities of Valence then you need 5722JV1 *BASE and option 6, Java Developer Kit 1.4. This is installed on most systems by default. After installing this version of Valence, just try to run the PDF and email examples. If they work then you know for certain your system has the correct configuration. Note that even though Java is required, you do not need to know or use Java to develop PDFs or send emails with Valence. You will use the Valence RPG Toolkit procedures, which use certain Java functions behind the scenes.

    If you need assistance with installing this release please email support@cnxcorp.com.
