As part of our ongoing development strategy and planning efforts here at BCD we are scheduling future internal IBM i system upgrades. This will affect the minimum OS/400 release level supported by BCD products. Our product line currently requires a minimum OS/400 release level of V5R3. As of January 1, 2012 V5R4 will be the minimum OS/400 release level supported by most BCD products and updates released after that date.
As our products continue to evolve and new products are introduced it is generally our intention to keep in step with IBM OS/400 release levels, while also giving our clients enough time to plan for this change. This allows us to develop using current technology and to make this technology available to you in our product family.
IBM discontinued support for V5R3 on April 30, 2009.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Technical Support.
ProGen Plus 9.6 is available for download. This release consolidates fixes made since version 9.5, paving the way for the next major release. You can upgrade directly to version 9.6 from any release higher than 8.0.
Note that ProGen 9.5 and higher requires a new license key. If you are upgrading to ProGen 9.6 from a release earlier than 9.5 please contact our sales office for your new key before beginning the upgrade.
These changes are included:
As noted above, these are for the most part fixes to version 9.5, though not all of them were previously available.
Looking forward, we have a further set of minor enhancements and new features we’ve been working on over the last couple of years to incorporate, which we will most likely release as version 9.7 later this year. After that we’ll start work on the main features in the upcoming version 10.
Please let us know if you have any questions about ProGen 9.6!

We recently published KB article 9109 which describes how you can set up Catapult to poll outqueues stored in Independent Auxiliary Storage Pools, with just a few simple steps. I thought I’d also take the opportunity to share a summary of other recent KB articles (it’s been a year since I’ve circulated a summary like this, so there have actually been quite a few additions!).
I won’t burden your inbox with a complete list, but here are some highlights:
As I mentioned above, there are also many other recent articles including both troubleshooting strategies for specific problems and how-to articles answering frequently asked questions.
Finally, if you have any other Catapult questions, be sure to try out the updated Technical Resource searchwhich pulls in results from all our online technical content.
WebSmart Build 5983-9484 is available for download. This includes a Clover fix to an issue where the filter or where clause was not added to the SQL query when the SQL validation was turned off.
The option to turn off SQL validation is a feature we recently added for customers creating Clover reports over very large datasets. You can find this option in the Tools/ILE area; it’s called ‘Validate Clover SQL’.
You can find further information about recent WebSmart, WebSmart PHP and Clover updates at the web site.
