These Release Notes inform you of the new features that are provided with Version 3.2.1 of Output Management GUI Client (NGC). This version will run on any Windows platform on which Natural Version 6.3.4 (or above) for Windows runs.
These Release Notes cover the following topics:
Via the Entire Output Management GUI Client, PC users can access Entire Output Management functions on a mainframe from a native PC application. The calls are passed to Entire Output Management mainframe via Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and return the desired information: output can be browsed, definitions edited and log information viewed. Intelligent traffic management enables the user to view millions of output lines without passing everything across the network. Together with Software AG’s mainframe navigation as a part of Natural for Windows, the Entire Output Management GUI Client allows you to create reports without using a mainframe emulation by editing and submitting mainframe jobs on the PC.
Output Management GUI Client Version 3.2.1 requires the following products:
Natural for Windows Version 6.3.4 or above; you can use either the Development version or the Runtime version.
EntireX Version 7.3.4 or above.
Entire Output Management on Mainframes, Version 3.2.1, Service Pack 1, or above.
Version 3.2.1 of the Output Management GUI Client supports all enhancements that have been introduced with Version 3.2.1 of Entire Output Management. These enhancements are described in the Entire Output Management Release Notes.
In addition, binary reports can be browsed if they contain a registered file type, such as ".pdf". In this case the browse function of the Output Management GUI Client downloads the binary file and opens it with the associated Windows application which is able to handle the ".pdf" format.
