Modification 5

Host Software


• Corrected copying of files during upgrades where a member named differently than the file would cause the upgrade to fail
  
  Strategi/REMOTE Host Software
  
  
• Fixed the RMTRCVF job so that it no longer ends abnormally when there is a problem extracting the contents of a file received from a Strategi/REMOTE user
  
  
  Client Applet
  
  
• Updated the Strategi emulation applet and VT Server so that they will no longer clear keyed data when a break message is received.

Modification 4

Host Software


• Corrected HTTP Server to recognize .HSM (all caps) as a valid High Speed Messaging File.
• The HTTPSERVER has been modified to correctly escape the < and > symbols on Strategi error page. When a Strategi error page is served for a 404 NOT FOUND, the < and > will now be correctly escaped.
• Corrected the conversion of international data when spoolfiles and database files are sent through Strategi via the SNDSGIF command.
• Changed the WAITFILE time on Strategi database files from *IMMED to 30 and now logs information about locks on our database files in our COMSSERVER and AUTHSERVER jobs.
• Updated the expired Thawte and Verisign root certificates in the Trusted Root Certificate Authority file in Strategi.

• Added the ability to create Event Routing Entry names with a lead asterisk.
• Enhanced importing of dBase III files to treat numeric fields as right aligned. Previously, a 9 digit numeric field with contents "20060101 " would have been treated as "200601010", and importing to an 8 digit DB2 field, which is permitted, would have silently truncated the leading 2. Now, the field will be right aligned, so "20060101 " will first become " 20060101" and will be imported as expected.
• Updated the Strategi HTTP server to address two security concerns.
  Issue 1: Adding a forward or backward slash to the end of a URL when requesting a HSM page (i.e., "http://your.ip.address/homepage.hsm\") resulted in the HSM source being displayed.
  Issue 1 Resolution: Requesting a URL in this manner now ignores the added "\" or "/" and displays the associated web page.
  Issue 2: After a user was authenticated into a zone, adding "?*LOGIN-ERROR-SGIxxxx&--><script>alert(document.cookie)" to the URL caused the Strategi User Number and Cookie ID to be displayed in a JavaScript Alert window.
  Issue 2 Resolution: URL data echoed in HTML is now escaped, so <script> is not actioned.
  
  
  Commands - New and Enhanced
  
  
• Added 4 new Strategi commands that allow a mew method of packaging and installing applications: PKGSGIAPP, INSSGIAPP, PRGMSGSGI, and RTVSGIPTH
• Changed the Strategi CHGAUTSGI command to explicitly set the Primary Group (PGP) to *NONE for the IFS objects on which it is executed to prevent upgrades from failing if the Primary Group was set to SGIOBJOWN.
• Several changes were made to the CVTDBFSGI command as follows:
  1.  Allow dBaseIII files with numeric fields containing spaces to now be converted.
  2.  Allow conversion of a *CSV formatted file
  3.  Deleted records are no longer copied
  4.  dBase numeric fields containing spaces are now correctly converted to zoned decimal fields
  
  
  Pocket Strategi
  
  
• Pocket Strategi Mini DBMS enhancement that now supports 3 new Capacity opcodes.
  The new opcodes are:
  ENSADDCAP
  This ensures internal control arrays have capacity to accept the specified number of additional records, and it can also change the number of entries by which the arrays will then be extended.
  ENSTOTCAP
  This ensures internal control arrays have capacity of at least the specified number of records, and it can also change the number of entries by which the arrays will be extended.
  GETCAPINF
  This returns capacity information for the file. It reflects both internal MiniDBMS array information and physical dbf or data file information.
  
  
  Strategi/REMOTE
  
  
• Corrected Strategi/REMOTE host problem where files that were queued prior to the Daylight Saving Time change were unable to be retrieved by the user after the time change.

• A new emulation management program has been added to provide general emulation services for the system. As of this release it is used exclusively by Strategi/REMOTE, but future enhancements will include all emulation support. The manager provides session retention and recovery, and session sharing between clients.
• The Java HSM API has been entirely rewritten moving as much support as possible to Java, and redesigning the API to fit better into a Java programming model. The API is now multi-thread capable. Note that for reasons relating to the management components, multiple server threads are currently still separate jobs.
• Added system cleanup job, which runs daily, and
  1. Expires user accounts
  2. Cleans up temporary files created by Strategi
  3. Cleans up deleted websites and old upgraded Strategi elements
