WARNINGS:

PTF 02 requires a change to the structure of your Adelia buffers and environments: they will need to change from version 14.0 to 14.01 (see "Information..." option in your environments/buffers icon).
To change the structure, you need to execute the "Database management"/"Change version..." option accessed via the context menu associated with your environments/buffers icon.
For PDM generation in "AS/400 SQL" mode or when using Adelia Build with generations on the AS/400 platform, you also need to install PTF A003 of the AS/400 part of Adelia Studio 14.

Adelia Studio HMI

4GL EDITOR

The Adelia 4GL editor now uses standard Windows shortcuts (Ctrl+S to save the source, Ctrl+F to find, Ctrl+H to replace, F3/Shift+F3 to find the next or previous occurrence, Ctrl+P to print). This standardization has also led to other editor shortcuts being changed.

In the editor options ("Environment" tab), you can specify the editor's repository and input assistance boxes of a program using:
- either the small font to display more information,
- or the system's standard font (default option).
Repository - Program box: a "Repository" checkbox has been added to display all the repository programs (and not only those in the current application area).
The source analysis can only be disabled in read-only open source cases.

The "Description" fields for Adelia objects have changed from 50 to 250 characters.
For the "Description" fields that can be used to create an AS/400 object, in the environment attributes, you can ask for the text to turn red when it exceeds 50 characters (AS/400 object description limit).
Most of the product's dialog boxes have been made bigger.

LDM

Logical entities tab:
- Double-clicking on a logical entity now opens the entity's logical properties box (rather than the "Modify logical entity" box).
- A selection filter has been added to the physical file name.
An entity's logical property list: more information is now provided on the logical property definition (guide word, short name, type and length).

OBJECT MANAGER

Management rules tab: The source of a management rule can be opened directly. Double-clicking opens the source of formal management rules in the 4GL editor.

SESSION MANAGER

For the "Repository" context, the Object manager session has been added, enabling the user to open an object manager with the display context of all repository objects.

Generating the Physical Data Model in AS/400

For a logical entity generated in AS/400 SQL, the entity and its accesses only including key fields are generated in SQL mode, but now the other accesses (defining a specific format, IBM logical fields, select/omit) will also be processed by the generation but as IBM logical files.
For the generation of a logical entity in AS/400 SQL with data retention, this generation can now be performed using the SQL instruction "CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE", available on AS/400 from the V7R2. You need PTF A002 of the Adelia Studio 14 AS/400 part for this feature to be supported.
The information that an entity was generated in native AS/400 or AS/400 SQL is retained. If you change generation type, your new generation mode must be confirmed. For the validation of a correction with data generation for AS/400, the generation mode (native or SQL) used for the last entity generation performed in the correction environment will be used.

Native support for PostgreSQL.
- The PDM can be generated for a PostgreSQL database.
- The generated applications can work on a PostgreSQL database.
- Adelia environments can be a PostgreSQL database.
For the validation of a correction with data generation, the "generation with/without key" mode indicated for the last entity generation performed in the correction environment will be used.

Adelia classes: for a dynamic array type member, elements can be added beyond the initially allocated array size by executing the member's "set" getter via the *END parameter.
The VaToolBxSockConnectTcpServerEx function has been added to enable the user to connect to a TCP/IP server by indicating the options (connect_timeout, keepalive, tcp_nodelay).
The VaToolBxAMQPSyncPublish, VaToolBxAMQPPublish, VaToolBxAMQPCreateQueue and VaToolBxAMQPCreateExchange functions, used to send data to a message broker supporting AMQP, are now available for the Windows platform (client and server).
