We had a custom program written by Mincom to address this (ran283) Written by Yacaman. The narative is:
** PROGRAM ABSTRACT:
** Cheque Print Interface to deliver payment data to the bank.
** This program performs all the necessary steps to create the
** cheque...
This is probably an old problem solved by many, but here goes..
In the Windows screens in the MIMS Front-end, the menu bar has an option to print the screen. When a user selects this option, a dialog box is presented asking the user to select a printer. Print output is sent to the printer...
We use a subsidiary of Level Three Communications (i)Structure. They have a first rate data center in North America and a very competent support staff. They are great at running HP:UX and Oracle, but we have to provide all of the MIMS technical support.

Is anyone familiar with the requirements for employee photos accessed by the MSQ810 program? I have created .jpg files with the employee ID as the name, and pointed the path to the photo in the Employee Information record. I have tried just the path and the path\filename on the MSO813 with the...
Calator,
I wasn't referencing the risk and cost if Mincom were to deliver a patch. My reference was to an individual client taking on the customizations of the unsupported Mincom code to make the dates work. For an individual client, if the choice were to upgrade or to hire in staff to...
Jeff truly does know more than I do about what would be involved in upgrading the MIMS database to deal with this change in the transaction file. From a technical perspective, his guys could most likely convert most systems in a weekend. If this is not a major task for AddOns, it is because...
jamcan2,
If you work back into the problem from what a transaction is, how it is delimited, and how Mincom programs work you may see the solution here.
First, a transaction is a logical unit of work that can be either committed or rolled back if errors are encountered.
Updates are only...
Tas,
This isn't realy a Julian date problem, but a numeric limit problem. The MSF900-PROCESS-DATE (and other associated fields on the MSF901, MSF902, etc) is a number representing the number of days since the epoch (January 1, 1980). The field is a PIC 9(4) field, allowing values up to...
If you are upgrading you probably have people within your organization that have the real insight into what you need. You may want to consider hiring 'consultants' to free up your own resources so that your own internal experts can apply their best efforts on the real business impacts of the...
Thanks to all (NOTE:Including our Account Manager at Mincom who noted the post and emailed a copy of the support Matrix to me. Thanks Darell). This did help.

We have seen problems with the timing of the MSB260 and MSB289 runs where an invoice is approved, but the supplier has a negative amount due. On some of these, the process to reset the status to 30 was skipping a day resulting in the status not being reset. This situation did not self-correct...
If you are staying on the same version of MIMS, do not have significant customizations, and are not changing any business functionality, the conversion should be relatively minor. Depending on how experienced your AIX admins are, this could easily be done in a couple of weeks (with most of this...
I think this addresses what we need on the back-end. How about the front-end? The demonstrations I've seen are using a web-based UI. Is this an IIS front end and what else does the web server side need??

Phil,
Any idea where I might acquire a copy of the supported platforms document? A search of Mincom's website didn't find a match, and what information is there only pointed to the IBM website. I'm not sure that our IT Director cares enough about if we stay with MIMS to contact the account...
Is there a list of what software is REQUIRED to run Ellipse 5.2.3+? For example, do we need BEA Tuxedo, Autosys, Websphere (how much and how many seats), which Cobol and 'C' compiler etc? I am particularly interested in the requirements for an Oracle shop using HP or Sun servers. Mincom tends...
There are a couple of "hard-coded" user IDs in the system. These IDs have special rules about passwords that are outside of the normal authentication process. Which user ID are you having problems with?

In my Microfocus Cobol directory (/opt/cobol/cobdir/docs/html/*) there are a series of html documents that cover the COBSW variables rather well (particularly as they pertain to the HP-UX environment).
