Prerequisites

ARCAD Transformer Field requires that you have IBM i ≥v7.1.

Important!

Due to a new licensing format, starting from v10.07.00 the ARCAD Transformer Field solution is only compatible with IBM i ≥v7.1. If you are running an older IBM i OS, you must upgrade.

For ARCAD Transformer Field to function correctly, you must first have completely configured the applications:

  • Define the libraries linked to an application.
  • Audit their contents.
  • Resolve anomalies (duplicate sources, etc...).
  • Load the component repository.
  • Load the detailed field and component cross-references.
Important!

  • For ARCAD Transformer Field projects, the repository must be loaded with the following parameters:
    External fields only (RTVEXTFLD) *NO
    Only used fields (RTVUSDFLD) *NO

  • ARCAD Transformer Field can only process files with sources. Use the AGENFILSRC command to generate any missing PF or LF sources.

The options in the ARCAD Transformer Field menu need to be placed in an open version before being run.

In order to create this version, you need to:

  • Declare a development environment if one isn’t already declared (ADCLENV) (with, if necessary, *NONE, *NONE, ... in the environment’s libraries).
  • Open the version (AOPNVER).
Note

If you need to simply carry out an impact analysis without line markings or modifications, it is still necessary to open the version. You can remove it afterward (ADLTVER).

In addition to the ARCAD Transformer Field concepts explained in this guide, it is necessary to follow the below basic training sessions:

  • ARCAD Process Manager and ARCAD List Manager.
  • ARCAD Repository and cross-references.
  • Configuring an application.
