Here is the July list of New & Updated Gen Knowledge Base Articles (July 1 - 31, 2025, US EDT).
PLEASE NOTE:
The full list of KB articles can be found on the Gen Product page: https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdetails?productName=Gen
Scroll down to "Knowledge Base Articles" and use "Browse All". Change the default "Sort By Relevance" to "Sort By Created Date". Also at the bottom of the page, you can increase the default value of 10 for "Results per page".
Another thing to note is there is now a "facet" name "Gen" which covers all 4 Gen product names: Gen, Gen - Host Encyclopedia, Gen - Run Time Distributed, Gen - Workstation Toolset.
When the above article search results are initially displayed the Product is filtered on the facet Gen but only with the product name Gen i.e.
Use X on the first "Gen" (facet name) to clear the Product filter and then from left-hand Product list select Gen (facet name):
That results in the following new Product filter which shows all articles that contain any of the 4 Gen product names:

Our MQ Support Team ran an MQ trace for a Gen .NET proxy and a trace wasn't produced. They suspect it might be due to the MQ .NET interface the .NET proxy uses. Is this interface XMS or something else?, A Gen .NET Proxy uses the class IBM.WMQ to communicate with MQ.
A Gen 8.6 developer added a new attribute to an entity and column to this existing table. Then they wrote a new action block to add/create a record to this same entity/table. Within the action block there is no reference to the new attribute within t....,This is expected behaviour: The new action block created contains a 'CREATE' of the entity/table that contains the new attribute. This will create references to this new attribute(even if the attribute was not defined in the action block entity view.....

Can custom Microsoft WPF controls....,You can develop and use your own controls, but since they are not 3rd party products listed on the Gen™ 8.6 > Technical Requirements > Third-Party Software Version page, they would not be officially supported.
