Here is the March list of New & Updated Gen Knowledge Base Articles (March 1 - 31, 2024, US EST)
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 Updated 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:
When moving from a Development environment to a QA/test environment to a Production environment, it is often required to use a different SOAP Web Service endpoint URL for the Call External statement.

Once the TE starts the transaction ,it will let it run to completion without timing it out. The only way the TE will stop (i.e kill) a running transaction is if th....
This technical paper is developed to assist in the manual deployment of Gen 8.6 GUI client applications (32-bit) on Windows. In addition, it also documents the deployment requirements for COM Proxy applications (32-bit and 64-bit).,Follow the instructions in the latest "Gen 8.6 GUI Client and COM Proxy Deployment.docx" attached below.
Have configured the Windows CSE to use a remote Oracle database (resides on another server). This all works fine when starting the message dispatcher from the command line. However when starting the message dispatcher service CSESvcMD it fails to sta....,To correct this situation use the registry editor regedit.exe to modify the key value for HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSESvcMD\DependOnService to remove the database service (in this example OracleServiceDBCSE) and just leave the RPCSS val....
For any Operating System platform. how to check what Gen 8.6 PTFs are applied/installed and what PTFs are missing i.e. need to be applied/installed?,1. MAINFRAME (z/OS): a. For the z/OS platform, the status of the PTFs applied can be checked by running an SMP/E report of the Gen 8.6 CSI data set to list what SYSMODS have been received.

For some Gen generated Java application types, Gen 8.6 requires that the Java EE SDK be installed and Build Tool profile JAVA token LOC.JAVAEE_HOME be set to find the file javaee.jar for the build to be successful. What are those application types?,1. LOC.JAVAEE_HOME needs to be set when building/installing Java server EJBs/EJB Web Services and the Classic Style Java Proxy.
