We are going to upgrade our iSeries from V5R4 to V7R1. Are there any known problems with m-Power or mrc-Productivity Series? |
Informed customer that there are no issues with m-Power and V7R1, however there are some steps that will need to be performed prior to upgrading your OS for mrc-PS. This document outlines these steps for you, under scenario #1:

I have installed m-Power on my as400, however when I try to run an application, I receive a JDBC connection error. I have set up my spring context file correctly. |
Informed customer that they also need to make sure that the bean id of the connection they set up is in the datasource value of the servlet properties. To do this, open the m-power interface and navigate to Admin -> Edit Data Dictionary Files -> Servlet Properties. Then, click the Others tab and the top option is the datasource value. Once this was done, apps ran as expected. |

I have an employee master table where each employee has several records. I would like to summarize this table into a smaller table with one record per employee, however some of the records have an alpha field value and some do not. The summary always just prints the last row value. How can I get around this? |
Informed customer that this is the way summaries work for non-numeric fields. One possible way around this is to sequence by this character field, however then the greatest value would always be inserted into the table, which may not be ideal. Alternatively, you could set up some conditional application calcs to insert the last row with a value. This will allow the summarized table to be more like what the customer is expecting. |

I have created a prompt maintainer to filter my retrieval. I followed the instructions in the doc, however when I try to name the parameter (val_CALCULA001) I can only fit the first 10 characters in the text box. This causes the prompt maintainer to fail. How can I get around this? |
Informed customer that after registering this app to their maintainer and compiling, open the Java file in m-Painter. Do a search for val_CALCUL (the first 10 characters) and append A001 to the end of this value so it reads val_CALCULA001. Save and then compile this file. This will allow the prompt maintainer to work as expected. Full documentation on prompt maintainers can be found here:
