IT22437: CHANGE IN THE BEHAVIOR OF THE REPLAY FUNCTION IN STERLING FILE GATEWAY V2020603

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Change in the behavior of the replay function.
  
  At V5.2.6 level, when you click to check the replay box for
  one route, a checkmark appears in the box and that line is
  highligted.  If you then click a second route, the same happens
  to it, but the first route clicked is no longer highlighted.
  That holds true if additional lines are also checked. The
  checkmark remains in the box for every route clicked, but only
  the route most recently clicked is highlighted. Then, when you
  right click and select the option to replay, only the
  highlighted route is replayed, not all of the checked routes.

  Circumvention:
  
  There are multiple ways around this. For all of them the first
  thing to do is use filters on the Activity screen to limit as
  far as possible so that only routes that do need to be replayed
  are displayed.
  
  Option 1: If it is possible to use the filter so that all of
  the routes displayed need to be replayed, then just click on
  the replay checkbox in the column header line. That should both
  highlight and check all of the routes. Then, right click either
  the top or bottom line and select the replay option.
  
  Option 2: If it is not possible to use the filter so that all
  of the routes displayed need to be replayed, then examine the
  screen looking for blocks of consecutive files that need to be
  replayed. For any such blocks, either click the top route in
  the block, then press and hold the Shift key and click the
  bottom route in the block or vice versa. That should cause all
  routes in the block to be highlighted and checked. Then, right
  click either the top or bottom route in the block and select
  the replay option.
  
  Option 3: If the filter has a number of routes that need to be
  replayed, but each one has a route that does not need to be
  replayed both below it and above it, click one of the routes as
  normal first. For all the rest, press and hold the control key,
  then click each of the other routes. All the routes that need
  to be rerouted should be highligted and checked. Then, right
  click either the top or bottom highlighted line and select the
  option to replay.
  
  You will need to add a comment each time that you click the
  replay option, but each highlighted line should be replayed and
  take the comment. Depending on how well the filters work to
  limit the diplayed routes to ones that need to be displayed,
  you may need to click to replay a number of times, but not as
  many as if each route were done individually.
