Component Enhancements:

Fixes for IBM Navigator for i

  1. Application Administration window did not load
  2. When users with *PGMR authority are using IBM Navigator for i, they were not seeing the correct database name on the Database and Journal Welcome pages.  Changes were made so that users are not required to have QSECOFR authority to the database (or through Application Administration)
  3. User preferences were not remembered in Navigator for i in certain situations.  For example, adding a new EIM Domain and adding Favorites were not being remembered across user sessions.  Now if a user adds a new domain, that domain will appear as expected in Domain Management and Favorites are remembered as expected.
  4. In SMTP Properties, adding a host name with a dash ('-') character would result in an error.  This would occur under the Authentication tab of SMT Properties when clicking the Add button for Logon information of the relay server.  Now the host name is saved with quotes so that the dash can be used in the name without problems.

5.  It is highly recommended to clear the browser cache  after applying this PTF.
