The type of application server being used and the idiosyncrasies associated with its particular setup can add additional opportunities for error creation. This document provides helpful tips and techniques for handling these errors when developing Java applications using AllFusion® Gen.

DB2 Hints for Your AllFusion® Gen Host Encyclopedia
Performance of your AllFusion Gen Host Encyclopedia depends heavily on how well the Host Encyclopedia is tuned and how efficient the access paths are. DB2 hints are the way to tell DB2 how to process a query. The technical process of giving hints is relatively simple but instructing DB2 on what those hints should be can be a very complex task. This document discusses how to use DB2 hints as a remedy and quick fix to the emerging performance problems.

Where is the IEFAD Within AllFusion® Gen r7?
You are ready to build remote files on your UNIX machine using AllFusion Gen r7, but after accessing the UNIX machine and entering the familiar "IEFAD" command, nothing happens. Was it typed incorrectly? Is it the wrong machine? Is someone playing a cruel joke? Not to worry! In AllFusion Gen r7, you can either use the Windows Build Tool and access the remote files via a client/server connection or enter the Build Tool commands from the UNIX command line to replace the IEFAD. This document provides a visual detailed description of the steps needed to build applications for UNIX using the AllFusion Gen Build Tool or the UNIX command line.
