Error description

  • The problem is about configing DM Application and a recent
    internal defect. Please refer to a technote below first:

    Problem
    On Windowsᄅ XP machines, JPEG files are associated with the
    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. When I view a file from the DB2ᄅ
    Document Manager Desktop, the JPEG file either opens in
    Microsoftᄅ Paint, or returns an error message.
    
    Cause
    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is not an application, but
    instead a DLL, shimgvw.dll inside of another application,
    rundll32.exe. DB2 Document Manager needs additional parameters
    to pass to the application in order to launch the file
    correctly.
    
    Solution
    1. From Designer > Global > Desktop > Desktop Templates,
    right-click on a Desktop Template and select Modify
    (non-wizard).
    
    2. On the Desktop Applications page, type the following values:
    
    FileType: JPG
    Application Type: Viewing
    
    Clear Launch associated application
    
    Application: rundll32.exe shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
    
    Arguments: %filename%
    
    3. Click Add, then OK to apply the changes and exit the window.
    4. Run Cache.
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    ------------------------
    
    The point I want to point out is the application setting:
    
    rundll32.exe shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
    
    In this setting, the param ImageView_Fullscreen is case
    sensitive, and if we run commands in command line
    1.  rundll32.exe shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
    2.  rundll32.exe shimgvw.dll,IMAGEVIEW_FULLSCREEN
    Obiviously, we will get an error with command 2 with error:
    
    Error in SHIMGVW.DLL
    Missing entry: IMAGEVIEW_FULLSCREEN
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    --
    
    From FP6, all application setting has been changed to uppercase,
    including params, and this change results those applications
    with case-sensitive params will encounter errors, like the
    sample mentioned above.
    
    This change was made through an internal defect with number
    116627.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When you assigned applications to a Desktop template (on the
    Desktop Applications tab of the New or Modify Desktop Template
    Configuration window), the case of any arguments that you
    provided in the Application and Arguments fields was not
    preserved. (Preserving case is important for applications that
    take case-sensitive arguments.)
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix is available in DB2 Document Manager v8.3 Fix Pack 7
    and v8.4.
