Ideal application uses wrong program version

Products

• Ideal

Issue/Introduction

After compiling a program in Ideal, trying to run the application with this program does not produce the expected results, and it appears that the compiled version (which may even be marked PROD) is not used.

This behavior is most often seen just after an upgrade of Ideal to a new version.

Environment

Ideal all versions 

Cause

This problem of a wrong version of the program - particularly after an upgrade to Ideal - is usually caused by an incorrect setting of the VERSION option.

Resolution

To see the different Ideal options, issue the "DISPLAY SESSION OPTIONS" command in Ideal, and for this problem, scroll down to see the VERSION setting.

If this problem is seen in a production system, where most likely production program versions should be executed , issue the command "SET SITE VERSION PROD" which causes the production version program to be used if there is no SET VERSION command specified in another Ideal member running the application.

In a development system, usually the last version is the desired one, so the command "SET SITE VERSION LAST" might be appropriate.
