Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'uc4' does not exist in the namespace 'com' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

When integrating the automic.dll to OmniView in v12.1 the following error may appear:

<Please see attached file for image>

Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'uc4' does not exist in the namespace 'com' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Investigation:
The new .dll is referenced and the namespace 'sun' is available as well. When using the automic.dll from v12 this works properly.

Please refer to the solution in order to integrate the automic.dll
 

Cause

Cause type:
Other
Root Cause: The namespace did not change but we changed the java compiler level in 12.1 to Java 8
The build process uses an old IKVM compiler that does not support Java 8.

Environment

Release: AUTWAB99000-12.0-Automic Workload Automation-Base Edition
Component:

Resolution

Download IKVM from http://weblog.ikvm.net/2015/08/26/IKVMNET81ReleaseCandidate0.aspx and create the automic.dll from the uc4.jar:
ikvmc -target:library -out:automic.dll uc4.jar

Please do not forget that the referenced IKVM libraries need to be changed in the project.
