YAJL upgrade - Recompile needed?

Post by captainfruitbat »

I need to upgrade our YAJL installation to the latest version. If I use the same library name for the new version as I did for the old, do I need to recompile all the RPGLE programs that use YAJL? I'm guessing not, but have no means to test outside the live environment.

I can see no reason why you would have to recompile. The Service Program signature will be the same.

I have never had any problems with upgrading YAJL - or indeed any of Scott's software.

Thanks - that's what I thought. I've upgraded HTTPAPI multiple times with no issues but haven't done YAJL before. This client has no test box and YAJL is used in multiple business-critical interface applications. I will schedule the update out-of-hours so it can be verified before it gets called for anything important.
