HMD Global Oy, branded as HMD, is a Finnish mobile phone company, made up of the mobile phone business that Nokia sold to Microsoft in , then bought back in HMD Oy (limited company) began marketing smartphones and feature phones under the Nokia brand on 1 December The company has exclusive rights to the Nokia brand for mobile phones through a licensing agreement.^[5] The company was created by inheriting Microsoft Mobile's feature phone business, which was sold to Microsoft by Nokia in HMD is in a partnership with Google, and uses the Android operating system under the Android One program on their smartphones,^[6] whereas HMD's feature phones use the Series 30+ platform, or most recently, the Firefox OS-derived KaiOS.^[7] The HMD brand is only used for corporate purposes and does not appear in advertising, whereas the name Nokia Mobile is used on social media.^[8][9]

HMD is headquartered in Espoo, Finland, and is largely run by former Nokia executives.^[10] The first CEO was Arto Nummela, a Nokia veteran of 17 years, until July , when company president Florian Seiche took over as CEO.^[11] Manufacturing is outsourced to Foxconn subsidiary FIH Mobile.^[12][13][14] Nokia has investment^[15] in HMD, and remains a partner, setting mandatory requirements and providing patents and technologies, in return for royalty payments.^[16][17] HMD uses a marketing strategy advertising Nokia phones as "pure, secure and up to date" (referring to a stock Android interface and its commitment to fast updates) as well as brand trust and nostalgia.^{[18][19][20][21]}

History[edit]

Nokia was a leading global mobile phone and smartphone maker until it began to struggle in maintaining market leadership due to the rise of more innovative smartphone offerings from Apple and Samsung. Due to various factors, including the shift in the mobile market to smartphones, and the poor choice of mobile operating systems, Nokia was unable to maintain the popularity it once had back in the s. Its initial partnership with Microsoft to use its operating system did not help either as Windows Phone's mobile app offerings were not as comprehensive as the ones available on Apple's iOS and Google's Android.

At this point of time, Nokia had a lineup of feature phones, and a range of low- to high-end smartphones under the Nokia Lumia and Nokia Asha product lines.

By the early s, Nokia had lost major market share in the mobile phone market, and was officially overtaken by Apple and Samsung, respectively.

In , Nokia's mobile phone business was sold to Microsoft. Nokia's woes, however, further increased since the brand was primarily used on the part of Microsoft as a means to introduce its Windows Phone mobile operating system, which was itself struggling to establish any kind of significant market presence.^[22] The range of Nokia Lumia smartphones did not gain significant traction in the highly competitive smartphone industry dominated by Android and iOS devices. There were further internal struggles, as Microsoft tried to reconcile the Nokia brand with its own objectives under Microsoft Mobile. By October , Microsoft decided to drop the Nokia brand in favour of its Microsoft-branded Lumia smartphone range with the release of Microsoft Lumia , while only the featurephone segment kept the Nokia brand.^[23]

Return to Nokia[edit]

The CEO of Nokia, Rajeev Suri, said in June that the Nokia brand would return to smartphones.^[24] Earlier that year Nokia Technologies released the N1 tablet running Android. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement with Microsoft, Nokia could not sell Nokia-branded phones until 31 December ^[25] Suri said in February that he wanted the company to be in a position where it co-designs with another manufacturer, but keeps "appropriate control measures".^[26]

HMD Global Oy was originally incorporated in Helsinki on 9 November ^[27]

On 18 May , Microsoft Mobile announced the sale of its feature phone business to HMD Global and FIH Mobile. The sale included design rights, and its rights to use Nokia brand on all types of mobile phones and tablets worldwide until ,^[28][29] except in Japan, where Nokia-branded mobile phones have not been sold since HMD also signed a licensing agreement with Nokia Corporation which included giving it use of cellular standard essential patent licenses. Nokia has said this move is "uniting one of the world's iconic mobile brands with the leading mobile operating system".^[30] Some factories of Microsoft Mobile, including one located in Vietnam, had been sold to FIH Mobile, a subsidiary of Taiwan-based Foxconn, the world's largest electronics manufacturer.

It was agreed that HMD products would be manufactured in the FIH/Foxconn factories.^[31] The total sale to both HMD Global and FIH Mobile amounted to US$ million.^[32] HMD have decided to spend US$ million in supporting the marketing of the new products over the next three years. In addition the company is backed by a Luxembourg-based private equity fund called Smart Connect LP, run by Jean-François Baril, who was senior vice president of Nokia from to ^[33]

Nokia 6, HMD's first smartphone and the first Google Play certified Android-powered Nokia

On 1 December , the Nokia website showed mobile devices for sale for the first time since ^[28][34] Their first devices, Nokia and Dual SIM feature phones, was announced on 13 December ,^[35] while their first Android smartphone, Nokia 6, was announced on 8 January At Mobile World Congress in February , HMD announced the relaunch of the iconic Nokia , along with two new Android devices named Nokia 3 and Nokia 5.^[36] The first Nokia branded Android smartphone, Nokia 6 was released in China and a few other Asian markets starting January, while Western releases commenced in June starting with Finland,^[37] with a full worldwide release of all three Android devices by August ^[38]

On 6 July HMD partnered with Carl Zeiss AG to provide camera lens optics for Nokia smartphones.^[39] Nokia previously used Zeiss optics in its mobile phone lineup from to ^[40]

On 27 July , HMD purchased design patents from Microsoft Mobile that were originally created by Nokia. One notable patent is the Lumia Camera user interface, which had been highly praised by critics^[41][42] since appearing on the Nokia Lumia

On 16 August , HMD introduced their first flagship Nokia smartphone, the Nokia 8. Its most distinguishing features are Dual Sight, allowing live streaming with both the front and rear Zeiss cameras (referred to as "bothie", a pun on "selfie"), and OZO Audio, which contains spatial ° audio technology derived from Nokia's high-end OZO camera.^[43][44][45]

In September , HMD acquired the design patent of Nokia Lumia

On 25 October , HMD revived the Nokia Beta Labs, a beta software program.^[46]

On 11 January , HMD Global acquired the Asha brand name.

On 25 February , A new high-end flagship was introduced, Nokia 8 Sirocco, featuring a curved all-glass design and its name referring to the older Nokia Sirocco,^[47] as well as Nokia 7 plus, and ultra-low-cost smartphone, Nokia 1.^[48] In addition, HMD re-introduced the Nokia Pro Camera app for ZEISS camera phones.^[49] The classic was also reintroduced.

In late July , HMD announced vacancy for a team to expand the business in USA.

For the Chinese market, Nokia X6 was announced, which got a worldwide release as Nokia Plus. Another Chinese-market device, called Nokia X5, was later announced. Both these have bezel-less screens.

In late August , HMD acquired PureView branding, the imaging technology brand which had previously been implemented on high-end Nokia/Lumia smartphones since the Nokia PureView in

In November , HMD announced Nokia C1, the Android Go smartphone.

On 19 March , HMD held an online event and announced Nokia 5G, the first ever Nokia-branded 5G smartphone, and the "world's first truly global 5G device". Other products announced the same day were Nokia , Nokia , and revival of Nokia XpressMusic. Besides that HMD introduced HMD Connect, which is a global roaming data SIM card, with associated plans. This works in countries. Nokia and Nokia get exclusive branded Kevlar cases in conjunction to the HMD marketing campaign with James Bond movie No Time to Die.

They are currently implementing new systems utilizing Artificial Intelligence.^[50]

In July , HMD Global acquired Valona Labs, a mobile software cybersecurity products and solutions company.^[51]

Product naming[edit]

The product naming of Nokia devices has historically been based on the numerical system, with new Nokia-branded Android smartphones being named from 1 to 9; with Nokia 1 series being the lowest-end entry level smartphone, and the Nokia 9 series being the highest-end offering of the portfolio. For device successors, and new products launched under the same series, the decimal system (similar to the naming convention of software versions) is being used to denote the different smartphone versions (for eg. Nokia 6 (), Nokia (), Nokia (), Nokia , and so on)

Software[edit]

HMD is in partnership with Google, and their Nokia-branded smartphones run Google's Android operating system.^[52] The software has minimal customizations and is stock Android, with some notable customizations including tweaked icons with a more general blue theme,^[53] a different camera app,^[54] and the additions of the classic Nokia startup tone and the Nokia tune ringtone.^[55] HMD calls it "pure, secure and up-to-date", claiming it does not contain bloatware or additional software^[56] and that the phones will get fast software updates compared to other OEMs.^[57] It can be seen as a spiritual successor to Google's former Nexus series, which were known for running stock Android.^[58] HMD's launch devices came preloaded with Android version 7 "Nougat"^[59]. Devices released after come preloaded with Android 8 "Oreo" or Android 9 "Pie". Newest devices (Dec. and after) come with Android 10 "Q", however it is confirmed that some phones will get an update to Android 10 "Q".

Former CEO Arto Nummela, said in a June interview that HMD is a "first tier partner with Google."^[60]

On 30 August Counterpoint research said that "Nokia Leads the Global Rankings in Updating Smartphone Software and Security [out of 3rd party Android OEMs]". According to Exhibit 2: Time Taken by Top 10 Manufacturers to Upgrade Portfolios to the Latest Android Version, Nokia were, over the 12 months following Android 9's launch, in first place for&#;% of [Smartphone] Portfolio Updated to Android Pie.^[61]

On feature phones, HMD has used Series 30+, Smart Feature OS powered by Java for Nokia 3G and KaiOS for Nokia 4G and in the Chinese market, YunOS.

Nokia and Android[edit]

After the announcement of Google's Open Handset Alliance in November , Nokia said it "considered" joining the alliance, despite its majority stake in Symbian Ltd.^[62] Nokia eventually did not join and instead created the rival Symbian Foundation in after taking control of the Symbian operating system and making it open source.^[63][64] In as competition stiffened, Nokia lost some partners of the Symbian Foundation who then supported Google only.^[65] By now Nokia planned to replace Symbian with the Linux-based MeeGo after the N9 flagship. As MeeGo and Android are based upon Linux, some speculated that this would be a roadmap in Nokia's eventual adoption of Android.^[66]

Under CEO Stephen Elop the company chose to halt the MeeGo project in favour of adopting Windows Phone, which resulted in a partnership with Microsoft in , with Symbian to be relegated. Google's chief executive Eric Schmidt confirmed that the company held extensive "confidential negotiations" with Nokia to encourage using Android.^[67] Despite this, Nokia still experimented with Android that year and leaked images showed a Nokia N9 prototype running Android.^[68] In late when Microsoft announced its intention to purchase the Nokia mobile phone division, the New York Times reported that a team at Nokia were secretly testing Android on Lumia devices, but that Microsoft was aware of this.^[69] Some analysts think Microsoft bought the business because Nokia were thinking of switching to Android, which could have resulted in Microsoft losing its dominant Windows Phone OEM.^[70] In December there were leaks of a Nokia Android smartphone codenamed Normandy,^[71] which was eventually introduced as the Nokia X series in February , featuring a heavily customized version of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and released in emerging markets. The acquisition was completed just two months later, and Microsoft discontinued the X series soon afterward. In an interview with Forbes, former HMD CEO Arto Nummela stated that the Nokia X family surprisingly became popular with users of high-end Samsung and Apple smartphone devices, despite the fact that it was a mid to low end device series.^[72]

After the sale, the Nokia Technologies division developed the N1 Android tablet, featuring the Z Launcher interface, released in China in Later that year, images of an N1-like phone with Android called the C1 were leaked.^[73] Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri confirmed the return of the Nokia brand to smartphones in June through a licensing strategy,^[74] and the formation of HMD Global was finally announced in May Nokia 6 was announced in January , almost six years after declining to use Google/Android and partnering with Microsoft.

Smart Feature OS[edit]

Smart Feature OS is an operating system providing some smartphone capabilities in devices with a feature phone form factor. Smart Feature OS is based on Java for Nokia 3G, and KaiOS for Nokia 4G,^[75] Nokia Tough and Nokia Flip, and was debuted on Nokia 3G, and on Nokia 4G.^{[76][77][78][79]} The newer KaiOS-based system is integrated with many of Google's services, as opposed to Microsoft's on Series 30+.

Hardware[edit]

The first flagship, Nokia 8, in copper color

The design language of Nokia smartphones from HMD consists of typical Scandinavian design and aesthetics,^[80][81] and are considered to be reminiscent of the previous Lumia series, with clean and minimal styling.^[82][83][84] When HMD was formed in , it stated that it wanted to develop phones that stay loyal to Nokia's popular heritage of "design, robustness and reliability".^[85] The company's design team is headed by Raun Forsyth and Alasdair McPhail.^[86]

The Nokia 5, 6, and 8 are made from a single block of series aluminium,^[87][88] while the 7 is crafted from series aluminum.^[89] The Nokia 8 Sirocco is crafted from a single block of stainless steel.^[47]

By , Nokia also started resurrecting its classic devices. This began in May when a new handset was introduced at the Mobile World Congress. It sported an updated but similar design language to the original, which debuted in September ^[90] This device was still a feature phone but it shipped with a fresh operating system, colored display, and Nokia native applications. After the success of this initiative, Nokia again rebooted one of its classic phones, the Nokia , which featured a 4G update, excellent battery life, and classic Nokia apps.^[91]

Reception[edit]

A highlight of HMD's Nokia smartphones has been build quality and design.^[92][93]TechRadar noted the premium build of the Nokia 5, despite its low cost, whereas GSMArena said, that the Nokia 6 was "built like a tank."^[94] Juho Sarvikas, chief product officer at HMD, said "it has the build quality that you expect from Nokia."^[95] The end result of a Nokia 6 build has been called an "aluminium unibody with the highest level of visual and structural quality."^[96]TechRadar called Nokia 8 "one of the most – if not the most – beautiful phones we've ever seen with the Nokia branding emblazoned on the rear."^[97]

HMD have also been praised for its commitment of providing zero-day and monthly security patches, as well as stock Android without an additional user interface.^[98] The Nokia reboot has been praised as a clever marketing strategy that revived interest in the brand,^[99][] with one analyst calling it a "PR stunt."^[]

According to ZDNet on March 6, , Nokia smartphones ranked second highest in resale value in , just below iPhone. The average depreciation rate in was %, the lowest among android smartphone brands.

A common criticism of some of the Nokia smartphones has been the choice of system-on-chips (SoCs). The Nokia 6 uses an older entry-level SoC, which put a strain on software performance.^[][][] The low-end Nokia 3 has also been criticized for using a dated MediaTek MT processor, which gained a negative reputation for being underpowered and unreliable.^[] Analysts have also noted the new Nokia as being "overpriced,"^[][] and that similar basic phones can be bought for almost half the price.^[] The Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia and Nokia were criticized for using older, dated models of Snapdragon SoCs. In addition, Nokia and have only standard charging while their predecessors were equipped with fast charging support. In several developing markets in Asia, Nokia have gained poor sales and are also criticized for its dated or lower spec levels compared to similar devices from other competing manufacturers.

Sales[edit]

HMD executive Juho Sarvikas said on 16 August that the company had shipped "millions of units of the 3, 5 and 6," with demand "far outstripping" supply.^[] As of June , demand of the new Nokia has been up to seven times higher than expected in the UK.^[]

By Q2 , HMD had % market share in the smartphone market, making it the 11th largest in Europe, and 5th largest in Finland. An IDC analyst called it a "great start."^[] According to Counterpoint Research on 1 December , – the first anniversary of HMD – the company was the 8th largest mobile phone vendor in the world (this includes both smartphones and feature phones). It was ranked 5th in India, 4th in Russia, 3rd in the UK, and 1st in the Middle East.^[] It also became the 4th vendor in Germany as of Q3 ^[]

million Nokia smartphones were sold in the first half of ,^[] up from virtually zero the year before.

In Q4 , HMD was the best-selling mobile phone vendor overall in Vietnam and most Middle Eastern countries, and also the no. 1 feature phone vendor worldwide. It was also the 3rd best-selling smartphone vendor in the UK, the first time for the Nokia brand since ^[] In Q3 , HMD had the biggest year-on-year sales growth of 71% to million units shipped that quarter, making it the 9th largest smartphone vendor worldwide.^[]

In Q2 , HMD sold million smartphones, up from million in Q2 ^[]

Operation[edit]

Staff[edit]

The CEO and presidency role is fulfilled by Florian Seiche, formerly Nokia Europe's senior vice president of sales and marketing, who also had stints at Siemens, Orange and HTC.^[] The original CEO was Arto Nummela, who joined Nokia in and served in several positions including product creation and portfolio before moving to Microsoft Mobile when it was formed ^[] On 19 July Nummela left the company by "mutual agreement", leading to the president, Seiche, to become acting CEO.^[][]

On 15 August , Pekka Rantala, former CEO of Rovio Entertainment, became HMD's chief marketing officer,^[] commenting that Nokia will "rise again." Rantala previously held several positions at Nokia from to such as leader of Nokia's European operations.^[][]

Headquarters[edit]

HMD were originally based at Building 2 of the Nokia Campus in Karaportti in Espoo, Finland, opposite Nokia Corporation's headquarters.^[] In November , HMD moved to a new premises 3&#;km (&#;mi) away in Bertel Jungin aukio, a square named after former Finnish-Swede architect Bertel Jung.^[] The same building also houses TNS Mobile Oy, a subsidiary of FIH Mobile which distributes HMD Global's products.^[28] HMD's other main offices are located in London, England; Noida, India and Dubai, UAE.^[]

Changes

• Fix a severe performance problem which occurred in version when there were long running Unix tasks in the Job Completions and Running Jobs reports.
• Improve performance of the Dataset Activity report by allowing you to specify the types of activity to include, and excluding read activity i.e. SMF type 14 by default. This can significantly reduce the amount of data that needs to be read to generate the report.
• Columns in the tabular reports now autosize based on the data, including the column header. To disable autosize for a column, drag the column border to change the width. To re-enable, right click the header and select &#;Best Fit&#;.
• Fix some formatting issues in the Job Detail report.

Changes

• Rework the user interface for high resolution/high DPI screens i.e. where the Windows scale or font size is greater than %.

• Type 30 Job Completions reports and Running Jobs reports show parent-child relationships for Unix work. A z/OS job can potentially spawn thousands of sub-tasks that run in different address spaces and write their own type 30 records. The parent-child relationship allows you to see where these tasks came from and see the resource usage captured in other task SMF records.
• Add a Unix Work report. This report is shows parent-child relationships in a similar way to the Job Completions report, except that it only shows z/OS Unix work and it lists all process ids from the SMF Unix Process sections. This means you can find a specific process id in the SMF data and see which job it belonged to.
• Improved reporting of CPU information. A number of reports were changed so CPU usage was broken down by CPU type i.e. CP, zIIP instead of TCB and SRB values.
• Add zEDC statistics to the Job CPU report.
• Add PDS/E, compression and encryption statistics to the Non-VSAM Statistics report.
• Add parsing for an alternate FTP listing format.
• Issue progress messages when loading from the command line.
• Fix a bug where a repository entry could not be deleted if the data file was missing.
• Fix a bug where an empty chart was displayed incorrectly.
• Fix a bug where no CPU Busy% was calculated when running under VM with the VMGUEST RMF option.
• Fix a bug where the time range description was not updated when the end time of the selected range was changed.
• Fix a crash if a report is scrolled while a new report is loading.

Changes

• Fix an error where the Export Data function did not truncate an existing output file. If the export wrote less data than was contained in the original file you would typically encounter errors e.g. invalid or wrong length block, wrong length record or invalid packed decimal data when processing the file, as the process read past the last exported record into a random location in the old data.

• Add columns for OA USERKEY COMMON MIGRATION SUPPORT to the Running Jobs report. This will flag User Key CSA, User Key CADS or User Key CHANGKEY for jobs without waiting for them to end i.e. STCs which are probably the most likely to create this storage. The columns are also added to the Step Completions report in case the storage is created by a multi step job.
• Add z14 formulas for type data.

Changes

• Fix a problem where some report check boxes needed to be unchecked and checked before they were effective.
• Fix an error with invalid range names for some columns when exporting data to Excel.
• Fix a crash in job summary reports when a job produced multiple type 30 subtype 5 records but the first record was not present in the data.
• Add columns to the Job Memory Information report to display flags introduced by APAR OA USERKEY COMMON MIGRATION SUPPORT. Columns User Key CSA, User Key CADS or User Key CHANGKEY will show if the job attempted to obtain user key common storage, but ONLY if the User Key Audit column shows the function is enabled.

Version includes a major rewrite of the code to select systems for reports and consequential changes to the linking between reports. Previously, EasySMF assumed that the SYSNAME was the same as the SMFID which is frequently the case but not always. In addition, the SYSNAME may not be unique &#; there are customers with multiple systems with same SYSNAME.

This required extensive changes particularly to report linking because there are e.g. some reports where the SYSNAME is known but not the SMFID, others where the SMFID is known but not the SYSNAME. Please report any bugs where this doesn&#;t seem to be behaving properly.

Systems must have a unique SMFID within an EasySMF repository. Multiple systems with the same SMFID can be handled by creating separate EasySMF data repositories.

Changes

• Handle cases where the SYSNAME is different from the SMFID, and where multiple systems have the same SYSNAME.
• Fix a crash in the Unix File Activity record when the record did not include a reader start date.
• Improved reporting of CPU times: Report &#;Derived CPU&#; where possible, which is CPU time calculated from service units. This allows better resolution than the 1/ second times recorded in many SMF CPU time fields.
• Change the Non-VSAM Statistics report so it no longer uses context sensitive columns, because these cause data to appear and disappear and are confusing.
• Support z/OS changes to the SMF header for record types greater than
• Fix a problem where the program EasySMFLoad (for batch loading SMF data into the repository) would fail if the .NET Framework was not present i.e. more recent Windows systems where higher levels were delivered and was not installed.

The major change for version 3 is that EasySMF is now a 64 bit application on 64 bit Windows systems.

This should reduce or eliminate Out of Memory errors, however beware of severe performance issues if memory usage increases to a large percentage of installed RAM. This is due to the interaction between .NET garbage collection and system paging. Garbage collection needs to examine all the allocated memory to track links between live objects. If there is more virtual memory allocated than can be brought into real memory, the system will spend all its time paging memory in and out instead of doing productive work.

Previously, the limits of a 32 bit address space meant that an Out of Memory error would be encountered before this happened on a typical (i.e. 4GB+) PC. Now the program may appear to hang and become unresponsive. We are working to improve the behavior in this situation.

Other changes:

• Fix crashes or bad reports in reports that need a system to be specified if a wildcard is entered that does not match any systems.
• Add &#;Gets&#; to VSAM Statistics
• Add new rolling 4 hour average reports.
  4 hour averages can be viewed by System and physical processor, as well as broken down by Service Class, Report Class and Importance from type 72 records, and Job from type 30 records.
  This allows a much more detailed view of what actually contributed to your 4 hour average.
• Replace In and Ready Address Space report with a CPU Queuing report. This report shows median, 10th and 90th percentiles for CPU queue from type 70 record data.
• Add a System Configuration report. This report shows number of LPARs, machine type, weights, online CPUs etc. to give an overall picture of the configuration.
• Fix CPU busy by service/report class reports, where zIIP etc. CPU time was calculated incorrectly if zIIPs were a different speed to the CP.
  zIIP service units needed to be scaled before comparison to CP service units.

Version:

• Add the ability to filter Job Reports by Job Class.
• Add reports for Job Class Statistics and Service by Job Class
• Add blank entry to parameter drop down lists so that a value can be cleared using the mouse.
• Trigger report update when a parameter drop down closes.
• Allow multiple values to be specified in a filter using a vertical bar, e.g. A*|B* means A* or B*.
• Change parameter fields to use a fixed font so that complex parameters are easier to read.
• Security fix: When using TLS for the file transfer, the host name was not validated against the certificate.
• Reduce the memory usage for loading data.
• Fix a crash if an invalid regular expression was entered in a parameter field.
• Fix a crash in certain circumstances when a report had no data points.
• When trying to connect using Unconditional Mode TLS the connect fails with the message:
  A standardservices.com.pkernalException occurred while recieving a reply.
  Add a comment to the documentation that
  SECUREIMPLICITZOS FALSE
  needs to be set on the z/OS system for unconditional mode TLS.
• Fix a bug where a report parameter change can&#;t be cancelled with ESC if there was no previous value.
• Fix a standardservices.com.pkadexception for standardservices.com.pk when loading data from the command line using EasySMFLoad on a system with .NET Framework 4 but without .NET framework
• The default time range for the Job Profile report was confusing because it would change to the job start to end time. This is confusing if you are trying to compare job CPU usage with system CPU usage etc.
  The Job Profile report will now use the current time range.
  When clicking through to Job Profile from job list reports, the time range will still be changed to job start to end time, however the time range may be slightly greater as it will only be set with 1 minute granularity.
  The user can still zoom in to the Job Profile report to set a smaller time range.
• Rename the Job Status During Interval report to Running Jobs to make it clearer what this report shows.
  Also the Running Jobs and Job Profile reports are moved higher in the menu so they are easier to find.
• Job Profile report: If no job is selected the first STC found will be shown to avoid a blank report.
• Fix incorrect CPU usage reports from broken RMF records.
• Change CPU busy calculations to support SMT on z13 processors.
• Modify file transfer processing to fix severe slowdown with very fast transfer speed from host.
• Fix crashes or bad reports in reports that need a system to be specified if a wildcard is entered that does not match any systems.

Download version

Version:

• Add feature to automatically delete data older than a specified time. Data can be kept for a minimum time after loading so that old data is not immediately eligible for standardservices.com.pk age can be specified based on record type and subtype.
• When installing/running under Windows 8, use the Windows 8 .NET framework version instead of downloading an older version.
• Allow filters/wildcards to be used to exclude data e.g. -SYS1* means anything but SYS1*
• Add CPU usage information to the Jobs by Jobname report.
• Fix a hang due to a race condition with FTP replies during disconnection (only likely with very fast response from the FTP server)
• Fix a bug in the code to scan repository block times where a block wth correct times would be rechecked each time.

Version:

• Add TCP keepalive option to FTP command channel so it is not disconnected during long file transfers.
• Add the ability to read Gzip compressed data via FTP, and to read data from HFS files.
• Add samples to compress data into Gzip format using Gzip and Java.
• Add sample to load from z/OS batch job using Dovetailed Technologies Co:Z Hybrid Batch (Co:Z Launcher + Dataset Pipes)

Download version

Version:

• Performance improvement: Fix a bug where unnecessary data was being read for standardservices.com.pk: After installing this update, the repository will be scanned in the background to update information about the SMF record times in the catalog. The scan can be interrupted i.e. by closing EasySMF and will resume at the point it stopped the next time the repository is standardservices.com.pk installation which loads data into the repository also needs to be updated (e.g. an automated load on another PC).

The Nokia Z Launcher app is compatible with smartphones running Android or higher, and is not optimised for Android tablets. At present, Nokia is testing the Z Launcher on the Google Nexus 5 (Review | Pictures), Samsung Galaxy S III (Review | Pictures), Galaxy S4 (Review | Pictures), and Galaxy S5 (Review | Pictures). In order to download the launcher app, users will have to sign up with their Google account first.

The Nokia Z Launcher is named after one of its key features that lets user write a letter in order to search for anything directly from the launcher screen. Nokia calls it 'Scribble', a feature that can search anything on the phone "in as little as one second." With Scribble, users just need to draw the first letter of the search and it finds the related app, contact or task.

When the Z Launcher will be installed, users will see the time, date and one upcoming calendar event at the top of the home screen. Just like other launchers, with a tap on time will open Android's clock app and tapping the calendar event will open the Calendar app. Other than that rest of the screen is acquired by few apps, contacts and web pages.

(Also see: The Rise and Rise of Android Launchers)

"We're releasing the first version of Z Launcher with a limited number of downloads initially, to see how it works and learn from your feedback. In the next few months we'll provide updates on new versions, features and availability", noted Brook Eaton, Lead Product Manager on Z Launcher's blog.
