Translate each of the logicals from the system table if it exists, otherwise use the defaults. Increase default quota for direct I/O, file_limit, enqueue limit, queue limit, adver_buffer_limit, and adver_max_working_set. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLERK_STOP.COM Included file SYS$MANAGER:NET$DNS_CLERK_STOP.NCL - No changes, include for compatibility. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DECNET_REGISTER.EXE: - No changes, include for compatibility. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DTSS$SET_TIMEZONE.EXE - Included for compatibility with DTSS$SERVICE. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DTSS$SERVICE.EXE - Correct PGFIPLHI crash on startup. Insure that any linkages which may be touched at an elevated IPL are in a page which is locked. - Prevent possible crash on boot in read cluster time. - Resolve error for NCLSHR when using NET$CONFGIURE Option 5. - Add support for EB and EI device types. - Prevent the clerk from sending advertisements when the cache is purged. - Add a system logical NET$DISABLE_DTSS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:DTSS$SHR.EXE (VAX only, remove from Alpha) - Included for compatibility with DTSS$SERVICE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DTSS$STARTUP.COM: - Included for compatibility with NET$STARTUP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DTSS$TIMEZONE_RULES.DAT: - Change DTSS British time zone rule from 4th Sunday in October to 5th Sunday in October. - Modify Australia and New Zealand for the 2001 time zone rules. NET$CONFIGURE.COM must be run to update these rules. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:LES$LES_V30.EXE - Item list definitions had to be harmonized between VAX and Alpha to prevent system crashes on Alpha. - Prevent crash in LES$LPD_DONE when running SNA TE session over a QLLC link. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NCL.EXE - Correct ASSIGN/USER output to one file (VAX only). - Correct default entity and global parsing vector when the initial connect attempt failed. - Add check to make sure that LIBOTS code is resident on startup. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCLSHR: - Modify UIC format of an end user specification filter to return the %NCL-E-BADVALUE error when necessary. - Suppress "getlist" error on NCL SHOW displays -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$ACP.EXE: - Include for compatitiblity with CDI$SHR. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ALIAS.EXE - Correction for incoming selection weight on objects. - Modify the object lock conversion for alias enable. - Prevent Round Robin queue corruption. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$CCR.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$MOP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$CONFIGURE.COM: - Modify error handling on temporary files. - Prevent %RMS-W-RTB, byte record too large for user's buffer. - Correct password generation. - A reboot is no longer required after running NET$CONFIGURE to configure DECnet-Plus for the very first time. - On Phase IV migration of FDDI routing circuits change type to "FDDI". - Modify fast configuration to enable CSMA-CD or FDDI STATIONS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:NET$CONVERT_DATABASE.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$CONFIGURE. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE: - Prevent possible application RWAST or network device hangs with QIOUCB$V_closeassocdone. Double close associations precipitated this modification. Both QIO_EXECUTE and QIO_COMPLETION were modified to add a new bit to check if the association has already been closed and if the channel can be deallocated. - Modify disconnect data counted string to emulate Phase IV behavior of stepping on the first byte of user data to make it a counted string IF the user application did not supply this necessary count. - Correct ExecuteDeaccess code latency when the connection was not yet in the run state and it was aborted.

The global filter will block the following events by default: ((node,csma,station), unrecognized multicast destination pdu) ((node,csma,station), unavailable station buffer) ((node,fddi,station,link), unrecognized multicast pdu destination) If you do not want these events blocked by default at creation time, create a new SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL by copying the NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE and include appropriate commands to pass one or more of these events. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE: - If a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL was previously created from the old NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE, then your site-specific NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL should be edited to remove the following duplicate block command: BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream GLOBAL FILTER ((NODE,MOP,CIRCUIT), Unrecognized Dump Client). - Since new filters now block the CSMA and FDDI events by default, the following pass commands have been added: !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER - ! ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unrecognized Multicast Destination PDU) !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER - ! ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unavailable Station Buffer) !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER - ! ((NODE,FDDI,STATION,LINK), Unrecognized Multicast PDU Destination) If you have previously created a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script by copying the old .TEMPLATE, regardless of whether you choose to use these commands or not, please update that site-specific NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP: - Prevent KRNSTAKNV crash with DECthreads changes in V7.2-1. - Rewrite MOP CCR RunConsole and improve performance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$MOPS0.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$MOP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$NISCS_LAA.EXE: - Alpha only - Permit loads from devices using SCSI PACs (Port Allocation Classes). - Prevent KRNLSKNV crash during load with host based shadowed disk. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSDRIVER.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$DRIVER. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$PROCESS_EMAA.EXE: - Include for compatibility with SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES - Prevent possible system crash with a negative or zero entity count in the IVK. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_ES.EXE: - Correct Phase V to Phase IV translation padding on transmit header. - Prevent possible shutdown crash on disable when a WCB contained an unexpected Routing Routine, net$clns_transmit_discard. Clear the CLNS_CDB before deleting the TSEL in the CLNS port close. - Prevent invalid NSAP on initial ES hello message by checking the area address and not the HIORD of the NSAP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_IS.EXE: - Prevent possible crash with X.25 PVCs. - X.25 circuit enable code was modified to prevent possible corruption if the X.25 channel was disconnected. - Raise the maximum allowed circuits from 20 to 40. - Modify the use of R9 to avoid corruption in LES (Alpha only). - Prevent Alias shutdown crash when the alias port was deallocated. - Correct Alias forwarding logic. - Remove possible alias_IDdisable forced bugcheck. - Prevent possible system crash in net$fwd_pkt_GetBuffer. - Prevent shutdown crash if the CDB went away before the routing filter was removed. - Insure forwarding buffer queue synchronization by adding IOLOCK8. - Modify alias forwarding to prevent the "transmit queue length" from becoming negative, and subsequent packets from being discarded. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$SDA.EXE: - Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes. - Add updates for TPCONS, X25 Relay, and XOT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$SERVER.EXE: Image Identification: "V7.2-1ECO03" 28-MAR-2001 15:01:00.64 - Prevent possible %IPC-F-DCLSRVFAIL when the NETSERVER$TIMEOUT is set to zero. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE: - Conditionalize out SCL spinlock checking because this check is now obsolete. - Pevent crash in NET$ACP from a bad DECdns and CDI cache entry. A stale pointer in DNSResult[DNSREQ$A_Pointer] with ACP$CheckBackTransTask could cause a double deallocation. - Resolve SMP PGFIPLHI trying to access an EIB port that no longer existed. - Include proxy information for use by LOGINOUT with SYSGEN parameter, NET_CALLOUTS 255. - Alpha only use the name string from the PSB instead of GETJPI. - Prevent possible shutdown crash when the component is in the OFF state. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$SHUTDOWN.COM: - Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN from aborting when a NET process logical was defined. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE: - Prevent possible system crash on a disconnect indication. - Remove statetable bugchecks. - Include VCIB sanity checks in all locations which fork to a completion routine since it is theoretically possible for an I/O completion after port deletion in any of these routines. - Correct a design problem to allow for very long latency in TCP/IP Services between the transmit request and the actual completion, if there are any problems in TCP/IP delivering the data message. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRACER: - Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE: - Prevent a remote TCID from attempting to be reused for a connection if the previous connection failed to be deaccessed. - Corrected the possible delivery of protocol errors with disconnect data. If the user string (P2) is not a counted string this will now be included on behalf of the user. Phase IV did this previously, but removed the first byte of the user data while making it counted. - Allow the maximum transport connections to be extended as high as 65535 without exceeding the size of the TCTB table. - Allow a connection to be disconnected immediately for a dysfunctional link rather then waiting for the timeouts to complete. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE: - Modify state tables such that if the port is in a WFNC state and receives a DR or DC, just ignore the message rather then bugcheck. - Correct restraint mode window. - Correct default packet size when remote fails to set the size. - Prevent OSITP retransmission timeouts with zero credit. - Prevent OSITP premature port deallocation. - Prevent received NSDU negative byte count crash when OSITP made a request for a buffer with this invalid size. - Change the action routine on a TPDU error in a WFNC (wait for network confirm) state to ACT$P_TPDUERR rather then bugcheck. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:NET$STARTUP.COM: - Remove any requirement for LOCAL on DECdns servers. - Prevent PGFIPLHI when Autogen does not complete and LIBOTS code is not properly mapped into memory. If LIBOTS is not resident then have the network startup fail with NET$STARTUP_STATUS set to OFF-AUTOGENREQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE: Image Identification: "V7.2-1ECO03" 21-MAR-2001 15:10:45.11 - Update VCIBDEF.SDL to register new VCI ID for XOT. - Bump up maximum file size of NET$CONFIG.DAT file from 100 to 125. - Update ECO number in DECnet version "050D04". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections for VAX P.S.I and Wide Area Device Drivers Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:PSI$LLC2.EXE: - Modify response to DM while link is up ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:PSI$L3CS.EXE: - Do not pass generated ISO extensions over GAP - Modify X.29 filter priority ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:PSI$L3CS-NMD.EXE: - Corrections listed above for PSI$L3CS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:SLDRIVER.EXE: - Modify DSB receiver code following an auto-reload ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:WANDD$DEVICE.EXE: - Remove race condition in enable with auto-load true that prevented a subsequent load from completing on some fast machines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:PSI$CONFIGURE.EXE: - Provide support for DPGXET profile -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECdns Update ECO 72 Update to SYS$COMMON:[SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES]SYS$NAME_SERVICES.EXE: Problems Corrected (DECdns ECO 73): o Include cache rollover correction, poolcheck and read permanent decnet database to get local towerset. o Add support for new trace code. o Add support for EB and EI device types. o Brann Cache Calculation modified to accomodate cache sizes in a large memory environment. Problems Corrected (DECdns ECO 72): o Prevents NSAP's with a prefix of %x49 from being inserted in the cache if the configured prefix is other than %x49. Also, there is a correction to preserve the STICKY bit in the cache, if it was previously set, when the address of an item in the cache is updated. o Prevents the DNS$ADVER process from crashing when a "SHOW DNS CLERK REMOTE CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command is issued. This problem sometimes appears as hang to the user when a command similar to the one shown above is issued. o Added the ability to define the following logical names in the system logical name table: DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT DNS$ADVER_BUFFER_LIMIT DNS$ADVER_EXTENT DNS$ADVER_MAX_WORKING_SET DNS$ADVER_PAGE_FILE These logical names correspond to qualifiers on the RUN statement which are described in the OpenVMS documentation. If any of these logical names are defined at the time the DNS$ADVER process starts up, then the values defined for these logical names are used instead of the default quotas. Typically, these logical names are defined in the file: SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM This is necessary because the logical names need to be defined before the DNS$ADVER process starts up. One reason for using these logical names is if you have a system is configured with more than two ethernet controllers. Another reason is to define increased quota for the DNS$ADVER process when you receive a message on the console during startup that the DNS cache is not initialized (DNS$_NOCACHE,"Clerk cache not initialized"). Selected default quotas for the DNS$ADVER process have also been increased for the ECO 72. The selected quotas that have been increased include direct I/0, enqueue limit, queue limit, buffer limit and maximum_working_set. o Corrected the clerk treewalk algorithm to prevent the algorithm from failing to find the desired clearinghouse to satisfy the name lookup request. Typically, the symptom of this problem was the return status of DNS$_NOCOMMUNICATIONS on a "SHOW CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command when the clerk should have been able to connect the proper clearinghouse. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New NCL Global Section Internal Request 4-JAN-2000 Scott Wattum Internal Request 4-Mar-2000 Julian Pullen Update made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCL$GLOBALSECTION.DAT: Updates for X.25 on OpenVMS Alpha and X.400 have been included. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated NCL Help File Update made to SYS$HELP:NCLHELP.HLB -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates made to SYS$LIBRARY:OSAK$OSAKSHR.EXE: File Identification: "OSAK V3.0-007O" 23-JAN-2001 15:33:04.14 Change OSAK state machine to transition into STA01B (transport connecting) before calling the routine that requests the transport connection.

Typically, these logical names are defined in the file: SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM This is necessary because the logical names need to be defined before the DNS$ADVER process starts up. One reason for using these logical names is if you have a system is configured with more than two ethernet controllers. Another reason is to define increased quota for the DNS$ADVER process when you receive a message on the console during startup that the DNS cache is not initialized (DNS$_NOCACHE, "Clerk cache not initialized"). Selected default quotas for the DNS$ADVER process have also been increased for the ECO 72. The selected quotas that have been increased include direct I/0, enqueue limit, queue limit, buffer limit and maximum_working_set. o Corrected the clerk treewalk algorithm to prevent the algorithm from failing to find the desired clearinghouse to satisfy the name lookup request. Typically, the symptom of this problem was the return status of DNS$_NOCOMMUNICATIONS on a "SHOW CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command when the clerk should have been able to connect the proper clearinghouse. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- D. New NCL Global Section Update made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCL$GLOBALSECTION.DAT: Updates for X.25 on OpenVMS Alpha and X.400 have been included. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- E. Updated NCL Help File Update made to SYS$HELP:NCLHELP.HLB Problems Addressed in DNVOSI_E01072: A. Corrections for Base Components o Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DECNET_MIGRATE.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$CONFIGURE.COM o Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLERK_STARTUP.COM: - Add DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT logical and increase clerk quotas. Translate each of the logicals from the system table if it exists, otherwise use the defaults. Increase default quota for direct I/O, file_limit, enqueue limit, queue limit, adver_buffer_limit, and adver_max_working_set. o Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLERK_STOP.COM - Included file SYS$MANAGER:NET$DNS_CLERK_STOP.NCL - No changes, include for compatibility. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DECNET_REGISTER.EXE: - No changes, include for compatibility. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DTSS$SET_TIMEZONE.EXE - Included for compatibility with DTSS$SERVICE. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DTSS$SERVICE.EXE - Correct PGFIPLHI crash on startup. Insure that any linkages which may be touched at an elevated IPL are in a page which is locked. - Prevent possible crash on boot in read cluster time. o Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:DTSS$SHR.EXE - Included for compatibility with DTSS$SERVICE. o Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DTSS$STARTUP.COM: - Included for compatibility with NET$STARTUP. o Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DTSS$TIMEZONE_RULES.DAT: - Change DTSS British time zone rule from 4th Sunday in October to 5th Sunday in October. NET$CONFIGURE.COM must be run to update these rules. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NCL.EXE - Correct ASSIGN/USER output to one file (VAX only). o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NCL.EXE - Correct default entity and global parsing vector when the initial connect attempt failed. o Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCLSHR: - Modify UIC format of an end user specification filter to return the %NCL-E-BADVALUE error when necessary. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$ACP.EXE: - Include for compatitiblity with CDI$SHR. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ALIAS.EXE - Correction for incoming selection weight on objects. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$CCR.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$MOP. o Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$CONFIGURE.COM: - Modify error handling on temporary files. o Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:NET$CONVERT_DATABASE.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$CONFIGURE. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE: - Prevent possible application RWAST or network device hangs with QIOUCB$V_closeassocdone. Double close associations precipitated this modification. Both QIO_EXECUTE and QIO_COMPLETION were modified to add a new bit to check if the association has already been closed and if the channel can be deallocated. - Modify disconnect data counted string to emulate Phase IV behavior of stepping on the first byte of user data to make it a counted string IF the user application did not supply this necessary count. o Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$EVD_RELAY_FORMATTER: - Include for compatiblity with NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER: - Create new filters to block the following CSMA and FDDI events to correct the command RESET EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM. The global filter will block the following events by default: ((node,csma,station), unrecognized multicast destination pdu) ((node,csma,station), unavailable station buffer) ((node,fddi,station,link), unrecognized multicast pdu destination) If you do not want these events blocked by default at creation time, create a new SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL by copying the NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE and include appropriate commands to pass one or more of these events. o Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE: - If a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL was previously created from the old NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE, then your site-specific NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL should be edited to remove the following duplicate block command: BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream GLOBAL FILTER ((NODE,MOP,CIRCUIT), Unrecognized Dump Client). - Since new filters now block the CSMA and FDDI events by default, the following pass commands have been added: !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER - ! ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unrecognized Multicast Destination PDU) !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER - ! ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unavailable Station Buffer) !PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER - ! ((NODE,FDDI,STATION,LINK), Unrecognized Multicast PDU Destination) If you have previously created a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script by copying the old .TEMPLATE, regardless of whether you choose to use these commands or not, please update that site-specific NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP: - Prevent KRNSTAKNV crash with DECthreads changes in V7.2-1. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$MOPS0.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$MOP. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSDRIVER.EXE: - Include for compatibility with NET$DRIVER. o Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$PROCESS_EMAA.EXE: - Include for compatibility with SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_ES.EXE: - Correct Phase V to Phase IV translation padding on transmit header. - Prevent possible shutdown crash on disable when a WCB contained an unexpected Routing Routine, net$clns_transmit_discard. Clear the CLNS_CDB before deleting the TSEL in the CLNS port close. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_IS.EXE: - Prevent possible crash with X.25 PVCs. - X.25 circuit enable code was modified to prevent possible corruption if the X.25 channel was disconnected. - Raise the maximum allowed circuits from 20 to 40. - Modify the use of R9 to avoid corruption in LES (Alpha only). - Prevent Alias shutdown crash when the alias port was deallocated. - Correct Alias forwarding logic. o Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$SDA.EXE: - Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE: - Conditionalize out SCL spinlock checking because this check is now obsolete. - Pevent crash in NET$ACP from a bad DECdns and CDI cache entry. A stale pointer in DNSResult[DNSREQ$A_Pointer] with ACP$CheckBackTransTask could cause a double deallocation. o Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$SHUTDOWN.COM: - Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN from aborting when a NET process logical was defined. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE: - Prevent possible system crash on a disconnect indication. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRACER: - Update for compatibility with OpenVMS V7.2-1 changes. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE: - Prevent a remote TCID from attempting to be reused for a connection if the previous connection failed to be deaccessed. - Corrected the possible delivery of protocol errors with disconnect data. If the user string (P2) is not a counted string this will now be included on behalf of the user. Phase IV did this previously, but removed the first byte of the user data while making it counted. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE: - Modify state tables such that if the port is in a WFNC state and receives a DR or DC, just ignore the message rather then bugcheck. - Correct restraint mode window. - Correct default packet size when remote fails to set the size. - Prevent OSITP retransmission timeouts with zero credit. o Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:NET$STARTUP.COM: - Remove any requirement for LOCAL on DECdns servers. B. Corrections for VAX P.S.I and Wide Area Device Drivers o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:PSI$LLC2.EXE: - Modify response to DM while link is up o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:PSI$L3CS.EXE: - Do not pass generated ISO extensions over GAP - Modify X.29 filter priority o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:PSI$L3CS-NMD.EXE: - Corrections listed above for PSI$L3CS. o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:SLDRIVER.EXE: - Modify DSB receiver code following an auto-reload o Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:WANDD$DEVICE.EXE: - Remove race condition in enable with auto-load true that prevented a subsequent load from completing on some fast machines. o Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:PSI$CONFIGURE.EXE: - Provide support for DPGXET profile C. DECdns Update ECO 72 o Update to SYS$COMMON:[SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES]SYS$NAME_SERVICES.EXE: - Prevents NSAP's with a prefix of %x49 from being inserted in the cache if the configured prefix is other than %x49. Also, there is a correction to preserve the STICKY bit in the cache, if it was previously set, when the address of an item in the cache is updated. - Prevents the DNS$ADVER process from crashing when a "SHOW DNS CLERK REMOTE CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command is issued. This problem sometimes appears as hang to the user when a command similar to the one shown above is issued. - Added the ability to define the following logical names in the system logical name table: DNS$ADVER_AST_LIMIT DNS$ADVER_BUFFER_LIMIT DNS$ADVER_EXTENT DNS$ADVER_MAX_WORKING_SET DNS$ADVER_PAGE_FILE These logical names correspond to qualifiers on the RUN statement which are described in the OpenVMS documentation. If any of these logical names are defined at the time the DNS$ADVER process starts up, then the values defined for these logical names are used instead of the default quotas.

Typically, the symptom of this problem was the return status of DNS$_NOCOMMUNICATIONS on a "SHOW CLEARINGHOUSE ..." command when the clerk should have been able to connect the proper clearinghouse. D. New NCL Global Section o Update made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCL$GLOBALSECTION.DAT: - Updates for X.25 on OpenVMS Alpha have been included. E. Updated NCL Help File o Update made to SYS$HELP:NCLHELP.HLB INSTALLATION NOTES: Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility (PCSI) by logging into the SYSTEM account, and entering the following command at the DCL prompt: $ PRODUCT INSTALL DNVOSIECO03/SOURCE=[location of the .PCSI file] Note that you can use the DECwindows Motif interface to PCSI if you wish. For the corrections to take effect, the system must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire cluster must be rebooted. The reboot can be postponed if it is not convenient; however, the new driver(s) will not take effect until after a reboot. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
