OpenVMS VAXLAT02_062 OpenVMS VAX V6.2 LTDRIVER/LATACP/LATCP ECO Summary
NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will
be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for LAT on OpenVMS VAX V6.2. This kit addresses the
following problems:
Problems Addressed in VAXLAT02_062:
o VCRP packets are being overwritten. A new symbol, VCRP_LAN_PKT_LEN,
has been defined to include max VCRP header.
o A CREATE LINE LINK$NAME/DEV=XXA0: command in LATCP can crash
the system.
o After executing the following commands:
LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE1/APPL
LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE2/APPL
LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE3/APPL
LATCP> DELETE SERVICE SERVICE2
LATCP> SET SERVICE SERVICE3/STATIC_RATING=1
the static ratings for services following SERVICE2 can not be
changed.
o Intermittent system hang in LTDRIVER while waiting to access
the ACP queue.
Problems Addressed in VAXLAT01_062:
o If the terminal class driver calls LTDRIVER at the flow change
entry point, (typically done for a SET TERMINAL command),
LTDRIVER will remember it must change the terminal server port
settings if no LAT connection exists. Unfortunately, this is
not a desired side effect for dedicated ports and limited
ports. Note, this will only be seen if a user connects to
OpenVMS from a terminal server port that has REMOTE
MODIFICATION enabled, and if they happen to get the LTA device
with this setting.
o Fix possible CPUSPINWAIT crashes and another crash during LAT
$QIO postprocessing.
o LATACP crashes with PGFIPLHI
o LTDRIVER crashes with INVEXCEPTN
o Some applications use break, through the system service, to
write to their numerous terminals at the same time. When LATCP
is running, the management LTA device created by LATCP is also
broadcast to. This slows done the application to the point
where the application exhausts its byte limit
o An MC LATCP CREATE PORT command with an invalid device name
will crash the system.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
A reboot is necessary after successful installation of this kit. If you
have other nodes in your VMScluster, they should be rebooted or install
