These fullnames are then used in the actual proxy system service calls. However, AUTHORIZE doesn't set the PRX$M_BYPASS_EXPAND flag on these calls to indicate that the node names have already been expanded. Therefore, the proxy system services again call the network to convert the node names into their fullnames. This causes un-necessary overhead and performance degradation. 6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL VAXUAF01_070 [location of the saveset] The saveset location may be a tape drive, or a disk directory that contains the kit saveset.
