Cover Letter for ALL-IN-1 Office Server Options for OpenVMS AXP and 
OpenVMS VAX V3.1 ECO Kit A1ADA_ECO01031.A.


ECO Kit A1ADA_ECO01031 Description
---------------------------------

This ECO kit contains a selection of code-level fixes for the 'AIDA' 
component of ALL-IN-1 Version 3.1. If a patched system is later upgraded 
to TLC V2.5, the fixes supplied by patch A1ADA_ECO01031 will be lost. Under 
these circumstances this patch kit should be reapplied after the upgrade.

The A1ADA_ECO01031 Release Notes contain a complete explanation of this 
release. Below is a brief description:

    o  Problem 1 - AIDA server problems on OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha V6.2

        TeamLinks users are unable to access system distribution lists
        resident on ALL-IN-1 V3.1 systems running OpenVMS VAX or OpenVMS Alpha
        V6.2 or later. This problem only occurs when Distributed Directory
        Services (DDS) is also being accessed by the AIDA server. Similarly
        TeamLinks users are unable to access certain datasets, where these
        are being referenced using the users default VMS privileges.

    o  Problem 2 - AIDA Server problems due to low resources

        This patch introduces a resource monitor to watch resource utilization
        levels, and issue warnings to the log file when they reach set
        boundaries.

        The monitor runs periodically, once a minute by default. To change 
        this length of this period, use the logical OA$AIDA_QUOTA_INTERVAL. 
        For its value, specify the length, in seconds, of the monitor period 
        you want to use. For example, to set the monitor period to 90 seconds,
        define the logical name as follows:

          $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE OA$AIDA_QUOTA_INTERVAL "90"

        Define this value to "0" to suppress the quota monitoring tool
        altogether.

        The level of remaining resources required before messages are logged
        is 5% by default, but this can be changed using the logical
        OA$AIDA_QUOTA_WARNING_LEVEL. Values between 1 and 99 (inclusive) are
        allowed. Out of range values will result in the default being applied.
        After the message has been logged 5 times the logging is turned off
        and a reply is issued to the ALL-IN-1 manager to warn that the server 
        is low on resources and that the log file should be checked. This 
        reply is issued once in every 10 times that the monitor runs.

        For example, to set the warning level to 10% , define the logical name
        as follows:

          $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE OA$AIDA_QUOTA_WARNING_LEVEL "10"

        You will need to restart the AIDA Server for this change to become
        effective.

        

Installation Overview
---------------------

        Before you install patch A1ADA_ECO01031 you must shut down ALL-IN-1.

        Use the Shutdown ALL-IN-1 (SDA) option on the ALL-IN-1 Administration
        menu (ADM) of the Management subsystem. This will automatically shut
        down your sender and fetcher processes and all servers. 

        See the ALL-IN-1 Management Guide for more details. TeamLinks users
        will be temporarily unable to access the ALL-IN-1 file cabinet.


        There are several stages to installing an ALL-IN-1 IOS V3.1 patch
        kit, which vary according to the configuration of the target system
        and the contents of each patch kit.

        There will always be a primary installation - typically supplying
        revised object modules (.OBJs), revised script files (.SCPs) or
        revised named data for ALL-IN-1 forms (.FRMs).

        To install this patch, log into the SYSTEM account and use the
        command procedure SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL.COM as follows:

        $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
        $ @VMSINSTAL A1ADA_ECO01031 'device'

        where 'device' is the name of the device on which the distribution
        medium will be mounted or the device:directory where you have already
        copied the kit to.

        When the installation has completed successfully repeat the above
        procedure on your second architecture system (if you run ALL-IN-1 on
        a mixed architecture VMScluster).
