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 Queue Manager OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.  This kit 
addresses the following problems:

Problems addressed in ALPQMAN05_070:

  o  BATCH/PRINT problems corrected:                                        
  
     +  The DCL command SHOW QUEUE/MANAGER would hang on some               
        nodes.  The job controller process would hang in the LEF            
        state.                                                              
  
     +  After queue manager failover from VAX to Alpha, the job             
        controller process (on Alpha) hangs in LEF causing the              
        queues on the Alpha system to remain in a starting state.           
        The queues remain there until the job controller is                 
        stopped and restarted.  Also, the SHOW  QUEUE/MANAGER               
        command hangs.                                                      
  
  o  When booting in a new node or failing over the queue manager,          
     the cluster appears to hang.  The job controller continually           
     produces dump files at SYS$SYSTEM:JBC$JOB_CONTROL.DMP.  The            
     error reported in the dump is "feature incompatible with                 
     previous system version".                                                
                                                                              
  o  DCPS-F-STREAMUSE and queue become stuck in starting errors:              
                                                                              
     +  Occasional flagging of a DCPS-F-STREAMUSE error while                 
        starting DCPS queues.                                                 
                                                                              
     +  Print Queues (either LAT, DQS or DCPS) may hang stuck in a            
        starting state.                                                       
  

Problems addressed in ALPQMAN04_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:

  o  Being re-issued to keep Message Routines current with Library
     RTL kit.  There are no new fixes in this kit.


Problems addressed in ALPQMAN03_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:

  o  The ALPQMAN02_070 remedial kit would not install on V6.1 and
     V6.2 OpenVMS Alpha hardware versions.  There are no additional
     problem fixes in this remedial kit.


Problems addressed in ALPQMAN02_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:

  o  Delete/Entry on a starting job fails to stop the job.  The job
     stays in an aborting state and processes to completion.

  o  When F$GETQUI is used at DCL to obtain queue manager information,
     certain combinations of items can hang the process.

  o  The queue manager stops after the following messages are
     issued in OPCOM:

       %%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   8-MAY-1996 14:52:17.83  %%%%%%%%%%%
       Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on HULAW3
       %QMAN-W-LOWMEMORY, the queue manager process may require more
       virtual memory  than is currently available

       %%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   8-MAY-1996 14:53:07.20  %%%%%%%%%%%
       Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on HULAW3
       %QMAN-F-ALLOCMEM, error allocating virtual memory

       %%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   8-MAY-1996 14:53:07.24  %%%%%%%%%%%
       Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on HULAW3
       -LIB-F-INSVIRMEM, insufficient virtual memory

Problems addressed in ALPQMAN01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1,
  V6.1-1H2, V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V7.0:

  o  LATSYM symbiont processes run with less than the maximum
     number of queues assigned.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.

If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they must also be
rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s).  If it is not
possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a
rolling re-boot may be performed.
