PTHREADS-VMS ALPTHREADS_03071 OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 Java JDK Support ECO Summary
TITLE: PTHREADS-VMS ALPTHREADS_03071 OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 Java JDK Support 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 Java JDK Support for DECThreads on OpenVMS
Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2.  This kit addresses the following
problems: 

Problems addressed in ALPTHREADS_03071:

  o  This kit updates the DECthreads environment for OpenVMS
     Alpha V7.1 with new support required to run the Java JDK     
     kit.  The  new support encompasses major structural          
     changes to DECthreads,  including fixes for performance      
     issues.                                                      

  o  Because of new interdependencies between the PTHREAD$RTL and
     CMA$TIS_SHR images, the minor idents for both images have been     
     bumped for this kit.  As a result, threaded applications built     
     against the updated threads images will NOT run correctly on       
     standard V7.1 systems.  Therefore, Digital recommends that         
     threaded applications intended for use on V7.1 NOT be built        
     on systems where this kit has been installed.

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:

If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool.  If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and
review the article entitled: 

     [AES] How To Electronically Request ECO Kits Using Service Tools


INSTALLATION NOTES:

Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the
SYSTEM account and typing the following at the DCL prompt:              
                                                                 
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL ALPTHREADS_0371 [saveset location]              
                                                                 
The saveset location can be a tape drive or a disk directory that       
contains the kit saveset. Note that the installation will require       
a minimum of 10000 free blocks on the system disk.  Much of this        
space is needed only during the installation as system libraries        
are being updated.  Space can be recovered after installation by        
purging the system disk to remove files that are replaced by the        
installation procedure.                                                 
                                                                 
The system should be rebooted after the successful                      
installation of the update kit.  If you have other nodes                
in your OpenVMS Cluster sharing a common system disk, they              
should also be rebooted in order make use of the new                    
images.

\
\ IMAGE/PATCH DESCRIPTION:
\
\ NOTE:  To obtain the checksum information (in hexadecimal) for an 
\        image, use the undocumented/unsupported command:
\
\             $ CHECKSUM /IMAGE 
\
\        To obtain the checksum information (in decimal) for a file           
\        that is not a native VMS image, use the commands:                    
\        
\             $ CHECKSUM 
\             $ SHOW SYMBOL CHECKSUM$CHECKSUM
