HP Services Software Patches - vaxqman04_070
 
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 (patch) kit exists for the Queue Manager and Job Controller
on OpenVMS VAX V7.0.  This kit addresses the following problems:

Problems addressed in VAXQMAN04_070 for OpenVMS VAX V7.0:

  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 VAXQMAN03_070 for OpenVMS VAX 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 VAXQMAN02_070 for OpenVMS VAX 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 VAXQMAN01_070 for OpenVMS VAX 7.0:

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