through V6.2. This DNVOSI_E10063 kit addresses the following problems:
The DECnet/OSI Engineering Change Order Release Notes contain a complete
explanation of this release. Corrections have been included for the
following components:
A. Corrections for Base Components
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:CDI$SHR.EXE
o Add support for sticky cache entry.
o Set default cache expiration timer to 0 (ie infinite),
not either 7 or 30 days.
o Convert old V1.0 and V2.2 cache files to V2.3 cache files
to preserve cache with upgrades.
o Allow sticky cache entry even when sys$fullname is not defined.
o ASTs needed to be disabled longer to protect the node information
data structures from being corrupted.
o Modify cache write logic around sticky bit changes.
o Prevent access violations for some string manipulations in
CDI search path.
o Prevent system crash on return to session control with an
invalid node parameter.
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:CTF$DCP.EXE
o Add spinlocks so that two undeclare threads are forced to run
serially in SMP environments.
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NCL.EXE
o CMIP encoding/decoding correction for "CML-E-INVALID_PDU".
o Add support for "With" clause.
o Modifed SetDefaultEntity, SetDefaultAccess and SetDefault routines
to correct memory allocation and new defaults.
Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DECNET_MIGRATE:
o Include COLLECT and SHOW PATH correction for the error
"Unsupported primary directory service."
o Correct MOP Client NCL Script load file name.
Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLERK_STARTUP.COM:
o Allow the user to specify the location of the NCL script
via logical name definitions.
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:DTSS$SHR.EXE
o Modify user callable DTSS routine "mulftime" as this returned
a value that is inaccurate starting with the lsb of the high
order longword, with all lower order longwords being similarly
inaccurate.
Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DTSS$STARTUP.COM:
o Allow the user to specify the location of the NCL script
via logical name definitions.
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DECNET_REGISTER:
o Correct search for Phase IV node name database in SYS$COMMON.
o Use DECdns high confidence to register nodes correctly.
This prevents the error:
%DNS-E-UNKNOWNENTRY, Requested name does not exist.
After the initial error, the node object was deleted, but
the .DNA_BackTranslation was left so that subsequent attempts
to register the node failed with "name already in use".
Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DTSS$INSTALL_TIMEZONE_RULE.COM:
o Prevent procedure from looping if SYS$LOCALTIME is defined to
a value that doesn't exist in the list of valid timezone rules.
Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:DTSS$TIMEZONE_RULES.DAT:
o Change DTSS MET time zone rule for 1996 and 1997
daylight savings time from the last Sunday in September
to the last Sunday in October. NET$CONFIGURE.COM must
o Prevent procedure from looping if SYS$LOCALTIME is defined to
a value that doesn't exist in the list of valid timezone rules.
be run to update the rule.
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NCP
o Prevent possible access violation with proxies.

"SET NODE 0 CSMA-CD STATION MNA-0 STATION BUFFERS 15"
in NET$CSMACD_STARTUP.NCL.
o Add support for the DEFPA device.
o Convert the Phase IV routing maximum visit count of 255 to

the alias task could sometimes get suspended while
holding the object lock in exclusive mode. The solution
is to increase the priority of the alias task.
o Correct alias selection weight of one.
o Correct the format of the Phase V node address in Alias
forwarding packets to prevent logical links from being
unexpectedly aborted.

o Always delete the session association when an incoming
connection times out. If many incoming connections failed
this could eventually lead to a resource exhaustion and
a system crash.

read hung waiting to receive a disconnect with optional data.
o The default retransmits was lowered from 12 to 8 for faster
error detection and recovery.
o NSP connect initiate will be resent every 5 seconds instead
of 10 seconds. This allows NSP to timeout before session by
default even when the remote node is not reachable.
o NSP was corrected to prevent logical links from hanging on
a retransmission of an interrupt message.
o Prevent possible NETNOSTATE bugcheck that was caused by a

INSTALLATION NOTES:
Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility
(PCSI) by logging into the SYSTEM account, and entering the following
command at the DCL prompt:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL DNVOSIECO10/SOURCE=[location of the .PCSI file]
Note that you can use the DECwindows Motif interface to PCSI if you wish.
For the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system must be
rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire
cluster must be rebooted. Rebooting the system can be postponed if
it is not convenient to reboot when the kit is installed. However,
the new driver(s) will not take effect until after a reboot.
Installation Caution
After the installation of this ECO kit, an error in the POLYCENTER
Software Installation (PCSI) prevents installation of the OSAK SPI
Interface V3.0.
The OSAK PCSI installation requires DECnet/OSI V6.3, which causes the
installation process to remove DNVOSIECO10. This situation leaves the
system without a SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE file. Therefore, the system
cannot be rebooted.
You must preserve the original installation order, indicated below.
This will be corrected in a future release.
Installation Order
Place each PCSI kit in a unique source directory
1) DECNET_OSI V6.3 /Source=[KITS.DECNET]
2) OSAK V3.0-L /Source=[KITS.OSAK]
3) FTAM V3.2-F /Source=[KITS.FTAM]
4) DNVOSIECO10 V6.3 /Source=[KITS.ECO]
