ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for Reliable Transaction Router on OpenVMS VAX V6.1
or higher.  This kit addresses the following problems:

  o  A problem with the algorithm used to scan RTR backend nodes for
     journals belonging to nodes that were currently available could
     cause the RTR ACP process to enter a CPU-bound loop in certain
     multiple facility configurations.  

  o  Failed connection attempts to remote DECnet nodes previously
     resulted in repeated messages being written to the RTR log files 
     (the message text concerns an XTI event requiring attention).  
     These unnecessary messages have been removed.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

Before the installation of this ECO, RTR must be stopped.

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.

The Reliable Transaction Router installation procedure uses the
POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility (PCSI). For details on
using PCSI, refer to the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Section
"Installing with the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility".

The logical name PCSI$SOURCE is used to define the location of the
software kits you want to install. For example, if the Reliable
Transaction Router software is located in DISK1:[KITS], enter the
following at the DCL prompt (or include the line in the system
manager's login command file):

    $ DEFINE PCSI$SOURCE DISK1:[KITS]

When running the installation procedure for Reliable Transaction
Router, you can choose whether to install the ODBC Over RTR Oracle7
Server. This is an RTR server used for supporting ODBC-enabled
applications on Windows. You should not install the ODBC Over RTR
Oracle7 Server unless you already have Oracle7 installed.

To start the installation, type the command:-

  $ PRODUCT INSTALL RTR

You will see a display similar to the following:-

  The following product has been selected:
                DEC VAXVMS RTR V3.1-D135     [Available]

                Do you want to continue? [YES]

  Press .  You may safely accept the installation default
  options.

If you are using RTR in a cluster, you need to execute the following
command

   @SYS$STARTUP:RTR$STARTUP

on all nodes in the cluster other than the installation node.  This
command will be executed by the installation procedure on the
installation node.
