OpenVMS VAXLAT01_070 OpenVMS VAX V7.0 LTDRIVER/LATACP 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 LAT on OpenVMS VAX V7.0.  This kit addresses the
following problems:

  o  LATACP crashes with PGFIPLHI                                       
                                                                    
  o  LTDRIVER crashes with INVEXCEPTN        
                                                                    
  o  INVEXCEPTN AT LTDRIVER+77B8.            
                                                                    
  o  Some applications use break, through  the  system  service,  to    
     write to their numerous terminals at the same time.  When LATCP    
     is running, the management LTA device created by LATCP is  also    
     broadcast  to.   This  slows  done the application to the point    
     where the application exhausts its byte limit                      
                                                                    
  o  An MC LATCP CREATE PORT command with  an  invalid  device  name    
     will crash the system.                                             
                                                                    
  o  Set Host/LAT fails between nodes in same the cluster.              


INSTALLATION NOTES:

A reboot is necessary after successful installation of this kit. If you
have other nodes in your VMScluster, they should be rebooted or install
this kit in each system in order to make use of the new images.
