ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO (patch) kit exists for the Queue Manager and Job Controller
on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through V7.0.  This kit addresses the following
problems:

Problems addressed in VAXQMAN03_070 for OpenVMS VAX 

  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 V6.1, V6.2, and 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 V6.1, V6.2, and
  V7.0:

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


NOTE:  According to OpenVMS Engineering, the fixes discussed below
       have been included in OpenVMS VAX V7.0. There are some fixes 
       that have been included in previous versions of OpenVMS and 
       those versions are specified in text following the problem 
       descriptions.

Problems addressed in VAXQMAN01_062 for OpenVMS VAX V6.2:

  o  With OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, a 'SUBMIT' command using a wildcard
     character fails to create a batch job.  This is a change in
     behavior from OpenVMS V6.1.

  o  The log files created via the 'SUBMIT/NOPRINT' command executed
     from within SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM are placed in the SYS$SYSTEM directory
     instead of the SYS$MANAGER directory as expected.  This is not
     consistent with the behavior of SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM on all previous
     versions of the operating system.

  o  The SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER.QMAN$JOURNAL queueing
     system journal file extends to approximately 41,000 blocks
     after the upgrade from OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 to OpenVMS Alpha V6.2.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN01_062 for OpenVMS VAX V5.2-2,
  V5.5-2H4, V5.5-2HF, V6.0, V6.1, V6.2:

  o  Over time, the number of symbiont processes running on the
     system increases.

  o  When image accounting is enabled, the ASTCNT for a batch job
     grows from its initial setting, and the batch job subsequently
     fails with the following messages:

       RMS-F-BUG, Fatal RMS Condition, process deleted.
         R0  =  1C (EXQUOTA)
         R2 = FFFFFFF8 (CANTDOAST)

      Each time an image is activated and terminated in a batch
      process, the AST quota of the process is incremented by 1.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN03_061 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, V5.5-2H4,
  V6.0 and V6.1:

  o  VAXQMAN02_061 and previous VAXQMAN ECO kits contained both QMAN
     (queue manager, job controller) and PRTSMB (print symbiont) fixes.
     This ECO kit, VAXQMAN03_061, contains only the QMAN fixes and
     supersedes only that portion of the previous kits.  The PRTSMB
     fixes have been moved to a new kit, VAXPRTS01_061, which
     supersedes the PRTSMB portion of the previous kits.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN03_061 for OpenVMS VAX V6.0 and V6.1:

  o  The accounting data reported by the DCL command
     'ACCOUNTING/SUMMARY/REPORT=PAGES' command is not always correct.
     Incorrect data is reported after jobs are reprinted and occurs
     because the number of pages printed is accumulated in each
     separate accounting record instead of being overwritten.  For
     example:

          Print Seq     Acctng Record     ACCOUNTING/SUMMARY/REPORT=PAGES
          number        Pages Printed     Output
          ---------     --------------    -------------------------------
              1              3                       3
              2              6                       9
              3              9                      18

     The actual number of pages printed by the user is nine but the
     summary accounting reports eighteen pages.

  o  At startup the queue manager may dump with a BADLOGIC error in
     the WILD_MASTER_NAME routine.   After this occurs, it is necessary
     to recreate the queue manager to restart the queue system.

  o  QMAN security fix.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN02_061 for OpenVMS VAX V6.1, VAXQMAN02_060
  for OpenVMS VAX V6.0, and VAXQMAN8_U2055 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:

  o  If a 'START/QUEUE' DCL command is immediately followed by a
     'STOP/QUEUE/RESET' DCL command, the symbiont may dump with a
     BADLOGIC error in PSM$REPORT.  The queues managed by the failing
     symbiont are stopped and there is a loss of service.

  o  When the queue manager rejects a symbiont message, the
     INVSMBMSG signal sent to the operator log does not uniquely
     identify the reason why the symbiont message is considered
     invalid.  An integer value has been added to the INVSMBMSG
     signal to uniquely identify the reason why the queue manager
     rejects a message from the symbiont.

  o  The 'SHOW/QUEUE/FORM' DCL command does not terminate the
     form/char name search correctly.  This might cause the
     QMAN$MASTER.DAT file to be locked for unnecessarily
     long periods which causes queue system response to be
     intermittently slow.  This occurs particularly on systems
     with many queues and forms.  On large production systems,
     the delays can become severe if the problem occurs during
     queue journal file checkpointing.  The Queue Manager may
     crash with a BADLOGIC error in the WILD_MASTER_NAME routine.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN02_061 for OpenVMS VAX V6.1 and in
  VAXQMAN02_060 for OpenVMS VAX V6.0:

  o  A print job may show a pending status due to a stock type
     mismatch.  This may occur even though the stock of the form
     on the print job matches the stock of the form mounted on
     the queue.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN02_061 for OpenVMS VAX V6.1:

  o  The job controller may access violate and crash in the
     IDENT_PACKET accounting routine.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN01_061 for OpenVMS VAX V6.1,
  VAXQMAN01_060 for OpenVMS VAX V6.0 and in VAXQMAN07_U2055
  for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:

  o  In OpenVMS VAX V5.4, a DCL 'SHOW QUEUE' command listed timed
     jobs   in /AFTER_TIME  order.  Beginning with OpenVMS VAX V5.5,
     timed   jobs are listed by priority, then by /AFTER_TIME.  Jobs
     with the  same /AFTER_TIME are listed in entry number order,
     not in submit  time order.  This fix restores support for the
     earlier 'SHOW QUEUE'  order.

  o  When a symbiont sends a TASK_STATUS request other than
     DEVICE_STATUS to the Queue Manager and no job is active, then
     the request is rejected with the following message:

          Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE  on  ARDAS1  %QMAN-I-INVSMBMSG,
          invalid  data  in message from symbiont on queue TEST is being
          ignored

     Support has also been added for additional TASK_STATUS requests
     besides DEVICE_STATUS when there is not an active job.

  o  Issuing the PRINT/DELETE command for may files (several
     thousand) may cause the Queue Manager to crash with an
     Access Violation (ACCVIO) because data is not properly
     copied from one address to another.

  o  The file associated with a 'PRINT/DELETE' job is deleted
     even if the print is unsuccessful.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN01_061 for OpenVMS VAX V6.1 and
  in VAXQMAN01_060 for OpenVMS VAX V6.0:

  o  Timed jobs of equal priority sometimes execute in submit
     time order, not in release time (/AFTER_TIME) order.  This
     occurs when multiple jobs are pending execution.

  o  Memory that is allocated for storing output values for a  DCL
     'SHOW QUEUE/MANAGER' command is not deallocated after command
     completion.  If a user does a series of SHOW QUEUE/MANAGER
     commands the job controller can crash with an insufficient
     virtual memory error.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN01_061 for OpenVMS VAX V6.1:

  o  If there are outstanding jobs during a failover of the Queue
     Manager, the Job Controller may crash the system with the
     system service NOMOREPROC error status.

  o  When $GETQUI with the DISPLAY_JOB function and the THIS_JOB
     flag  is called from a non-batch process, a JOBQUEDIS error is
     returned even when the queue manager is running.  This problem
     also occurs when a process is spawned from a batch process.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN07_U2055 for OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:

  o  A display of user-written and image accounting records
     generated by a batch job shows no queue entry number, queue
     name or job name for that job.


Problems addressed in VAXQMAN06_U2055 (and previous kits) for
  OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2:

  o  If a print job is submitted and then modified to use the
     default form, the next time the form reference counter is
     decremented it could attempt to go past zero which would
     force the Queue Manager to crash.

  o  When a job is printed or submitted to a generic queue using
     either the PRINT/NOTIFY or SUBMIT/NOTIFY command, the notifi-
     cation message incorrectly displays the name of the generic
     queue instead of the execution queue.

  o  A privileged user doing a SUBMIT/USER where the USER account has
     more than 256 rights identifiers, can cause the Queue Manager to
     fail with an ARBTOOBIG error.  The Queue Manager should not fail,
     it should return the error to the submitter.

  o  The Queue Manager disables a queue when there are exactly 28
     target queues.

  o  If an entry, characteristic or form number is supplied to
     $GETQUI via the QUI$_SEARCH_NUMBER item code and the
     QUI$V_SEARCH_WILDCARD flag is set in the QUI$_SEARCH_FLAGS
     item, the queuing system treats the request as a wildcard even
     though an entry was specified.  If a second call is then made
     to $GETQUI using the same item list, a JBC$_NOMOREXXX status
     is returned.

  o  A pending job assigned from a stopped queue to an idle queue
     using the ASSIGN/MERGE command is not immediately scheduled.
     The job remains pending until the target queue is stopped and
     restarted, or until another job is queued to execute on the
     target queue.

  o  The SJC$_ALTER_JOB function with the SJC$_NO_NOTE or the
     SJC$_NO_OPERATOR_REQUEST item has no effect on the target
     job.

  o  During system shutdown, if the job controller reports the
     following error:

          %JBC$-W-SYSERRORPC, LIB$CONVERT_DATE_STRING of
                              SHUTDOWN$TIME system service error ...

     the queuing system terminates instead of pausing momentarily
     while the Queue Manager fails over to another node.

  o  When the rename process of the queue journal file fails, only
     the primary RMS status is sent to OPCOM.  The secondary status,
     which in many cases contains the true cause of the problem, is
     not signaled.

  o  If an invalid directory or device specification is entered
     in a 'START/QUEUE/MANAGER device:[directory]' command or the
     queue file cannot be found in the specified directory, the
     running Queue Manager will abort.

  o  During failover of the Queue Manager, a node can sometimes
     receive a link request from the new Queue Manager before
     the data structures associated with the previous link are
     cleared.  When this occurs, the node will not be able to
     communicate with the new Queue Manager.

  o  During a heavy system load, a process may lose the response
     to a queueing request causing the queue command to hang
     indefinitely.

  o  A number of tables in the Queue Manager do not include entries
     for reserved function codes.  This can cause the the Job
     Controller or the Queue Manager to terminate if an application
     is written that uses these codes.

  o  A non-privileged program can cause the Job Controller to
     terminate if a reserved $SNDJBC function is used.

  o  When moving the queue database in a cluster environment, the
     the logical 'QMAN$MASTER' must be defined on all nodes before
     Queue Manager is restarted in order to use queue-related
     commands.  If the logical is defined after the Queue Manager
     is started, queue commands will hang.

  o  If a symbiont responds to a Queue Manager request after
     the specified queue has been stopped, the Queue Manager
     creates a process dump but then recovers.  The process
     dump shows that the symbiont message was being processed
     on a stopped queue.

  o  If a user-written or user-modified symbiont calls
     SMB$INITIALIZE or PSM$PRINT and specifies an invalid
     maximum stream number, the Queue Manager may crash.

  o  In OpenVMS VAX V5.4, if the STOP/QUEUE/NEXT command was
     issued to stop a queue and then a START/QUEUE command
     was quickly issued, the Stop_Pending status set by the stop
     request would be cleared.  In OpenVMS VAX V5.5, this ceased
     to be true.

  o  If the PRINT/USER or SUBMIT/USER commands are used to enter
     a job into a queue, the account name associated with the
     job is that of the submitter and not that of the user as
     it should be.

  o  The queue database contains all of the job information in
     the SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER.QMAN$JOURNAL file.  Sometimes disks
     containing the queue database are backed up with the expec-
     tation that the backed up version of the database can be
     used on the next reboot.  The queuing system does not support
     backing up the journal file of its database.  The result is a
     database that contains no jobs.

  o  If the Queue Manager fails over to another node and more than 84
     blocks are used in the journal file of the queue database to
     record the failure, a start up related transaction may be split
     across the journal file that is created to prevent the old one
     from growing too large.   If there is another failure within a
     the next few minutes while the "new" journal file is current, the
     Queue Manager's attempt to start up with this new journal file
     fails.

  o  If a program is written using $SNDJBC and the item code
     'SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NUMBER' is specified after SJC$_FILE_COPIES,
     SJC$_FILE_IDENTIFICATION or SJC$_FILE_SPECIFICATION in the item
     list, the values of those item codes will be lost.

  o  If the QUEUE_MANAGER process is abnormally aborted (node crash)
     after it has committed a queue transaction, but before it is able
     to modify the queue file,  the next incarnation of the
     QUEUE_MANAGER process will corrupt the queue record.

  o  If the DCL command 'START/QUEUE/SEARCH=nnn' is issued, the
     following informational message is displayed:

          %JBC-I-ITEMREMOVED, meaningless items were removed
                              from request

  o  SUBMIT/AFTER=time/PRIORITY=nn does not schedule jobs properly.
     For example, if two jobs are submitted at the same time, but
     with different priorities, the job that is scheduled first is
     the one that comes off the timer queue first even if is not
     the one with the highest priority.

  o  The queue and journal file error handling routine produces
     a process dump when the disk on which the queue or journal files
     reside is write locked.  A write locked disk should be handled
     as an environment problem, not a coding problem.  A process dump
     is not necessary when this condition is encountered.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order 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 should be rebooted.
