ACMS ACMSE02042 ACMS V4.2 on OpenVMS V6.2 - V7.2 ECO Summary

TITLE: ACMS ACMSE02042 ACMS V4.2 on OpenVMS V6.2 - V7.2 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 ACMS V4.2 and V4.2-1 on OpenVMS (VAX and Alpha)
V6.2 through V7.2.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the ACMSE02042 Kit:

  o  Corrects a problem with the ENQLM quota on OpenVMS V7.1 (VAX and
     Alpha) allowing ENQLM to now be set to a virtually unlimited value. 

  o  Corrects a problem determining the ENQLM value.  The higher of the
     PQL limit or the AUTHORIZE value is used now. 

  o  Corrects a potential problem with process contention by taking the
     process priority for the ACMS EXC and server processes from the
     application user's SYSUAF.DAT authorization record. 

  o  Corrects a 10-20 second delay when shutting down the ACMS ACC
     process or exiting from an agent on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1. 

  o  Corrects a potential problem causing an access violation when
     linking very large applications with the ADU LINK command. 

  o  Corrects a potential infinite process loop resulting from an access
     violation (ACCVIO) or a reserved operand fault (ROPRAND) for
     processes linked with ACMSHR. 

  o  Corrects a problem which could occur when a large number of errors
     occur at the same time.  On Alpha systems, the ACMS_SWL process
     would sometimes abort with an ACCVIO in this situation. 


INSTALLATION NOTES:

This ECO updates the ACMS V4.2 runtime system by replacing specific ACMS
image files.  The installation procedure will supply the appropriate VAX
or Alpha images for your system environment.  After the ECO is installed,
additional details can be found in the ECO release notes at: 

        SYS$HELP:ACMS042_ECO2.RELEASE_NOTES.

This ECO kit is intended for installation on either an OpenVMS VAX V6.2
or an OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 or higher system.  Installations on other
versions of OpenVMS are not supported and will yield unpredictable
results. 

Before installing this ECO, the ACMS system must be stopped.  Use the DCL
command: ACMS/STOP SYSTEM. 

To install this ECO invoke the VMSINSTAL command procedure, as outlined
in Chapter 3 of the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.  The installation
procedure will check that ACMS is stopped and that ACMS V4.2 is installed
on the system. 

After the installation procedure completes, a system reboot is not
necessary. However, prior to restarting ACMS, SYS$STARTUP:ACMSTART must
be re-run to install the updated images.
