PTHREADS-VMS ALPTHREADS_03071 OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 Java JDK Support ECO Summary
TITLE: PTHREADS-VMS ALPTHREADS_03071 OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 Java JDK Support 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 Java JDK Support for DECThreads on OpenVMS
Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2. This kit addresses the following
problems:
Problems addressed in ALPTHREADS_03071:
o This kit updates the DECthreads environment for OpenVMS
Alpha V7.1 with new support required to run the Java JDK
kit. The new support encompasses major structural
changes to DECthreads, including fixes for performance
issues.
o Because of new interdependencies between the PTHREAD$RTL and
CMA$TIS_SHR images, the minor idents for both images have been
bumped for this kit. As a result, threaded applications built
against the updated threads images will NOT run correctly on
standard V7.1 systems. Therefore, Digital recommends that
threaded applications intended for use on V7.1 NOT be built
on systems where this kit has been installed.

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool. If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and
review the article entitled:
[AES] How To Electronically Request ECO Kits Using Service Tools
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the
SYSTEM account and typing the following at the DCL prompt:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL ALPTHREADS_0371 [saveset location]
The saveset location can be a tape drive or a disk directory that
contains the kit saveset. Note that the installation will require
a minimum of 10000 free blocks on the system disk. Much of this
space is needed only during the installation as system libraries
are being updated. Space can be recovered after installation by
purging the system disk to remove files that are replaced by the
installation procedure.
The system should be rebooted after the successful
installation of the update kit. If you have other nodes
in your OpenVMS Cluster sharing a common system disk, they
should also be rebooted in order make use of the new
images.
