NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi. The resultant
file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
the ECO.

DOMAIN:.
- Include support for Common Directory Service Dynamic Cache.
- Deassign BG device for TCP/IP restart.
- Add support for sticky cache entry.
- Set default cache expiration timer to 0 (i.e., infinite).
(Previously the default was either 7 or 30 days)
- Convert old V1.0 and V2.2 cache files to V2.3 cache files
to preserve cache with upgrades.
- Allow sticky cache entry even when sys$fullname is not defined.
- ASTs needed to be disabled longer to protect the node information
data structures from being corrupted.
- Modify cache write logic around sticky bit changes.
- Prevent access violations for some string manipulations in
CDI search path.
- Prevent system crash on return to session control with an
invalid node parameter.
- Allow DOMAIN to return a compressed name from the fully qualified
domain full name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a value that is inaccurate starting with the lsb of the high
order longword, with all lower order longwords being similarly
inaccurate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:DTSS$STARTUP.COM:
- Allow the user to specify the location of the NCL script
via logical name definitions.

daylight savings time from the last Sunday in September
to the last Sunday in October.
- Change DTSS Brazilian time zone rule.
- Change DTSS British time zone rule from 4th Sunday in
October to 5th Sunday in October.

- Modifed SetDefaultEntity, SetDefaultAccess and SetDefault routines
to correct memory allocation and new defaults.
- Correct default entity and global parsing vector when the initial
connect attempt failed.
- "With" cause corrected to allow parsing end user specification
attributes using the UIC format.
- Correct default entity and global parsing vector when the initial
connect attempt failed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCLSHR:
- Prevent NCL commands with embedded slashes, such as OSAK
commands, from returning an NCL success status even
if they fail.
- Modify UIC format of an end user specification filter to
return the %NCL-E-BADVALUE error when necessary.

- Alias member with selection weight set to 0 should
not receive any incoming alias connection.
- Correct single member cluster alias selection weight.
- Correction for incoming alias objects over 128.
- Prevent alias hang on startup. If NET$ACP was very busy,
the alias task could sometimes get suspended while

is to increase the priority of the alias task.
- Correct alias selection weight of one.
- Correct the format of the Phase V node address in Alias
forwarding packets to prevent logical links from being
unexpectedly aborted.
- Prevent possible system crash if the alias round robin
queue was corrupted by disabling the AST delivery when
the alias port was toggled.
- Allow only the use of ALIAS DISABLE instead of ALIAS DELETE
because the port should not be deleted once it has been
allocated and accessed.
- Correction for incoming selection weight on objects.
- Prevent startup hang during the enable while waiting
for the Object lock that was held in exclusive mode
by another alias member.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$CCR.EXE:

"%CCR-F-ACCESSDENIED, NET$MANAGE, NET$DIAGNOSE or BYPASS required".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IPR 75-13-656 IPR 75-52-342 IPR 75-52-347
Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$CONFIGURE.COM:
- Correct defaults for the routing "end system hello time"
and the session "update interval" when NET$CONFIGURE is
run twice without exiting.
- Correct node rename.
- Find PSI$050.PSI in SYS$COMMON, which is needed for VAX P.S.I.
to configure.
- Correct attributes for FDDI devices and the associated
routing circuits.
- Session control "application add" will default to "false"
for outgoing alias.
- Correct search for Phase IV node name database in SYS$COMMON.
- Correct the use of SYS$COMMON for DECnet Migration
temporary files.
- Require LOCAL in the Session Control Search Path
on DECdns servers.
- Correct the use of logical name definitions for script
files.
- NET$STARTUP_RENAME.COM could be created with an invalid
node name.
- Add a Flow Control Policy Option for NSP Transport.
- Correct DCL command syntax error on NSP configuration
section within option 4.
- Correct circuits to be configured as FDDI.
- Add spaces in fddi_yes = 1.
- Modify text for the EWdevice to indicate that it can be a DExxx
device. Also add EB device.
- Modify error handling on temporary files.
- Prevent %RMS-W-RTB, byte record too large for user's buffer.
- Correct password generation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$UPDATE:NET$CONVERT_DATABASE.EXE:
- Remove erroneous log file message "found 0 nodes".
- Prevent database conversion to an invalid command:
"SET NODE 0 CSMA-CD STATION MNA-0 STATION BUFFERS 15"
in NET$CSMACD_STARTUP.NCL.
- Add support for the DEFPA device.
- Convert the Phase IV routing maximum visit count of 255 to
the Phase V limit of 63.
- Properly convert FDDI device, DEFPA, from Phase IV. The
communications port should have been FWA not FPA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$DRIVER.EXE:
- For DNA, map NET$_CONTIMEOUT to the SS$_LINKEXIT system service
status/MSG$_EXIT mailbox message type instead of to the
incorrect SS$_UNREACHABLE/MSG$_PATHLOST.
- Prevent access violation on zero length probe.
- Prevent crash in sys$network_services by reordering IRP
completion.
- Prevent remote shutdown from stopping local servers by mapping
remoteshut to msg$_abort and the ss$status to LINKABORT.
- Allow the channel to be re-used after the reception of
a msg$_netshut or msg$_thirdparty mailbox message.
- Modify mapping table for Phase IV compatibility:
A) When session is disabled an attempt to connect:
1) Mailbox Message MSG$_Reject
2) %System-F-Shut, remote node no longer
accepting connects
B) When session is disabled with existing connections:
1) Mailbox Message, Msg$_Thirdparty
2) SS$_Thirdparty abort status
- Correct incoming disconnect with DNA where a
a UCB was not deallocated.
- Correct disconnect path that could lead to hanging
transport ports if the outgoing connect initiate was
not getting properly disconnected.
- Correct mailbox disconnect message by removing
an invalid check for a corrupt QLB queue in IO$_ACCESS.
- Include spinlocks to synchronize all I/O completion.
- Always delete the session association when an incoming
connection times out. If many incoming connections failed,
this could eventually lead to a resource exhaustion and
a system crash.
- SMP synchronization was added to the executeDeAccess
to prevent a network device hang on a very heavily loaded
system.
- Prevent possible system crash on an incoming connect timeout
where close association could have been called twice.
- Correct PFGIPLHI crash in execute deaccess.
- Prevent possible application RWAST or network device hangs with
QIOUCB$V_closeassocdone. Double close associations precipitated
this modification. Both QIO_EXECUTE and QIO_COMPLETION were
modified to add a new bit to check if the association has already
been closed and if the channel can be deallocated.
- Modify disconnect data counted string to emulate Phase IV behavior
of stepping on the first byte of user data to make it a counted
string IF the user application did not supply this necessary count.
- Correct ExecuteDeaccess code latency when the connection was not
yet in the run state and it was aborted. This will now allow the
abort to happen if 1) the channel type indicates that there is some
semblance of a connection and b) in all states except for those that
indicate that the connection is already in the process of being torn d
i.e., ACinProg, CAinProg or DCinProg.
- Prevent NET device $ASSIGN before the driver has been initialized.
- Prevent possible page fault at elevated IPL bugcheck in deaccess.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$EVENT_DISPATCHER.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.3-ECO11" 22-JUN-1999 14:30:28.19
- Prevent INVEXCEPTN crash in SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.
- Create new filters to block the following CSMA and FDDI events
to correct the command RESET EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM.
The global filter will block the following events by default:
((node,csma,station), unrecognized multicast destination pdu)
((node,csma,station), unavailable station buffer)
((node,fddi,station,link), unrecognized multicast pdu destination)
If you do not want these events blocked by default at creation
time, create a new SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL by copying
the NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE and include appropriate commands to
pass one or more of these events.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE:
- If a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL was previously created from the old
NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE, then your site-specific
NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL should be edited to remove the following
duplicate block command:
BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream
GLOBAL FILTER ((NODE,MOP,CIRCUIT), Unrecognized Dump Client).
- Since new filters now block the CSMA and FDDI events by default,
the following pass commands have been added:
!PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
! ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unrecognized Multicast Destination PDU)
!PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
! ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unavailable Station Buffer)
!PASS EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM * GLOBAL FILTER -
! ((NODE,FDDI,STATION,LINK), Unrecognized Multicast PDU Destination)
If you have previously created a NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script by
copying the old .TEMPLATE, regardless of whether you choose to use
these commands or not, please update that site-specific
NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL script.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$LOOP_APPLICATION.EXE:
Image Identification: "V6.3-ECO08" 28-JUL-1997 17:49:53.13
- Prevent NET$MIRROR_SERVER from consuming CPU time.
- Correct application loopback error "Agent is invalid"
when connecting by destination tower.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP.EXE:
- Save unnecessary disk access on dump requests.
- Add a new diagnostic error for Console Carrier Request
"CCR$_DuplicateAddr, duplicate address error" to help
resolve a configuration error.
- Prevent SSRVEXCEPTN crashes in NET$MOP. One of these
crashes (Alpha only) occurred in response to NCL BOOT MOP
CLIENT and TSM TRIGGER SERVER. Also fixed various other
SSRVEXCEPTN crashes (on both VAX and Alpha) that were caused
by MOP's use of $CMA thread routines in kernel mode. Those
crashes were recognizable by kernel stack corruption, and they
could occur while TSM, MOP, or the NCP Emulator were in use.
- Modify the CCR timer to allow SET HOST/MOP and TSM
commands to complete more quickly when one or more of the
remote consoles is unavailable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$MOPS0.EXE:
- VAX only correction for a kernel dispatch table
to a nonpaged psect.
- Included for compatibility with NET$MOP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSDRIVER.EXE:
- Correct incoming disconnect with VOTS when a
a UCB could fail to be deallocated.
- Prevent system crash when running a VOTS trace with a
bad NCB descriptor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$OSVCM.EXE:
- Corrections for Passive TSEL (defined by NCL) that is deleted
when the program subsequently declares TSEL and exits.
- Correct lost "fillm" when a connection was not processed
by the application before the timeout.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$PROCESS_EMAA.EXE:
- Correct EMAA$BUILD_RESPONSE to make sure data exists in
the MRCP output buffer before attempting to use it.
- Correct more Process EMAA PGFILPHI crashes.
- Prevent an EMAA$BUILD_RESPONSE INVEXCEPTN crash with NCP
Emulator.
- Prevent possible system crash with a negative
entity count in the IVK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ROUTING_ES.EXE:
- Prevent alias_id in LPD from being corrupted during fork
processing.
- Check the packet size against datalink buffer size for
all packets. Do not send probe packets if the datalink
size is too small. When flooding the circuits, segment
packets if necessary.
- In the HDLC VCI interface, if the datalink reported an
unusable port with an unexpected reason code, report a physical
layer failure only.
- Correct ES cache creation when receiving a redirect from
a direct path to an indirect path.
- Correct NET$SHUTDOWN hang with FDDI circuits with
"delete routing circ *".
- Correction for inactive area address handling over FDDI.

- Prevent the FDDI large blocksize flag in the cache entry from
being enabled unless the circuit type is set to FDDI.
- Prevent a crash when deleting a reachable address due
to erroneous cache size.
- Prevent possible crash in routing shutdown.
- Prevent possible crash by discarding all invalid PDUs.
- Event logging on Alpha was corrected.
- Routing over HDLC check the validity of the NSAP length
for incoming PDUs when there is no adjacency.
- Correction for redirect PDUs that should not have been discarded.
- Padded IS hello should not have been discarded.
- Correct Phase V to Phase IV translation padding on transmit
header.
- Prevent possible shutdown crash on disable when a WCB contained
an unexpected Routing Routine, net$clns_transmit_discard.
Clear the CLNS_CDB before deleting the TSEL in the CLNS port close.
- Prevent invalid NSAP on initial ES hello message by checking the
area address and not the HIORD of the NSAP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:NET$SDA.EXE:
- Include support for compatibility with NET$ROUTING_ES.
- Alpha only correction for "NETWORK SHOW EMAA".
- Correction for "SHOW NSP PORT".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE:
- Correct DNA CONTROLCOMPLETE while processing connect accept
during association rundown. These crashes have been
seen on STOP/ID for the DECdns server process.
- Correct crash TESTLCLAPPDB Accept complete.
- Prevent DECnet bugcheck in SCL$OUTGOINGTIMEREXPIRED.
- Correct crash on DEALLOCATEPORTSUBENTITY.
- Correct outgoing connect timer synchronization caused by threads
starting and stopping this timer.
- Reduce the amount of time required to report that an application
does not exist. This time was not being reported until after the
incoming timer expired. The connection will now be rejected as
soon as Session determines that the application does not exist.
- Correct the disconnect reason code used when an incoming connection
request times out. Use SCL$K_RC_TimedOut as the disconnect reason
code when an incoming connection request times out without
being either explicitly accepted or rejected by the user
application.
- Modify $IPC user data to be compatible with $QIO by adding
receive disconnect user data to the RECEIVE_EVENT function.
- Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN hang or crashes on Disable Session Control.
- Change application outgoing alias default to "false" for
compatibility with Phase IV.
- Prevent decnet fatal bugcheck on NET$SHUTDOWN.
- Prevent "invalid access" with user IDs longer than 12 characters.
- Use proxy first regardless of session attributes.
- Add support for the configuring of multiple aliases by setting
the outgoingalias name and default in the application.
- Prevent SMP crash with synchronization of NET$GQ_Association_Queue.
- Prevent for so-called alias hang on startup. Actually caused by
SCL_BASE_ACP incorrect status check on backtranslaction.
- Change the disconnect status sent to the remote node when
session control is disabled on an existing connection from
"%SYSTEM-F-SHUT, remote node no longer accepting connects" to
"%SYSTEM-F-THIRDPARTY, network logical link disconnected by a
third party".
- Prevent "PGFIPLHI, Page Fault IPL Too High", in NET$ACP on
system boot.
- Prevent possible incoming disconnect crash.
- Modify session control so that breakin attempts do not occur
when proxy access was correctly used.
- Prevent an SMP crash with the DeclareSession completion function.
- Modify SMP synchronization for stale association by replacing
DSBINT and ENBINT with IOLOCK8 acquire and release in
SSRV$$GETPORTINFORMATION routine.
- Prevent a doubly deallocated CRPROC structure.
- Conditionalize out SCL spinlock checking because this check is
now obsolete.
- Pevent crash in NET$ACP from a bad DECdns and CDI cache entry.
A stale pointer in DNSResult[DNSREQ$A_Pointer] with
ACP$CheckBackTransTask could cause a double deallocation.
- Resolve SMP PGFIPLHI trying to access an EIB port that no
longer existed.
- Include proxy information for use by LOGINOUT with SYSGEN
parameter, NET_CALLOUTS 255.
- Alpha only use the name string from the PSB instead of GETJPI.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$SHUTDOWN.COM:
- Allow DECdns Clerk shutdown to be last.
- Check for the existance of a NET$APPLICATION_SHUTDOWN logical which,
if used, should point to a site-specific application shutdown
procedure. If the logical is defined and the procedure exists,
NET$SHUTDOWN will execute that procedure. The NET$AUX_CONTROL
logical will continue to use the previously defined indexed file.
- Prevent NET$SHUTDOWN from aborting when a NET process logical
was defined.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE:
- Change handling of Report Event VCRPs, for Alpha only.
- Prevent hanging tcp links by rejecting the connection on the
listen port (tpcb) when this initiation fails.
- Prevent a BGDRIVER socket leak that could under some incoming
connect error conditions eventually cause the available
sockets to become exhausted.
- Prevent possible system crash on a disconnect indication.
- Remove statetable bugchecks.
- Include VCIB sanity checks in all locations which fork to a
completion routine since it is theoretically possible for an
I/O completion after port deletion in any of these routines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE:
- Include support for Routing LPD change.
- Correct for dropped links while SET HOST to a Phase IV node.
- Prevent NSP ports from remaining until they time out,
sending disconnects.
- Correct NETNOSTATE crashes.
- Prevent crash on shutdown in NSP alias processing.
- Prevent link hang on disconnect.
- Prevent crash on incoming Disconnect Initiate with retransmit
in progress.
- Prevent hang on shutdown.
- Correct possible hang when the NSP maximim window size was
greater than 20.
- Disconnect data from Phase IV nodes was incorrectly reported
as a protocol error. When io$m_synch was used, the mailbox
read hung waiting to receive a disconnect with optional data.
- The default retransmits was lowered from 12 to 8 for faster
error detection and recovery.
- NSP connect initiate will be resent every 5 seconds instead
of 10 seconds. This allows NSP to timeout before session by
default even when the remote node is not reachable.
- NSP was corrected to prevent logical links from hanging on
a retransmission of an interrupt message.
- Insure that I/O will complete even if the IO$_Multiple bit is set
in the QIO function.
- Allow NSP flow control to be more efficient and deliver the
XON as soon as possible after a new receive request is received.
- Prevent a remote TCID from attempting to be reused for a
connection if the previous connection failed to be deaccessed.
- Corrected the possible delivery of protocol errors with disconnect
data. If the user string (P2) is not a counted string this will
now be included on behalf of the user. Phase IV compatibility also
writes over the first byte of the user data while making it counted.

xmitsegcount.
- Correct INVEXCEPTN bugcheck due to bad "reason code."
- Correct memory leak on Solicit VCRP.
- Correct transmit failure "%REM-F-NETERR, DECnet channel
error on remote terminal link" with more than
127 chained DCBs given to CTI.

a bad checksum.
- Prevent crash on duplicate/clone VCRP.
- Remove unnecessary CTI buffer caching.
- Change handling of Report Event VCRPs, for Alpha only.

leak (CONSTmpList memory leak) and, in one instance, to
a pool corruption.
- Add "try hard" for "keep alive" acknowledgements to allow idle
link failover.
- Avoid excessive retransmission.

transmitted and the message sequence number to be
retransmitted did not match the expected message.
- Correct Alias Transport Connection Table for connections
using cluster alias because the TC ID range was not
properly allocated.
- Prevent a crash on connect initiate where the port had not
yet been activated and the solicit VCRP was zero.
- Prevent a crash when a port block was inserted into a queue
in the RSP (Remote Service Provider) and an element in the
queue found an invalid pointer.
- Correct the checksum calculation for messages larger than
4,399 bytes.
- Prevent crash in OSITP disable port if this same port had
already been disabled.
- Remove forced bugcheck from BUILD_DATA routines.
- Insure that I/O will complete even if the IO$_Multiple bit is set
in the QIO function.
- Prevent transport bugcheck when an X.25 connection was abnormally
terminated and a protocol error was in the process of being logged.
- Correct timing window to prevent a VCRP leak if user data could
not be delivered to the application because it was disconnected.
- Correct possible crash when the port is found and the associated
remote TCID was not valid.
- Modify state tables such that if the port is in a WFNC state and
receives a DR or DC, just ignore the message rather then bugcheck.
- Correct restraint mode window.
- Correct default packet size when remote fails to set the size.
- Prevent OSITP retransmission timeouts with zero credit.
- Prevent OSITP premature port deallocation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$STARTUP:NET$STARTUP.COM:
File Identification: 7-SEP-2000 14:13:24.96
- Allow NET$STARTUP_RENAME.COM to execute only after the full
network startup completes.
- Do not run RTTLOAD or start DNS$SERVER until after NET$ACP
is running.
- Remove "block event dispatcher outbound stream" command lines
as the code as been modified in the event dispatcher to block

INSTALLATION NOTES:
Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility (PCSI) by logging into the SYSTEM account, and
entering the following command at the DCL prompt:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL DNVOSIECO12/SOURCE=[location of the .PCSI file]
Note that you can use the DECwindows Motif interface to PCSI
if you wish.
For the corrections to take effect, you must reboot the system.
If you are a member of a VMScluster, you must reboot the entire
cluster. You can postpone rebooting if it is not convenient
for you to do so now; however, the new driver(s) will not take
effect until after a reboot.
Installation Caution
After you install this ECO kit, an error in the POLYCENTER
Software Installation (PCSI) prevents installation of the
OSAK SPI Interface V3.0.
The OSAK PCSI installation requires DECnet/OSI V6.3,
which causes the installation process to remove
DNVOSIECO14. This situation leaves the system without a
SYS$NETWORK_SERVICES.EXE file. Therefore, the system
cannot be rebooted.
You must preserve the original installation order,
indicated below. This will be corrected in a future release.
Installation Order
Place each PCSI kit in a unique source directory
1) DECNET_OSI V6.3 /Source=[KITS.DECNET]
2) OSAK V3.0-L /Source=[KITS.OSAK]
3) FTAM V3.2-F /Source=[KITS.FTAM]
4) DNVOSIECO14 V6.3 /Source=[KITS.ECO]
