ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO (patch) kit exists for OSI Applications Developers Toolkit
on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 and higher and DECnet/OSI V5.6 for OpenVMS VAX.
This kit addresses the following problems:

FTAMAPI Fixes:

o Access Violations occur during transfer of large files or
multiple files. Excessive page faulting occurs.

o Excessive page faulting and memory usage occur during
file transfer over slow datalinks.

o Excessive CPU usage, excessive buffered I/Os and long
elapsed times occur during file transfers.

o The incorrect status value of -1 is returned in some
internal routines.

o Only OSIF.H is provided. Include files for other
languages are missing.

o FTAM cannot correctly decode certain large integer values.


OSITP CM Server Fixes:

o U-ASE data contains Invalid Encoding. Specifically, the tag
for the RPC-APDUs (for RTI protocol) within the PDV-List was
constructed single-ASN1-type "A0."

o Invalid encoding of the functional unit parameter exists.

o The CCL utility would not allow commands that extended to more than
512 characters. This in turn imposed restrictions on the length of
some of the parameter values like remote-ap-title.

o Server failure occurs when a TP-INITIALIZE-RC which contains no
options (is empty) is received.

o Server failure occurs with a U-ASE data concatenated with the
TP-BEGIN-DIALOGUE-RI APDU.

o OSI-TP now sends the correlator value of 0 instead of 1 for
the first dialogue.

o A "Fatal internal error" message is logged by the OSI TP CM
on receipt of a TP-ABORT-RI APDU.
