IMPORTANT NOTICE

The online distribution of OpenVMS and related product patches is being migrated to the HP ITRC (Information Technology Resource Center) patch distribution site. The new ITRC patch server will allow OpenVMS customers to take advantage of many enhanced features for patch searching and distribution.

Beginning August 1, 2003, OpenVMS and related Layered Product, publicly available patches will be available from the HP ITRC web site at

http://itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

The same patches will still be available from the existing patch server in Colorado Springs (http://www.support.compaq.com/patches/) through the end of October 2003, to give customers sufficient time to update their bookmarks and make the transition to the HP ITRC web site.

ECO kits will also be available by raw FTP from (ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/).

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS AND REGISTER ON THE NEW SITE NOW

Note: if you're having trouble connecting to the ITRC site, please delete any cookies for "itrc.hp.com" from your browser and try again. Report any difficulties with or suggestions to MrVMS

                                LAT



ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for LAT on OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. This kit addresses the
following problems:


  o  LATACP crashes with PGFIPLHI

  o  LTDRIVER crashes with INVEXCEPTN

  o  Some applications use break, through  the  system  service,  to
     write to their numerous terminals at the same time.  When LATCP
     is running, the management LTA device created by LATCP is  also
     broadcast  to.   This  slows  done the application to the point
     where the application exhausts its byte limit

  o  An MC LATCP CREATE PORT command with  an  invalid  device  name
     will crash the system.

  o  Set Host/LAT fails between nodes in the same cluster.

  o  VCRP packets are being overwritten.

  o  CREATE LINE LINK$NAME/DEV=XXA0:  command in  LATCP  can  crash
     the system.

  o  After executing the following commands:

             LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE1/APPL
             LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE2/APPL
             LATCP> CREATE SERVICE SERVICE3/APPL
             LATCP> DELETE SERVICE SERVICE2
             LATCP> SET SERVICE SERVICE3/STATIC_RATING=1

     the static ratings for services following SERVICE2 can  not  be
     changed.
