ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for CMS V4.1 on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
through V7.3-1. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems fixed in ECO kit #4:
o ID:194 - VERIFY/REPAIR virtual memory usage.
In Version 4.1, the VERIFY/REPAIR command could use large amounts of virtual
memory. This has been corrected.
o ID:195 - VERIFY/REPAIR reported incorrect errors.
The VERIFY/REPAIR command would report -CMS-E-MSSBLKSTR errors when
free space was consolidated. This has been corrected.
o ID:197, ID:198 - Potential problems with expanding the library have
been corrected.
o ID:199 - The reference copy was not updated after a REPLACE with no changes.
The reference copy was not updated by a REPLACE command that created
a new generation when there were no changes to the element. In a CMS
library with the REVISION_TIME attribute set to STORAGE_TIME, this
caused a subsequent VERIFY command to report errors on the reference
copy. This problem has been corrected.
o ID:200 - Incorrect output from DIFFERENCES/SENTINEL
The output from the DIFFERENCES/SENTINEL command could contain spurious
characters at the end of a line. This has been corrected.
o ID:201 - Confusing remarks from DELETE HISTORY command
Remarks indicating the number of records deleted by a DELETE HISTORY
command were not correctly maintained by further deletions. These
remarks have been removed, and the remarks now match those produced
by Version 4.0.
o ID:202 - Spurious error messages from the callable interface routine
CMS$DELETE_HISTORY have been removed.
o ID:205 - The REPLACE command sometimes resulted in an access violation when
the input file had different files attributes to the previous generation.
o ID:211 - Library order was wrong following CREATE LIBRARY/AFTER with list.
If a list of libraries was created with the CREATE LIBRARY/AFTER command,
the resultant library list was in the wrong order. This has been corrected.
o ID:212 - Spurious additional error messages removed.
A spurious additional -CMS-E-OPENOUT message was produced for
certain errors related to output files. This has been corrected.
o ID:213 - When a user output routine was called from CMS$ANNOTATE and
returned an error status, an access violation could result.
o ID:214 - The default output filename for the SHOW command is now in
upper case.
o ID:221 - The severity level in %CMS-S-HISTDEL messages has been corrected.
o ID:225 - DELETE ELEMENT could succeed when the reference copy could not
be deleted.
The DELETE ELEMENT command could, in some circumstances,
successfully delete an element when there was insufficient
privilege to delete the reference copy. This has been corrected.
o ID:227 - CMS$SET_LIBRARY and CMS$SET_NOLIBRARY could corrupt memory.
There is a low probability that the callable interface routines
CMS$SET_LIBRARY and CMS$SET_NOLIBRARY could corrupt memory, in some
circumstances. The problem has never been reported by a user, but was
identified during unique testing circumstances. This has been corrected.
Problems fixed in Patch Release kit #3:
o ID:193 - Corruption on expanding the library.
Corrected an issue introduced in patch Release kit #2, if a library
expansion occurred. Customers have been alerted to the needed upgrade.
Problems fixed in Patch Release kit #2:
o ID:189 - Update SYS$STARTUP:CMS$STARTUP.COM so that it installs the
image SYS$MESSAGE:CMSMSG.EXE. This ensures that textual messages are
reported correctly if the main image, or any shareable images it
uses, are installed with privileges.
o ID:190 - Prevent the generation of the error:
%CMS-F-BUG, there is something wrong with CMS or something it calls
-CMS-F-BAD_DATA_STR, Structure field of the passed LDB is invalid
This happened when running CMS V4.1 on a VAX system when the archive
in the CMS library file grew beyond 65,535 bytes in length.
o ID:191 - CMS library file 01CMS.CMS created with incorrect
attributes. The library file was being created with variable length
record attributes. It should be created with undefined record
attributes.
o ID:192 - CMS can exceed LMF license limit when used with MMS. When
an MMS description files action lines contain CMS commands CMS will
fail with:
%LICENSE-F-NOAUTH, DEC CMS-USER use is not authorized on this node
-LICENSE-F-EXCEEDED, attempted usage exceeds active license limits
-LICENSE-I-SYSMGR, please see your system manager
if only one license unit is available and MMS has had to access
multiple CMS libraries before spawning the subprocess to execute the
action lines.
Problems fixed in ECO kit #1:
o Correct CMS_PEAK_UTILIZATION
o Expand on description of /ID qualifier in CMS$DW_HELP.HLP
o Correct error in sequence number generation (this fix has been
withdrawn in ECO kit #4)
o Correction applied when /SENTINEL caused differences to be reported
for identical files
o Correct the error that caused Alpha ACCVIO and VAX STR-F-ILLSTRCLA
when at least the merged generations had been changed more than once
since the common ancestor
o Remove the restriction on directory tree depth (this fix has been
withdrawn in ECO kit #4)
o Correction applied when a directory TOOLONG message fao_param is
displayed
o In cms$$ele_get_subdir_name(), increase FAO buffer size from 256 to
512
o Remove unused Literal k_max_dir_size
o Correction for MODIFY/NAME, don't delete the old file if errors
occurred during the creation of the new file
o Change compare of reference library spec and CMS$LIB to an exact match
o Correction made for fetching an indexed file to a remote DECnet node
o Require Ref Copy to be on ODS-5 disk only if extended_filenames
attribute set on library
