ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for TDF on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3. This kit addresses the
following problems:
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS73_TDF-V0100
o Java applications that run continuously through the daylight
savings time adjustment incur a two hour clock adjustment
rather than a one hour clock adjustment. The java application
must be stopped and restarted to correct the time.
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]JBC$JOB_CONTROL.EXE
o In the Southern Hemisphere when the time was moved forward at
the October Daylight Savings Time adjustment, multithreaded
processes went into a tight CPU loop. Examples of
applications showing the problem are DCPS symbiont, decevent,
or anything using the Java runtime. Stopping and restarting
the processes resolved the problem.
This problem will happen again at the next daylight savings
time adjustment.
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]SYS$DAYLIGHT_SAVING.EXE
[SYSEXE]TDF$SET_TIMEZONE.EXE
o Setting the DISUSER flag on the SYSTEM account causes the
login failure message:
%LOGIN-F-DISUSER, account is disabled
to be displayed when the job controller tries and retries
creating the daylight savings time adjustment process.
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]JBC$JOB_CONTROL.EXE
