ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for Queue Manager OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. This kit
addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in ALPQMAN05_070:
o BATCH/PRINT problems corrected:
+ The DCL command SHOW QUEUE/MANAGER would hang on some
nodes. The job controller process would hang in the LEF
state.
+ After queue manager failover from VAX to Alpha, the job
controller process (on Alpha) hangs in LEF causing the
queues on the Alpha system to remain in a starting state.
The queues remain there until the job controller is
stopped and restarted. Also, the SHOW QUEUE/MANAGER
command hangs.
o When booting in a new node or failing over the queue manager,
the cluster appears to hang. The job controller continually
produces dump files at SYS$SYSTEM:JBC$JOB_CONTROL.DMP. The
error reported in the dump is "feature incompatible with
previous system version".
o DCPS-F-STREAMUSE and queue become stuck in starting errors:
+ Occasional flagging of a DCPS-F-STREAMUSE error while
starting DCPS queues.
+ Print Queues (either LAT, DQS or DCPS) may hang stuck in a
starting state.
Problems addressed in ALPQMAN04_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:
o Being re-issued to keep Message Routines current with Library
RTL kit. There are no new fixes in this kit.
Problems addressed in ALPQMAN03_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:
o The ALPQMAN02_070 remedial kit would not install on V6.1 and
V6.2 OpenVMS Alpha hardware versions. There are no additional
problem fixes in this remedial kit.
Problems addressed in ALPQMAN02_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:
o Delete/Entry on a starting job fails to stop the job. The job
stays in an aborting state and processes to completion.
o When F$GETQUI is used at DCL to obtain queue manager information,
certain combinations of items can hang the process.
o The queue manager stops after the following messages are
issued in OPCOM:
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 8-MAY-1996 14:52:17.83 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on HULAW3
%QMAN-W-LOWMEMORY, the queue manager process may require more
virtual memory than is currently available
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 8-MAY-1996 14:53:07.20 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on HULAW3
%QMAN-F-ALLOCMEM, error allocating virtual memory

V6.1-1H2, V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V7.0:

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services

INSTALLATION NOTES:
The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.
If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they must also be
rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s). If it is not
possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a
rolling re-boot may be performed.
