OSS (G06.12 through G06.24)
•
Beginning with the G06.18 RVU, all OSS SUT-based products with pax files must
have the A7CINFO file in their DSVs to be installed by DSM/SCM. Before installing
the SUT:
°
Check the Interactive Upgrade Guide for DSM/SCM support and other new
features and possible migration issues.
°
Check the appropriate softdoc for the OSS product.
°
Check that all OSS file sets used by DSM/SCM for OSS file installation are
mounted and started.
•
Beginning with the G06.23 RVU, you can use SCF to configure an OSS process as
a persistent process under the persistence manager ($ZKRN). To configure OSS
persistent processes, you must have all of these SPRs installed (available at
G06.24 unless otherwise indicated):
°
T1084G06AAH
°
T1085G06AAL
°
T6586G07AAU
°
T5800G06AAP
°
T9082ACX (SCF)
°
T9082G02ACX
°
T8624G10AAM (now available, starting in August 2004)
°
T8397G00ABA (see your service provider for availability)
OSS persistent processes can be used without SPRs T8624G10AAM and
T8397G00ABA. If those SPRs are not installed, some OSS applications might fail
at processor startup unless modified to include an initial delay (on the order of 10
seconds). This delay is not needed when you install those SPRs.
Without T8624G10AAM and T8397G00ABA, when an OSS shell is launched
immediately after a processor comes up, the shell needs to wait until processor
components of the OSS environment such as the OSS pipe server finish
initialization. The necessary delay can be achieved by adding an OSS sleep 10
command either to the STARTUPMSG attribute or as the first entry in the script
launched by the STARTUPMSG attribute.
See the sleep(1) reference page either online or in the Open System Services
Shell and Utilities Reference Manual for more information about the sleep
command.
For more information about the new attribute and considerations for its use, see
the SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem.
•
Beginning with the G06.24 RVU, the OSS gtacl command has two more optional
flags added to its command line. See the T8628AAJ softdoc for more information.
If you have to fall back to a previous RVU, scripts that contain one or more of these
optional flags must be revised because the function will not be available.
