Product Version and SPR Identifiers

For example, this VPROC command displays information for the T1051 product that is

associated with SQL/MX Release 3.0.0 for H-series RVUs:

T1051H30_14FEB2011_H30_300_1130

The SQL/MX Master Softdoc (T0650) for each SQL/MX release refers to the release

name and VPROC information.

Product Version and SPR Identifiers

Each SQL/MX release is associated with a product version identifier and possibly an

SPR identifier.

Each product version identifier (for example, “H30”) includes:



Supported platform of the product using “H” for systems running H-series or J-

series RVUs



SQL/MX release number (for example, “30” for SQL/MX Release 3.0)

For an initial product version (PV) of NonStop SQL/MX, the product version identifier is

not accompanied by an SPR identifier. For example, the initial PV of SQL/MX Release

3.0 on systems running H-series RVUs is referred to as “H30.”

For a product version update (PVU) of NonStop SQL/MX, the product version identifier

is accompanied by an SPR identifier. For example, the PVU of SQL/MX Release 3.0

on systems running H-series RVUs is referred to as “H30^ACF” where “ACF” is the

SPR identifier.

Availability of SQL/MX Releases

Each SQL/MX release is made available to customers as a General Availability (GA)

release, a Controlled Availability (CA) release, or an Early Adopter Program (EAP)

release.

A GA release is available to any customer who orders the product and whose system

meets the prerequisites for using the product.

A CA release limits the shipment of a product to a set of customers who agree to

specific use conditions, which include migrating to a GA release when it is ready. For

example, the SQL/MX DDL license (T0394) has controlled availability for current

SQL/MX releases.

An EAP release introduces a new product to customers at a very early stage and is a

type of test program conducted at a customer site.
