2 Operating System The H06.05 RVU contains these operating system changes: • • • • Nonblocking Terminal I/O with OSS $ZTTnn OSS Fileset OSS Security APIs POSIX Threads Nonblocking Terminal I/O with OSS $ZTTnn The HP NonStop Open System Services (OSS) environment includes a new terminal helper server process, $ZTTnn (where nn is the processor number), in each processor.
OSS Security APIs Operating System OSS Security APIs • • The OSS environment now supports the C setregid() and setreuid() functions to make the porting of UNIX or Linux applications easier. Changes to the effective user ID or the effective group ID cause appropriate behavior across processors within a server and among servers. Safeguard auditing also tracks the changes.
3 Application Development Products The H06.05 RVU contains new features for this application development product: • TNS/R Cross Compilers TNS/R Cross Compilers TNS/R native compilers, libraries, and development tools are supported on TNS/E systems. This support enables compiling and linking for the TNS/R architecture on a TNS/E system. You can now build code for both the TNS/R and TNS/E architectures using a single development platform — the TNS/E platform.

Database and Transaction Processing Products Installation Installation Check that the HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF) is configured and running on the system node where you will install NonStop SQL/MX. For TMF installation instructions, see the TMF Planning and Configuration Guide. Note. All NonStop SQL/MX objects must reside on volumes audited by TMF. NonStop SQL/MX program files do not need to reside on audited volumes. Before installing NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.
Database and Transaction Processing Products TRANSFER Q Manager condition. Information about commit-hold is also displayed by the INFO AUDITTRAIL, STATUS AUDITTRAIL, and STATUS TMF commands.
Database and Transaction Processing Products Migration Migration In general, all TS/MP 2.0 applications that use Pathsend requesters and TS/MP 2.0 scripts (also called OBEY files) can run in a TS/MP 2.1 environment. However, you might need to modify the PATHMON environment configuration to achieve optimum TS/MP 2.1 performance (because of a new algorithm for link management that might require more or fewer links to server processes). Fallback You must consult HP support if you install TS/MP 2.
5 Installation and Configuration Products The H06.05 RVU contains these new installation and configuration features: • • • DSM/SCM Cross Platforms DSM/SCM Dial-Out Report DSM/SCM Hostname Change DSM/SCM Cross Platforms DSM/SCM now provides the ability to build a NonStop S-series (TNS/R) target configuration on an Integrity NonStop NS-series (TNS/E) host system.

Installation and Configuration Products DSM/SCM Hostname Change DSM/SCM Hostname Change • • The INITENV change option now allows you to: ° On a target system, transfer management of the target system from one existing host to another. A system load is not required. ° On a host system, change the host that is managing a target. A remote target can be managed by a different host. You can avoid re-initialization of the target and retain the configurations managed by DSM/SCM on the host for the target.
