2 Operating System The H06.06 RVU contains these operating system changes: • • • NonStop Operating System OSS Files Larger Than 2 GB OSS Standard Posix Threads NonStop Operating System Beginning with 2007, daylight saving time (DST) for the United States changes. The NonStop Operating System (T9050) is enhanced to reflect the DST changes for 2007 and later. Migration • • If the DST option is TABLE and you want to implement the new U.S.
OSS Files Larger Than 2 GB Operating System OSS Files Larger Than 2 GB As of H06.06, NonStop Open System Services (OSS) supports files larger than the previous limit of approximately 2 gigabytes (GB) in the OSS file system, DP2, C runtime library, C++ run-time library, COBOL run-time library, and the OSS utilities. The OSS file system and utilities can handle OSS files up to a limit of 1 terabyte, although the upper limit of the actual file size depends on the size of the volume containing the file.
Large OSS File Aware and Large OSS File Safe APIs Operating System • • • • • • • • • • • ftruncate64() lseek64() fcntl() fstat64() lstat64() stat64() fstatvfs64() statvfs64() readdir64() ftw64() nftw64() Existing file I/O APIs are modified to fail safely on OSS files larger than 2 GB. These APIs return an error (EOVERFLOW or EFBIG) when an action cannot be performed on OSS files larger than 2 GB or an attribute cannot be represented for such a file.
Large OSS File Aware and Large OSS File Safe APIs Operating System • • • • scandir64() tmpfile64() tmpfile64_guardian() tmpfile64_oss() These native C run-time library APIs are large OSS file safe: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • fclose() fflush() fgetc() fgetpos() fgets() fgetwc() fgetws() fopen_oss() fprintf() fputc() fputs() fputwc() fputws() fread() freopen_oss() fwrite() fscanf() fseek() fsetpos() ftell() getc() getchar() gets() getw() getwc() getws() get
Interoperability Operating System file aware for programs built with the large file compilation environment (that is, macro _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is defined to have value 64). Interoperability • Interoperability for file copy operations: HP NonStop programs that are capable of copying files from one system to another behave appropriately when the target system runs on a pre-H06.06 RVU. The programs successfully copy files smaller than 2 GB, which appear as Guardian Format 1 files on the target system.
Fallback Operating System • • Before migrating to H06.06, HP recommends that H06.04 users install the DP2 fallback SPR T9053AQM in case a fallback becomes necessary. For additional information on the SPR, see Fallback on page 2-6. T9053AQM is on the H06.05 SUT. Installing the T9053AQM SPR requires a system load. If you have a tape file with a mix of OSS files smaller than and larger than 2 GB that need to be restored to a H06.
OSS Standard Posix Threads Operating System DSAP/DCOM The H06.06 version of DSAP/DCOM (T9543H01^ABH) is large OSS file safe, but preH06.06 versions are not. If you fall back from H06.06 to an earlier RVU, HP recommends that you install T9543H01^ABH after the fallback. Backup and Restore 2 If you are falling back to H06.05, install the Backup and Restore 2 SPR T0744H01^AAA to restore files smaller than 2 GB. Files larger than 2 GB are skipped. T0744H01^AAA does not support pre-H06.05 RVUs.

3 Application Development Products The H06.06 RVU contains new features for these application development products: • • Native Inspect Visual Inspect Native Inspect Native Inspect now supports debugging of COBOL programs. Visual Inspect Visual Inspect supports multibyte characters in breakpoint condition text. This support enables you to specify characters from languages such as Chinese and Japanese. Upgrading to Visual Inspect client version 3.x is optional.

6 Manageability Products The H06.06 RVU contains new features for these manageability products: • • Backup and Restore 2 Safeguard Backup and Restore 2 Backup and Restore 2 supports these features: • • • Support for OSS files larger than 2 GB BACKCOPY command to copy backup image data from one tape set to another Support for SQL/MX tables, catalogs, and schemas containing delimiters For details, see the Backup and Restore 2 Manual.
Encryption Manageability Products Encryption If PASSWORD-ALGORITHM is set to DES or PASSWORD-ENCRYPT is set to OFF, the password (DES-encrypted or in clear text, respectively) is written to both the existing L/USERID and the new L/USERAX files. This approach allows for direct fallback to earlier versions of Safeguard and Standard Security. If you enable the new HMAC256 encryption option, each subsequently changed password is encrypted using HMAC with the SHA256 algorithm and stored in L/USERAX.
Fallback in a Safeguard Environment Manageability Products Fallback in a Safeguard Environment Because of the new password encryption algorithm, fallback requires advance planning. In all cases, fall back to the previous version of security software. If PASSWORD-ENCRYPT is set to OFF or PASSWORD-ALGORITHM is set to DES, no extra fallback steps are required. If PASSWORD-ENCRYPT is HMAC256, extra fallback steps are required.
Additional Technical Information Manageability Products If ALGORITHM is set to HMAC256: • • • When users first change their password after HMAC256 is enabled, they must remember their immediate previous password. After fallback, users must use their old password to log into the system if one of these statements is true: ° Their user account existed before the installation of the H03 version of Standard Security.
