TS/MP 2.1
The products T8697 (the older product version update of ARLIB) and T8923
(TIFSERVE) are not included in H-series RVUs. T8697 is being replaced by T2781
(ARLIB2). For more information, see the H06.09 Release Version Update
Compendium and appropriate TMF softdocs.
TS/MP 2.1
The HP NonStop TS/MP 2.1 was introduced in the H06.05 RVU. TS/MP 2.1 provides
Pathsend users with higher link capacity to client processes. TS/MP 2.1 is intended
solely for Pathsend users using TS/MP 2.0. It does not apply to SCOBOL users or
TS/MP 3.0 users.
Migration
In general, all TS/MP 2.0 applications that use Pathsend requestors 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 process configuration to achieve optimum
TS/MP 2.1 performance.
New ACS processes must be started via SCF at system startup and must be
managed. These processes are $ZPnn, $ZLnn, and $ZCSnn.
For details on these issues, see the TS/MP Supplement for Limits Relief.
Fallback
Consult the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC) if you have installed
TS/MP 2.1 and run applications that use Pathsend requestors, and then decide to fall
back to TS/MP 2.0.
Visual Inspect
Restart $IMON Required
If you use Visual Inspect, you must restart the Inspect Monitor process ($IMON) every
time you restart the system.
Upgrading Visual Inspect Client to Version 3.x
If you are currently running Visual Inspect client version 2.x, upgrading to version 3.x is
optional. However, to get the full benefit of the features and performance of the
H-series Visual Inspect servers and client, you must upgrade to Visual Inspect client
version 3.x. If you do plan to upgrade Visual Inspect client, HP recommends that you
upgrade to the latest version.
