H06.12 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

configuring and installing a minimal OSS subsystem for the first time or when starting, stopping,
or removing an OSS subsystem. For setup and fallback purposes, OSS EasySetup provides:
• A journal file of all installation and configuration actions
• A file that records the directory structure of the initial OSS file installation
• A configuration file to partially automate restarting the OSS subsystem. This file can be
edited as needed when the configuration changes.
Starting with G06.23, OSS EasySetup no longer requires the process $NULL and the installation
of SPI template files.
Minimum Memory Requirements
Integrity NonStop NS-series servers provide a 4 GB logical processor. For more information on
logical processors available, see the appropriate planning guide for your system.
Pathway/iTS 1.1
Pathway iTS/1.1, introduced in the H06.10 RVU, supports the following SCOBOL statements:
• DIALOG-BEGIN
• DIALOG-SEND
• DIALOG-ABORT
• DIALOG-END
These statements enable users to send more than 32000 bytes of data to the same Pathway server
using a context-sensitive communication model.
These new features are provided by the PathTCP4 (T0700) component of Pathway/iTS.
Migration
Pathway/iTS 1.1 includes both PathTCP3 and PathTCP4. PathTCP3 is unchanged.
Migration to PathTCP4 is optional. If you select PathTCP4, examine the SCOBOL client programs
for error handling and, optionally, implement the new SCOBOL verbs for dialog-style
communication. To carry the new features to the converted Java clients, first convert the modified
SCOBOL application, and then deploy the converted application. To use the new features, you
must configure Path TCP4 as the TCP object in the Pathway environment configuration and
determine on which CPUs PathTCP4 will execute, since it is a Pathsend requestor.
Once modified for PathTCP4, an application cannot be used with PathTCP3.
PSTATE (T0705H01) and WHOHAS (T0706H01)
PSTATE and WHOHAS are two tools that are owned and supported by the Global Mission
Critical Solution Center (GMCSC). As of H06.03 and G06.26, these two tools are delivered to
customers on the SUT.
• PSTATE provides a snapshot of the status of a running process. It provides everything that
TACL STATUS, DETAIL does plus information about all files open by the process and what
I/Os are outstanding.
• WHOHAS provides a list of processes that have open files. WHOHAS gives the same
information as FUP LISTOPENS but can report on all files, devices and processes in the
system.
SANMAN and SNETMON
These two SCF SANMAN (T0502) displays have been enhanced:
• SCF INFO CONN $ZZSMN
• SCF STATUS CONN $ZZSMN
