H06.27 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Fallback
Embedded spaces in passwords are not supported in pre-H06.09 RVUs. Any user with a password
that contains embedded spaces will be unable to login after fallback. Fallback considerations are:
• Pre-H06.08 RVUs do not support the Safeguard longer password feature. Therefore, when
falling back to a pre-H06.08 RVU, users must first follow the steps described under “Fallback
in a Safeguard Environment” (page 47).
• When falling back to H06.08 or earlier:
The super ID password must not contain embedded blanks.◦
◦ PASSWORD-COMPATIBILITY-MODE must be set to ON.
◦ Users whose password contains embedded spaces must request a new password.
C H06.09 and Later Fallback
Starting with the H06.09 RVU , the C++ Version 3 runtime library (ZCPP3DLL) is upgraded to the
latest release of the Dinkumware C++ runtime library in order to support the ISO/IEC IS 14882
language specification and to upgrade the exception handling mechanism in the H-series C++
Version Neutral DLL (ZCPPDLL) for improved performance.
In the event of a fallback, applications compiled with the upgraded headers must be recompiled;
otherwise, they will not execute on the earlier RVU.
H06.10
NonStop SQL/MX 2.3 Interoperability and Installation
NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.3 is introduced in the H06.10 RVU. NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.3,
which has no G-series equivalent, provides this new functionality:
• Provides an online variant of the POPULATE INDEX and MODIFY utilities
• Generates modules files in Guardian directories
• Projects only the requested number of rows from the table instead of scanning the complete
table
• Introduces a new Control Query Default statement (CQD)
NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.3 is interoperable with compatible releases of NonStop SQL/MX.
Interoperability between G-series and H-series RVUs is supported by NonStop SQL/MX on H06.03
and later RVUs For more information about the interoperability of NonStop SQL/MX releases, see
the SQL/MX Database and Application Migration Guide.
If you have the H06.04 or later RVU on your system, you can install SQL/MX Release 2.3. For
installation information, see the SQL/MX Installation and Management Guide.
Installing NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.3
Check that the HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF) is configured and running on
the system node where you will install NonStop SQL/MX. See the TMF Planning and Configuration
Guide for TMF installation guidelines.
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, review the instructions for preinstalling and installing NonStop
SQL/MX provided in the SQL/MX Installation and Management Guide.
