H06.27 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

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.
OSI FTAM and MHS Longer Password Support
Starting with the H06.10 RVU, the OSI FTAM (T6982) and MHS (T7937) products support
passwords up to 64 bytes long. The passwords can also include special characters. To use these
features, the Standard Security T6533H04 SPR or later must be installed.
H06.11
Safeguard Logon Without a Password
Starting in the H06.11 RVU, Safeguard is enhanced to allow users to logon without a password.
(This capability can be used only if the SUPER.SUPER user has granted the program file that
permission through Safeguard.)
Migration
There are no migration or fallback considerations specific to the new logon feature. However, you
can use the mitigation procedure described under“Migration in a Safeguard Environment” (page 47)
to handle any unexpected failures that might occur when migrating to the new version of Safeguard.
For more information, see the Safeguard Administrator's Manual.
NonStop Secure Shell Server
NonStop Secure Shell (SSH) Server was introduced in the H06.11 RVU. NonStop SSH Server
provides secure communication between the MR-Win6530 terminal emulator (which replaces
OutsideView) and the NonStop server.
Migrating to SSH Server
NonStop SSH Server is an optional product, and must be set up for use with MR-Win6530. In
terms of network management, NonStop SSH Server uses port 22, so that port must be enabled
for NonStop SSH Server to work.
