Running Different Versions of NonStop AutoTMF on
the Same System
8. Restart the application programs.
Running Different Versions of NonStop AutoTMF on the Same
System
If you need to run different versions of NonStop AutoTMF on the same system, for
example to test a newer version of the product, you must configure an alternate
AutoTMF environment (Monitor and MapDB) and install the test software in a different
location than the subvolume currently in use. For details on configuring and using an
alternate environment, see Configuring and Using an Alternate NonStop AutoTMF
Environment on page A-4 in Appendix A, System Management.
Upgrading the Operating System
For systems running only TNS or TNS/R applications, an upgrade to the Operating
System does not require any specific updates to NonStop AutoTMF.
On Integrity NonStop servers or NonStop Blades running TNS/E applications, you must
update the versions of the DLLs that were rebased and prepared at the time the
current version of NonStop AutoTMF was installed. To do so, you can run the
UPDDLLS macro found in the AutoTMF operational subvolume. See Running
UPDDLLS on page A-16 in Appendix A, System Management for further details.
Disabling NonStop AutoTMF Software
To disable AutoTMF and run application programs, use any one of the following steps:

Alter the database files to unaudited. If no files are audited, the NonStop AutoTMF
runtime library will not perform any extra operations to manage automatic
transactions.

Stop the NonStop AutoTMF monitor process. If the monitor process is not available
to supply NonStop AutoTMF configuration information, the NonStop AutoTMF
runtime library will revert to the passthrough mode and will not perform any extra
operations to manage automatic transactions.

Alter the NonStop AutoTMF global configuration to disable automatic transactions.
The command is:
ALTER GLOBAL AUTOTMF OFF;
Removing NonStop AutoTMF Software
1. If you have prepared and bound your application’s user libraries with the NonStop
AutoTMF runtime library, restore those user libraries with copies that are
unprepared and unbound.
