•
DCE_SERVERCLASS_DIALOG_ABORT_
Aborts the dialog specified by the dialog ID. This procedure does not perform I/O
operations.
NonStop SQL/MP
In G06.24, a new option SQLNULLABLE has been added to the SQLCI COPY, LOAD,
and APPEND commands to support SQLNULLABLE DDL clause for loading null
values from Enscribe to SQL or from SQL to Enscribe.
TMF
The HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF) includes T2076, T2781,
T8302, T8606, T8607, T8608, T8609, T8652, T8694, T8695, T8696, T8697, and
T8698. For G06.24, a new product version (TMF G08) is introduced that includes these
features:
•
Support for dramatically larger audit-trail files than previous TMF versions allowed.
(The previous file size limit was less than 2047 MB; the new limit is 1048575 MB.)
The large audit-trail files help TMF meet the growing demand for faster and more
frequent audit-trail rollovers resulting from the greater machine speeds and audit-
generation rates now prevailing at many customer sites. Specific operations allow
you to:
°
Change the FILESIZE attribute of existing audit-trail files to range up to 2047
MB for format 1 files and up to 1048575 MB for format 2 files without
application downtime.
°
Alter the format of files in an existing audit-trail configuration from format 1 to
format 2 while TMF is stopped.
•
Native-mode versions of audit-trail reading routines, in a library called ARLIB2, that
support large audit-trails.
•
The ability of TMF to determine which RDF environment has an audit-trail file
pinned and report this in the STATUS AUDITTRAIL command output.
Migration
Consider the current audit-trail configuration when migrating to G06.24. TMF now
provides the capability to create much larger audit-trail files with G06.24, but TMF must
be stopped in a clean state to execute the TMFCOM command to enable this ability. If
audit-trail files greater than 2 GB are part of the long-term audit-trail configuration
Note. ARLIB will not receive future enhancements and, if you have any customer-
developed or third-party products (including those from NTI, ITI, or Golden Gate) that read
the audit trail, you might need to upgrade this software before changing the format of your
audit trails.
