OSS Standard Posix Threads
If you did not install the DP2 fallback SPR before migrating to G06.29, you must install
the SPR upon fallback to ensure a successful fallback.
DSAP/DCOM
The SPR of DSAP/DCOM (T9543G08^ABJ) delivered in G06.29 is large OSS file safe,
but previous SPRs are not. T9543G08^ABJ supports G06.24 and later RVUs. If you fall
back from G06.29 to a system running a G06.24 or later RVU, HP recommends that
you install T9543G08^ABJ after the fallback.
The DSAPDDL file in T9543G08^ABJ is changed, resulting in a different work file
layout. If you install T9543G08^ABJ, you must use the DSAPDDL file distributed with
T9543G08^ABJ when running ENFORM queries on the work file created with this
SPR. For additional information on the DSAPDDL file changes, see Migration on
page 2-8.
Backup and Restore 2 and File System
If you are falling back to a system running a G06.23 through G06.28 RVU, install these
Backup and Restore 2 SPRs to restore files smaller than 2 GB:
•
T2721G06^AAL, BRCOM
•
T2722G06^AAL, BR2 TAPE SERVICES
•
T2749G06^AAL, BR2 DMA & CSP
•
T2750G06^AAL, B/R 2 DATA SERVICE
In addition to the Backup and Restore 2 SPRs, install the file system SPR:
•
T9055G11^AFI for G06.23 through G06.26 RVUs
•
T9055G12^AFJ for G06.27
Files larger than 2 GB are skipped. The Backup and Restore 2 and the file system
SPRs do not support pre-G06.23 RVUs. You cannot restore OSS files to G06.22 or
earlier RVUs.
OSS Standard Posix Threads
The OSS Standard Posix Threads product (T1248) is enhanced to:
•
Catch externally generated OSS signals in addition to the synchronous signals that
result from events occurring inside the process.
•
Deliver caught signals to the correct thread.
As a part of this enhancement, these new APIs are available:
•
spt_alarm()
•
spt_signal()
Note. For G06.28, the required file system SPR is already included in the G06.28 SUT.
