•

The super ID password must not exceed 8 characters and must not contain

embedded blanks. If these conditions are not met, the super ID password must be

changed accordingly; otherwise, the super ID will be unable to logon after falling

back.

•

If the PASSWORD-MINIMUM-LENGTH attribute value exceeds 8, the system

administrator must change it to a value less than 8 using SAFECOM in a

Safeguard environment or PWCONFIG in a Standard Security environment.

•

Before falling back, users whose password exceeds 8 characters in length or

contains embedded spaces must request the system administrator to change their

password to a length less than or equal to 8 characters and to remove embedded

spaces.

Users whose password does not exceed 8 characters in length and does not

contain embedded spaces will be able to successfully logon after fallback.

If your current product version of spooler is T9101D41^ADM or later, you do not need

to restore copies of both the control file and the collector data files if you must back out

of the new RVU. All versions of T9101D41, starting with T9101 D41^ADM, contain

Version 5 of the spooler control file and are compatible with the T9101D46 and D48

product versions of spooler. However, it is always recommended that you back up both

the spooler control file and collector data files before migrating or changing the

configuration.

Checking Current Version

To determine which version of the spooler you are currently running, enter a VPROC

command for $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SPOOLCOM. This example shows that a D48

product version of the spooler is running:

$USER0 PRS 5> vproc $system.system.spoolcom

Backing Up the Spooler Environment

Before backing up the spooler environment, use the SPOOLCOM;SPOOLER,DRAIN

command to perform an orderly shutdown of the spooler. This strategy ensures that all

spooler control files and collector data files are closed. Failure to drain the spooler

before backing up the control file and collection files could cause problems while

attempting to recover the spooler environment.

Before executing the SPOOLCOM;SPOOLER,DRAIN command:
