requisite SPR
requisite SPR. An SPR that either provides required function or data to enable a specific fix
or feature in a requiring SPR to be fully functional (to use the requisite product). A
requisite SPR is required when using the requiring SPR to maintain compatibility with
another product.
requiring SPR. An SPR that has one or more requisite SPRs.
restricted SPR. An SPR that is made available only for a specific situation, as determined
on a case-by-case basis. The defect repairs and features introduced in a Restricted
SPR are usually a one-time solution and access is therefore restricted. A Restricted
SPR that supersedes an Unrestricted SPR contains all the features and fixes present
in that SPR. If you do not need a fix specific to the Restricted SPR, you can install the
superseded Unrestricted SPR.
RVU. See release version update (RVU).
Scout for NonStop Servers. A Web-based SPR analysis and delivery tool that lets you
retrieve information about software release version update (RVU)s and SPRs. It
includes options for determining the prerequisites for and obtaining SPRs (either
through tape or electronic delivery).
secondary requisite. A requisite that provides the function of a primary requisite but is not
a primary requisite (it supersedes or accumulates the primary requisite).
SID. See SPR Introduction Document (SID).
site update tape (SUT). One or more tapes that contain a target system's site-specific
subvolume and various products. Each product contains a softdoc and a complete set
of files. A SUT is delivered with every new HP NonStop system. Updates can be
requested whenever a new release of the system software is available. A SUT
contains all standard products relevant to the system type for which it is created plus
all optional products that have been licensed for use on that system, including release
documentation.
softdoc. See software release document (softdoc).
Software Product Maintenance List (SPML) Document. A file that describes the current
maintenance levels of HP NonStop Kernel software products, including functions not
carried forward in new release version updates (RVU)s, changes in support structures
for products, and products scheduled for discontinuation or obsolescence (support
termination).
software product revision (SPR). Any incremental update to a software product. An SPR
can include one or more corrections to program code, or it can contain code that adds
new function to a software product.
Software Recall/Withdrawal message. A type of Hotstuff message that indicates that an
SPR has been recalled or withdrawn.
