Software Release Documents (Softdocs)
Software Release Documents (Softdocs)
A softdoc provides information about a software product revision, supplementing a
product’s manuals between editions. Softdocs can describe:
•
Hardware, firmware, and software dependencies
•
Migration considerations
•
Installation considerations and instructions
•
Changed and related manuals
•
New features
•
Problems corrected
•
Known problems remaining
Softdocs are available through the NTL Softdoc Archive and Scout for NonStop
Servers.
See Appendix A, What Is in a Softdoc, for information about the contents of softdoc
files.
Support Notes
Support Notes provide technical information of a more routine nature than that
published in Hotstuff messages. Support Notes are also issued to announce:
•
User Documentation for an RVU
•
Release of an RVU
•
Release of an Independent Product Update
Support Notes are delivered through ExpressNotice. You might receive a copy of a
Support Note from your service provider if the information is deemed appropriate for
your particular operations environment.
Support Notes are available through the NTL Support and Service Library and Scout
for NonStop Servers.
