IMPORTANT NOTICE

The online distribution of OpenVMS and related product patches is being migrated to the HP ITRC (Information Technology Resource Center) patch distribution site. The new ITRC patch server will allow OpenVMS customers to take advantage of many enhanced features for patch searching and distribution.

Beginning August 1, 2003, OpenVMS and related Layered Product, publicly available patches will be available from the HP ITRC web site at

http://itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

The same patches will still be available from the existing patch server in Colorado Springs (http://www.support.compaq.com/patches/) through the end of October 2003, to give customers sufficient time to update their bookmarks and make the transition to the HP ITRC web site.

ECO kits will also be available by raw FTP from (ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/).

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS AND REGISTER ON THE NEW SITE NOW

Note: if you're having trouble connecting to the ITRC site, please delete any cookies for "itrc.hp.com" from your browser and try again. Report any difficulties with or suggestions to MrVMS

    ECO KIT SUMMARY:
    
    An ECO (patch) kit exists for Working Set Management on OpenVMS VAX V6.1.
    This kit addresses the following problem:
    
    Problems Addressed in VAXSYS16_061:
    
      o  $PURGWS executes at elevated IPL.  For processes with very
         large working sets (hundreds of thousands of pages) this can
         mean several seconds at IPL8.  This causes other things to
         break and time-out (e.g., cluster connections).
    
         This problem is corrected in OpenVMS VAX V6.2
    
    
    Problems Addressed in VAXSYS02_061:
    
      o  Beginning with OpenVMS VAX V6.0, creation of a detached process
         or a subprocess results in the permanent loss of 4 pages from
         the process page file quota.  Repeat spawning will eventually
         deplete the process page file quota.
    
         This problem was fixed in OpenVMS VAX V6.2.

    ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
    
    If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
    electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services

      [AES] How To Electronically Request ECO (Patch) Kits Using Service Tools
    
    
    INSTALLATION NOTES:
    
    In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
    must be rebooted.  If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the
    entire cluster should be rebooted.
