Summary:

Manuals:            425265-002 ASAP Extension Manual

Installation Considerations:

   Subsystem interruption required

   - Perform these pre-installation steps:

     1. If you are migrating from release 1 of ASAPX, read the
        comments and examples on release 1 to release 2 migration in
        the ASAP Extension Manual and perform the tasks described
        there.

     2. Ensure that requirements for using this SPR are met (see
        Req't PVUs, Req'd HW, and Req'd SW).

     3. Review the IPSetup User Guide (file USRGUIDE.PDF in the NSK_SW
        subdirectory on the ASAPX CD). IPSetup is provided on the CD
        to facilitate installation of Independent Products. Use Adobe
        Acrobat Reader (available on the CD) to read or print the
        IPSetup User Guide.

     4. Decide whether you will use DSM/SCM to move the SPR's files to
        the Installation Subvolumes (ISVs) after they are placed on
        the NonStop server.  Using DSM/SCM is optional, but
        recommended when DSM/SCM is available.

   - Perform these installation-related steps:

     1. Run IPSetup to place (move files from the CD to the NonStop
        server) and optionally install (move files to correct ISVs)
        this SPR. If TCP/IP and FTP are unavailable, or if you have
        problems with automatic file placement, follow the
        instructions in the IPSetup User's Guide section "Manual
        Software Placement Using the IPSetup TACL Program" to manually
        place the files.

     2. If you are using DSM/SCM to install this SPR:
        - COPY the SPR to a new revision of the software configuration
          you want to update.
        - BUILD and APPLY the configuration revision.
        - Run ZPHIRNM to perform the RENAME step.

   - Perform these post-installation steps:

     1. Run ASAP Extension INSTALL to update the ASAPX subsystem:

        a.  TACL 1 > VOLUME $<ISV-VOLUME>.ZASAPX
        b.  TACL 2 > RUN INSTALL
        c.  Fill in the source and destination subvolumes. To install
            to a remote node, fully qualify the destination subvolume
            name. For example, \remote.$system.system.

New Features:       NONE

Problems Corrected:

  1. [AAC]
     SYMPTOMS:  Compiler errors when referencing asapx.h from C++.
     CONDITIONS:  Dependent upon the C++ compiler.
     LIKELIHOOD:  Likely
     WORKAROUNDS:  Edit $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ASAPXH and change parenthesis
       to braces for C++ and add missing #endif statement.

     (SOLN 10-021002-2120)

  2. [AAC]
     SYMPTOMS:  File error 97 returned for ENDTRANSACTION.
     CONDITIONS:  When ASAP_REGISTER_ is called from within a user
       transaction with a very short timeout value.
     LIKELIHOOD:  Likely
     FIX-INFO:  ASAPX no longer participates in the application
       transaction so canceled I/O operations to ASAPXMON will not
       result in error 97.

     (SOLN 10-021205-6906)

  3. [AAC]
     SYMPTOMS:  Duplicate domains in the domain table.
     CONDITIONS:  NONE
     LIKELIHOOD:  Unlikely
     FIX-INFO:  ASAPX now reports an EMS event when it encounters a
       file error while attempting to remove a domain from the domain
       table.

     (NO SOLN)

Known Problems Remaining:

  1. SYMPTOMS:  Corrupted ASCII text when supplied as the replace
       value (math 1) for a constant dataitem.
     CONDITIONS:  NONE
     LIKELIHOOD:  Certain
     WORKAROUNDS:  As of T0403AAB, use math 2 to replace a constant
       dataitem with 8 bytes of printable ASCII text.

     (SOLN 10-020207-6531)

  2. SYMPTOMS:  Delayed response from ASAP_REGISTER_ call.
     CONDITIONS:  Can only occur when ASAPX is running in
       "write-to-collector" mode on a very busy system with queueing
       on the disk process.
     LIKELIHOOD:  Unlikely
     WORKAROUNDS:  As of T0403AAB, use the ASAP_REGISTER_ Timeout
       parameter to set a lower timeout value for calls to
       ASAP_REGISTER_.
