Daylight saving patching troubles

TechC — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 17:13:44 GMT

Hello,
I have patched my 11.11 servers with the DST patch PHCO_34668. Also copied tztab file to the /usr/lib directory on our 10.20 servers. that being said the Document ID: c00832124 states "HP C++, HP aC++ runtime libraries:
For librwtool, the following or later patches should be installed, PHSS_33944." Also "Link Shared application can apply the C++ Runtime patch. Linked archived applications must be relinked." One, how can I determine if I need PHSS_33944 for the HP C++ runtime libraries and two, how can I determine if i have linked archived apps and how do i go about relinking them. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
James

Mr. Ferguson,
I search for the Doc ID c00849529 on ITRC and it comes back with zero results. I am I missing something?
Thanks
James

HI (again) James:

(Nice name!)

Make sure that you are logged in. You need a valid Support Contract. Navigate to the ITRC Technical Knowledge Database and click "Search by Doc ID" in the drop-down. Add the document ID (c00849529) and click "search".

Regards!

You need to ask your developers what they used for time info. Basically for librwtool, there are two classes: RWDate and RWZone.
for obsolete lib++.a, there is Time and Place.

>two, how can I determine if i have linked archived apps and how do i go about relinking them.

Again this is something you need to ask your developers. If you use chatr(1) and see librwtool*, you have linked shared. If you don't see anything, you don't know.

You could look at this link for more aC++ specific info:
http://www.hp.com/go/cpp

And follow the "HP aC++ and U.S. Daylight Saving Time (DST) date changes" link.

>JRF: document ID c00849529.

Hmm, I can see c00832124 off of this link: http://www.hp.com/go/dst/

I guess c00849529 has more aC++ details and this has been simplified when it was moved to the official link I provided.

If you have any feedback on the level of details you need in the two documents, please provide it here or with the one under my link. The one under c00849529 wasn't as polished.

Hi Dennis:

> I guess c00849529 has more aC++ details and this has been simplified when it was moved to the official link I provided.

Absolutely. I think a great deal of valuable information for C++ was lost when document c00849529 was ported into c00832124. Indeed, I think it would be worthwhile merging the entire Ansi C++ section (including the link to a test program) into the "official" c00832124.

Alternatively, add this link:

http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/files/unprotected/DST2.pdf

...which is referenced in your citation:

http://www.hp.com/go/cpp

That's not to say that c000832124 isn't a very good, very comprehensive document; it just needs the additional details.

Thanks & Regards!

>JRF: Absolutely. I think a great deal of valuable information for C++ was lost when document c00849529 was ported into c00832124.

The intention was that it be moved to the DST2.pdf one. And the aC++ stuff be moved to the aC++ web pages, similar to Java.

If you look at c00832124 today, you'll see a massive increase in the number of products listed, which left little room for aC++ and Java specifics.

>Alternatively, add this link:
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/files/unprotected/DST2.pdf

At the time that c00832124 was updated, we didn't have the DST2.pdf link. I'll pass on your suggestion about a direct link.
