TCPIP Service ECO5
openvms_patches > i64 > layered_products > i64,
But the kit was not there.
All of the other ECO's are there (1 - 4), but ECO 5 is not there. Am I looking in the wrong place, or am I just jumping the gun ??
Dave.

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
So I was hoping that it was available somewhere on the itrc FTP server.

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
tcpip show version
> [...]{openvms:i64:8.2,}[...]
There's something called
HP-I64VMS-TCPIP-V0506-9ECO5-1.ZIPEXE /.txt
under
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/i64/V8.2/
too.
TCPIP versions are tied so closely to VMS
versions these days that finding it among the
OS things instead of layered_products should
not amaze, I claim. Of course, a little
consistency might be nice, too.

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
The patches directory for 8.2 Alpha has a file called
".DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP-V0506-9ECO5-1.ZIPEXE" while V0506 is coupled to 8.3.
The patches directory for 8.3 Alpha has no TCPIP patch anymore (not even ECO4).
This directory also has files with datetimestamps in the future.

It was a model of ergonomy, so HP shut it, and kept the worst site.
Have a look to

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
In the alerts e-mail, the ECO is list as
Products: Open VMS i64 8.X patch.
and under description,
Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Integrity Server V8.2
So I am forced to ask - Is this OK for OpenVMS 8.3-1H1 bladeservers??

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
another warning: the TCPIP V5.6 ECO 9 kits for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64 seem to have been re-released as evidenced by the entries in the DECUServe ECO notes file:

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
You'll find these latest TCPIP ECO05 kits available by FTP at: ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/alpha/V8.2
and: ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/i64/V8.2
This breaks established conventions whereby we're previously seen them in the layered_products directory tree. I have to agree - it's another example of how the process of distributing patches has become too sloppy.
Over the past 2 years or so we've seen far too many patch kits being re-issued to fix things or update things - without the necessary rigour being applied to file naming, file locations, version numbering and documentation.
Can we please stick with established conventions, unless there's a really good reason to make changes.
Bear in mind that many of us work in environments where reliability and stability are the things that matter, so we have appropriate (and sometimes over-the-top) processes and procedures to follow before we put new versions and patches into service on production systems. For example, you can't just toss a patch into service on a major finance data system, or a national healthcare system, or an air traffic control systems.
Careless errors in patch kits and changes to the way that patches are published cause us a lot of unnecessary work and annoyance, which in turn leads to the businesses that run these systems becoming annoyed by it as well - which is bad for all of us.

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
It seemed to me that the layered_products folder was clearly the most appropriate place to put it, however if, as Steven claims, TCPIP is tightly aligned to the OS version, then I really needs to be available under all versions to which it applies.
Given Stevens comment, plus the fact that the description specifies v8.2, and it is located in folder V8.2, I am really not comfortable installing this on V8.3-1H1.
I really didn't think there was a strong coupling between TCPIP versions and OpenVMS versions!
Dave.

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
I can assure you, TCPIP V5.6 is the current version of TCPIP for OpenVMS V8.2 and later !
If you look back at the TCPIP V5.6 ECO 1 release notes for OpenVMS I64, it says:
'2.3 Version(s) of OpenVMS to which this kit may be applied:
OpenVMS Alpha V8.2 and later'
I probably means: OpenVMS I64 V8.2 or later
The structure and kind of information presented in the release notes has changed with TCPIP V5.6 ECO 4 (released 22-JUL-2009) ahs changed and unfortunatley left out the 'or later' string.

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
the DECUServe ECO notes conference is a good resource for viewing current and older OpenVMS release notes:

>>>Over the past 2 years or so we've seen far too many patch kits being re-issued to fix things or update things - without the necessary rigour being applied to file naming, file locations, version numbering and documentation.
And HP is certified ISO 9002, and many others I guess...
It would be funny if we were in the mood for laughing

Re: TCPIP Service ECO5
I still think that the ECO kits need to be included in the OS Version folder for all versions that it applies to.
Why would I (or should I) look for a product under a VMS Version I am not running???
