It may be brief but we have some very cool<br />information.

As with all new technologies these concepts take<br />some time to assimilate and understand within a customer's environment,<br />especially one running business critical applications on OpenVMS.<br />However, a major bank has become the first OpenVMS customer to order<br />iCAP and Temporary iCAP licenses (TiCAP) to reduce the cost-of-ownership<br />of Montecito based CPUs, and to be able to respond instantly to<br />increased demand precisely when needed. <br /><br />A similar capability also exists for OpenVMS Leased systems called Pay<br />per use - PPU.<br />---------------------------<br /><br />Index<br />1.0 Boot Camp Update<br />2.0 From VMS Engineering<br />HP OPC TRANSPORT T1.0 FOR OPENVMS INTEGRITY SERVERS<br />HP COBOL V2.9 field test<br />3.0 From our Partners - Parsec<br />4.0 Sue's Fav's<br />----------------------------------<br />1.0 OpenVMS Advanced Technical Boot Camp Update and notes<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://h71000.www7.hp.com/symposium/index.html">http://h71000.www7.hp.com/symposium/index.html</a><br /><br />Please register as soon as possible and make your hotel reservations.<br />The hotel room rate is only good until April 30 after that time the<br />price will increase. <br /><br />In the next week you will see a more refined agenda and a new session by<br />Andy Goldstein has been added - Secure Privileged Subsystems.

The field test kit<br />and documentation are now available from the HP OPC Transport web site<br />at: <a target="_blank" href="http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/opc/index.html">http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/opc/index.html</a> .<br /><br />HP OPC Transport T1.0 is available on the OpenVMS Integrity server<br />platform only. Its use is intended for OLE for Process Control (OPC)<br />environments and is a subset of COM. Only unauthenticated COM is<br />supported.<br /><br />Refer to the "Installation Guide and Release Notes" document for product<br />prerequisites. This guide also describes how to install and configure<br />HP OPC Transport for OpenVMS Integrity servers.<br /><br />Problem reports and any issues that you experience with the OPC<br />Transport field test kit can be reported to the <a onclick="parent.outerOpenWrite('write', 'openvms.ebusiness@hp.com','','','','read')" href="javascript:void(0)">openvms.ebusiness@hp.com</a><br />email address.<br /><br />Thank you for participating in the OPC Transport field test. <br /><br />2.2 HP COBOL V2.9 field test<br /><br />HP are seeking field test sites for the next version of HP COBOL for<br />OpenVMS Alpha and I64. <br />Here is the request from John Reagan: <br /><br />"Dear Friends-of-COBOL (I know you are out there), we are getting ready<br />for V2.9 of COBOL for OpenVMS I64 and OpenVMS Alpha. We are looking for<br />a few sites to help us test. <br /><br />V2.9 contains only bug fixes, no new functionality (well, we may sneak a<br />/VERSION qualifier on the compiler) is planned. <br /><br />Bug fixes include: <br />- On I64 only, very large COBOL applications (ie, LOTS of modules,<br />HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS of lines), may not link due to way the COBOL<br />compiler kept asking the linker for various address constants. The sheer<br />number of address constants would overflow the size of the short<br />section. If you have this problem, you already know about it. The linker<br />will just refuse to link you application. We have modified the compiler<br />to generate code that needs fewer linker-generated address constants. <br />- The COBOL front-end lied to the code-generator about the alignment of<br />fields in records. The front-end got the offset correct, but told GEM<br />the wrong alignment (normally, GEM can figure out the alignment from the<br />offset, but COBOL is different... you don't wanna know...). GEM believed<br />the front-end and would generate code based on the alignment knowledge.<br />That resulted on TONS of alignment faults. On I64, that really hurts. On<br />Alpha, not so much. We've fixed the front-end to compute the correct<br />alignment information. I64 users in particular may see large performance<br />increases. Alpha users might see improvement as well. <br />- A few other bug fixes for things like Kanji currency symbols and other<br />strange things. <br /><br />So if you can get a new kit from us and recompile/retest your COBOL code<br />to make sure we didn't, er, ah, screw up. So send me email<br />(firstname.lastname @ hp.com) and we can talk." <br /><br />-----------------------------<br /><br />3.0 From our Partners - Parsec<br /><br /><br />PARSEC Group has created some pages on our website listing some <br />undocumented OpenVMS features. This is a consolidation of information we<br /><br />have run across over the years. Some of the features are listed on other<br /><br />sites, some we have not been able to find anywhere else. For some <br />interesting reading, go to <br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.parsec.com/openvms/undocumented.php">http://www.parsec.com/openvms/undocumented.php</a>. If anyone has additional<br /><br />information on some undocumented features, there is a link at the bottom<br /><br />of the page to send it to us. We will verify the information and <br />consider adding it to the list.<br /><br />-------------------------------<br />4.0 Sue's Fav's<br /><br />This is very important and should be bookmarked<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://h71000.www7.hp.com/new/events.html">http://h71000.www7.hp.com/new/events.html</a> this is an ongoing list of<br />events where VMS will be.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span>
