We will be introducing a new OpenVMS Security class on March 7th at 
our Denver facility. This class is a result of many requests from our 
customer base. This class can be delivered "internationally" as well. 
Europe and Asia would not be an issue.  I have included the web site

Subject:	 Announcing TDMS for OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 and I64 8.2

Hello Field Test sites,

We have yet another product available for use with OpenVMS Alpha 
and I64 - it's TDMS (Terminal Data Management System). The following 
message comes from Bob Sampson, who's ported TDMS to the Integrity 
server platform. Kits for use on Alpha 7.3-2 and 
I64 8.2 are available via ftp (see below for file locations).   Note that 
Oracle Rdb and CDD are prerequisite products.

Three TDMS documents are included in this mail.  However, 3 others are 
available separately (the Installation Guide in HTML format, 
the Release Notes, and the SPD in .PostScript format), so please feel 
free to contact me via this Ops account if you need/want those 
documents.

Please use the Topaz External Field Test folder in PTR to report any 
problems you encounter with the software. 
If you have questions/comments about the TDMS software or 
documentation, please feel free to contact Bob Sampson.

Thanks,

- Sue 

TDMS (Terminal Data Management System) Software for OpenVMS I64 
(a.k.a. I64 TDMS) is now available for evaluation and field test on 
Integrity servers running OpenVMS 8.2.     Please follow these steps to 
install the ported TDMS software:

1) Obtain the appropriate Rdb and CDD kits directly from Oracle:

For OpenVMS I64 E8.2: Register for the Oracle Rdb Beta Test Program 
at http://otnbeta.oracle.com/Rdb/index.htm . 
Once accepted, you can download the rdbadk.zip and cddadk.zip (7.2 
beta) kits. 

For OpenVMS Alpha E8.2: Unfortunately, no Oracle Rdb and CDD kits 
are available at present for Alpha 8.2 field test. Oracle plans to provide 
rebuilt kits for the OpenVMS Alpha V8.2 production release (~Dec. 
2004). Until then, 
Alpha TDMS should be evaluated on a released, current, and supported 
platform, such as OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2, 
Oracle Rdb V7.1x, and CDD V7.0x.

2) Install and start Oracle Rdb.

3) Install and start Oracle CDD Repository.

4) Register and load the TDMS field test license key onto your OpenVMS 
system, by executing the DCL command procedure 
   appropriate to your platform:

	For OpenVMS I64 E8.2  			For 
OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2: 

5) Read the Installation Guide:

	Additionally, the Installation Guide (in HTML format), the 
Release Notes, and the SPD (in .PS format) are available; 
	please let me know if you are interested in them.

6) Using ftp, pull the TDMS kit(s) from the following locations to your 
current default directory.  We recommend that
  you install the development (DEV) kit, rather than the evaluation 
(EVA) kit. The run-time only (RTO) kit is provided
  for those who wish to evaluate TDMS without having to obtain and 
install Oracle software. Note that you must retrieve 
  each kit individually using the complete link given here:

7) Next, expand the kit by running the self-expanding Info-ZIP archive 
file. 

8) Install the resulting PCSI kit, using the DCL command: PRODUCT 
INSTALL TDMS_DEV.

9) Choose the installation options to re-link all provided images. This is 
recommended, although it might not be necessary.

Please enter any problem reports with this software in the Topaz 
External Field Test PTR folder.

release of TDMS software, please visit the TDMS web pages at:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/commercial/tdms/tdms_fixed_price_service
.html 

Please request specific purchase and pricing information by e-mail from 
Jim.Rallis at hp.com , or ask your HP Sales 
Representative to contact him.   I64 TDMS V8.2 should be available by 
January 2005.  Alpha TDMS V1.9C (2003-12-01) is 
available now.
