Tárgy: Updated VMS Information - First one of 2007
Dear Distribution lists,
Well here is the first OpenVMS Updated Information for 2007. This one
is pretty long since for the first time I sent out a pre-warning mail so
folks could send me cool information which worked pretty well. So I will
continue to do that. I hope that folks have had the chance to listen to
the VMS Audio Cast on OpenVMS.org that is really worth your time (see
Sue's Fav's for a pointer). Also if you have not looked into NetBeans for
VMS Alpha or I64 its really worth it (see From VMS Engineering). As
always I have nothing to do with hiring folks the job is just here as
information.
Warm Regards as always,
Sue

1.0.5 From Dave D
One of the OpenVMS hobbyists is attempting to develop a DCL
procedure that can used in batch for automated annual hobbyist
license renewal requests. OpenVMS hobbyists who think this might be
useful and/or have suggestions for possible implementation are
welcome to correspond with the author. Your ideas will be helpful in the
formation of this hopefully useful tool. Monitor the comp.os.vms Usenet
newsgroup or Google that group for the keywords "WGET" and "re-
licensing".

3.0.3 PERFORMANCE DATA COLLECTION DCL
Sebastiano Salvati has released a set of DCL procedures which gather
statistic data on the use of server geographically dispersed. The data
are then collected on a central server. This pool of procedures is used
for collection and pre-elaboration of principal Statistic data on the
utilization of an OpenVMS computer system. It was originally developed
to collect the data of all branch systems around the country of a major
national bank. It is part of a software architecture which includes:
* One agent running on a remote branch system: STAT$COLLECTOR
(this one)
* One central collector to gather and store data on a central
repository: STAT$CENTRAL_COLLECTOR
* A command file to start the agent: STAT$STARTUP
* A command file to start the central collector: STAT$CENTRAL_STARTUP
* A watch dog command file for the central collector
STAT$CENTRAL_WATCHER
It is based partially on the use of the MONITOR utility which is bundled
with the OpenVMS operating system.

6000 systems are now running up to 120 VUPs on single processor

4.0.3 Raxco Software Seeking Beta Testers for Products Ported to
Integrity Platform
Raxco Software, Inc., a longtime provider of system management
software for OpenVMS, is pleased to announce it has ported its
PerfectDisk and PerfectCache software to the Integrity platform.
Raxco is currently seeking beta testers to run PerfectDisk and/or
PerfectCache on Integrity servers. We are prepared to offer beta
testers one (1) free product license and a 50% discount on additional
licenses for their participation in the test program. Raxco will provide
the beta test requirements.
PerfectDisk differs from the OVMS defragmenter in several key ways.
While it defragments files it also consolidates the free space on the
disk. This provide maximum disk space utilization and improves both
disk read and write speeds. The free space consolidation also slows re-
fragmentation of the disk.
PerfectDisk also arranges files by their access patterns grouping rarely
accessed files together. As long as these files remain in this category
they do not need to be moved on subsequent defrags. This reduces
defrag time and saves resources. Conversely, recently accessed files
are located adjacent to the consolidated free space which makes it
easier for them to grow with minimal fragmentation. All of this is done
in comparable time and with less CPU usage than the OVMS
defragmenter.
PerfectCache accelerates disk I/O several fold and reduces the time it
takes applications to complete a task. In our preliminary testing
PerfectCache was up to 20% faster than the OVMS cache technology.
PerfectCache on OVMS uses a unique file allocation algorithm that
ensures maximum caching and accelerates file access for optimal
performance.
You can enroll in the PerfectDisk and/or PerfectCache beta test
program by sending us an email OVMSBeta at raxco.com . A Raxco
technical representative will contact you with details.
