Tárgy: OpenVMS Update - Ok for external


Dear Distribution Lists,

I hope this message finds you well on this beautiful day. You will notice in this update that we are coming into the busy season for events. There are all kinds of things for you to be involved with.

On a sad note, the VMS community lost a huge corner stone last week when Dick Hustvedt passed away. He will be remember by us all with much affection. Our thoughts are with Audrey and their sons at this time of loss. Here is his son's blog

Warm Regards,
Sue

On April 26, 2008
Mr. Gezelter will present OpenVMS for the Hobbyist:
Industrial Strength at No Cost as part of the 33rd Annual Trenton Computer Festival, one of the oldest forums for computing hobbyists.

Hewlett-Packard's OpenVMS is ranked as the Gold Standard for security and reliability. Since May 1997, over 1,200,000 licenses have been issued at no-cost to hobbyists who wish to work with OpenVMS on a non-commercial, personal hobby basis. The low-cost availability of VAX, Alpha, and simulated environments has made fully functional Hobbyist OpenVMS systems including all features within the reach of every hobbyist.

This presentation will cover the functionality available with the OpenVMS Hobbyist program and how to get started as an OpenVMS hobbyist.

A complete abstract of this talk and information about the presentation can be found at:

BRUDEN-OSSG Announces the Addition of "Think Link" and VHPT White Paper

April 11, 2008
The Think Link will get you to a page of technical articles and white papers of interest to the OpenVMS and UNIX communities.

To launch the Think Link, Bruce Ellis has written a White Paper on how certain applications may gain 5-10+% performance gains by resizing the Virtual Hash Page Table on OpenVMS Integrity Server Systems.

This is the first of many articles that BRUDEN-OSSG is publishing to serve the OpenVMS and UNIX technical communities.

Another great source of OpenVMS related information you may wish to visit is OpenVMS.org

Announcing CA(r) Performance Management for OpenVMS r3.1 Beta

CA (r) Performance Management for OpenVMS r3.1 is now entering beta. You can sign up for the beta by using the following registration link (CA Support login is required):

http://supportconnectw.ca.com/public/beta/pmopenvms31/pmopenvms31beta.asp

This release of CA Performance Management brings all the new and exciting things we did in the first I64 release back to Alpha along with new features on both Alpha and I64.

CA Performance Management for OpenVMS automatically collects and analyzes performance data from Alpha and HP Integrity servers, providing you with knowledge-based expert tuning advice, real-time monitoring and historical graphs and reports. It helps you identify potential performance problems and take remedial actions before the problems adversely impact your business. Highlights of its features are:

* Real-time monitoring of OpenVMS performance metrics such as CPU utilization, disk I/O per second, hard fault rate, direct I/O, etc.

* Expert performance tuning advice using a knowledge-base of tuning rules

* Historical performance analysis reports, graphs and charts analyzing the collected data

* Integration with CA Unicenter(R) Network and Systems Management System Performance Trend

This release includes for Alpha the features previously added on I64: enhanced data collection for HP Integrity servers, new and enhanced performance tuning rules, reports and graphs, data collection and analysis of OpenVMS eXtended File Cache (XFC), support for a large number of disks (up to 4000 disks) and mixed architecture cluster support and the ability to analyze HP Integrity, Alpha and VAX servers from a single Performance Advisor.

This new release also includes IPv6 support, additional data in Performance cubes, and extended graph support for more than six CPUs for a node.

5.0 Sue's Fav's

5.1 http://www.texmemsys.com/files/f000239.pdf - Newsletter from a company called Texas Memory Systems there is a great interview with a VMS customer that saw a 500% performance improvement using their product on Integrity.


5.2 http://www.synergyde.com/news/CB_WorkbenchArticle.aspx This is from the Synergex web site and worth the read
See how United Natural Foods is using Workbench in a multiplatform environment. United Natural Foods is the largest publicly traded wholesale distributor to the natural and organic foods industry. Carrying more than 40,000 products, the company supplies over 18,000 customers nationwide and services a wide variety of retail formats, including super natural chains, independent natural products retailers, and conventional supermarkets.

Technology
The UNFI core business systems are written mainly in Synergy Language on an HP OpenVMS Alpha cluster. We have worked on leveraging our systems to provide value to both our internal and external customers using a combination of Synergy Language and other technologies. Until recently, like most developers working on OpenVMS, we did our development on the Alphas using EVE, TPU, or EDT, which have been the tools of choice for OpenVMS developers for many years. We have now, however, begun using Synergy/DE Professional Series Workbench. With existing developers, this was a bit of a culture shock, and it took a little while to win friends. But Workbench has now become our major development environment, primarily due to the product's tagging, keyword highlighting, and syntax expansion abilities.
