1.      OpenVMS Engineering update :- 
 
a.       We successfully completed the TUDs in Europe  last month in  Netherlands, Sweden, Austria UK, France and Germany. In Austria, customers came from 6 neighbouring countries for our TUDs! We met over 250 customers. This year’s TUDs got a overwhelming response from the customers and we are motivated to achieve  more in FY 11.  The OpenVMS engineering team met with some of our large OpenVMS  customers in these countries and we have very valuable inputs from them. We presented  nearly 12 topics in each country. We covered over 250 customers during these TUDs. The feedback has been extremely positive from customers & our internal BCS folks who sponsored these TUDs in Europe. Amsterdam has around 90 attendees. Austria has participant from 9 countries!
 
b.      We have received 5 abstracts for VTJv16. If you still have your abstract in the making rush them to me at http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/journal/cfp.html   
 
 
c.     We have introduced a NEW OpenVMS CRTL API decc$get_channel(), in OpenVMS V84 Update-V0500.
      Adding OpenVMS C RTL decc$get_channel() API function 
 
      The OpenVMS C RTL decc$get_channel() API function is introduced to 
      obtain the channel number for sockets and mailbox that are opened 
      by the fopen() call.  This decc$get_channel() API function checks 
      the following:
      i)  If fab$l_dev of the fab structure has the flag DEV$M_MBX set 
          and returns fab$l_stv, which has the mailbox channel number.
      ii) If issocket of the FCB structure is set and returns the 
          fcb->channel.
 
      The syntax is as follows:
        unsigned short int decc$get_channel(__FILE *fp)
        Arguments:  FILE *
        Returns  : unsigned short int
 
      The decc$get_channel () API returns the channel number:
            1) (fab$l_stv) for Mailbox if the fab$l_dev has DEV$M_MBX set.
            2) (fcb->channel) for socket if fcb->issocket is set.
 
      On failure returns 0 with errno set to EINVAL
        Images Affected:  
     
      - [SYSLIB]DECC$SHR.EXE
      - [SYSLIB]DECC$SHR_EV56.EXE (for ALPHA)
 
d.    We are happy to announce the Update 400.  This is the latest Update from OpenVMS Engineering released in ITRC early in October 2010. One of the key focus areas addressed in this update has been improving the overall OpenVMS Quality of  OpenVMS V8.4 that was released in June this year. The release has several new features and enhancements adopted well by customers and partners. The August 2010 Update following the OpenVMS V8.4 release has added support for the New Generation Integrity Server Blades (based on the Itanium 9300 Processor family). One of the key objectives of Update has been to provide fixes/solutions to customers for issues/problems that have been reported on V8.4 and the subsequent updates. Another important objective was to constantly  improve the overall quality of OpenVMS. Some of the key deliverables in this Update kit are :
·         Fixes for defects found within the OpenVMS organization following the V8.4 and subsequent updates deemed important for customers
·         Roll up of fixes for issues reported by customers on V8.4 and earlier releases of OpenVMS as well.
·         Support for the 8GB Memory DIMMs on the New Generation Integrity Server Blades.
     OpenVMS Engineering encourages customers to install Update 400 along with the dependent kits once they migrate to OpenVMS 8.4. check out itrc.hp.com

a.       Oracle 10.2.0.4 is now certified on OpenVMS 8.4  http://support.oracle.com certification page.  This is there now.

    HP OpenVMS Alpha    3 Versions(8.4,8.3,8.2)
    HP OpenVMS Itanium  3 Versions(8.4,8.3,8.2)

For  a tutorial on how to find the certification matrix, for those who have not searched for it before, log onto the web site http://support.oracle.com (SS0 for oracle.com accounts) folder tab within the window will have "Certification" enter that folder  Note -> that tab could be hidden base on the size of your display.  you may need to click a folder tab called "More" along the same folder list where you see "Dashboard".

In the certification search frame, you can type "RDBMS" and the pull down will offer you a selection, chose the one with 10g in it.
then select release "10.2.0.4"  then click "search" you will then see a menu with "Operating Systems" as a choice.  Note there is also a link for "Oracle Real Application Clusters 10.2.0.4.0) in that display.
b.      PointSecure would like to let you know that our PointAudit and PatchAnlayzer applications have been updated to handle the recent changes to HP’s patch services.  They will continue to provide the same great value they always have by allowing you to scan your systems and compare patches installed on your OpenVMS system with the OpenVMS patch listing allowing you to keep your systems up to date with the most current patches.  For more information, visit http://www.pointsecure.com. “
c.     Stromasys is making it easier to access, test and use its virtual VAX and Alpha products in a broader market.
