1109.4 | Which one idoes include the other ? | 48219::DEGAGE | | Fri Dec 01 1995 07:26 | 9 |
| About .2 ...
The patch CFS_33122 is the most recent one .Does it mean that it includes
the patch NSI_111_SMG ?
In other words if one customer wants to have corrections of the two problems,
what does he do ??
Thanks a lot.

1109.5 | You are right. | 52621::MUROD | | Sun Dec 03 1995 02:27 | 5 |
| Hi, Peter.
You are perfectly right. Your customer may use the patch CFS_33122.

1109.6 | confused... | 52336::STRATMAN | Peter Stratman @VBO | Mon Dec 04 1995 07:46 | 9 |
| Sorry, I'm confused.
The *111* kit contains more than 10 images, just to fix 1 bug ?
Also, I have the impression that these kits do not follow general
engineering rules and guidelines for patch generation. Why is this ?
Thank you,
Peter.
|
1109.7 | it's not a kit | 52621::MUROD | | Tue Dec 05 1995 03:29 | 6 |
| Hi, Peter.
1. It's not a kit - it's a simple fix.
2. The problem is related to all images. That why you have more then 10 images.
Murod.

1109.8 | and the other question ? | 52336::STRATMAN | Peter Stratman @VBO | Tue Dec 12 1995 05:05 | 17 |
| Thanks, Murod.
How about my other question ?
>Also, I have the impression that these kits do not follow general
>engineering rules and guidelines for patch generation. Why is this ?
If there is no official ECO process in use, I'd at least like to see
a file supplied with the kit saying what architecture it is used for,
what patches it includes, how it can be mixed/matched/superceded with
others, whether it is offical/supported, etc.
Hey, we're trying to support our customers' production environments with
this stuff !
Thank you,
Peter.

1109.9 | This is not a kit | 52621::MUROD | | Wed Dec 13 1995 02:52 | 7 |
| Peter,
THIS IS NOT A KIT OR NEW ECO.
New ECO will be released soon (end of Jan 96).
The new ECO will follow the 204 standard.
Regards, Murod.

1109.10 | But... | 52336::STRATMAN | Peter Stratman @VBO | Thu Dec 14 1995 13:44 | 15 |
| Murod,
Ok, I understand that these are not kits or ecos. I also much appreciate
having the "fixes ?", since they solve our very real problems.
What I'm concerned about is that we're giving these fixes to customers
and that some of us may do so blindly without telling customers that
these fixes are "not so official". If there is any risk involved in
installing them, that should be known. So an "install at your own risk"
notice should at least be included, or some other safeguard that gets
us out of trouble if a big bug is introduced (it HAS been known to
happen before :^) )...
Thank you for your help,
Peter.

| I agree with Peter that we urgently need some information on the stuff
in PCMSVR::$1$DKB500:[ECO]
Currently we find in there:
NSI_111_SMG.DIR;1 16-NOV-1995 02:52:55.00
CFS_33122.DIR;1 24-NOV-1995 04:30:44.00
CFS_119.DIR;1 18-DEC-1995 08:21:22.00
CFS_121.DIR;1 24-DEC-1995 09:14:44.00
CFS_32368.DIR;1 27-DEC-1995 09:22:05.00
CFS_125.DIR;1 1-JAN-1996 11:52:08.00
What solves what?
Can we give these kits/ecos/fixes to customers or is this not recommended?
I propose that notes is used as a channel to announce new versions
of these kits, with a short description of the fixes implemented.
Or didn't I look on the rigth place?
Thanks and best regards,
Johan

| The reason that none of these kits are documented is because they are
not "official kits". The savesets with the CFS prefix are named
that way becuase that is the case number of the IPMT they are
related to. The goal here was to make available to the field the latest
and greatest bugfixes etc. to ease the load on the folks in the
trenches that are catching the heat from customers. This precluded doing
a lot of the "nice" things like a list of fixes etc. Those will of course
be in the ECO2 kit per DEC STD 204.
REgards,
dan
