211.0. "DDD 6.0 X VMS 7.0" by ORAREP::VAXRIO::CSANTOS () Mon May 13 1996 16:21

    
    
    
    	Hi,
    
    	I have a customer that ,is running VMS 7.0 and Rdb 6.1-03.  When 
    	trying to install DDD 6.0 get the "version mismatch error... 
    	please relink...".
    
    	Have anyone tried that??
    
    
    				Thanks

211.1Image Registration?BROKE::PROTEAUJean-Claude ProteauMon May 13 1996 19:1214
    
    Claudia,
    
    I've just returned from a trip.  No, I don't recall that we have tested
    with VMS 7.0 yet.  One thing I know that Rdb had to do for one of the
    earlier VMS versions was to register its privileged images with VMS
    so that new Rdb kits did not have to be built.  Maybe the same is true
    for VMS 7.0, and maybe this now applies to the DDD privileged images.
    This is just a guess on my part.  Assuming that VMS 7.0 has such an
    image registration facility, they could try to register the
    DDAL$TR_MON.EXE and DDAL$COPY_PROCESS.EXE iamges to see if that makes
    the problem go away.

211.2DDD Might Have to RelinkBROKE::PROTEAUJean-Claude ProteauWed May 15 1996 16:2211
    
    Well, I'm starting to get over my jet lag.
    
    There may well be a change in VMS 7.0 that requires a relink of DDD. 
    We link with SYS.STB, and whenever there's a major change in system
    data structures, we can be affected.  In the 10 year history of DDD
    with VMS, this has only happened once before.
    
    We'll have to look into this at some point, but I'm not in a position
    right now to say when you might see a change in the product to support
    VMS 7.0.

    fwiw, in Rdb land I am not aware of any problems running older images
    on VMS V7 that were linked /SYS against the older versions of VMS. 
    However, we did link in LIBRTL.OLB which caused problems due to changes
    in VMS exception handling.  Rdb now links against LIBRTL.EXE instead of
    linking it in.
