2479.0. "CMS 3.8-2 on O'VMS 7.1?" by CRVETE::LENTZ (Peggy Lentz, Rocky Mountain PSC) Mon Apr 14 1997 13:10

    This may be a less than intelligent question but my customer needs to
    know (and I did try searching for a similar note):
    
    Has anybody tried to run CMS 3.8-2 on OpenVMS 7.1?  Any obvious or
    known issues?  My customer has CMS 3.8-2 on OpenVMS 6.2-1H3 and we are
    migrating to OpenVMS 7.1 now, which creates an issue with CMS versions.
    
    Any helpful advise is appreciated.

    Hi Peggy,
    
    While technically unsupported (DECset V12.2 will support VMS V7.1), we
    have been running CMS V3.8-2 here on VMS V7.1 without any problems.

:    While technically unsupported (DECset V12.2 will support VMS V7.1), we
:    have been running CMS V3.8-2 here on VMS V7.1 without any problems.

    OpenVMS engineering has been using V3.8-2 under OpenVMS V7.1 for a
    while now, and has had no problems -- other than the (previously
    reported) inability to fetch indexed files out of the CMS library.

2479.4EDSDS6::GLEASONDaryl Gleason, DECset EngineeringTue Apr 15 1997 16:116
    Just in case clarification might be needed, the problem with fetching
    indexed files is specific to CMS V3.8-2 on Alpha systems and has
    nothing to do with VMS V7.1. It's fixed for CMS V3.9, due out as part
    of DECset V12.2.

2479.5Does CMS-V3.9 solves this kind of problem ?PADKOA::COSTEUXLe Plat Pays qui est le mien...Wed Apr 16 1997 07:2516
    I've a customer who gets the following errors while fetching an indexed
    file (does CMS V3.9 could solve it ?):
    
    %CMS-E-NOFETCH, error fetching element DISK$CMS_RSRP:[CMS_RSRP.RSRP_DATA]
    R_BATCH.IDX
    -CMS-E-OPENOUT, error opening !AS for output
    -CMS-E-OPENOUT, error opening DISK$RSRPDEV:[RSRPDEV]R_BATCH.IDX; for
    output
    -RMS-E-NPK, no primary key defined for indexed file
    %CMS-F-BADBUG, there is an unrecoverable bug in CMS or something it
    calls
    -CMS-F-RBKNOTOPEN, File passed to rollback is not open

2479.6Yes, should be fixed in CMS 3.9EDSDS6::WANGJames - DECset EngineeringWed Apr 16 1997 11:071
    
2479.7Can somebody make a try with an indexed file ?PADKOA::COSTEUXLe Plat Pays qui est le mien...Mon Apr 21 1997 09:497
    If somebody has CMS-V3.9  installed can I ask him (her) to try to create an
    element (I can provide one 36 blocks long) from an indexed file then to
    fetch it to check if the problem mentionned above occurs or not ?
    
    Thanks for help.

    Hi Jean-Pierre,
    
    Yes, we've tested that the problem is in fact fixed in CMS T3.9-1 on
    both VAX and Alpha. But you can ask for a second opinion if you want.
    :-)

2479.9No doubt for mePADKOA::COSTEUXLe Plat Pays qui est le mien...Mon Apr 21 1997 11:463

2479.10Expected date for 3.8-2 release under OVMS 7.1?NITMOI::MCMAHONFri May 09 1997 15:249
    
    
    
    Hello,
    
    When will CMS V3.8-2 be technically supported under open vms 7.1?
    
    Thanks, sorry if this was answered elsewhere -

2479.11EDSDS6::GLEASONDaryl Gleason, DECset EngineeringMon May 12 1997 09:137
    Hi Liz,
    
    As far as I know, there are no plans for DECset V12.1 to support VMS
    V7.1 officially; this would include CMS V3.8-2. DECset V12.2 and CMS
    V3.9 will support VMS V7.1.

2479.12See Previous Notes, Too...XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon May 12 1997 11:214
   V3.8-2 works just fine on V7.1, save for the discussion of problems
   found earlier in this thread -- the problems are not specific to the
   OpenVMS version, but to the CMS V3.8-2 version.
