This patch fixes the following:
for starting Broker listeners.
Checksum
Routine Old New 2nd Line
XWBTCP 9081629 10677300 **1,9**
XWBTCPC 7635440 7568523 **2,5,4,6,9**
XWBTCPL 8850625 8934371 **1,7,9**
List of preceding patches: 6, 7
Sites should use CHECK^XTSUMBLD to verify checksums.
=========================================================================
Installation:
1. Do not run any RPC-Broker-based Client/Server software (e.g., CPRS,
PCMM) during the installation. No Broker-based client/server
software should be running while installing this patch on the
server. To identify these jobs, check the system status and verify
if any XWBTCPC routines are running (i.e., Broker Handler). Once
identified, notify users to logoff or forcex the jobs. Active
users may get NOSOURCE or CLOBBER errors.
These changes fulfill the functionality requested in the following E3Rs:
2. Stop the Broker Listener on the server. Check the system status
and verify if the XWBTCPL routine is running (i.e., Broker
Listener). If it is running stop it. To stop the Listener, do the
following:
a. Log into your M server.
b. Enter the following at the M prompt:
>D STOP^XWBTCP(Listener port)
11934, RPC BROKER FILE SHOWS RUNNING ON OPENM FAILOVER
(Typically, the Listener port is 9200)
3. Broker routines are not usually mapped on systems that allow it, so
you will probably not have to disable mapping.
4. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This
option will load the KIDS package onto your system.
5. The patch has now been loaded into a Transport global on your
system. You now need to use KIDS to install the Transport global.
10705, LISTENERS NOT STOPPED WILL NOT START UP
On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following
options:
Verify Checksums in Transport Global
Print Transport Global
Compare Transport Global to Current System
Backup a Transport Global
6. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following
option:
8789, CREATE MENU STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN OPTIONS
Install Package(s) 'XWB*1.1*9'
=========
No Options or Protocols need to be placed out-of-order.
Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options, and Protocols? NO
==
7. If the routines were unmapped as part of step 3, the mapped set
should be rebuilt once the installation has run to completion.
8. Restart the Broker Listener on the Server:
a. Log into your M server
b. Enter the following at the M prompt:
>D STRT^XWBTCP(Listener port)
(Typically, the Listener port is 9200)
The changes also resolve the problems reported in the following NOIS
calls:
DAY-0796-40646, Startup Queue of Listener
FRE-0299-60491, Broker Not Starting Automatically
Here are the definitions of the options:
NAME: XWB LISTENER STARTER MENU TEXT: Start All RPC Broker Listeners
TYPE: run routine CREATOR:
PACKAGE: RPC BROKER DELEGABLE: YES
DESCRIPTION: This option will Start/Restart all the RPC Broker
listeners under the control of the RPC BROKER SITE PARAMETERS file. It is
normally setup as a STARTUP type option in the taskman option scheduling
1. Intersystems License. This is the patch that works with patch
file. This option will first STOP ALL listeners and then START ALL the
listeners through Taskman. (VMS sites need to be running Taskman in DCL
context). The XWB LISTENER STARTER cannot be used to start one particular
listener. To do this, in programmer mode, use STRT^XWBTCP(portnumber) on
the node the listener needs to run on. Or use the XWB LISTENER EDIT option
to change the status of the one listener.

3. The code called by the XWB LISTENER STARTER option had a bug that
caused it to start the listeners on the default port of 9000. This
problem is fixed. The following NOIS calls reported the bug.
