| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This Kernel patch contains the following features:
-A new field, PRE-TRANSPORTATION ROUTINE (#900), is in the BUILD file.
developer can retrieve the data by using the same variable, XPDGREF. Since
these nodes are part of the transport global, they will be removed when the
install is completed.
KIDS didn't turn off Alpha/Beta testing when the final version of a package
was released. Because of this bug, Kernel 8.0 and Radiology 4.5 still have
Alpha/Beta testing turned on. You can run the routine XQABTMP to turn off
testing for those packages.
A new function is available to developers, $$PATCH^XPDUTL(patch) will return
-Updates to routines and data dictionary to support the new security features
1 if patch was loaded on current system and 0 if it wasn't loaded. This
function can be used in your Environment Check routine.
i.e. I '$$PATCH^XPDUTL("XU*8.0*28") W !,"You must install patch XU*8.0*28"
of the RPC Broker. This patch is a prerequisite to installing the released
version 1.0 of the RPC Broker. RPC Broker version 1.0 is scheduled to be
released at the end of May, 1996, and will need to be installed to support
the PCMM with a graphical interface.
Please note: The sign-on project that was distributed with the RPC Broker
Developer Preview Kit (version 1T11) will not function after
this patch is installed. The Preview Kit served the function
of illustrating possible DHCP directions. It was not intended
for use in production environments. We are providing this
warning to you as an advisory.
===========================================================================
This patch should be installed during off-peak hours. Users can be on the
system, but no user should be using KIDS during the install of this patch.
MSM sites must manually move the routine XPDIJ to their other CPUs. KIDS
cannot automatically move this routine for you.
===========================================================================
-KIDS will now correctly turn off Alpha/Beta testing for a package.
INSTALLATION:
1. These routines are usually mapped on systems that allow mapping,
so you will need to disable mapping for the effected routines.
2. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This
option will load the KIDS package onto your system.
3. The patch has now been loaded into a Transport global on your
system. You now need to use KIDS to install the Transport global.
4. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following
options:
-The routine XQABTMP can be used to turn off Alpha/Beta testing for
Print Transport Global
Compare Transport Global to Current System
Verify Checksums in Transport Global
Backup a Transport Global
Install Package(s)
5. MSM Sites - Answer YES to the question 'Want to MOVE routines to
other CPUs?'. Enter the names of your Compute and Print server(s).
6. MSM Sites - D ^%RCOPY to move the routine XPDIJ to your other
CPUs.
7. AXP Sites, after patch has installed, rebuild your map set.
previously released packages that used KIDS. i.e. Kernel 8.0,

ROUTINES:
The second line of the routine now looks like:

DATA DICTIONARY: Partial DDs
File: BUILD #9.6, Field: PRE-TRANSPORTATION ROUTINE #900.
This field contains a [TAG^]ROUTINE that will be run during the
transportation process for the Build. This will allow a developer
to populate the transport global using the variable XPDGREF.
-New function $$PATCH^XPDUTL(patch) checks if patch has been installed.
File: OPTION #19, Field: TYPE #4.
This set of codes field has been updated to include the code
B = Broker (Client/Server).
===========================================================================
FORMS:
XPD EDIT BUILD (File 9.6)
Was change to add the field, PRE-TRANSPORTATION ROUTINE, to page 1.
============================================================================
-The TYPE field in the OPTION file now contains B:Broker (Client/Server).
DOCUMENTATION:
Developers can now put information in the KIDS Transport Global, which
can be used by the Pre- or Post-install routines. KIDS will run the
[TAG^]ROUTINE in the field PRE-TRANSPORTATION ROUTINE during the transport
process. This routine can use the variable XPDGREF to set nodes in the
transport global.
i.e. S @XPDGREF@("My Namespace",1)="Information I need during install"
During the install process, in the Pre- or Post-install routines, the
