1.6 WEBES Known Issues
Rev. 9/8/06
Web-Based Enterprise Services Release Notes 1–25
Do you want to continue? [NO] YES
The messages appear because of a new feature that allows OpenVMS patches to be removed.
You only see these messages if you have installed the new OpenVMS PCSI patch that adds the
feature (or you are running a newer version of OpenVMS that includes the feature), and you
have installed OpenVMS patches that use the feature.
The new feature has a limitation making it impossible to preserve patch recovery data when a
product such as WEBES is installed or uninstalled, because installing or uninstalling WEBES
in an operation not involving patches that alters the product database.
Prior to the addition of the feature, OpenVMS patches could not be removed. Nevertheless,
note that installing WEBES will prevent you from using the new feature to remove any
OpenVMS patches listed. Otherwise, you can safely ignore the messages and continue with
WEBES installation.
1.6.4.6 Upgrade Requires Same Node as Install
Upgrades require that you run the WEBES installer ( @webes_install ) only on the same
cluster node from which you originally installed WEBES. The upgrade section in the WEBES
Installation Guide contains instructions for determining which node is the original.
1.6.4.7 Alternate Boot Start and Stop Methods
Normally, installing WEBES sets up VMS system logicals required for proper WEBES
operation, and optionally sets up the WCCProxy and DESTA Director processes to start
shortly after booting, and to shut down as part of the site-specific shutdown process. The
WEBES installer uses the VMS facility "MCR SYSMAN STARTUP" for this setup.
If you prefer to control the startup and shutdown yourself, see the updated WEBES Installation
Guide, which includes new post-installation guidelines for tailoring the startup and shutdown
process.
1.6.4.8 Cannot Get SMTP Notification on OpenVMS
If there is a problem in the SMTP configuration of an OpenVMS system, WEBES SMTP
email notification may not work, even if regular SMTP email on the system appears to be
working. You can increase the verbosity of the SMTP conversation to help diagnose the
problem by following the procedures below.
WEBES calls Java API code to send SMTP email. On OpenVMS, the Java API uses the
SMTP receiver, which may be different from how other SMTP email is handled on the
OpenVMS system.
