dbvosiII-1.9.3 / dbvosiII-1.9.3 Patch 1 Release Notes
-----------------------------------------------------

:: General :: 

dbvosiII-1.9.3 and dbvosiII-1.9.3_patch1 have been compiled and tested on 
Fri Aug 30 on the following platforms:

1. Sun Sparc 2 running Solaris 1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.2)
2. Hewlett Packard 9000/700 running HP-UX (hppa1.1-hp-hpux)
3. Sun Sparc 20 running Solaris 2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.3)
4. 486 PC running Linux (i486-unknown-linux)
5. Dec Alpha running OSF (alpha-dec-osf1.3)
6. IBM RS6000 running aix3.2 (rs6000-ibm-aix3.2)

Most compilations give warnings. These warnings will be removed by the 
next patch.


Reasons for 1.9.3 release:
1. Provision for (BER-stream skipping) certain semantically erroneous 
   but syntactically legal ILL constructs (which could never occur 
   if exclusively using DBV-OSI II but could if another server created 
   illegal encodings)
2. Some memory leak fixes/bug fixes
3. Provision of a release suitable for Access/Resource/Trigger/Explain patch 



Reasons for 1.9.3 patch 1 release:
1. Support for 
   a) AccessControlRequest/AccessControlResponse PDUs 
   b) ResourceControlRequest/ResourceControlResponse PDUs
   c) TriggerResourceControlRequest PDUs
   d) Access-Control Prompt-1 
   e) Explain records

   Partial support for
   a) Generic (GRS-1) records

The patch updates 
a) API PDU/externals checking and tracing functions
b) The test programs including the provided query parser.


The test tool has not been updated.

	

:: Compilation/Testing Notes :: 


Fri Aug 30 compilation sequence for each platform:

1. Install 1.9.3  
2. make

1. origin - initreq to target
2. target - initrsp to origin
3. origin - extreqILL to target
4. target - extrspILL to origin
5. origin - srchreq to target
6. target - accessreq to origin
7. origin - accessrsp to target 
8. target - rescntrlreq to origin
9. origin - rescntrlrsp to target
10. target - rescntrlreq to origin
11. origin - triggerrescntrlreq to target
12. target - srchrsp to origin 
13. origin - presreq to target
14. target - presrsp to origin with Explain TargetInfo chosen
15. origin - presreq to target, no wait for response
16. target - image retrieval (GRS-1) test 
17. origin - image retrieval (GRS-1) test



:: Usage Notes :: 

Nothing in dbvosiII-1.9.3 patch 1 has been conformance tested (tested
with the test tool).

Full support is provided for Explain records - any structures, lists, 
sequences and combinations. Certain features of the explain provision such as
file tracing and field checking require further development checking (about
three days worth) before the code enters conformance testing. Any
problems found will be corrected by the next patch.

If you experience problems using explain turn off high level
tracing in your application.



:: dbvosiII-1.9.3 Patch 1 - Problem With tsendbas.h on IBM RS6000 AIX ::

dbvosiII-1.9.3 Patch 1 release/libtest/apitesttargetslave fails 
to compile on AIX platforms because AIX uses a non standard location for 
system file fcntl.h

The compilation error reported is 

In file included from tsendbas.c:1:
tsendbas.h:9: sys/fcntl.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [object_files/tsendbas.o] Error 1

To work around this problem change the line

#include <sys/fcntl.h>

in release/libtest/tsendbas.h to

#include </usr/include/fcntl.h>


then 

cd release/libtest
make
