Capacity and Performance (ECP) Analyzer Version 5.4 for OpenVMS will be
provided to users with a valid operating system license at no additional cost.
Both the Data Collector and the Performance Analyzer are also backward

The Enterprise Capacity and Performance Data Collector provides data collecting

(ECP) Analyzer for OpenVMS. The Data Collector metrics include CPU, disk I/O,
memory, process, network, lock, cluster, and diskset configuration information.
The ECP Analyzer provides both graphic (MOTIF-based) and tabular reports
for the data assembled by the collector(s), including metrics for CPU, disk I/O,
memory, paging, processes, locks, SCS, and TCP/IP.

5.2 Extended File Specifications
V7.3
Mixed UNIX and OpenVMS Style File Names Not Supported
This release note pertains to Extended File Specifications. For more information
about Extended File Specifications, see the OpenVMS Guide to Extended File
Specifications.
The ODS-5 volume structure supports long file names, allows the use of a wider
range of characters within file names and preserves case within file names.
However, the C RTL shipped with OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3 does not provide
full support for extended file names on ODS-5 devices. This lack of full support
imposes certain restrictions on users running Netscape FastTrack Server or
Apache Web Server for OpenVMS Alpha, or deploying Java applications on an
ODS-5 device.
In general, users running Netscape FastTrack Server or Apache Server, or
deploying Java applications on OpenVMS can input either UNIX style file names
or OpenVMS style file names. (FastTrack and Apache Server usually output
UNIX style file names.) With these products, file names are often constructed by
the FastTrack server, the Apache server, or the Java Virtual Machine.
