3.1 DCPS Processes Consume Memory and Pagefile
Over time, DCPS print symbiont processes may consume increasing amounts
of memory and pagefile space, resulting in system performance problems. This
problem is seen only on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2 systems.
The following DECthreads patch kit fixes this problem:
• VMS712_PTHREADS-V0300, for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2 systems
3.2 Problems Starting Queues with Multistreamed Symbionts
All sites running DECprint Supervisor as a multistreamed process on OpenVMS
V7.1 and earlier should install the Queue Manager Remedial Update.
The Queue Manager remedial update kits are:
• ALPQMAN02_071, for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 systems
• ALPQMAN05_070, for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0 systems
• ALPQMAN03_062, for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 systems
• ALPQMAN04_061, for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 systems
• VAXQMAN02_071, for OpenVMS VAX V7.1 systems
