HP DCE 1.7 U.S./Canada Software for HP-UX 11.0 Release Note 9

Release Note

HP DCE U.S./Canada Software

Limitations, Interoperability, and

Compatibility of This Release

For information on the limitations of the U.S./Canada version, and its

interoperability and compatibility with the Export version of the DCE

software, and with other versions of DCE, see the HP/DCE 9000 Version

1.7 for HP-UX 11.0 Release Note (B3190-90072) and Planning and

Conﬁguring HP DCE 1.7 (B3190-90073).

Important Installation Information

This section discusses important information related to installing the

U.S./Canada version of HP DCE 1.7. For detailed information about

installing HP DCE 1.7, see Planning and Conﬁguring HP DCE 1.7.

The installations of the U.S./Canada versions of /usr/lib/libdce.1,

/opt/lib/libdce.2, /opt/dce/sbin/dced, and—when supplied—

/opt/dce/lib/libdce.a attempt to preserve the default Export versions

rather than writing over them. This is done by appending the sufﬁx

“.Int” to any existing Export version software, installing the U.S./Canada

version software with a “.Dom” sufﬁx, and creating a hard link to the

U.S./Canada version in the place of the original software.

If you want to return a given system to the default Export version state,

use swremove(1m) to remove the DCE/9000 U.S./Canada Software for

HP DCE 1.7. swremove will undo the U.S/Canada version installation

and update the Software Distributor (SD) database with the correct

information. This is the recommended way to return a system to an

Export version state.

CAUTION Do not re-install the Export version over the U.S./Canada version of the

software. Re-installing the Export version will leave information in the

SD database indicating that the U.S./Canada version is still there, which

may cause problems with any products that have dependencies on the

U.S./Canada versions of libdce.1 and libdce.2.

libdce.2 must be present on all systems that run HP-UX 11.0, since a

number of applications (one of which is the SD product) depend on it.

The U.S./Canada versions of libdce.1 and libdce.2 offer a superset of

the functionality in the Export version; they will, therefore, satisfy the

requirements of any application (such as SD) that declares a dependency

on the Export version.
