Announcements
Introducing Express 2 Based on MPE/iX 6.5 Release
End of Support Dates for MPE/iX Release 5.5 and 6.0:
Support for the 5.5 release will end on December 31, 2000. Customers should plan to
update to either MPE/iX 6.0 or MPE/iX 6.5 prior to this date. We would encourage most
customers to update to the 6.5 release since that release contains many performance and
capacity enhancements for high-end systems and bundled tools for using the HP e3000
with the Internet. Additionally, the 6.5 release will be supported longer than 6.0.
Support for the 6.0 release has been extended until April 30, 2002. Please be aware that
support for the 9x7 servers (917-987) will also end at this same time.
In the future, Hewlett-Packard will continue to provide 18 months notice before
terminating support of a given release as we have done for 5.5 and 6.0.
Welcome to Express 2 based on MPE/iX 6.5 release. This Express Communicator should be
seen as a supplement to the MPE/iX 6.5 Communicator.
NOTE Correction: in the 6.5 Communicator there’s a reference to an AIF
enhancement for JOBQ functionality. This functionality has not yet been
implemented.
Pages 40 and 55 of the Communicator 3000 MPE/iX Release 6.5 states that
AIFFILEGPUT new item 5101, was added in release 6.5 to allow setting of
EOF with largefiles. This is a documentation error.This new item 5101
should not be valid for the PUT function. The reason is that the existing item
5017, the 32-bit equivalent, does not allow modification of the EOF in the file
label, and therefore the 64-bit item 5101 would also be invalid.
