Dear LDM-User,
Version 6.0.12 of the LDM package is now available. It fixes a few,
minor bugs found in version 6.0.11. Here's what the release-notes say:
Modified strategy for determining which program version is used when
connecting to an upstream LDM (version 5 or 6): a downstream LDM
will now connect using version 5 if and only if a previous version
6 connection attempt receives a program version mismatch indication
(RPC_PROGVERSMISMATCH). This should eliminate the possibility of
a downstream LDM-6 connecting to an upstream LDM-6 using LDM-5
protocols during the "window of vulnerability" that exists when the
upstream LDM system is started.
[Gilbert, the above fix might ensure that whatever happened with
your LDM won't happen again.]
Synchronous checks have been added in several places to make the LDM
more responsive to a termination request (such as from an "ldmadmin
stop").
To work around an oddity in Unisys ingest systems, the program
pqing(1) has been modified to allow an extraneous newline between
the end-of-product and beginning-of-product delimiters.
The package is available for download via the web from the LDM-6.0.12
