Hi all,

I forgot to add that we haven't had the opportunity to test this with the 8
series at yet, but we suspect that the same problem will exist there.

Hi all, 

there is a known issue affecting both RMS and OracleRDB on VMS 7.3 with the
7.10.Gn line. 

The error message is 'Error message %SYSTEM-F-CVTUNGRANT, cannot convert an
ungranted lock.' 

The latest information available is that service pack VMS73_UPDATE-V0100
resolves this issue. 

Full details of the patches can be found at URL below,

We moved from VMS 7.1 to 7.3 recently. Powerhouse remained on 7.10G3. 
The VMS upgrade was relatively pain-free, and there were no PH-related 
issues. 

VMS issues: the new XFC caching is seriously flakey and should be turned 
off: stick with the old VIOC caching (VCC_FLAGS=1). 
If you're using GoldFax, don't reinstall the ancient & venerable DCE 1.3 
that comes with it - DCE is now up to V3.0, and gets mightily confused if 
you downgrade it that far. 
TCP/IP - we moved up from 4.2-2 to 5.1 at the same time - is a little more 
painful, but there's plenty of ECOs out now. 

Some nice RMS enhancements (no query locking) which ought to help PH along, 
but I've been too busy to benchmark. 

7.2-2 is billed as the 7.2 final version, for folk that don't want to move 
up from 7.2 or 7.2-1 to 7.3. I chose to skip 7.2 altogether & go for 7.3 
(it's obviously going to have a longer support life). 

Regards, 
Chris Sharman
