3. Changes in This Release

This section describes the differences between VSI Performance Management V3.1-1 and the previous versions of the Performance Management product on the Alpha and IA-64 architectures.

3.1. Changes in Performance Management Manager

The names of command procedures are now prefixed with the string "PERF" instead of "UPM". For example, a script that is named UPM$MANAGER$STARTUP.COM on Alpha and IA-64 is named PERF$MANAGER$STARTUP.COM on x86-64.

Important

The legacy startup and shutdown procedures PSDC$STARTUP.COM and PSDC$SHUTDOWN.COM have been changed to call PERF$MANAGER$STARTUP.COM and PERF$MANAGER$SHUTDOWN.COM, respectively.

3.2. Changes in Performance Management Agent

The names of command procedures are now prefixed with the string "PERF" instead of "UPM". For example, a script that is named UPM$MANAGER$STARTUP.COM on Alpha and IA-64 is named PERF$MANAGER$STARTUP.COM on x86-64.

3.3. Corrections to Problems Reported in the Field Test Release

This section lists the problems corrected in the field test release for VSI Performance Management V3.1-1.

  1. The timer driver is now working and will be loaded when the agent is started.

  2. The manager uninstall will remove the manager specific options from DCLTABLES since it must be removed first due to its dependency upon the agent. The agent uninstall will now remove the ADVISE verb and all command options from DCLTABLES.
