NOS/VE Rl.1.2 lEVEL 630
1.0 INTROOUC TI ON
The NOS/VE Rl.l.2 level 630 Software ~e'ease Bulletin (SRB) is to be
used with the NOS/VE Instal~3tion an1 Upgrade Manual (Publication
60463913) for installing NOS/VE and its software products. Control Data
recommends that the SRB be read in Its entirety prior to software
i nst at. atl on.
The SRB is the vehicle used to docume~t any changes to the Instal'ation
and Upgrade Manual after it has gone to print. The SR8 also documents a
number of system deficiencies. It is Aecessary to install NOS 2.4.1
Level 630 or NOSfBE 1.5 leve. 621, level &28 of the Common Products, and
CIP 003 before installing NOS/V~ Rl.l.2.
The following warnings and restrictio~s are especially important to this
release:
1. A Backup_Permanent_Ftle operation must be done using the old
system before upgrading to Rl.l.2 and the files restored using
level Rl.l.2. See Sectio~ 3.1.2 for more information.
2.A:s of release 1.1.2, permf:\nent file labels wi.1 be written in a
neM format which older systems wi" not be able to read. This
presents no prob'em unfess permanent files created on a Rl.l.Z
system or later must be used on a system older than Rl.l.2.
Should this situation arise. contact Central Software Support for
guidance.
3. A new version (VI.l) of object code library format has been
implemented to support improved message template capabilities.
Message template modules are now created through the OCU
CREATE_MESSAGE_MOOULE subcommand which places message template
modules on the object library. The ncu on the Rl.l.2 system can
accept object modules fro~ both old (VI.D) and new (Vl.I)
libraries but will only generate new (Vl.1) format libraries.
Libraries created by the Rl.l.2 OCU cannot be used by previous
versions of the system or previous versions of OCU. Object
modules (but not SeL procedures or program descriptions) can be
moved from a Vl.l library to a Vl.O library as follows:
a. Using the Vi.l CREOl, do the following:
CREOL
ADoM vll_library "version Vl.l library"

GENl obJect_fite f=f "generates an object file"
b. Using the VI.O CREOL~ do the following:
CREOl
ADOM object_file "generated as above"
GENt vlO_.ibrary "version Vl.O object tibrary"
4. Previous versions of message template modules cannot be used by
the Rl.l.2 system. They ~ust be rebuilt using the
GENERATE_MESSAGE_TEMPLATE procedure. A MODULE statement must be
placed at the beginning and a ~ODEND statement at the end of the
message template definitions in order to provide the name for the
message template module on the DCU library. The message template
module should be placed on the same library as the program
description and eVBIl modules for the application program.
5. A new version (VI.l) of sauree code library format has been
implemented to support current and future performance
improvements. It wi' I be necessary to convert al'alder (pre
Rl.l.Z) source libraries with a utillty described in Section 5.5.
6. Changes to the program i,terface require the recompilatlon of all
CrBIl modules. Modules which have not been recompiled may
encounter 'declaration mismatch' errors when they are loaded. In
addition, any modules bound ~ith runtime libraries wilt have to be
rebound.
7. Tape usage is restricted to permanent fite backup/restore, and
dump analyzer operations.
8. Rl.l.2 changes the operator i,terface to NOS/VE from the
combination of the K-dlsplay and MOO Interface to 9 single CDC
CC634B terminal connected via cable AVI17A to the mainframe's two
port multiplexor. The ~OS/VF system console should be connected
to port 0 of the two port muttfolexor to allow RTA access via port
1.
The new NOS/VE system conso'~ orovides access to the operator
fac.lity, system core debugger, the refreshing displays under
VEDISPlAY, and an operator actions display. This console allows
use of fu'l ASCII for at. key-~~s.
A single CC6348 can be used for both NOS and NOS/VE on the model
810/830 systems. However, only one operating system can use the

system console at a given instant. The f6 key must be used to
switch ownership of the system consote between NOS and NOS/VE.
For al I other model 8xx mainframes supported by NOS/VE, the e170
state operating system ~il' continue to use the Ce545 consote and
NOS/VE Mil' use the CC634~ as its system console.

3.1.1 NOS INSTALLATION
1. 80th PASSON and IRHF must run out of the SYSTEMX account in order
to access NOS output queue files which are transmitted to the
NOS/VE input queue. If your site has changed the password of the
SYSTEMX user, then you must alter the USER statements in the
RUNJOBS procedure. Enter the following statements under the user
name from which NOS/VE is being deadstarted:
COMMON, SYSTEftl.
GTR,SYSTE",NVELr8,U.UlIB/~VELIB.
GETPRflC,RUNJOBS.
*Change all USER statement oasswords to your site's value
FSE;, RtlNJOt'S.
*NVer,t,. adds'OSTLI8 to the Ijbrarv set
REPPROC,RUNJ08S,l=DSTlIB.
*Change DSTlIB from semi-3rivate to private
CHANGE,OSTlIB/CT=P.
2. In order to use the ST-NVE oaraneter to route a file to the input
queue, the user must have CUST validation 'lag set.
3. The NOS system must have a LID table defined containing a PIO of
NVE with a LID of NVE. Neither entry has attributes.
4. A skeleton file (ACCOUNT) is created during deadstart and used by
Interim Remote Host and Interstate Communications to generate
partner JOOS that are submitted to NOS. This file is created
~ithin a procedure named ACCFIlE which is located in user library
