Operating Systems

AIX

6.0 SP9 originally available: 2003-05-08

New Features

• Dump/Load performance improvements.
• Collections performance improvements. Read the explanation presented in Chapter 1 of the Release Notes, in "Collections Performance Improvements" for further information.

Platform Notes

• With Sun JDK 1.3, you may need to adjust address space allocation via environment variables OS_AS_START and OS_AS_SIZE

HP-UX (32-bit)

6.0 SP9 (32 bit) originally available: 2003-05-08

New features:

• Dump/Load performance improvements are included in this Service Pack.
• HP-UX 32-bit now supports OSCI, OSJI, DDML, CMTL, and JMTL
• Heterogeneity considerations on several platforms are described in the Release Notes, Chapter 1 under the heading "Language Feature Restrictions." If you depend on heterogeneous operation, be sure to review the Release Notes carefully

Platform Notes:

• The HP-UX kernel patch PHKL_20995 and any dependent patches are required. If this patch is not installed, ObjectStore can cause the operating system to crash (a UNIX kernel panic).
• The HP-UX kernel patches, PHNE_23456 and PHNE_23249, and all dependent patches must also be installed for ObjectStore to operate correctly. PHCO_23770 is a dependent patch that must be installed to enable correct pthread operation.
• Use of JDK 1.3 on HP-UX 32-bit - To ensure compatibility between ObjectStore and JDK 1.3 on HP-UX 32-bit, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable as follows: setenv LD_PRELOAD libos.sl:libosth.sl
• Address Space Allocation on HP-UX with JDK 1.3 - Depending upon your system configuration, you may need to adjust ObjectStore

HP-UX (64-bit)

*No JDK available; The Java Interface (OSJI) not supported for 64-bit
*You can build and run 32-bit or 64-bit applications on 64-bit hardware, but you cannot build or run 64-bit applications on 32-bit hardware.
*The 3.27 compiler for HP 64-bit platforms is supported with the use of the backward-compatibility flags described under Restrictions and Known Problems.

Linux

6.0 SP9 originally available: 2003-05-08

New features:

• Dump/Load performance improvements are included in this Service Pack
• 32-bit heterogeneous support between Linux and other 32-bit systems has been added. See a few minor restrictions which are described in the Release Notes.
• Linux also implements database file locking that was missing in earlier releases due to unexpected pthreads behavior on Linux. This support enables ObjectStore/single mode support on Linux.

Platform Notes:

• The README.TXT explains some issues, with regard to the use of Sun JDK 1.3 on Red Hat Linux 7.2
