ObjectStore 6.2 Service Pack 1

Linux (AMD 64-bit) | Windows (32-bit for Visual Studio .NET 2003)

Linux (AMD 64-bit)

6.2.1 for Linux AMD64 originally available 02-18-2005

New features

• Support for Linux AMD 64-bit
• Hi-performance schema evolution and database compaction
• Database verification optimization
• Support for standard iostreams

Platform Notes:

• Ossg will produce warning messages in some situations due to the use of tail padding by the Linux compiler. See solution C27099 in the knowledge base for details.
• The ObjectStore installation program uses compress and uncompress, and looks for them in /usr/bin. If you are installing ObjectStore on a linux platform, you will need to install ncompress-4.2.4-31.i386.rpm to get these utilities
• The default vm.max_map_count kernel parameter limits the address space to 256 MB. Use "sysctl -w vm.max_map_count= value" to change the value.
• Support for classic IO streams (for example, iostream.h) is dropped. Applications must use standard streams (for example, iostream).
