ABSTRACT: SETTING OF THEWALL FAILS IN RC.DIRTALK

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The following error can occur on AIX boot from inittab
  Setting new value for thewall of xxxxxx
  0821-059 no: The ioctl SIOCSNETOPT system call failed.
  no -o thewall returned exit code of 2

LOCAL FIX:
It is safe to ignore 'thewall' error, as it causes no harm. If
required the error can be prevented by commenting out the sectio
in /etc/rc.dirTalk script that tries to set thewall as follows:
 #echo "Setting new value for thewall of "½new_thewall
 #no -o thewall=½new_thewall

ABSTRACT: INVALID DIR USING A : CAN TRAP NT.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Some NT-clients can occasionally crash
if they receive AIX-filenames containing
a ':' (colon) -- to fix this, FastConnect
will make these files invisible to PCclients.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
AIX filenames containing ":" can sometimes crash NT-clients,
due to flaws in some NT-client software.
This can be significant for customers upgrading from ACONN
to FastConnect, because ACONN created these filenames as
"invisible" files.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Allow FastConnect to filter-out these filenames as "invisible"
files, like ACONN did.

ABSTRACT: DIRECTTALK NOT SETTING NLSPATH USING NEW AIX COMMAND CHNLSPATH

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
DirectTalk does not set NLSPATH using the new AIX command
chnlspath which was introduced in APAR IY17587. NLSPATH is no
longer passed to child shells. This means that those programs
with SUID bit set such as aixterm do not recieve the ENV
variable unless this new command is used. Starting DirectTalk
from an aixterm on a post IY17587 will cause 3270 problems.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
DIRECTTALK NOT SETTING NLSPATH USING NEW AIX
COMMAND CHNLSPATH

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
In .vaeprofile, if NLSPATH is NULL, perhaps
because run from aixterm, we initialize to a default value.
This fix also builds on an earlier fix where we then save
NLSPATH to _NLSPATH so that we can restore this
within OAM before executing SNA commands, which require a
reasonable NLSPATH

ABSTRACT: CA_LIBRARY INCORRECTLY CORRECTS KERNEL THREAD ID

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The CA_ library calls check the thread id of the CustomServer
in order to ensure that they are operating in a single thread.
This is done by checking the kernel thread id of the application
which can change if there are multiple user threads in the CS
and the operating system is running using the M:N thread mapping
model.

LOCAL FIX:
Setting the AIX environment variable:
AIXTHREAD_SCOPE=S
prior to the application starting will ensure that a 1:1 mapping
is used for the process.
This does NOT make the CA_ library calls thread safe.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
CA_LIBRARY INCORRECTLY CORRECTS KERNEL THREAD
ID

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
added environment variable definition

vacpp.cmp.batch of the VisualAge C++ Professional for AIX
compiler up to level 5.0.2.1, compiling an application that

ABSTRACT: ESSL FFT/CONVOLUTION/CORRELATION SUBROUTINES

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When using the -qflttrap a segmentation fault may occur with the
FFTs. The problem exists for transforms of length <= 4096 for
complex to complex and complex to real or transforms of length
<= 8192 for real to complex. The exception is related to an
illegal prefetching technique on the output array which may
cause overflow, underflow, or an invalid operation depending on
the data in the output array on entry. There is no data
integrity problem or referencing out of bounds.

LOCAL FIX:
Users may initialize the output array to zero on entry.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
An illegal prefetching technique was used by
ESSL FFT, Convolution and Correlation subroutines. There was
no data integrity problem, but with -qflttrap set to trap
overflow, underflow, or invalid operations, the data in output
only arrays may cause this condition to occur.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The internal codes which were using this
technique were updated to a different prefetch technqiue which
avoids the problem.

TEMPORARY FIX:
It may work to initialize output only arrays to
zero before calling ESSL.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
In some cases on 43P-260 workstations and
Power3 SMP Thin or Wide Nodes(200 MHz) which are not at firmware
level SPX99028 or later, some ESSL subroutines may experience
a data error and give incorrect results. This problem does not
exist on firmware level SPX99028 or later(all machines shipped
on or after 7/5/99 have this firmware).

LOCAL FIX:
Install ESSL 3.2.0.3 or install the latest firmware.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
In some cases on 43P-260 workstations and
Power3 SMP Thin or Wide Nodes(200 MHz) which are not at

experience a data error and give incorrect results. This
problem does not exist on firmware level SPX99028 or later

ABSTRACT: PARALLEL ESSL SPARSE MAY TERMINATE IN DGERV2D WITH CODE 0040-033

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When using the Parallel ESSL Sparse Solver, the application may
end with error 0040-033 from DGERV2D under the following
condition:

LOCAL FIX:
1. The problem can be avoided by having each of the P processors
   have the same number of rows of the matrix, OR
2. Install the PTF

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Parallel ESSL sparse codes may terminate early
with an 0040-033 error if the number of interface points for
a given task is larger than the number of rows the task owns.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Internal Parallel ESSL codes for both the
Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 interfaces were updated to properly
set the leading dimension of an internal communications buffer.

TEMPORARY FIX:
Ensure that the matrix is distributed such that
no processor needs more interface points from another processor
than rows it has.

ABSTRACT: FFTS MAY TERMINATE IF THE NUMBER OF ALLOWABLE ERRORS FOR ESSL

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
If an application sets ESSL error 2015 or 2030 to have a limited
number, then the Parallel FFTs may terminate.

LOCAL FIX:
1. Do not use ERRSET to set 2015 or 2030 to a limited number.
2. Install PTF.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Internally, the Parallel ESSL FFTs were not
changing the number of allowable errors for 2015 and 2030 to
unlimited. If the application used ERRSET to change the
original unlimited value to a limited value(1 for example),
then the Parallel ESSL FFTs could terminate.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Internal codes were updated to always
set 2015 and 2030 to unlimited.

TEMPORARY FIX:
Do not use ERRSET to change the number of
allowable messages for 2015 or 2030 to a limited value.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
PZHEEVX may produce incorrect results if the 1-norm of the input
matrix A(norm(A)) meets the following conditions:
0 < norm(A) < 0.100E-145 or norm(A) > .818E77

LOCAL FIX:

small or very large

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
PZHEEVX incorrectly scales the matrix A when
its 1-norm is small or very large.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Scaling code was corrected(the local matrix
A was passed as a double precision array instead of a complex
array).

TEMPORARY FIX:
Scale the matrix A before(and after) calling
PZHEEVX.

ABSTRACT: CONDITION NUMBER RETURNED BY PDGECON AND PZGECON MAY NOT BE

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The condition number returned by PDGECON or PZGECON may not
be the same on all columns of the process grid.

LOCAL FIX:
Applications can broadcast the condition number after the
subroutine returns.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
PDGECON and PZGECON may produce different
condition numbers on different columns of the process grid.
This can happen when you have a non-homogenous computing
environment with the ESSL SMP library.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
At appropriate stages of the iterative
algorithm, data is broadcast across the columns to that each
columns has the same result.

TEMPORARY FIX:
Broadcast the condition number after the computat
ion is complete.

ABSTRACT: WRONG ANSWERS IN DSKFS AND DSKFSP WHEN IPARM(2)=100 OR IPARM(2)=

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When using ESSL subroutine DSKFS and DSKFSP with IPARM(2)=100 or
IPARM(2)=110, if the input matrix A is a digonal matrix, the
solution is incorrect. IPARM(2)=100 and IPARM(2)=110 imply
a combined Cholesky factor/solve.

LOCAL FIX:
DSKFS and DSKFSP produce correct results if the factor and solve
are done in separate steps.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
DSKFS and DSKFSP were not calling a part of the
solve code for IPARM(2)=100 or IPARM(2)=110 when the input was
a diagonal matrix.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Internal code corrected to call the solve
for all matrices when IPARM(2)=100 or IPARM(2)=110.

TEMPORARY FIX:
Perform the factor and solve as two separate
steps.
