Eloquence A.05.02 Release Notes

Overview

 The following topics are covered by this document: Release notes on the

New licing scheme

 HP ELOQUENCE A.05.02 uses a new licence scheme. Instead of "branding" the executable files with a system id, a licence file is now present in the /etc/opt/eloquence/ (HP-UX 10.x) or /opt/eloquence/etc/ (HP-UX 9.x) directory.

The HP ELOQUENCE licence file is a plain text file which contains all licences which apply to the HP ELOQUENCE product. It is normally created automatically during the installation process. Please refer to /opt/eloquence/newconfig/config/licence for a description of HP ELOQUENCE licence file. /opt/eloquence/bin/chklic may be used to check the licence file.

As a benefit of this approach, the executables are no longer host specific and may installed or maintained using the usual operating system tools.

Installation

 HP ELOQUENCE A.05.02 can only be installed and run on HP-UX Operating System Release 9.0 or later.

HP ELOQUENCE no longer needs its own installation or update tools, as it is now installed and updated by the usual operating system tools.

NOTE: Hard disk minimum available space for installation: 20 Mbytes.

Eloquence terminfo database

 HP ELOQUENCE provides its own terminfo database. It is located in /opt/eloquence/share/terminfo. The terminfo sources are installed in /opt/eloquence/share/terminal. Because this terminfo database is local to the HP ELOQUENCE product, the terminal definitions are not available unless you start HP ELOQUENCE. To install the HP ELOQUENCE terminfo scripts globally, follow the instructions below:
  1. logon as "superuser"
  2. cd /opt/eloquence/share/terminal
  3. tic 2392 2394 70092 70094 70096 70098 70060
This will compile the terminfo scripts into /usr/share/lib/terminfo (HP-UX 10.x) or /usr/lib/terminfo (HP-UX 9.x).

Starting / Stopping eloqd (HP-UX 10.x)

 The HP ELOQUENCE daemon eloqd ist started automatically by default if runlevel 2 is entered (after a reboot or single user mode) and will be shut down automatically on reboot.

The automatic eloqd startup is configured in the startup configuration file /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence.

To start eloqd on demand enter the following command: 

   /sbin/init.d/eloq start
To stop eloqd on demand enter the following command: 
   /sbin/init.d/eloq stop

New product structure

 With the release of HP-UX 10.0, Hewlett-Packard will be introducing a new filesystem layout paradigm, modelled after SVR4 and OSF. The model provides many benefits, such as separating the operating system from applications and aligning HP with an industry-accepted file system layout.

HP ELOQUENCE A.05.02 follows the HP-UX 10.0 file system conventions and provides a similar file structure with HP-UX 9.x and HP-UX 10.x.
