Patch Name: PHSS_29612 Patch Description: s700_800 11.X OV ITO7.1X Comm Agt Windows A.07.13 Creation Date: 03/08/26 Post Date: 03/09/01 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.00 11.11 s800: 11.00 11.11 Products: OpenView Operations 7.1 Filesets: OVOPC-CLT.OVOPC-NT-CLT,fr=A.07.10,fa=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP OVOPC-CLT.OVOPC-NT-CLT,fr=A.07.10,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_32/64,v=HP Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: Yes PHSS_29612: MEMORY_LEAK Category Tags: defect_repair general_release critical memory_leak Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHSS_29612 Symptoms: PHSS_29612: - SR: B555016256 When restricting ports for CODA clients on Windows systems according to the Firewall guide (v 2, page 25) these ports are not released immediately after being used (OS behavior). Therefore no further connections possible. - SR: B555016281 Coda doesn't answer to requests to port 381 on few systems. - SR: B555016032 The process opcapm.exe may show a memory leak during runtime. - SR: B555013635 Many instances of llbserver can run in parallel on the same port. - SR: B555012657 llbserver is now enhanced. It is possible to print out a list of applications registered with llbserver by running 'llbserver -query'. With 'llbserver -ping' one can check if llbserver is running. Defect Description: PHSS_29612: - SR: B555016256 Client ports are not released immediately after being used. Resolution: Client port restrictions are not used for local connections. - SR: B555016281 Coda doesn't answer to requests to port 381 on few systems because the Windows Socket layer gets closed. Resolution: Restart the Windows Socket layer. - SR: B555016032 The memory leak that shows up in opcapm.exe has several causes. 1. The application opens a connection to the Cluster several times, but does not close it. 2. The application reconnects to the Control Agent several times without disconnecting and overwrites the internal connection structure. 3. The application leaks while reading the XML configuration file due to a memory leak in the used BBC XML parser. - SR: B555013635 Many instances of llbserver can run in parallel on the same port. Now llbserver checks whether another instance is already running on configured port. - SR: B555012657 llbserver is now enhanced. It is possible to print out a list of applications registered with llbserver by running 'llbserver -query'. With 'llbserver -ping' one can check if llbserver is running.
