In Big5<->ucs2 tables, a single character mapping is missing. In eucTW<->ucs2 tables, several characters are incorrectly being mapped to different Unicode characters than are expected. Data loss may occur when sending this converted data to Unicode-aware systems (eg. NT). Defect Description: PHCO_18029: The conversion tables of Traditional Chinese has wrong entries or missing entries. Resolution: They are fixed as follows: - big5=ucs2 and ucs2=big5 Added following conversion Big5 <-> UCS2 0xa140 0x3000 - eucTW=ucs2 and ucs2=eucTW Deleted following conversion eucTW<-> UCS2 0Xa2a6 0X2017 Modified conversions as following: eucTW<-> UCS2 0xa2b9 0x2266 0xa2bA 0x2267 0xa2e1 0x2215 SR: 4701421354 Patch Files: /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/big5=ucs2 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/ucs2=big5 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/eucTW=ucs2 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/ucs2=eucTW what(1) Output: /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/big5=ucs2: $A.10.02 $big5 =) ucs2 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/ucs2=big5: $A.10.02 $ucs2 =) big5 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/eucTW=ucs2: $A.10.02 $eucTW =) ucs2 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/ucs2=eucTW: $A.10.02 $ucs2 =) eucTW cksum(1) Output: 3098506450 110748 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/big5=ucs2 3625813719 110748 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/ucs2=big5 65070248 147636 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/eucTW=ucs2 3087488127 147636 /usr/lib/nls/iconv/tables.1/ucs2=eucTW Patch Conflicts: None Patch Dependencies: None Hardware Dependencies: None Other Dependencies: None Supersedes: None Equivalent Patches: PHCO_14774: s700: 11.00 s800: 11.00 Patch Package Size: 560 KBytes Installation Instructions: Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms and conditions for precautions, scope of license, restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties, before installing this patch. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHCO_18029 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_18029.depot 5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the server to install the patch on the server and the clients: swcluster -i -b This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and force all clients to be shut down. WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the patch installation. Installing the patch while the clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to serious problems. The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which you must specify: alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700 source depot path - /tmp/PHCO_18029.depot To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install" from the Menubar. 5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster: - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install the patch on the cluster server. - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install the patch on the cluster clients. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_18029. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHCO_18029.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHCO_18029.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
