Patch Name: PHSS_9253 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 PHIGS 3.40 Development Patch Creation Date: 97/01/21 Post Date: 97/01/30 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: GraphicsPHIGSDK B.10.20 PHIGS 3.40 Development Environment Filesets: GraphicsPHIGSDK.PHIGS-PRG Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_9253 Symptoms: PHSS_9253: - See defect description. PHSS_8383: - See defect description. PHSS_7607: - see defect description. Defect Description: PHSS_9253: - PHIGS can dump core while rendering polyline elements, if the attribute caching traverser has been specifically disabled. - Incorrect operation of keyboard input in PHIGS. - Some degenerate POLYLINE SET 3 WITH COLOUR (ppls3c, polyline_set3_colr) elements may have their non-degenerate components rendered, where the whole element should be ignored. - Performance slow down due to some traversals of structures being edited. - PHIGS NURB surfaces may render isoparametric curves in the wrong color on VRX-family devices. - PHIGS nameset operations perform faster. PHSS_8383: - Segmentation violation may occur when inserting PHIGS ISO Fill Area primitives that are non-convex into a structure before a PHIGS Workstation is opened. - Optimization: consecutive POLYLINE 3 calls are faster. - PHIGS and other applications may hang on Hyper & Visualize devices for certain offscreen windows. - PHIGS Compliant backface lighting could cause core dump on VISUALIZE-24. - PHIGS fileset lacks /usr/lib/phigs/char_sets/char_set_info link, possibly breaking 9.X PHIGS archive programs. - The PHIGS traverser has been enhanced to process attribute structure elements more efficiently. To disable enhancement set environment variable HP_NO_CACHE_ATTRIBUTES=1. PHSS_7607: -PHIGS traverser performance has been increased for those applications that can meet certain constraints: * namesets are small (largest name is 31) * SET HIGHLIGHTING BETWEEN HANDLES ESCAPE (pue330, pescape_u330), IGNORE ELEMENTS BETWEEN HANDLES ESCAPE (pue332, pescape_u332) are *not* used by the application. * the application keeps modelling and viewing information in a separate structure from the model data, and does not edit the structure(s) containing model data in between regenerations.

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 PHSS_9253 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_9253.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/PHSS_9253.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/PHSS_9253. 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 PHSS_9253.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/PHSS_9253.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
