HP ELOQUENCE A.06.31 - patch 0203071

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch fixes a defect of the eloqdb6 program as released with
A.06.31. This patch will be integrated in subsequent HP Eloquence
releases.
A.06.31 must be installed before applying this patch.

This patch replaces patch PE63-0202130 (beta).

Severity:
 PE63-0203071: CRITICAL (data corruption)
 PE63-0202130: BUGFIX   (connection failure on Windows NT)


Fixed problems:
---------------

Platforms: HP-UX, Linux

* Under rare circumstances data corruption could occur during
  on-line backup if a significant number of concurrent disk i/o
  operations happened simultaneously.

* An internal stack overflow could cause schema/dbcreate/dbpurge
  to hang or fail.

Platforms: All

* The number of write requests to the transaction log volume have
  been reduced by bundling them to a single request whenever possible.
  This can result in a significant performance gain on write
  operations such as DBPUT or DBUPDATE up to 15 percent.


Patch PE63-0202130
------------------

Platforms: Windows NT

* Due to a race condition the eloqdb6 could sometimes fail to accept
  an incoming connection, causing an error -700 on DBOPEN.
