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

This patch adds enhancements or fixes defects of the Eloquence

Eloquence B.07.10 must be installed before applying this patch.

Severity:
 PE71-0801245: BUG FIX

Superseded patches:
 PE71-0705308: ENHANCEMENT
 PE71-0610201: BUG FIX


Patch PE71-0801245
------------------

Platforms: All

* The dbcfix utility was modified to use a default cache size
  of 64 MB (#3499). Previously dbcfix used the cache size
  configured in the database configuration file. This could
  result in problems on HP-UX if insufficient address space
  was available.

* Added a new command line option -b <size> to specify the
  buffer cache size (in MB).


Patch PE71-0705308
------------------

Platforms: All

* The dbcfix utility was changed to retain additional
  status information in the volume files that is used by 
  replication.
  
  Older dbcfix versions did reset this information and 
  therefore could cause a problem when used with replication.


Patch PE71-0610201
------------------

Platforms: All

* A problem in dbcfix was fixed where a duplicate pointer in a
  chain head could cause dbcfix to fail (#3227).  
  
  A message like below was output.

  Broken chain (2) at record xxx
   Circular reference detected
   Truncating chain at record 0
  ** validate_chain() failed.
  chain head #xxx was: cnt=xxx, first=xxx, last=xxx

  *** aborted ***
