ELOQUENCE B.07.10 - patch PE71-0609180

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

This patch fixes a defect of the Eloquence database client library
as released with Eloquence B.07.10. This patch will be integrated
in the Eloquence B.07.10 release.

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

Severity:
 PE71-0609180: BUG FIX

Superseded patches:
 PE71-0602090: BUG FIX


Patch PE71-0602180
------------------

Platforms: All

* When caching is enabled a failed DBDELETE or DBUPDATE call in a
  specific context could cause the next DBGET call to fail with a
  status -809:225 (#3169).

  When caching is used, the client library maintains its own 
  notation of the current record. This information is verified by 
  the server to make sure the information is in sync. 
  Due to a defect the current record could be updated improperly 
  when a DBDELETE or DBUPDATE call failed, causing the next DBGET 
  call to fail.

* When deleting a detail entry the related automatic master
  could ramain in cache although it was deleted (#3085).
  An application could potentially encounter different behavior 
  when caching was used and a detail entry was removed. In this
  case a related automatic master entry could remain in cache
  temporarily although it was deleted as a side effect of 
  deleting the detail. The client library was changed to 
  correctly handle this situation.

* On HP-UX some process details were sometimes not uploaded to
  the server on connection start (#3082).
  The client library collects some process information and 
  uploads this to the server process for monitoring and audit
  purposes. The call to obtain the server command line could
  fail in some cases, depending on the address range used.

* Status messages for status code -809 (S_IMAGE) used the wrong
  format (#3088).
 
* Changed internal library revision to "B.07.10.06"

* Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.9"


Patch PE71-0602090
------------------

Platforms: All

* When caching is enabled a status code -809:225 could be returned on
  a database request.

  This status indicates that the current record number differs between
  the server process and the client library.

  This problem was caused by a defect in the database client library
  that in a specific case did not correctly handle a situation when
  DBGET mode 4 was previously used to set the current record number
  on a non-existing record (DBGET mode 4 returning status 17).

  Workaround: To workaround this problem the EQ_DBACHE environment
  variable may be set to disable the use of caching: EQ_DBCACHE=0

* Changed internal library revision to "B.07.10.03"

* Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.6"
