SLS ptf7135a: Year 2000 Supplement for ARCserve/Open 2.2

 

For:  SCO ARCserve/Open from Cheyenne Release 2.2.0l for UnixWare 7.0.0, 7.0.1
    SCO ARCserve/Open from Cheyenne Release 2.2.0k for SCO UnixWare 2.1.1 -2.1.3

Date posted: 15-OCT-99

Description: This SLS corrects all currently-known Year 2000 problems with SCO ARCserve/Open 2.2.0 on SCO UnixWare 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 7.0.0 and 7.0.1.

Problems Addressed
------------------

1. Reports generated using the Report Manager GUI report all Y2K dates 
   incorrectly.

   When a report is generated, dates that are year 2000 or greater 
   are incorrectly displayed as: 100 (year 2000), 101 (year 2001),
   102 (year 2002), and so on. Depending on the version of the
   operating system on which SCO ARCserve/Open is being run, the 
   year 2000 may also be displayed as a two-digit number of 69 or
   greater.

   The correct format for the dates should be 00 (year 2000), 01 (Year 2001),
   02 (Year 2002), and so on.

2. Output from as_qmgr (command line) reports Y2K dates incorrectly.

   When you run as_qmgr to list the jobs in the queue or to change 
   the date in which a job will run, year 2000 or greater dates are 
   displayed incorrectly.  They are displayed as described in problem 
   #1 above.

3. Autopilot labels tape incorrectly when year is 2000 or greater.

   When autopilot labels a tape it includes the current date as part 
   of the label name.  When the year is 2000 or greater the date used 
   on the label is incorrect.  It uses dates as described in problem 
   #1 above.

4. Using the format tapes option in the Device Manager GUI to format 
   a tape in a tape library displays incorrect expiration dates if 
   the year is in the year 2000 or greater.

   If you are using a changer or tape library and you choose to format 
   a tape, the default expiration date is not displayed correctly in the 
   year 2000 or greater.  This date is displayed as described in problem #1.
