*RMC16004 - 11/18/2010 - Support for IPv6 has been added to ROPES. * *Problem Summary: * ROPES support for TCP/IP attached printers and print servers has * been limited to IPv4 networking. With IPv4 numbers running out in * the public arena, and some organizations moving to IPv6 internally * as well, we have added IPv6 support to ROPES. * * Some changes to the ROPES Trace have also been incorporated for * cosmetic reasons. We have also documented all the trace entries. * *Symptoms: * Full IPv6 addresses cannot be defined to ROPES if the :: address * compression does not apply. Host names that resolve to IPv6 * addresses cannot be processed. * *Temporary Fix: * The following replacement object modules must be obtained from * technical support: * ROPEDRVR, ROPEKTBL, ROPEICTL, ROPELPRP, ROPEMIGR, ROPEMI17, * ROPEMNT, ROPEROM1, ROPESOCP, ROPESYSA, ROPETRCE, R51LPILT, * R51LPIUM, R51LPI0, R51LPI0R, R51LPMUM, R51LPM0, R51LPM0S * The following replacement source modules must be obtained from * technical support: * ROPELPRC, ROPESYSA, RUNMIGR, R51LPRRC * The following replacement COBOL modules must be obtained from * technical support: * ROPESYSA * *SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: * Please read the associated Read Me document for critical infor- * mation regarding compatibility issues with previous versions of * ROPES. Changes are being made to the ROPELPRO data set which will * increase the record size from its current 539 bytes to its fully * defined length of 640 bytes. Older levels of ROPES will fail when * reading these new records. * * This feature is disabled by default. A new on/off control is * provided on the ROPES SYSTEM CONTROL INFORMATION MAINTENANCE * panel in the ROMT transaction. * *Documenation Changes: * Documentation for the IPv6 support has been provided in the form * of updates to the relevant manuals. Changed are: * Administrators Guide * Utilities Guide * Messages and Codes * New Messages ROPES0122, ROPES0123, ROPES0124 * Changed Messages: ROPES0071 * General Information * *Permanent Fix: * This enhancement will be incorporated in the next release of * ROPES. * *End Of Document Progress List R51LPRRC updated 11/22/2010 tested 01/18/2011 ROPELPRC updated 01/13/2011 tested 03/06/2011 ROPEDRVR updated and tested 03/06/2011 ROPEKTBL updated and tested 12/08/2010 ROPEICTL updated and tested 12/08/2010 ROPELPRP ROPEMIGR updated and tested 12/30/2010 ROPEMI17 updated and tested 12/30/2010 ROPEMNT updated and tested 11/18/2010 ROPEROM1 updated and tested 11/18/2010 ROPESOCP updated and tested 03/06/2011 ROPESYSA updated and tested 11/18/2010 ROPETRCE updated and tested 03/22/2011 RUNMIGR updated and tested 12/30/2010 R51LPILT updated 11/22/2010 tested 01/18/2011 R51LPIUM updated 12/07/2010 tested 01/18/2011 R51LPI0 updated 11/22/2010 tested 01/18/2011 R51LPI0R updated 11/22/2010 tested 01/18/2011 R51LPMUM updated 12/07/2010 tested 01/18/2011 R51LPM0 updated 11/22/2010 tested 01/18/2011 R51LPM0S updated 11/22/2010 tested 01/18/2011
