Qedit for MPE Change Notice
Contents
1. Server Process By default the Qedit server uses the MPE iX Remote Process Management RPM service to start each server session With RPM the client sends a program name and an Info string along with logon information to the RPM listening process The RPM listening process then validates the user logon and starts the specified program with the Info string The server process is seen as an MPE 1X session but the process is not included in your user limit The Qedit server software is not available for MPEV Logon Sequence When you use an MPE iX connection to open a file in Qedit for Windows this is what happens 1 A new host session is started and the user name and passwords are validated this includes additional logon processing by products such as SECURIT Y 3000 2 The Qedit client asks RPM on the host to run the Ci Pub Sys program with an Info string For example Qedit 6 0 for HP e3000 Change Notice Qedit for Windows 17 qedit pub robelle d lt ip address gt The lt ip address gt is the IP address of the Qedit client 3 The Qedit process starts and it verifies that you are authorized to use Qedit in server mode 4 Any system wide Qeditmgr files are always processed Processing of account and group Qeditmgr files is optional and must be enabled in the client 5 The requested file is opened 6 A response is sent to the client It is important to note that logon UDCs are not executed as part of this2. process Any environment variables or file equations that are set up as part of a logon UDC will not be applied in the Qedit server process Firewall Protocol and the Server The default protocol is usually sufficient at most sites However some customers use firewall devices to further restrict access to their HP e3000 The default protocol might not work at some of these sites For this reason the server offers a Firewall protocol In order to use this protocol a Qedit listener has to be running at all times You should add this job to your system startup procedure stream qserver geditjob robelle If the job is not running all new connection requests are rejected Currently the only way to stop the job is to abort it With this setup the server runs as a listener similar to a UNIX daemon It waits for incoming connection requests on a specific port number Like the HP UX server the default port number is 7395 If you want to use a different port you have to modify the Qserver job stream Upon receiving a request the listener passes the information down to RPM which then takes over QEDSERVMODE JCW The Qedit server process always executes the commands in the system wide Qeditmgr files e g Qeditmgr Pub Sys Processing of the account and group Qeditmgr files can be enabled in the client To indicate that you are using the Qedit server in either the server or the nonserver mode which are not exactly the same we provide
3. a JCW called QEDSERVMODE QEDSERVMODE is set to zero 0 if you are in nonserver mode and nonzero if you are in server mode If you 18 Qedit for Windows Qedit 6 0 for HP e3000 Change Notice are using the Qedit server you should modify your Qeditmgr file so that few if any commands are executed in server mode For example if Qedservmode 0 then set extprog mpex pub vesoft endif Qedit 6 0 for HP e3000 Change Notice Qedit for Windows 19 Bugs Fixed Since Version 5 6 Introduction This release fixes a number of bugs The number in brackets at the end of each section indicates the version in which the problem has been fixed MPE commands with long Info string do not cause stack corruption anymore 5 6 10 e UDC commands would stop working after a calc command greater than 138 characters 5 9 e Regular Expressions Qedit would improperly report the error String longer than maximum allowed if the expression specified is longer than the window of the rangelist 5 7 10 e Text command The text command would fail with Integer Divide by Zero error when texting in some variable length or byte stream files 5 7 11 Qedit 6 0 for HP e3000 Change Notice Bugs Fixed Since Version 5 6 21
4. underscore character can be used as a string delimiter and as as valid character in a Posix filename If you enter a filename containing an underscore in the INFO string parameter Qedit interprets the underscore as a string delimiter For example if you enter run gedit pub robelle info c t my history vi This command should start up Qedit have it open the Posix file called my_history and go into full screen mode automatically However since the underscore is seen as a string delimiter whatever follows is basically ignored during command processing Thus the file is opened but Qedit stays at the line mode prompt We hope to have a permanent fix in a future release In the meantime the workaround is to explicitly identify the underscore as being part of the filename You can do this in different ways Here are two examples run gedit pub robelle info c t file my_history vi The file keyword and the backslash characters are used to clearly identify the filename The other approach is remove the underscore Qedit 6 0 for HP e3000 Change Notice from the list of valid delimiters using the Set StringDelimiters command run qedit pub robelle info set stringd posix c t my history vi The file approach is simpler as it only affects that particular command The Set StringDelimiter approach should be used with caution as it might affect other commands during the edit session Nested Command Files
