These release notes support CommandPointTM Base V4.5.1 on systems running DYNIX/ptx® V4.5.1 or later maintenance releases. CommandPoint Base provides a common infrastructure that is required for CommandPoint ADMIN and CommandPoint SVM, and is optional for CommandPoint Clusters and ptx®/Configuration Assistant.
If CommandPoint Base V4.5.1 is not installed, you cannot run the CommandPoint Clusters client GUI on DYNIX/ptx or the JavaTM version of ptx/Configuration Assistant. However, you will still be able to run the CommandPoint Clusters server, the CommandPoint Clusters client GUI on Windows NT®, and the ASCII version of ptx/Configuration Assistant.
CommandPoint Base V4.5.1 provides the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from ptx/JSE V3.0.0, which is based on the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, V1.2.1 from Sun Microsystems®. CommandPoint Base V4.5.1 does not include a subset of the perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) program as this functionality is part of DYNIX/ptx V4.5.1.
CommandPoint Base V4.5.1 requires the following DYNIX/ptx software. Note that this list includes the minimum versions required; later versions will work as long as they are compatible with the version of DYNIX/ptx on your system.
Installing CommandPoint Base requires approximately 56 MB.
CommandPoint Base is provided on the DYNIX/ptx V4.5.1 Layered Products Software, Volume 2 CD. Other required software for CommandPoint Base (DYNIX/ptx and ptx/XWM) is located on the DYNIX/ptx V4.5.1 and Layered Products Software, Volume 1 CD. CommandPoint Base is installed with the standard ptx/INSTALL installation process. The DYNIX/ptx V4.5.1 and Layered Products Software Installation Release Notes tell how to use ptx/INSTALL to install software on a host running DYNIX/ptx V4.5.1.
There are no open problem reports against CommandPoint Base and no problems existed in CommandPoint Base V4.5.1. If you are having graphical user interface display issues with a Java application supported by CommandPoint Base, refer to the "Common Questions and Answers" section of the ptx/JSE V3.0.1 Release Notes. The subsection "Graphical User Interface Display Issues" provides general information on this topic that may be helpful.
