GT.M V5.2-001 is now available (details are in the Release Notes at
http://www.fidelityinfoservices.com/user_documentation/GTM-V52-001-RL/GTM_V5.2-001_Release_Notes.html).
In addition to bug fixes, highlights of the release include:
V5.2-001 permits NOBEFORE_IMAGE journaling with GT.M database
replication. Previously, GT.M database replication required
BEFORE_IMAGE journaling. NOBEFORE_IMAGE journaling consumes less I/O
bandwidth in normal use while BEFORE_IMAGE journaling delivers faster
recovery times from system failures. Especially in a logical multi-
site deployment of an application that pushes the I/O bandwidth of the
servers it runs on, increased recovery times in the unlikely event of
a crash that result from the use of NOBEFORE_IMAGE journaling may well
be a trade-off worth making in order to obtain more throughput from
available servers.
Also in V5.2-001, it is now possible to replicate from a primary
instance deployed on a server with a big-endian hardware architecture
(for example, IBM pSeries AIX or Sun SPARC Solaris) to one with a
little-endian architecture (for example, x86 GNU/Linux) and vice
versa.
For usage of GT.M on x86 GNU/Linux under the terms of the GNU General
Public License, it is available at Source Forge (http://
sourceforge.net/projects/sanchez-gtm).
As an added precaution against errors in transmission and other causes
of damage to the distribution files, checksums are available for each
file. Please verify the checksums after downloading and before
installing any GT.M distribution. If you get a checksum error, please
download the file and try again. If you get the same incorrect
checksum twice in a row, please send e-mail to gtmsupport@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
as
soon as possible.
