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 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 (using the UNIX/Linux
utility cksum) 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 me as soon as possible.
