·
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
The PORTMAPPER service must be started for OVPA components to function
accurately.
OVPA will NOT work with third party IP products. The OVPA software links
with the HP TCP/IP network product and therefore requires the HP TCP/IP
product to run.
·
SSL for OpenVMS
You must have SSL Version 1.2 or later installed and started on your OpenVMS system. The SSL kits are available at:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ssl/ssl.html
·
The Performance Data Collector for OpenVMS
You must have the Performance Data Collector (TDC) Version 2.3-15 or 2.3-20
installed on your OpenVMS system for OVPA to collect data.
The complete TDC kit is included with the kit you downloaded from the web.
Install only the run-time part of TDC for each version of OpenVMS that you want
to run with OVPA.
The latest kit can also be obtained from:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/tdc/
Note:
The TDC kits released after 2.3-15 and before 2.3-20 have some compatibility
issues with OVPA.
