We investigated the latest code for products in our organization,
including all the system integrated products (SIPs): OpenVMS Cluster
Systems, Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS, RMS Journaling, DECnet for OpenVMS, and
DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS. All of these SIPs are Year 2000 ready. See our investigation findings for the
status of other layered products.
The only products we did not investigate are freeware and products that
are going to be retired. For more information about the goals and scope
of the OpenVMS Year 2000 Initiative, see the white paper.
The OpenVMS Year 2000 Initiative entailed a due diligence investigation
of the OpenVMS Version 7.1 operating system. Engineers were asked to
ensure that the methods and tools used for searches and analyses
provide results that were equivalent to the results that would be
obtained from a line-by-line code review. We developed a formal
investigation process and issued guidelines to be used by all who
investigated the base operating system. Those guidelines, which are
summarized in this document, were also distributed to layered products
that run on OpenVMS.
The following pages describe the OpenVMS Year 2000 investigation
process, which included the following steps:
- » Defining the scope of the project
- » Finding and analyzing potential problem areas in code
- » Testing the system for Year 2000 problems
- » Documenting the findings
- » Resolving any Year 2000 limitations
