Subject: Merging Users' Menu Structures

Category: 
  - Routine

Description: 
============

                          XU*8*253
  
              Merging Users' Menu Structures
  
    When a user is reactivated and there are no "^" jump 
 compiled menus for that user in the ^XUTL global then the 
 software tries to merge the necessary data from the master 
 copy in ^DIC(19,"AXQ") in to the global.  When several 
 users are reactivated at the same time several merges were 
 triggered.  This patch prevents this and causes the merges 
 to take place in an orderly fashion.
  
    Likewise, when a user signs onto a system in a cluster 
 that and does not have the most recent data structures to 
 use a merge is triggered.  A system of flags and locks are 
 now used to control all merges within the Menu System.

 Installation Instructions:
 ==========================
  
      1.   These routines are heavily used so they should
         be installed when there is minimum activity on the
         system
  
      2.   DSM sites - Some of these routines are usually 
         mapped, so you will need to disable mapping for 
         the affected routines.
  
      3.   Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the 
         PackMan menu. This option will load the KIDS 
         (Kernel Installation and Distribution System) package 
         onto your system.
  
      4.   You DO NOT need to stop TaskMan or the 
         background filers.
  
      5.   The patch has now been loaded into a transport 
         global on your system.  On the KIDS menu, select 
         the 'Installation' menu and use the following options: 
  
            Verify Checksums in Transport Global
            Print Transport Global 
            Compare Transport Global to Current System
            Backup a Transport Global
  
             Install Package(s) 
             Select INSTALL NAME: XU*8.0*253
                                  ==========
              Suggested answers to install questions:
  
                 "Want KIDS to Inhibit Logins during the 
                    Install? YES//" NO
                 "Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu 
                    Options, and Protocols? YES//" NO
  
  
      6.  AXP Sites - Answer 'NO' to the question 'Want to 
         MOVE routines to other CPUs?'.
  
      7.  If the routines were unmapped as part of step 2,  
         they should be returned to the mapped set once the 
         installation has run to completion.
