3190.0. "What is the function served by MRAPPSHAR.EXE?" by HTSC19::DENISLI () Wed Mar 26 1997 12:16

    What is the function served by MRAPPSHAR.EXE?
        
    In my system, ANA/IMAGE displays the following data,
        
                module name: "MRAPPSHAR"
                module version: "MRIF V3.3-113"
                creation   date/time: 15-JAN-1997 17:54
        
    In the customer site, the version is V3.3-115 and the creation date is
    1996.  The version is newer but the creation date is older.  Why??
        
    Can anyone help?
        
    Thanks and regards,
    Denis

    This the Message Router application interface sharable image.
    
    When you install MR, it (and the other images) are linked on site.
    As I recall, MR V3.3 included MRIF -113, and V3.3A had -115 in it.
    So I'd say you installed V3.3 on your system in Jan-1997, and they 
    installed V3.3A on their system in 1996. You ought to upgrade :-)
    
    A pre-linked version is also bundled with some other applications.
    Current versions of DMW, ALL-IN-1 and XMR have -116 in their kits.

3190.2115 or 116, which one is better?HTSC19::DENISLIWed Apr 02 1997 06:406
    If I installed MR 3.3A and MailWorks, which version of the image should
    I keep?  115 or 116?  What is the difference between these two version?
    Bug fix or ...?
    
    Thanks and regards,

    Mailworks etc are supposed to check and not replace a newer version 
    (ie higher image ident) with an older version during installation. 
    Assuming you install Mailworks after MR (duh), and assuming it's the
    'latest' Mailworks kit, you should have -116 when you are done.
    
    As I recall, -116 was mostly some obscure tweaks for XMR. I can check
    if you really need to know. Are you just curious, or having some problem?

    Yes, Please check for me.  The MailWorks in the customer site sees slow
    problem the cause of which is not isolated yet.  We are looking into
    every suspected aspect.

    The changes revolved around mrif$get_/put_nbs_file and some internal
    state checking; mrif was incorrectly allowing/disallowing certain 
    calls in certain states. I'm not sure what a "slow problem" is, but
    I can almost guarentee you that it wasn't introduced by -116. (BTW,
    -116 was created in October of 1994; if there was a problem with it,
    it's a fairly safe bet we'd of heard of it long before now...)
