2.20.4 NTP/BS2 TimeServer with highest priority
The time server NTP (NETWORK-TIME-PROTOCOL) is the server with
the highest priority in BS2000 when the stratum value is less
than five or the system parameter NTPSHIGH is set to "Y" (yes)
and BS2000 has not received a value from NTP about the supplied
time quality (stratum) because interNet Services earlier than
V3.0B is in use.
This ensures that ADJUST-TIME jobs only change the system time
under the control of the NTP server.
2.20.5 Introduction of a default account number
*2 From BS2000/OSD V6.0A onwards, the attribute LOGON-DEFAULT can
*2 be assigned as an account number for each user. This is used
*2 if no account number was entered at login. The command
*2 /MODIFY-DEFAULT-ACCOUNT allows each user to determine his own
*2 default account number.
2.20.6 Increase in the maximum paging area size
*2 In BS2000/OSD V6.0A, the maximum paging area size has been
*2 increased from 256 Gbyte to 4 Tbyte.
2.20.7 Advanced support of large SM Pubsets
*2 The maximum size of a volume set is 4 Tbyte.
*2 An SM Pubset can consist of up to 255 volume sets and can have
*2 a maximum total size of approx. 1000 Tbyte. The previous limit
*2 of 4 Tbyte for a user’s space allocation in an SM Pubset can
*2 be exceeded. In the parameter TOTAL-SPACE, the command MODIFY-
*2 USER-PUBSET-ATTRIBUTES for the operands PERM-SPACE-LIMITS, TEMP-
*2 SPACE-LIMITS and WORK-SPACE-LIMITS has been expanded with the
*2 value *UNLIMITED. The user’s space contingent is displayed with
*2 the command SHOW-USER-ATTRIBUTES.
*2 If in the case of part-qualified SHOW-FILE-ATTRIBUTES the
*2 previous maximum value of 4 Tbyte is exceeded, the entire place
*2 allocation is issued in units of 1000 PAM pages.
2.20.8 COPY-FILE for open UDS files
*2 Open UDS database files affixed in the catalog with UDS_FAR bit
*2 are protected by COPY-FILE until their physical end.
*2 Copies of the database can therefore be produced in parallel
*2 with the expansion of the UDS database.
