Features and enhancements
This section contains installation and features information for Rocket SoftSpy for Model 204 version 7.5.
Before beginning your SoftSpy installation, read through this information about product installation and changes.
New and enhanced SoftSpy features
The SoftSpy code is now included in the Model 204 nucleus, though it remains a separately purchased add-on product. For details on Model 204 version 7.5, see the Release notes for Model 204 version 7.5.
Model 204 version 7.5 incorporates SoftSpy and Sirius Mods.
Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to using SoftSpy:
SoftSpy and SERVNSA
SoftSpy cannot be used in a Model 204 online that uses non-swappable server areas (that is, the value of the SERVNSA parameter is not equal to zero). As of 7.5, if you issue the SPY command or try to create SoftSpy servers in an online with non-zero SERVNSA, it will be rejected with the following error message:
*** M204.1060: SOFTSPY NOT ALLOWED WITH NON SWAPPABLE SERVERS
SoftSpy and FILEORG=x'100', FILEORG=x'200' files
Although you can run applications under SoftSpy that use files set to FILEORG=x'100' or FILEORG=x'200', you cannot use SoftSpy to watch, display, or set fields in those files.
SoftSpy and Model 6 terminals
SoftSpy cannot be used on a Model 6 terminal. (Model 6 terminals are a Sirius Mods extension.) Any attempt to use SoftSpy from a Model 6 terminal will be rejected with the following message:
*** SPY.205: Error: SoftSpy may not be used on Model=6 terminals.
Installation considerations
Prerequisite
Before installing SoftSpy version 7.5, you must have completed these Model 204 installation steps, as described in the Rocket Model 204 Installation Guide for your operating system:
- Install the Model 204 nucleus
- Install Dictionary/204
Note: When you link-edit the Model 204 nucleus, ensure that the SSPY and MUSE text decks/CSECTs are linked in.
For details on SoftSpy installation, see the Softspy installation guide.
System requirements
For more information on Model 204 system requirements, see the Release notes for Model 204 version 7.5.
Server size requirements
SoftSpy requires a 280,000-byte server, with additional requirements for these environments:
DBCSENV=3requires a 286,000-byte server.DBCSENV=4requires a 294,000-byte server.
These requirements are the same as for SoftSpy version 7.4 but larger than for pre-7.4 releases.
