Installation 2.2 Preserving the Old Environment 2.2 Preserving the Old Environment Applications that run in the RTR Version 2 environment on OpenVMS systems will run in the RTR Version 3 environment on OpenVMS systems. However, as part of your testing and verification of the new environment, you should check that an RTR Version 2 application runs as expected after the upgrade. You cannot mix RTR Version 2 and Version 3 routers and back-end systems; all routers and back-end systems in a facility m

3 Architectural Changes RTR Version 3 introduces certain process and other architectural changes. The following sections highlight these changes. 3.1 RTR Daemon Process In RTR Version 3, a new RTR daemon process (called RTRD) is used by the RTRACP process to build TCP/IP connections for internode links. The RTR daemon process is present only on systems with IP networking installed and with IP enabled as an RTR transport (see Chapter 4, Network Issues, for information on setting your network tran
