5.4 Interoperability

5.4 Interoperability

All supported operating systems can interoperate together in the RTR environment, as described in Table 5–1.

Table 5–1 Interoperability Between Nodes

RTR Version 3 nodes
interoperate with...	Description
Other RTR Version 2	In RTR Version 3, RTR uses data marshalling (examination
nodes	of byte format of messages) and can handle data of more
	than one byte format, making the appropriate translation as
	required. However, an application running with RTR may
	not adequately handle different the byte formats used on
	different hardware architectures.
	RTR Version 3 lets you run both RTR Version 2 and RTR
	Version 3 nodes in the same environment, but because the
	RTR Version 2 API does not have the data marshalling
	capability, an RTR Version 2 application must deal with the
	different data formats.
Other RTR Version 3	RTR Version 3 is fully compatible with other nodes running
nodes	RTR Version 3. See the RTR Version 3 Release Notes for
	specifics on known requirements and restrictions.

5.5 Monitoring

Several screens that provide dynamic information on transactions and system state have changed for RTR Version 3, as described in the following sections.

5.5.1 RTR Version 2 Screens

Table 5–2 lists the RTR Version 2 screens that are no longer available in RTR Version 3. In general, information in these monitor pictures is no longer applicable. For example, there is no longer a need to examine cache, because RTR Version 3 deals with memory management using OpenVMS mailboxes.
