Installation Instructions:
1. Install this patch ONLY IF you have NetWare for SAA 1.3B or
have installed the PTF410 series.
2. Put SAA007.EXE and SAA008.EXE into separate empty
directories on a hard disk or network drive.Make sure these
directory paths are available to the server (s) you are
updating. For standardizing you should create directories
saa007 and SAA008.
3. Unzip SAA007.EXE.
SAA007 <Enter>
4. Unzip SAA008.EXE.
SAA008 <Enter>
5. Do a CSDOWN so that COMMEXEC will not be running.
6. LOAD Install.
7. Select Product Options.
8. Press <Insert>. You should select the directory path created
above ie, sys:\saa007 or c:\saa007
9. Select server to update.
10. Press <Enter>.
11. Wait for the update to complete.
12. Press <Esc>. You should see NWSAA 1.3.56.
13. Press <Insert>.select directory path for saa008 ie,
sys:\saa008 or c:\saa008.
14. Select the server to update.
15. Press <Enter>
.
16. Wait for the update to complete.
17. Press <Esc>. You should see COMMEXEC 1.3.46
NOTE: THE COMMEXEC.NLM OR THE NWSAA.NLM SHOULD NEVER BE
MANUALLY COPIED INTO THE SYSTEM. THE INSTALL SCRIPTS SHOULD
ALWAYS USED]]] THIS WILL CAUSE THE VERSION INFORMATION TO BE
INCORRECT .
18. Reload COMMEXEC.
19. Reload the profile.
20. Copy the new STRNRTR.EXE and NOVELLRT.OVL over any copies
that may exist outside of SYS:\SYSTEM\NWSAA\AS400
21. Read SAACOPY.TXT for instructions on the use of SAACOPY.
Patch History:
SAA007 supersedes both SAA001, SAA003, and SAA004. SAA001
contained CSMPX.NLM dated 2-17-94, which randomized CSLIST.
Such randomization is not desirable at all sites.
SAA001 and SAA002 superseded PTF 443, PTF 435 and PTF 438.
These files also replace the NetWire file SAACPY.EXE that
introduced the problem of restored downstream LUs being unable
to establish host sessions and PTF 431 that was the first PTF
for SAA 1.3B.
SAA008 supersedes SAA002.
Solution Specifics:
A. GENERAL
1. CMTCP.NLM modified to handle multiple QELs in a single
packet.
2. The unexpected disconnect symptom was corrected by the
patch.
3. The "Failure to attach with Password Encryption turned on"
symptom was corrected by this patch.
4. RUNCMD responses will now be limited to 220 characters. If
in excess of 220 characters, will be truncated. Single line
RUNCMD responses will be broken down into 220 character chunks.
5. OS/2 DOS Box support for CSCON is now provided.
6. CMTCP.NLM was modified for compatibility.
(R3SDLC.LAN was modified to correct problem 8, 9, and 10.)
7. In a multidrop environment, the SAA server could hang if
another device kept RTS high.
8. When CSCON was configured to keep RTS high, it was not kept
high.
9. Spurious interrupts/ missed polls.
10. In some environments, pressing Attention during a Logoff
could result in a Profile Unload.
11. R3SDLC and SDLCS were modified so that DTR is not toggled
when SAA receives a disconnect command in a leased line
configuration.
12. The new SDLCS acknowledges DISCs from NCP.
13. SDLCS.NLM was modified so that a "DLCI Error" will no
longer result when loading both a PU2.0 and a PU2.1 profile to
the same board.
14. SDLCS.NLM was modified so that the link will no longer fail
to come up when a DISC immediately follows SNRM/UA.
15. When changing the number of sessions (CNOS) from X to Y,
must be at 0 first before the change can be made.
16.When running the DCA emulator using mod 5 , the session
would be terminated by the user.Subsequent users would get 4B?
on the OIA line when trying to get a new session.
17. Many LUX fixes involving the nwsaa nlm and the lux nlm.
18. When definite response was turned on as well as pacing,
NWSAA would return a sense code of 200A.
19. Changes to the MPA driver to support server with more than
16 MB of ram.
NOTE: MPA driver uses interrupt 3 and is non-shareable
, run reference setup to make sure no other device uses
interrupt 3 ]]
For Netware for OS/2 users who are running MPA board ONLY]
load MPASDLC Name=board mode=ns (fixed NRZI/NRZ mode
switching problem.
B. SAACOPY
1. The CONFIG.SYS for the workstation from which you run
SAACOPY must contain FILES=20 (or greater). If it does not,
you will receive the following error message when you try to
back up or restore SAA service files:
MESSAGE
Unable to Open File
2. If you backed up Downstream PU configurations with files in
SAACPY.EXE and you must restore them, please contact the Sysop
on NetWire in NCONNECT Section
3. Previous versions of SAACOPY could not copy between a 1.3
Communications Server and a 1.4 Communications Server (or vice
versa).
4. Connections were failing to clear. Therefore, as new
connections were made the maximum number would be reached.
5. After a profile was copied onto a NetWare 4.01 server, an
attempt to run CSCON from the same NetWare drive would cause
the workstation to hang.
6. Under certain circumstances, the use of SAACOPY then CSCON
could result in the DOS prompt being changed to "%p".
C. WITH SNALINKS / LINKSNA
Even though SNALINKS was configured for auto connect, the
connection did not come back up automatically after a link was
downed.
Now has compatibility with MPR 3.0 with fixes implemented in
this patch.
Compatibility was also implemented with NWSAA and the new
"LINKSNA" due out in the near future.
D. SHARED FOLDERS
Support for the "query conversation state" service verb has
been added. Therefore, attempts to access Shared Folders will
no longer result in a drive error.
E. Using NetView
When the new DLM.NLM is used, a server crash will no longer
result from a REQMS resulting in a DLM_GET_STATISTICS or
DLM_RESET_STATISTICS.
