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SAA001 and SAA002 superseded PTF 443, PTF 435 and PTF 438.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.
