Installation Instructions:
1. Although there are diferences between SAA014 and SAA013,
they report the same version to the installation program.
Therefore, an attempt to install SAA014 over SAA013, will
result in an error message. However, if you are running
NetWare for SAA 1.3B with SAA013 without problems, there is no
reason to put SAA014 on top of SAA013.
2. Make sure you have the latest NIC drivers for your system.
They must be ODI 4.0 compliant!.
3. If you have not already done so, install the LANDR3.EXE
patch.
4. If you have not already done so, install the STRTL3.EXE
patch.
5. Install SAA014, ONLY IF you have NetWare for SAA 1.3B or
have installed the PTF410 series.
6. Put SAA014.EXE into an empty directory, called SAA014, on a
hard disk or network drive. Make sure the directory path is
available to the server(s) you are updating.
7. Unzip SAA014.EXE.
SAA014 <Enter>
8. Have you ever applied SAA008? If you have, you are
currently at version 1.3.46. If you are currently at version
1.3.46 skip to step #9. Do NOT apply SAA008 a second time.
Put SAA008.EXE into an empty directory, called SAA008, on a
hard disk or network drive. Make sure the directory path is
available to the server(s) you are updating.
9. Unzip SAA008.EXE.
SAA008 <Enter>
10. Do a CSDOWN so that COMMEXEC will not be running.
11. LOAD Install.
12. Select Product Options.
13. Press <Insert>. You should select the directory path
created above ie, sys:\saa014 or c:\saa014
14. Select server to update.
15. Press <Enter>.
16. Wait for the update to complete.
17. Press <Esc>. You should see NWSAA 1.3.60
18. If you have never applied SAA008, press <Insert>.select
directory path for SAA008 ie, sys:\SAA008 or c:\SAA008.
19. Select the server to update.
20. Press <Enter>
21. Wait for the update to complete.
22. Press <Esc>. You should see COMMEXEC 1.3.46.
***!!!
!!! IMPORTANT NOTE: Never manually copy COMMEXEC.NLM or
NWSAA.NLM into the system. The install scripts must be used!
If you copy in manually, the version information will be
incorrect. If you have ever applied an ETF that required
copying NWSAA.NLM into the system directory manually, please
recopy the NWSAA.NLM that was on the system just prior to
installing the ETF, and then be sure the version number under
Product Options for NWSAA is lower than the one in this patch.
If an ETF was applied with an install script, you do not have
to recopy NWSAA.NLM (however, be sure the version you have is
lower than the one in this patch). If the version number is
equal than or greater than the one to be installed by this
patch, the install will fail. !!!******
22. Unload and Reload LLC8022.NLM, (this will load the new
LLC8022.NLM)
23. Reload COMMEXEC.
24. Reload the profile.
25. Copy the new STRNRTR.EXE and NOVELLRT.OVL over any copies
that exist outside of SYS:\SYSTEM\NWSAA\AS400.
26. Read SAACOPY.TXT for instructions on the use of SAACOPY.
Please note that there was a patch to SAACOPY that created an
incorrect directory. The INCORRECT PATH is
SYS:\SYSTEM\SAACOPY. Please delete the contents and the
directory. The CORRECT directory path is
SYS:\SYSTEM\NWSAA\SAACOPY. SAA014 will install the files here.
27. 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
28. If you are using the MPA board:
The new MPA driver uses interrupt 3 and is non-shareable, run
reference setup to make sure no other device uses Interrupt 3!
29. If you are using the MPA board with OS/2:
Load MPASDLC Name=board mode=ns
30. If you will be using 3174 X.25 RPQ, copy the new ROUTE.NLM
to the SYSTEM directory and load it with the GBR option.
(specifies that all General Broadcast frames are to be sent as
All Routes Broadcast Frames.) Note: even if you will not be
using 3174 X.25, copying the new ROUTE.NLM is advised. (the
same ROUTE.NLM contained in SROUTE.EXE and included here as a
convenience).
Patch History:
SAA014 supersedes SAA001, SAA003, SAA004, SAA007, and SAA013.
SAA001 contained CSMPX.NLM dated 2/17/94, which randomized
CSLIST. Such randomization is not desirable at many 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 superseded SAA002.
Solution Specifics: (for some of the symptoms listed above)
GENERAL
1. CMTCP.NLM modified to handle multiple QELs in a single
packet. This was done for compatibility.
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.
6. When changing the number of sessions (CNOS) from X to Y,
must be at 0 first before the change can be made.
9. DLM.NLM and LLC8022.NLM modified so that test frames will be
turned around once the link is established.
12. Many fixes for LU6.2, including adding sense code for FMH-7
10086040,CNOS fixes, chaining and bracketing fixes,etc.
13. DLM.NLM modified.
SOLUTIONS RELATED to R3SDLC & SDLCS
5. R3SDLC and SDLCS were modified so that DTR is not toggled
when SAA receives a disconnect command in a leased line
configuration.
8. SDLCS.NLM modified so that the link will no longer fail to
come up when a DISC immediately follows a SNRM/UA.
SAACOPY
4. Connections will now clear. They had not been, and as new
connections were made the maximum number would be reached.
8. Model numbers will now transfer correctly.
AS/400
1. Corrected by adding support for the "query conversation
state" service verb.
OS/2
2. WCM.DLL modified.
USING NETVIEW
DLM.NLM modified so that a server crash will no longer result
from a REQMS resulting in a DLM_GET_STATISTICS or
DLM_RESET_STATISTICS.
DATA LINK SWITCH/CUSTOM DATA LINK
Support provided for data spanning multiple data blocks,
instead of being required to remain in one data block. This
also effects Custom data link configurations as well.
