*****************************************************
* SMTP for NetWare Global MHS *
* Upgrade 1.0b Instructions *
* October 6, 1993 *
*****************************************************
UPGRADING FROM versions 1.0 to 1.0b
------------------
This file describes how to upgrade SMTP for NetWare Global MHS
versions 1.0 to 1.0b.
This upgrade provides the following fixes and enhancements:
* Expiration-Date support.
* Non-delivery information will be sent to senders for all messages where
the recipient is not known.
* Message-Id conversion from SMTP to SMF and vice-versa.
* Full support for the SMTP directive to address the INTERNET users from
SMF70 or SMF71 applications.
* Attachment (Binary) translation times are improved.
(UUENCODE/UUDECODE), Auto-UUDECODE features are faster than in v1.0..
* Socket (buffered) IO improved outbound delivery.
* DNS Resolver Fix. If there are multiple MX records, the outbound will
try to deliver one after the other in the preference order until it
succeeds.
NOTE: This patch is designed to upgrade SMTP version 1.0
to SMTP version 1.0b. If you have an NGMSMTP.NLM which
is not dated '2-16-93', this upgrade procedure will not
work. To determine your current SMTP version, type 'MODULES'
at the server console prompt and verify that the version
number for 'NGMSMTP.NLM' is 1.0. If you have received any
patch release releases, 1.0b beta releases or special
SMTP releases, you will need to contact your local Novell
representative to receive instructions on how to upgrade
your system. This patch process will not change the version
number of SMTP as it is reported from within NetWare's
INSTALL/PRODUCT OPTIONS listing. INSTALL will continue to
display the original SMTP version number.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO FIRST?
------------------
Use this upgrade to modify an existing SMTP for NetWare Global MHS
installation. Before you install this upgrade, verify that the original
SMTP for NetWare Global MHS version 1.0 is installed on your server. For
information on installing 1.0, refer to your "NetWare Global Messaging
SMTP Protocol Module Administrator's Guide", part number 100-001202-001.
WHICH FILES ARE UPGRADED?
------------------
The following files are modified during the SMTP 1.0b upgrade procedure.
1. NGMSMTP.NLM
2. SMTPCON.NLM
3. README.TXT
This upgrade does not change the serial number and maximum number
of licensed users for your installation.
UPGRADING YOUR SERVER
------------------
1. Login to your NGM server as supervisor.
2. Verify that your server has at least 2 MB of free hard disk space.
This is the recommended minimum required to perform this upgrade.
3. The contents of the SMTP for NetWare Global MHS patch is as follows:
1. README.SMT
2. PATCH.EXE
3. PATCHSMT.BAT
4. SMTP1B.RTP
4. Copy the files 'PATCH.EXE', 'PATCHSMT.BAT', and 'SMTP1B.RTP'
to the root NGM directory. The default directory is: <drive:>\NGM.
Sample: COPY PATCH.EXE <drive:>\NGM\*.*
COPY PATCHSMT.BAT <drive:>\NGM\*.*
COPY SMTP1B.RTP <drive:>\NGM\*.*
If you installed NetWare Global MHS in a different
directory, be sure to copy the upgrade files to that directory.
For example, if NetWare Global MHS is installed in the
directory <drive:>\PUBLIC\MAIL\NGM\, enter the following:
Sample: COPY PATCH.EXE <drive:>\PUBLIC\MAIL\NGM\*.*
COPY PATCHSMT.BAT <drive:>\PUBLIC\MAIL\NGM\*.*
COPY SMTP1B.RTP <drive:>\PUBLIC\MAIL\NGM\*.*
The patch program searches all subdirectories to find the
appropriate files to upgrade. Therefore, it is very important
to start the upgrade procedure from the correct directory.
5. Unload SMTP at the server console and make a backup copy of your
.\NGM\SMTP directory structure as well as .\NGM\BIN\NGMSMTP.NLM
and .\NGM\BIN\SMTPCON.NLM.
IMPORTANT: Do not save backup files under the same directory
structure in which you installed NGM or SMTP. The
upgrade procedure will update the first file found
within the directory structure. Therefore, if this
first file happens to be a backup file, the correct
system file will not be upgraded.
6. Change to the root NGM directory (where you copied the upgrade files).
Enter:
PATCHSMT
The patch program upgrades all appropriate files. The patch
program also retains a log of the results in a file called
'RESULTS.TXT'. To verify your upgrade installation, view the
contents of 'RESULTS.TXT' after the upgrade is complete.
7. The patch process will place the new README.TXT file in the
.\NGM\SMTP directory in order to avoid overwriting other
README.TXT files.
8. During the patch process a BACKUP directory is created under
the directory from which you ran 'PATCHSMT'. (Verify that no
previous BACKUP directory exists). The BACKUP directory contains
all files that were changed and a file called 'UNPATCH.BAK'. If
you want to undo your upgrade and return your installation to its
previous state, perform the following procedure.
o To restore your system, change to the BACKUP directory,
copy 'UNPATCH.BAK' to 'UNPATCH.BAT', and type "UNPATCH".
This file will delete all new files in the appropriate
directories and replace them with the files which originally
existed.
o Verify the original files have been correctly re-installed
and delete the BACKUP directory before attempting to upgrade
the system for a second time.
o Do NOT delete the BACKUP directory until you are
satisfied that the upgrade procedure was successful.
