Installation Instructions:
1. Install this patch ONLY IF you have NetWare for SAA 1.3B or have the
PTF 410 series installed.
2. Put SAA004.EXE and SAA002.EXE into separate empty directories on a
hard disk or network drive.
3. Unzip SAA004.EXE by entering the following command:
SAA004 <Enter>
4. Copy the files in SAA004 onto a 3.5" high density floppy diskette.
5. Unzip SAA002.EXE by entering the following command:
SAA002 <Enter>
6. Copy the files in PTF SAA002 onto another high density floppy
diskette by using the following command (you must copy the contents
of the subdirectories):
> XCOPY *.* /S A:
7. Put the SAA004 diskette into drive A: of the NetWare for SAA server.
8. Do a CSDOWN so that COMMEXEC will not be running.
9. LOAD Install.
10. Select Product Options.
11. Press <Insert>.
12. Select server to update.
13. Press <Enter>.
14. Wait for the update to complete.
15. Press <Esc>. You should see NWSAA 1.3.52.
16. Remove the SAA004 diskette and insert the SAA002 diskette.
17. Press <Insert>.
18. Select the server to update.
19. Press <Enter>.
20. Wait for the update to complete.
21. Press <Esc>. You should see COMMEXEC 1.3.45
22. Reload COMMEXEC.
23. Reload the profile.
24. Copy the new STRNRTR.EXE over any copies that may exist outside of
SYS:\SYSTEM\NWSAA\AS400
25. Read SAACOPY.TXT for new instructions on the use of SAACOPY.
Patch History:
SAA004 supersedes both SAA001 and SAA003. SAA001 contained CSMPX.NLM
dated 02-17-94, 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SAA001 and SAA002 superseded PTF 443, PTF 435, and PTF 438.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.
Solution Specifics:
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.
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.
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".
WITH SNALINKS
Even though SNALINKS was configured for auto connect, the connection
did not come back up automatically after a link was downed.
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.
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.
