|
|A. The following information is applicable to
| SYSLEVEL WR06000, and WR06050.
|
| 1. 05/25/93 README Highlites:
| This file contains last minute information and corrections
| to publications which were discovered after the
| publications had been printed. It also contains technical
| information about restrictions, compatibility, and
| coexistence with other products.
|
| You can find the "README" file on diskette 1.
| or once installed you can select the README
| ICON from the Communications Manager/2 Folder to
| review this on-line.
|
| SOME OF THE TOPICS DISCUSSED ARE:
| Access to Extended Services Icons
| AS/400 PC Support Text Assist feature
| Compatibility and Coexistence
| Disk Space Requirements
| Enhancements
| Extended Services Database Manager
| Hints and Tips
| Installation
| Installing from CD-ROM or Optical Disks
| ISDN Users and NTS/2
| Optimal Error Reporting
| PNA
| Prerequisite Product Fixes
| Productivity Aids
| Programmatic Configuration
| Restrictions
| Upgrading from Extended Edition 1.3 or Extended Services
|
| 2. 05/25/93 Quick Installation
| The Communications Manager/2 package contains a
| Quick Installation Card, SX75008500. Reference this
| information to quickly install and setup
| 3270 or 5250 terminal emulation sessions.
|
| 3. 05/25/93 Installation information
| The Communications Manager/2 package contains
| the following publications to assist you when
| installing and configuring Communications Manager/2:
| Start Here, SC31610400
| Workstation Installation Guide, SC31616900
|
| 4. 05/25/93 LAPS or NTS/2 is required.
| If you plan to install Communications Manager/2
| on a Local Area Network (LAN), or if you are
| using integrated services digital network (ISDN)
| then LAN Adapter and Protocal Support (LAPS) is
| required. The level of LAPS shipped with
| Network Transport Services/2 (NTS/2)
| Version 1.0 or LAN Server Version 3.0
| is recommended; however Communications
| Manager also supports the levels of LAPS
| available with LAN Server Version 2.0 and Extended
| Services for OS/2.
| Reference: Communications Manager/2 Workstation
| Installation Guide Version 1.0, SC31616900
| under Upgrade Considerations.
|
|
| 5. 05/25/93 OS/2 BASE PREREQUISITE PRODUCT FIXES
| If you are using OS/2 2.0 with the Service Pak applied,
| OS/2 Base APAR PJ06671 should be applied.
|
| Otherwise:
|
| - The Communications Manager Setup ( CMSETUP )
| and Keyboard REMAP push buttons may not work and
| the CMSETUP graphic displays (METAFILES)
| may not be displayed. Unexpected return code
| from WMS (Window Management System) messages
| and other various messages are produced.
|
| - A possible system hang condition may occur
| after issuing the CMSETUP command when
| the following options are chosen: After
| issuing the CMSETUP command using
| Communications Manager/2, the
| COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER CONFIGURATION
| DEFINITION window appears. At this window
| a WORKSTATION CONNECTION TYPE and a FEATURE OR
| APPLICATION is entered. The error occurs here when
| the system clock appears and stops but the screen does
| not change and you cannot go any further.
|
|
|
| 6. 05/25/93 OTHER PREREQUISITE PRODUCT FIXES
|
| - ISDN users who are using NTS/2 must apply the fix for
| NTS/2 APAR IC04997.
|
| - Coexistence with PNA requires the application of
| the fix provided as a part of the PNA APAR IC04781.
| Without this fix, Communications Manager/2 will report
| a command syntax error.
|
| 7. 05/25/93 Corrupted or Missing Group Boxes, ICONs or Folders
| Use Communications Manager/2's CMSETUP command or
| select the SETUP ICON in the Communications Manager/2
| Folder, select OPTIONS, then RECREATE FOLDERS
| This rebuilds all group box, or folder
| entries for all features and functions installed
| on the workstation. If you have moved icons
| to other folders, they will be recreated in the
| Communications Manager/2 folder. If you deleted
| the folder it will be recreated.
|
| 8. 05/25/93 Lost or corrupted Communications Manager/2
| CONFIG.SYS entries.
| Use Communications Manager/2's CMSETUP command or
| select the SETUP ICON in the Communications Manager/2
| Folder, select INSTALL, then select the correct
| directory and configuration file to
| reinstall the same configuration. This will reset
| the CONFIG.SYS entries. This updates PATH, DPATH
| and LIBPATH statements in CONFIG.SYS. It will also
| add all necessary device drivers to support the default
| configuration and any installed additional functions.
| UPM and FFST/2 statements are only updated when
| executing CMSETUP from the diskette or
| diskette images.
|
|
| 9. 05/25/93 Reinstalling OS/2 when Communications Manager/2
| is already installed
| OS/2 install will not retain all Communications
| Manager/2 CONFIG.SYS entries.
| The PATH, DPATH, and LIBPATH will be retained.
| The device drivers will NOT be retained,
| but will be commented out (REM ...).
| Reinstalling the same Communications Manager/2
| configuration will restore CONFIG.SYS, etc.
| UPM and FFST/2 statements are only updated when
| executing CMSETUP from the diskette or
| diskette images.
|
|10. 05/25/93 FFST/2 and UPM
| If FFST/2 SYSLEVEL says a newer version of FFST is on
| the workstation Communications Manager/2 1.0 will NOT
| install FFST/2. If UPM (User Profile Management) SYSLEVEL
| says a newer version of UPM is on the workstation
| Communications Manager/2 1.0 will NOT install UPM.
| Communications Manager/2 will use the newer
| versions that are already installed.
|
|11. 05/25/93 XCOPY or COPY *.* of files from an Installed
| Communications Manager/2 will fail.
| Communications Manager/2 must be installed
| using Communications Manager/2's CMSETUP command or
| selecting the SETUP ICON in Communications Manager/2's
| Folder, selecting INSTALL.
| You can install Communications Manager from a
| redirected drive. Reference Communications
| Manager/2 Network Administration and
| Subsystem Management Guide, SC31616800,
| under "Communications Manager Configuration
| Methods" in Chapter 1.
|
|
|12. 05/25/93 .CF2 file cannot be found when upgrading from
| Communications Manager Extended Services
| This can occur during CMSETUP processing when the
| diskette containing the ES 1.0 Communications Manager
| configuration does not contain the .CF2 file. To
| upgrade you will need the following Communications
| Manager ES 1.0 files from the following ES 1.0
| directories
| CMLIB <your>.cfg
| CMLIB APPN <your>.CF2
| CMLIB APPN <your>.NDF
| CMLIB APPN <your>.SEC
|
| This can also occur when trying to use an
| ES 1.0 Communications Manager
| configuration to upgrade to Communications
| Manager/2 1.0, but install Communications Manager/2 1.0
| on a different drive than where ES 1.0 Communications
| Manager was installed. Communications Manager/2 1.0
| requires that all the configuration files be located
| in the same directory on the ES 1.0 Communications
| Manager, copy:
| CMLIB APPN <your>.CF2 to CMLIB *.*
| CMLIB APPN <your>.NDF to CMLIB *.*
| CMLIB APPN <your>.SEC to CMLIB *.*
| This is not a problem when installing Communications
| Manager/2 1.0 on the same drive over ES 1.0 Communications
| Manager, because Communications Manager/2 1.0 Install
| collapses the ES 1.0 Communications Manager APPN
| sub-directory into CMLIB.
|
|B. The following information is applicable only to
| SYSLEVEL WR06000.
|
| 1. 05/25/93 Installing Communications Manager/2 with
| less than 32K free on the boot drive.
| This will return you to the command line
| with no messages displayed and no messages
| logged. You will need to free enough space
| on the boot drive for Communications
| Manager to install. Reference the README file on
| diskette one for more information.
|
| 2. 05/25/93 Missing DLL when attempting to use REINST to
| add or remove ES 1.0 Database Manager.
| The update to REINST was not installed.
| This update is only applied when you install
| a configuration. Therefore, running CMSETUP from
| diskette, selecting Close on the main window,
| selecting YES to install the setup code, will NOT
| install the REINST update. The REINST update will be
| installed when the first configuration is installed.
| Consult the README on diskette 1 under
| "Extended Services Database Manager".
