program to ask you if you want the files replaced. Answer OK.
Terms and Conditions 3
May 28, 1997 - Warp Spooler FixPak XR_WSPL
RELOCATED OS/2 FILE SUPPORT
This FixPak will service directories based on the location of
supported SYSLEVEL.OS2 files. Please check your system to make sure
extra copies of these files are not located in directories other than:
\OS2\INSTALL\SYSLEVEL.OS2 on the boot drive of your OS/2 partition(s)
If additional copies of these files are found in other locations on
your hard disk then CSF will try to service files as follows:
For SYSLEVEL.OS2
Relocated OS/2 file support 4
May 28, 1997 - Warp Spooler FixPak XR_WSPL
..\..\ all files in a directory two levels above (toward the root).
This should be the root directory of your boot drive.
..\* all files in a directory one level above (toward the root) and
all subdirectories below. This should be the OS2 directory and
subdirectories.
Relocated OS/2 file support 5
May 28, 1997 - Warp Spooler FixPak XR_WSPL
INSTALLATION PROCESS
Before installing any FixPak, run CHKDSK /F against
all drives on your system to correct any file system errors that might be
present. You cannot do this while OS/2 is active. You must shut down and
run CHKDSK by one of the following methods:
~ Boot from your Installation and DISK 1 diskettes
you used to install OS/2 with.
If your file system is HPFS, then put the diskette with CHKDSK and
UHPFS.DLL on it in your A: drive before issuing the CHKDSK command.
~ Boot from the Utilities disk you created via the "Create Utility
Diskettes" icon in the System Setup folder.
~ Boot from a different OS/2 partition.
To Install this Spooler FixPak use one of the following methods:
METHOD 1: INSTALL FROM BOOTED OS/2 PARTITION.
This method allows you to select the products (partitions) to be serviced.
This is the method you should use if you have more than one OS/2 partition
and want to control which one is serviced.
Note: You can use a diskette drive other than A: with this method. If your
3.5" diskette drive is B:, use B: where A: is mentioned in the following steps.
(this method only).
1. Insert CSF DISK Diskette 1 in drive A.
2. Open an OS/2 window or full-screen session.
3. Type A:\SERVICE and press the Enter key.
Note: You culd also use the "Drives" object for A: and double click on the
"SERVICE.EXE" Icon to start the install.
4. Follow the displayed instructions. When prompted to insert Corrective
Service Diskette 1 (not CSF DISK Diskette 1), place Spooler FixPak XR_WSPL
Corrective Service Diskette 1 in drive A.
Note: It can take a considerable length of time for the Corrective Service
Facility to scan your hard disk for serviceable files. In some cases, it has
taken as long as 40 minutes. Please be patient and allow this process to
complete.
5. If this is the first OS/2 Warp FixPak you have applied to
this system, then enter the path to the ARCHIVE directory
where a copy of replaced files
will be stored (for example, D:\ARCHIVE).
Installation Process 6
May 28, 1997 - Warp Spooler FixPak XR_WSPL
Note: This ARCHIVE directory is not related to the ARCHIVES directory
built into OS/2 Warp 3.0. Please specify a different path.
You must specify a different ARCHIVE directory for each product to
be serviced.
If this is not the first OS/2 Warp FixPak, then enter the path
to the BACKUP directory
where a copy of replaced files will be stored (for example,
D:\BACKUP).
Note: You must specify a different BACKUP directory for each product to
be serviced.
For either case, make sure there is sufficient space available on the
drive you specify. Even though these files are kept in compressed
(PACK2) format, they require between 2 and 3 MB of disk space.
6. Click on "OK".
7. You will see an "Application in use" dialog box showing a list of
locked files that cannot be serviced while the system is running.
You are given two choices - to Continue or Reboot. Select
Continue.
8. During the installation process you might see messages about Archiving,
Updating and Deferring service.
~ Archiving saves a compressed copy of the original file in the
ARCHIVE or BACKUP path you specified. This occurs only if you
apply service to the OS/2 partition you are booted from.
~ Updating means the original files are replaced with the new
ones from this FixPak.
~ Deferring service means the file to be updated is currently in use
by the system and cannot be updated. The new files from the FixPak
are placed in unpacked format
in the \OS2\INSTALL\IBMCSFLK\FIX directory on your Warp
boot drive. They are processed by the locked file device
driver during reboot after you shut down the system.
9. Select NO for a redisplay of the "Product List" after
the first part of the FixPak application process has completed if this
message is displayed.
10. Click Cancel and Exit to close the Corrective Service Facility window
if necessary.
11. Shut down and reboot your system.
You will see the following during reboot of the system
if you applied service to the
OS/2 partition you were booted from.
Installation Process 7
May 28, 1997 - Warp Spooler FixPak XR_WSPL
The locked file driver is loaded.
Processing locked files
Processing complete
The system might then do an automatic reboot. In some cases, it might
do an additional reboot.
METHOD 2: BOOT FROM CORRECTIVE SERVICE DISK 1.
This method does not prompt the user for any information. No interaction with
the user takes place other than requests to put the next diskette in drive A.
All serviceable partitions on your system will be updated automatically. Be
especially careful of extra SYSLEVEL.OS2 or SYSLEVEL.MPM files when using
this method because they can cause CSF to apply service to directories you do
not want serviced.
1. Shut down your OS/2 system.
2. Insert CSF DISK Diskette 1 in drive A.
3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to boot the disk in drive A.
Service will be applied to ALL partitions that contain a version of OS/2
that is supported by this FixPak. See the section "FixPak Corrective
Service Notes" for the CSD levels this FixPak applies to.
Note: It can take a considerable length of time for the Corrective Service
Facility to scan your hard disk for serviceable files. In some cases it has
taken as long as 40 minutes. Please be patient and allow this process to
complete.
ADDITIONAL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FACILITY INFORMATION
Additional information on the Corrective Service Facility is available
from the README.INF file on the first Corrective Service
Facility disk. To view this file, place CSF disk 1 in drive A and enter
VIEW A:\README.INF.
Installation Process 8
May 28, 1997 - Warp Spooler FixPak XR_WSPL
CSD LEVEL OF SYSLEVEL.OS2
The Current CSD level for the "IBM OS/2 Base Operating System" will
not be changed by installation of this FixPak even though the
SERVICE.LOG file states it will. This FixPak is not a Service Level
change. It upgrades the existing service level (XR_300n); therefore
the SYSLEVEL is not changed. All fix information is recorded in the
SERVICE.LOG file.
Look at the file
\OS2\INSTALL\SERVICE.LOG
for information relating to the installation of this (or any) FixPak
on your system. To see the current level and other related
information use the SYSLEVEL command.
Look at the README.1ST file on the first FixPak disk of any FixPak for the
"Build Level: n.nnn" line.
