INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-------------------------
To start the Presentation Manager Select Pak install, type DDCSFIX on a
command line, select ACTION from the action bar and then SERVICE from
the pull down menu.
If you have just finished installing IBM DB2/2, IBM DB2/2 Service Pak WR07015
(syslevel WR07015), IBM refresh code level v1.0.1, IBM Lan Server/Requester,
or IBM CM/2, please shutdown and reboot your system before installing the DDCS
Select Pak.
This means that you will have to reboot twice, once after the installation
of these products to process any locked files, and a second time before
using the Select Pak to process some remaining locked files.
CID INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------------
For DDCS/2 CID Select Pak install, please use the sample response file
DDCSFIX.RSP provided on diskette 1. This file can be modified to fit your
installation needs.
NOTE: The keywords found in DDCSFIX.RSP are the ONLY supported CID keywords
in this version of the CID install program.
The Select Pak CID install program (DDCSCID.EXE) uses the same syntax as the
DDCS/2 CID install program. Refer to the DB2/2 Installation Guide for a
description.
For a description of the CID install key words, refer to Appendix B of the
DB2/2 Installation Guide.
NOTE: The CID keyword DDCSUpdateType can only be equal to 1, which specifies
to install the Select Pak. No other values are supported.

WHAT'S CHANGED - APAR DESCRIPTIONS
----------------------------------
The following changes have been made as a direct result of customer feedback.
The fixes contained in this Select Pak are fixes that have gone into the
product since Service Pak WR07016 was shipped.
APAR JR07377 - DDCS/2 SQLCODE mapping
When DDCS/2 performed SQLCODE mapping on errors with long message tokens,
the first character of the SQLERRP field was corrupted. This has been
corrected to return the correct code.
APAR JR07710 - Disabling NetBIOS
This fix allows DB2/2 to disable the NetBIOS protocol initialization. This
will conserve system resources and NetBIOS subsystem resources for those DB2
users that are not using the DB2 NetBIOS protocol.
To specify this option, the user should set the SQLNADPT environment variable
(either from the command line or in config.sys) to "NONE" before issuing a
STARTDBM.
i.e. SET SQLNADPT=NONE
The Select Pak should be installed on all work stations on which it is desirable
to disable the NetBIOS protocol.
With this fix, a NetBIOS client which attempts to connect to a "NetBIOS
disabled" server will receive an SQLCODE -30080 '0014' (Server is not ready).
A "NetBIOS disabled" client which tries to access a sever via NetBIOS will
receive an SQLCODE 30080 'FFFF' (Local DB2/2 NetBIOS protocol has not been
initialized correctly).
APAR JR07759 - DOS\Windows client connecting to AS/400
When a DOS\Windows client accessing an AS/400 system through DDCS tried
to insert null data into a fixed char column, an SQLCODE 30020N,
reason code 220A was returned. The insert will now be performed
correctly.
