ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
SelectPak IP07003
IBM PTF for U.S. English - IP07003
June 1993
IBM LAN Server 3.0
DOS LAN Requester and
DOS LAN Requester Windows
This SelectPak contains fixes to OS/2 LAN Server 3.0 - DLR component. Two
methods for updating the DLR client systems are described below. Either method
may be used for a given client system.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Affected SYSLEVEL Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
SYSLEVEL.DLR PC/DOS LAN Requester
Note: Updates to SYSLEVEL.DLR are reflected in the output of the SYSLEVEL
command at the (code) Server. DLR Service Level is displayed at the DOS client
when DLR is started.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
1. Unzip the SelectPak container file, IP07003, using a form of PKUNZIP. The
following files should be present in a single directory:
File Name Description
IP07003.CMD REXX SelectPak Installation Aid
IP07003.BAT Installation Aid for DOS client
IP07003.INF This Information File
IP07003.SPK A PKZIP file containing the fixes
SELPAK.MSG Language Dependent Message file used by IP07003.CMD
SPKLOCK.ZIP A Locked File replacement tool
2. Ensure that the SelectPak Files are in the current directory - on disk or
diskette.
3. Replace the DLR files on each client using:
Method One Clients obtain service from updated Servers,
Method Two Clients receive service directly from SelectPak.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Method One ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This technique will update DLR files on LAN Server 3.0 servers providing DOS
LAN Requester and DOS Image Support are present. The DLR files located in
\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\NET can subsequently be copied to DLR workstations using
UPGRDLR.BAT.
For detailed information see Network Administrators Reference Volume 1
"Upgrading DOS LAN Requester".
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.1. Upgrade the Server ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Begin SelectPak installation by entering the OS/2 command "IP07003" and
responding to the prompts provided or by entering "IP07003" with input
parameters.
"IP07003 ?" may be entered at the OS/2 command prompt to display more help
information and command line parameters.
Completion of the SelectPak install process is indicated including instructions
to reboot when Locked Files are encountered.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.2. Make UPGRDLR.BAT Public ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: This may have previously been done, perhaps during LAN install.
o Define an alias for \IBMLAN\DOSLAN\NET
o Set up the Access Control Profile for the alias as Read (R) access
o Define UPGRDLR.BAT as a public DOS application using the Create DOS
Application panel.
o Using the Manage DOS Applications panel:
- Make a working directory for UPGRDLR.
- Select the User IDs (or All) that are to have access to UPGRDLR.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.3. Upgrading DLR Clients ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
o Type "Net Start" and press Enter
o Type "Initfsi" and press Enter
o Type "Net" and press Enter
o Log onto the Domain
o Select the upgrade application from the Served Applications panel.
o Restart the workstation after all disk activity has stopped.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Method Two ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
IP07003.BAT has been provided to upgrade DLR directly. From the directory where
the SelectPak files reside, enter 'IP07003' followed by the path where DLR
exists. The current directory may be from any media (diskette, disk. etc.)
For example:
From the DOS "A:\>" prompt, type:
"IP07003 C:\DOSLAN"
Note: This tool does not include any automatic file back up.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Installing Multiple SelectPaks ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Additional SelectPaks can be installed after successful completion of this
install and before reboot. Consideration should be given to the disk space
required for potential Locked Files.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Cleanup ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
All SelectPak files (originally in IP07003.ZIP) and files backed up for the
SelectPak may be erased when the updated system is working properly.
Note: PLEASE DON'T ERASE THE LOG FILE, IP07003.LOG, LOCATED IN \OS2\INSTALL.
The log file serves as a history of installed fixes and will be useful should
problems occur.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Backout ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If backup copies of the original product files are available, move them over
the files that the SelectPak(s) changed. If the Installation Aid was chosen to
perform the backup, the changed files will be located in the backup directory
specified.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Locked File Handling ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If the Installation Aid encounters files which are Locked, the replacement
files are temporarily stored on hard disk and Config.Sys is altered to invoke
the Locked File Replacement tool during the next boot cycle.
Locked File updates are not completed until the system is rebooted and
Config.Sys is restored to its pre-install content. The original Config.Sys can
be found saved as Config.nnn where "nnn' guarantees a unique name.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Locked Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Sometimes it is essential that programs own (become the master of) system
resources such as Memory Blocks, Communication Ports, and Files. When a
program stakes claim to a file, that file is said to be Locked; no other
program is allowed to alter (replace or write to) it until the owning program
explicitly removes the lock.
.DLL Files can become Locked by residing in a directory that is included in the
LIBPATH string of CONFIG.SYS.
For example, NETAPI.DLL can be locked when \MUGLIB\DLL exists in the LIBPATH of
CONFIG.SYS.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> EXAMPLES ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To preset the base drive, target drive, and source path, and be prompted for
backup and a chance to verify or change the input:
IP07003 /B:C /T:C /S:\Service\IP07003
To preset the base drive as C, use the default backup path of /DLR_BAK and be
prompted for the remaining input:
IP07003 /B:C /K:1
To install the SelectPak from the A disk (after copying the MSG file to the
current directory), with no backup, and be prompted for remaining input:
IP07003 /S:A: /K:0
To install the SelectPak in an unattended environment:
IP07003 /B:C /S:\Service /T:C /K:\cmlib\backup /V:1
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> SelectPak Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Ensure that the SelectPak files are in the current directory. Typing "DIR"
with no path parameters should display the.
NOTE: SELPAK.MSG file is used by more than one SelectPak. Unzipping multiple
SelectPaks into the same temporary directory may cause a message that this file
already exists.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> PKUNZIP ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
PKUNZIP2.EXE is required by the Installation Aid (IP07003.CMD.) If it has been
erased, replace it by copying it from Diskette 1 of either Extended Services
1.0 or LAN Services 2.0 to a directory in the PATH.
Type "PKUNZIP2 IP07003" on an OS/2 command line to unzip the files in
IP07003.ZIP to the current directory.
To determine what files are being shipped as fixes, use PKUNZIP2 with the -v
option to view the IP07003.SPK content. The entire syntax of the PKUNZIP2
command is presented if PKUNZIP2 is typed with no parameters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Things that Changed ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The list below describes the fixes that are included with this SelectPak for
the DOS LAN Requester component of IBM OS/2 LAN Server 3.0. The APAR numbers
for problems that are corrected by this Select Pak are listed numerically.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1. DOS LAN Requester ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The following list describes APARs for the DOS LAN Requester component that are
fixed by this Select Pak.

external resources. Reported error is CW19461.
o IC05051
An error occurs at logon when connecting to a logon assignment fileset that
is the same as the home directory assignment. The result is either a NET229
error, if logging on from the command line, or a NET9481E error, if logging
on from the DLR full-screen interface.
o IC05053
If using opportunistic locking (bit 'i' is set to 1 in the /WRK: parameter
for NET START), a lock violation is displayed on some lock and unlock
requests.
o IC05055
A read/write access violation occurs on a file being accessed simultaneously
by multiple users with some LAN applications.
o IC05096
A CD-ROM drive is being interpreted as a network drive, causing the
workstation to hang.
o IC05118
When FIXINI.EXE is run, if the DOSLAN.INI file contains no character past the
