APAR IC07956 for AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA V1.00
------------------------------------------------
Problem description
-------------------
AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA V1.00 as shipped does not support LAN
NetView Management Utilities for OS/2 (LMU/2) or Distributed Console
Access Facility (DCAF). You must apply this fix if you wish to run
these programs over SNA using NetBEUI over SNA 1.00.
Without this fix, AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA V1.00
- will not allow multiple processes on a machine to add the same
group name.
- will not allow a process to call from a name that a different
process had added (this should not be allowed, but some programs
depend on it).
- has timing windows where data sent using very short-lived sessions
could be lost.
- will not accept status queries with very large buffer sizes.
Fix installation
----------------
1. Stop any applications using AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA.
2. Stop AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA.
3. Copy ANYNETB.DLL over your current copy of ANYNETB.DLL
(usually located the \NBSNA\ sub-directory). Don't forget
to back up your original copy of ANYNETB.DLL before installing
this fix.
4. Restart AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA.
Additional considerations
-------------------------
1. Using LMU/2 with NetBEUI over SNA:
NetBEUI over SNA has been tested with LMU/2 version 1.0.
By default, LMU/2 uses LAN adapter number 0. If you wish to
run LMU/2 over SNA you must either:
- Configure NetBEUI over SNA to use adapter 0 for SNA (see the
NetBEUI over SNA documentation); or
- Configure LMU/2 to use whatever adapter number you have
configured for SNA in NetBEUI over SNA.
Instructions for changing adapter numbers for LMU/2 can be found
in the online LMU/2 User's Guide in sections 2.10.2.2 through
2.10.2.4, "Creating the LMU.INI File", "Sample control file",
and "LMU control file variables". You must change or add
the optional parameter "LAN_ADAPTER" in the control file.
After making this change, you must run LINI.EXE to create the
LMU.INI file. Reboot the system to pick up the changes.
2. Using DCAF with NetBEUI over SNA:
NetBEUI over SNA has been tested with DCAF version 1.21, with
the following change: the DCAF gateway and Lan Directory
must be configured to not start until after NetBEUI over SNA has been
started (normally, they are started during boot). To make this change
on the DCAF gateway and Lan Directory machines (which may be the
same machine):
1. Delete or move the DCAF Gateway icon from the DCAF folder
2. Delete or move the DCAF LAN Directory icon from the DCAF folder
3. In STARTUP.CMD on the gateway machine, after NetBEUI over SNA is
started, add the line:
START EQNGWOPN
4. In STARTUP.CMD on the Lan Directory machine, after NetBEUI over
SNA is started, add the line:
START EQNGWDIR
By default, DCAF uses LAN adapter number 0. If you wish to
run DCAF over SNA you must either:
- Configure NetBEUI over SNA to use adapter 0 for SNA (see the
NetBEUI over SNA documentation); or
- Configure DCAF to use whatever adapter number you have
configured for SNA in NetBEUI over SNA.
