TITLE: NetWare for SAA and PC Support
DOCUMENT ID#: TB.S.P322
DATE: June 12, 1992
PRODUCT: NetWare for SAA
PRODUCT VERSION: 1.2
SUPERSEDES: PTF 316
SYMPTOM: Unable to Connect three (3) AS/400s
COMM ERROR 001 00000018
error on start 32
PCS6546 0A 0001 000000A1 00
Workstation Hang
PTF 322 will be available in the NetWire Library as AS400.ZIP
ISSUE/PROBLEM
The following problems all occur exclusively when accessing an AS/400 via
PC Support:
1. In addition to the problems corrected by PTF 316, support for the
connection of three AS/400s on a Token Ring network did not work because
the third Mac address over laid the second Mac address.
2. If A is pressed to Add a Student when using Schools Administrative
Student Information (SASI), from Macro Educational Systems, the
workstation locks with COMM ERROR 001 00000018.
3. RTRMAP from IBM, maps requests from "Extended DOS PC Support" functions
into requests recognized by the NetWare Router for AS/400 PC Support. When
RVMRTR is used to remove the Router it frees the memory that RTRMAP was
using but does not display a message.
Note: RTRMAP is currently available as a patch from IBM
PTF SF09653 for Version 2 Release 1
PTF SF09654 for Version 2 Release 1.1
4. When running Remote SQL (RMTSQL) from IBM with PC Support Extended, it
fails with "error on start 32"
5. After starting Workstation Function (WSF) from PC Support Extended,
after signing on at the Sign On Screen, the monitor goes blank with the
exception of two lines at the bottom:
PCS6546 0A 0001 000000A1 00
The second line is the WSF status line
6. When the Remove PC Support (RMVPCS) command is used to release the
memory of selected PC Support Functions, it does not remove the NetWare
Router for AS/400 PC Support.
7. If the AS/400 system name is less than 8 characters, when invoking
Rochester Software Connection's ShowCase software the Workstation hangs
when the system is selected.
SOLUTION
1. The ITRNPS.NLM included with this PTF adds support for the connection of
three (3) AS\400s.
2. The PTF corrects the problem.
3, 4, 5. & 6. Additional APPC verb support has been added.
7. The PTF modifies the recognition of the system name.
TO USE THIS PTF
CSINSTAL must be used to install this PTF. Version 1.2 of NetWare for SAA
must have been installed before this PTF is installed.
To install this PTF
1. If the communications executive is active do a CSDOWN from the CS>
prompt. Then unload the communications executive by typing "UNLOAD
COMMEXEC" from the server (:) prompt.
2. At your server (:) prompt load CSINSTAL from a disk containing this
PTF. For example, if you use your a: drive type "load a:csinstal".
3. Choose to "Update NetWare Communication Service" (the second option).
4. Confirm that NetWare for SAA should be updated.
5. Be patient (updating may take awhile--it took about 10 minutes on a
test machine).
6. When the update completes, exit CSINSTAL.
The file dates will change to the current date (except for ITRNPS.NLM which
will change to a "different" date).
7. If three AS400s are connected configure CONFIG.PCS as in the example
below. Note that the TRLI parameters contain the three system names,
followed by their local adapter addresses contained within the line
configuration of the associated AS/400.
