README.ADM 2/14/91
This README file lists enhancements and changes to the files on the
Office Program diskette(s). The information in this file pertains
specifically to the System Administrator. A new System
Administrator's Guide is shipped with Office 3.01 that documents
the necessary enhancements.
Each enhancement or change is listed by program name and feature.
CHKOFF: Password
A new Password feature has been added to CHKOFF. Once a password
has been setup with the GENOFF startup option /pw, CHKOFF prompts
you to enter a password before executing. If an incorrect password
is entered, CHKOFF displays the following error message "ERROR:
Invalid Password."
CHKOFF: System Administration Menu
Selected options are now saved when you press Enter to exit the
CHKOFF menu or when CHKOFF is run. No options are saved when you
press Exit (F7).
GENOFF: Error Handling
GENOFF now warns you if a field is larger than the display portion
of the field in the Notebook. A record that is too large is
dropped and a warning is given.
GENOFF: Extended Characters
GENOFF now recognizes extended characters 32-255 in the Notebook
information files. If GENOFF encounters characters 156, 158-159,
and/or 168-254 (excluding 225) GENOFF displays the following
message: "Characters found that could be changed when moved to
other platforms."
GENOFF: Login ID
To accommodate Banyan users, the maximum length for the Network
Login ID has been changed from 48 to 63 characters.
GENOFF: Multiple Hosts
In a multiple host domain, GENOFF now copies most files between
hosts rather than building new files on each host. This reduces
the time required to run GENOFF. The files that are now copied are
USERID.FIL, RESOURCE.FIL, HOST_XXX.?ID, and the files in the GRP
and ALS directories.
GENOFF: Non-Delivery Hosts
For users and resources located on non-delivery hosts, GENOFF now
only requires the Host Name and UserID or ResourceID field to be
completed in the USERID.NB or RESOURCE.NB.
GENOFF: Password
A new Password feature has been added to GENOFF. Once a password
has been setup with the GENOFF startup option /pw, GENOFF prompts
you to enter a password before executing.
GENOFF: USERID.NB
GENOFF has added four new fields: Last Name, Given Name, Initials,
and Generation. These fields replace the Full Name field in
previous versions of the USERID.NB file.
GENUNB: GENUNB
GENUNB now extracts user information from the Banyan Directory
Assistance (similar to the Novell Bindery). For StreetTalk users
who have a nickname, the nickname will be added to the USERID.NB as
the Office UserID.
GENUNB: Startup Options
The startup option /s has been added to GENUNB. This option allows
GENUNB to scan the Banyan Directory Assistance using DOS wildcard
characters.
GENUNB: Startup Options
The startup option /nt has been added to GENUNB. This option
allows you to specify the network type you are using. Currently,
the only network types that GENUNB recognizes are Novell, Banyan,
and StreetTalk.
SCHEDULER CONVERT: Cancel
Scheduler Convert now supports Cancel (F1) and Exit (F7) from an
initial prompt.
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION DATABASE: File ID
The Administration Database now verifies uniqueness of the user
File ID field on a per-host basis.
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION DATABASE: Update
If you try to access the 3.0 Office Administration Database using
the new 3.01 Office System Administration menus, an error message
is displayed telling you to access the new version of the database.
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION DATABASE: USERID.NB
The system administration databases have been changed to match the
format of the new 3.01 USERID.NB. The export from the database to
the RESOURCE.NB has also been changed to match the changes to the
default field sizes.
