Installation Instructions: 

1. Do not copy these files to the NetWare for SAA Services Manager
directory.  Instead, create a temporary directory to store these files or
copy them to a diskette (do not write protect).  

2. Ensure that NetWare for SAA Services Manager is not running and that at
least 500K of DOS memory is available.

3. From the DOS prompt, switch to the directory that contains the patch
files and type "SSMPATCH".  This runs the PTF batch file.  This batch file
assumes NetWare for SAA Services Manager is in your C:\NWSAAMGR directory
and NMS is in your C:\NMS directory.  If these applications are in
different directories, enter the directory names as parameters.  If
parameters are used, both parameters are required.  For example, if NetWare
for SAA Services Manager is in the C:\SSMDIR directory and NMS is in the
C:\NMSDIR directory, use the command "SSMPATCH C:\SSMDIR C:\NMSDIR".

4. Integrate the NetWare for SAA alarms with NMS.  This will reset all
Communication Executive and NetWare for SAA alarm dispositions.
 A. For NMS (NetWare Management System) 1.15, use the Tools > SNMP Alarm
Integrator option on the NMS Menu Bar to integrate the CE.MIB and SNA.MIB
files replaced with the patch.

 B. For NMS 2.0, use the Tools > SNMP MIB Compiler option on the NMS Menu
Bar to integrate the CE.MIB and SNA.MIB files.

 This will reset the NMS 2.0 alarm dispositions for ALL alarm
 MIBs in the SNMPMIBS\CURRENT subdirectory of NMS including the
 Communication Executive and NetWare for SAA alarms AND others.

5. If NetWare for SAA Services Manager support for HostPrint was installed
prior to this PTF, reinstall the support for HostPrint from the
distribution disks.  During the NetWare for SAA Services Manager
installation program, select the option to install a service.  A message
will warn you that support for HostPrint is already installed.  Continue
the installation process and reinstall support for HostPrint.
 
 
Patch History: 

This is the first PTF for NetWare for SAA Services Manager 2.0 


Solution Specifics: 

1. Closing the Trace window did not stop the active trace and close the
specified trace file.

2. Double-clicking information in the User Information window could
disconnect the related server.

3. Whenever a server being managed is disconnected and then reconnected,
all unwarned users received a potential conflict warning.  With this PTF,
current users no longer receive the warning.

4. Selecting host link statistical attributes when the Reset Attributes
check box is checked caused an "Invalid Object" message to appear.

5. Clicking an incorrectly highlighted icon on the Server Status window
caused Services Manager to terminate with a no memory message.

6. NetWare Runtime users could not access the RunTime connection already
used by another user.  This PTF gives administrators the option to solve
the problem by choosing to disable shell authentication to all servers
being managed by NetWare for SAA Services Manager.  To disable shell
authentication, add a DisableShellAuthentication parameter to the NetWare
for SAA Services Manager section of the NWSAAMGR.INI file in your Windows
directory and set it to "1".  
.
  DisableShellAuthentication=1
.
.

NOTE: Setting the parameter to "1" causes clear-text passwords to be sent
across the network and may impact your network security.
