NVALERT and AFTP Software update available below.
How the product handles dates:
SNA Server 3.0 functions as an SNA protocol gateway. In addition, there are many services that provide functionality beyond protocol conversion that help integrate existing SNA applications and functions with Windows applications and functions.
As an SNA protocol gateway, data is converted from Microsoft LAN protocols and SNA Server specific protocols to System Network Architecture (SNA) protocols. No dates are manipulated in this core functionality.
No dates are entered by users.
All components provide diagnostic tracing which use time stamps. There are no known issues with this function.
The following table lists the additional functionality SNA Server provides, whether it uses dates in any form, how those dates are used and whether any issues exist for those functions.
|
Component |
Uses Dates |
Use of Dates |
Known Issues |
|
Administration |
Yes |
Displays the Hour/Min/Sec that Active sessions started |
None |
|
Client/Server Protocol |
Yes |
Logs the Hour/Min/Sec that Active sessions started to Administration |
None |
|
Netview |
Yes |
Logs timestamp for Netview events according to IBM specifications. Years are represented in years since 1900. |
NVALERT formats local date/time (X'10) subvector incorrectly for year 2000. The one-byte year field within this subvector should contain the last two digits of the date. For the year 2000, this should be set to 00. However, NVALERT incorrectly sets the date field for year 2000 onward.
A software update for Alpha and Intel platforms for this issue is available at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/sna-public/fixes/
|
|
AFTP (File Transfer) |
Yes |
Displays and sets modification and access times on files transferred between systems |
The AFTP Server service does not show the file dates correctly for year 2000 and beyond. For example, if a file was created on 3/18/2001, the AFTP Server would display a date of 3/18/101. A software update for Alpha and Intel platforms for this issue is available at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/sna-public/fixes/ |
|
