  64. |    using integrated services digital network (ISDN)                           
  65. |    then LAN Adapter and Protocal Support (LAPS) is                            
  66. |    required. The level of LAPS shipped with

  106. |                                                                               
  107. |    - ISDN users who are using NTS/2 must apply the fix for                    
  108. |      NTS/2 APAR IC04997.                                                      
  109. |

  117. |    select the SETUP ICON in the Communications Manager/2                      
  118. |    Folder, select OPTIONS, then RECREATE FOLDERS                              
  119. |    This rebuilds all group box, or folder                                     
  120. |    entries for all features and functions installed                           
  121. |    on the workstation.  If you have moved icons                               
  122. |    to other folders, they will be recreated in the                            
  123. |    Communications Manager/2 folder.  If you deleted                           
  124. |    the folder it will be recreated.

  132. |    reinstall the same configuration. This will reset                          
  133. |    the CONFIG.SYS entries.  This updates PATH, DPATH                          
  134. |    and LIBPATH statements in CONFIG.SYS. It will also                         
  135. |    add all necessary device drivers to support the default                    
  136. |    configuration and any installed additional functions.

  147. |    The device drivers will NOT be retained,                                   
  148. |    but will be commented out (REM ...).                                       
  149. |    Reinstalling the same Communications Manager/2

  157. |    the workstation Communications Manager/2 1.0 will NOT                      
  158. |    install FFST/2. If UPM (User Profile Management) SYSLEVEL                  
  159. |    says a newer version of UPM is on the workstation                          
  160. |    Communications Manager/2 1.0 will NOT install UPM.                         
  161. |    Communications Manager/2  will use the newer

  165. |             Communications Manager/2 will fail.                               
  166. |    Communications Manager/2 must be installed                                 
  167. |    using Communications Manager/2's CMSETUP command or                        
  168. |    selecting the SETUP ICON in Communications Manager/2's                     
  169. |    Folder, selecting INSTALL.                                                 
  170. |    You can install Communications Manager from a

  178. |12. 05/25/93 .CF2 file cannot be found when upgrading from                     
  179. |             Communications Manager Extended Services                          
  180. |    This can occur during CMSETUP processing when the                          
  181. |    diskette containing the ES 1.0 Communications Manager                      
  182. |    configuration does not contain the .CF2 file.  To                          
  183. |    upgrade you will need the following Communications                         
  184. |    Manager ES 1.0 files from the following ES 1.0                             
  185. |    directories                                                                
  186. |        CMLIB <your>.cfg                                                       
  187. |        CMLIB APPN <your>.CF2

  189. |        CMLIB APPN <your>.SEC                                                  
  190. |                                                                               
  191. |    This can also occur when trying to use an                                  
  192. |    ES 1.0 Communications Manager                                              
  193. |    configuration to upgrade to Communications                                 
  194. |    Manager/2 1.0, but install Communications Manager/2 1.0                    
  195. |    on a different drive than where ES 1.0 Communications                      
  196. |    Manager was installed. Communications Manager/2 1.0                        
  197. |    requires that all the configuration files be located                       
  198. |    in the same directory on the ES 1.0 Communications                         
  199. |    Manager, copy:                                                             
  200. |        CMLIB APPN <your>.CF2   to  CMLIB *.*                                  
  201. |        CMLIB APPN <your>.NDF   to  CMLIB *.*                                  
  202. |        CMLIB APPN <your>.SEC   to  CMLIB *.*                                  
  203. |    This is not a problem when installing Communications                       
  204. |    Manager/2 1.0 on the same drive over ES 1.0 Communications                 
  205. |    Manager, because Communications Manager/2 1.0 Install                      
  206. |    collapses the ES 1.0 Communications Manager APPN                           
  207. |    sub-directory into CMLIB.                                                  
  208. |

  213. |             less than 32K free on the boot drive.                             
  214. |    This will return  you to the command line                                  
  215. |    with no messages displayed and no messages                                 
  216. |    logged.  You will need to free enough space                                
  217. |    on the boot drive for Communications                                       
  218. |    Manager to install.  Reference the README file on                          
  219. |    diskette one for more information.

  222. |             add or remove ES 1.0 Database Manager.                            
  223. |    The update to REINST was not installed.                                    
  224. |    This update is only applied when you install

  226. |    diskette, selecting  Close on the main window,                             
  227. |    selecting YES to install the setup code, will NOT                          
  228. |    install the REINST update. The REINST update will be                       
  229. |    installed when the first configuration is installed.                       
  230. |    Consult the README on diskette 1 under
