1.0 LOCATION OF INSTALLATION FILES FOR IBM OS/2 WARP DEVELOPER KIT,
JAVA(TM) TECHNOLOGY EDITION
___________________________________________________________________
The installation files for IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit,
Java(TM) Technology Edition, Version 1.1.8 reside in the
\java118 directory on the Convenience Package 2 for OS/2 Warp
Server for e-business Installation CD.
The installation files for IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit,
Java Technology Edition, Version 1.3 reside in
the \java13 directory on the Convenience Package 2
for OS/2 Warp Server for e-business Installation CD.
See the README.ln file, in each directory for installation
instructions, where "ln" is the appropriate language. In the
directory for Java 1.3, there is also a README.1st file.
2.0 WARNING WHEN INSTALLING JAVA 1.1.8 FROM THE INSTALLATION CD
_______________________________________________________________
When installing the IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit, Java(TM)
Technology Edition, Version 1.1.8, you will see the following
warning message:
"The Java Runtime on the system is newer than the version
being installed. Do you still wish to install the Java Runtime?"
This warning appears because the Convenience Package has
already installed the Java Runtime and the Swing Runtime packages
during an earlier phase of the installation. You can select "Yes"
and continue the installation without adversely affecting the
Java Runtime.
To keep this message from appearing, deselect the Java Runtime
and Swing Runtime checkboxes during the Advanced Path installation.
3.0 JAVA 1.1.8 CLASSPATH VERIFICATION
_____________________________________
The Java 1.1.8 Runtime Environment is installed with the
Convenience Package. After installation, examine the
CLASSPATH entry in the CONFIG.SYS file and ensure that it
includes the following path information:
x:\java11\lib\classes.zip
where x: is the drive on which the IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit,
Java Technology Edition, Version 1.1.8 is installed).
If the path information is not in the CLASSPATH entry, you must
add it manually.
Note:
For Java 1.3, it is not necessary to add the path
information to the CLASSPATH entry.
4.0 IBM KEY MANAGEMENT UTILITY WORKS INCORRECTLY WITH
JAVA VERSION 1.3
_____________________________________________________
To use the "Key Management Utility" icon in the "IBM HTTP Server"
folder when the version of Java is version 1.3, do the following:
1. Using a text editor, edit the \IBMHTTPServer\ikeyman.cmd file.
2. Locate the line that looks like the following line:
if "%JAVA_HOME" == "" SET JAVA_HOME=
3. Substituting the correct drive letter for your system,
change the line to read as follows:
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\JAVA11
4. Immediately after that line, add the following statement:
SET PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%path%
5. Save the changes to the \IBMHTTPServer\ikeyman.cmd file.
5.0 LIMIT ON NUMBER OF LVM PARTITIONS
_____________________________________
Do not create more than 120 total partitions when creating
volumes on your system with the Logical Volume Manager (LVM).
Exceeding this total might cause data loss.
6.0 DOMINO SERVER ADVANCED INSTALL TRAPS
________________________________________
If Domino Server Advanced Install traps in EPFIDLDS.EXE, it may
be because of an insufficient stack space allocation. GRADD
video drivers require more stack space than older drivers,
and so may indirectly cause the Advanced Install to trap. If
you experience this problem, use Selective Install, click the
Primary Display icon, then select either the VGA driver or the
Super VGA (SVGA) driver, before proceeding with the Domino
Server Advanced Install. After the Domino Server Advanced
Install,you can use Selective Install to reinstall the original
GRADD video driver.
7.0 GENERAL EURO CURRENCY SUPPORT
_________________________________
This section discusses several topics regarding support for the
Euro currency symbol.
7.1 Entering the Euro Symbol
Many applications running on an OS/2 or WIN-OS/2(R) operating system
will support the Euro currency symbol. However, some applications
may not process the Euro correctly. In OS/2, WIN-OS/2, and DOS
sessions, the Euro symbol can be entered by typing altgr-E for most
keyboards. Some keyboards, however, use altgr-4 or altgr-5 instead
of altgr-E. See the table below.
Keyboard OS/2 WIN-OS/2 DOS
--------- ------- -------- -------
Belgium altgr-E altgr-E altgr-E
Canada (bilingual, multilingual) altgr-E altgr-E altgr-E
Canada (French) altgr-E altgr-E altgr-E

United Kingdom (uk 168) altgr-E n/a altgr-E
United States International altgr-E altgr-5 altgr-E
n/a (Not available)
NOTE: The Euro currency symbol is supported in codepage 850 and in
the Windows 1252 codepage. The Euro currency symbol is not
available in codepage 437 and in the US keyboard layout.
Use codepage 850 and the US International keyboard instead.
7.2 Printing the Euro Symbol
It is possible to print the Euro with inkjet printers. To print on
LaserJet printers, turn off the font substitution logic in the
print driver.
In a WIN-OS/2 session, the Euro currency symbol may not be available
in all fonts and in all applications.
7.3 Setting the Euro Symbol as the Default Currency Symbol
To set the Euro symbol as the default currency symbol on the
OS/2 and WIN-OS/2 operating system, use the OS/2 Country
Palette (Locale). The Country Palette (Locale) can be found in
the OS/2 System Setup folder. To start the Country Palette,
double-click on Locale in the System Setup folder.
To change the default currency symbol for OS/2, select one of the
locales in the Country Palette. Next, right-click on the locale and
select "properties". Click the monetary tab and enter the Euro
currency symbol into the symbol field. If the Euro symbol does not
appear, see the note below. Close the locale's properties dialog.
To change the default WIN-OS/2 currency symbol, select the locale you
just modified. Next, right-click on the locale and select
"mark as default". Close the Country Palette.
NOTE: In some cases it will be necessary to first set the locale's
codepage to 850. The locale's codepage can be changed on the
advanced page in the Country Palette. Select the "iCodepage"
item from the advanced page and set the value to 850. To make
the change active, close the locale's properties dialog.
7.4 Canadian French Users
On a Canadian French system, you must use codepage 850 to enter the
Euro currency symbol. To change your codepage to 850, open an OS/2
command prompt and type "chcp 850". From the same command prompt used
to change the codepage, start the program into which you want to enter
a Euro currency symbol. To enter the Euro symbol using the
Canadian Bilingual/Multilingual keyboard, type altgr-E. To enter the
Euro symbol using the Canadian French keyboard, type altgr-E.
NOTE: Do not permanently switch your codepage to 850 in CONFIG.SYS if
you have installed your system as Canadian French with primary codepage
863. Changing the codepage to 850 will cause icons to disappear from
your desktop. To restore your icons, reset the codepage to 863 and
restart the system.
8.0 USB SUPPORT
_______________
This section provides additional topics discussing Universal
Serial Bus (USB) support.
8.1 Activating USB Support
--------------------------
In "Section 3.1.1 Activating USB Support" of the README.TXT, a
step was omitted. The entire section and sequence of steps follows:
The base USB stack and device drivers are already installed on
your hard file. To activate the stack and device drivers, follow
the instructions below. You must activate the base USB stack.
Activating the base USB device drivers is optional.
To activate the base USB stack (required):
1. Remove the REM from the following statements in the
CONFIG.SYS file:
REM BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
REM BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /REQ:USBUHCD$
REM BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
2. For systems with multiple USB host controllers, the host
controller driver must be specified for each hardware
controller. For example, the IBM ThinkPad(R) T23 computer
requires the following sequence of statements (three hardware
USB host controllers on board):
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
3. Save the CONFIG.SYS file and reboot.
To activate the base USB device drivers (optional):
1. In the CONFIG.SYS file, remove the REM for each of the
devices you want to use. The devices in the CONFIG.SYS
file are:
REM DEVICE=D:\OS2\BOOT\USBCOM.SYS (Serial Port)
REM BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD (FDD, LS-120, ZIP drives)
REM BASEDEV=USBCDROM.ADD (CDROM)
REM DEVICE=D:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS (Keyboard)
REM DEVICE=D:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS (Mouse)
2. Save the CONFIG.SYS file and reboot.
8.2 Installing OS/2 using a USB-attached Floppy Diskette Drive and Keyboard
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
Detailed information on USB support is provided in
the README.TXT file.
8.2.1 Modifying Diskette 1
For systems with one USB controller, add the following sequence of
statements to the CONFIG.SYS file on Diskette 1:
SET SAVECONNECT=1
SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /I13
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
DEVICE=\USBKBD.SYS
For systems with multiple USB host controllers, the host controller
driver must be specified for each hardware controller. For example,
the IBM ThinkPad T23 computer requires the following sequence
of statements (three hardware USB host controllers on board):
SET SAVECONNECT=1
SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /I13
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
DEVICE=\USBKBD.SYS
Add the following USB device drivers to Diskette 1:
o USB Driver (USBD.SYS)
o USB Universal Host Controller Driver (USBUHCD.SYS)
o USB Mass Storage Device Adapter Device Driver (USBMSD.ADD)
o USB Human Interface Device driver (USBHID.SYS)
Add the following USB device driver to Diskette 2:
o USB Keyboard Driver (USBKBD.SYS)
The USB device drivers may be found on the OS/2 Device
Driver Pak Online Web address:
http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/
The USB drivers may also be copied from the OS/2 CD by the
running the following commands in an OS/2 window on an
already installed OS/2 system, replacing "x:" with the CD-ROM
drive letter:
unpack x:\os2image\disk_5\usb /n:USBD.SYS
unpack x:\os2image\disk_5\usb /n:USBUHCD.SYS
unpack x:\os2image\disk_5\usb /n:USBMSD.ADD
unpack x:\os2image\disk_5\usb /n:USBHID.SYS
unpack x:\os2image\disk_5\usb /n:USBKBD.SYS
The drivers may then be copied from the \os2\boot directory
to diskette.
If there is not enough space on Diskette 1 or Diskette 2 to
contain the additional drivers, follow the instructions in
README.TXT to make additional space.
8.2.2 Installing the OS/2 Operating System from Diskettes using
the USB Floppy Drive
1. Enable USB boot in the BIOS Setup.
2. Place the Installation Diskette 0 in your USB floppy drive
and restart the system. Follow the instructions to add other
diskettes when required.
9.0 TCPBEUI UNENCODED NAME LOOKUP ON DOMAIN NAME SERVER
_______________________________________________________
As part of the enhancements made for enablement of TCPBEUI on
multiple physical adapters, a feature which enables unencoded
NetBIOS name lookup on a domain name server (DNS) was added.
You enable this feature by using the ENABLEDNS
value in TCPBEUI_NIF section of the PROTOCOL.INI file.
However, an unencoded DNS lookup is done only if all of the
following conditions are satisfied:
1. The NetBIOS name in question contains only DNS valid
characters, for example "a" to "z", "A" to "Z" and "-".
2. If the NetBIOS name is less than 16 characters in length,
it is either all null (ASCII 0x00) padded or all
blank (ASCII 0x20) padded. A combination of nulls and
blanks will not work.
If the above conditions are not satisfied, an encoded DNS
lookup is performed (even if the ENABLEDNS value is set to 2)
before querying the NBNS.
The documentation concerning unencoded lookup in the file,
MPTSCFG.INF, that was shipped with the Software Choice
release is incorrect.
10.0 IBM WEB BROWSER FOR OS/2 V1.1 - UPDATED VERSION
____________________________________________________
The IBM Web Browser for OS/2 V1.1 contained in the Convenience
Package 2 is based on the Mozilla open source browser and is
an English-language version only.
11.0 KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THESEUS3 AND THE CONVENIENCE PACKAGES
______________________________________________________________
You should use Theseus4 with the Convenience Packages rather
than Theseus3. Theseus3 traps with Convenience Package versions
of the operating system. You can download the updated Theseus4
product from the following Web address:
http://ps.boulder.ibm.com/pbin-usa-ps/getobj.pl?/pdocs-usa/fixnews.html#thes4
12.0 EXTRA ICONS AFTER MULTIPLE MIGRATIONS
__________________________________________
When you migrate more than once, there will be extra icons in
the WarpCenter for System Setup, Command Prompts, Printers, and
Connections icons. For example, if you migrate from OS/2 Warp
Server for e-business to Convenience Package 1, and then migrate
from Convenience Package 1 to Convenience Package 2, you will have
two copies of some of the icons in WarpCenter.
The right-most drawers on the tool bar are the most-recently added
drawers. These may even be hidden on additional trays if there are
enough total drawers. In general, the icons added during migration
are the same as the previous icons installed by earlier OS/2 versions.
The drawers may contain different icons depending on which installation
options you selected during installation or migration. The newer
drawers may also contain different icons, if you have changed any
configurations in previous versions. Look through the duplicate drawers
and keep the versions with the largest number of icons or keep the
versions with your previous changes (which will be the left-most drawers).
You can then delete the duplicate drawers that are not needed.
13.0 USE TIVOLI(R) MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK V3.7 (OR NEWER)
_______________________________________________________
If you are using the Tivoli security functions, you must use
the Tivoli Management Framework v3.7 (or newer). Older versions
of Tivoli Management Framework might encounter a trap with the
Convenience Package 2 version of the operating system.
14.0 SYSTEMS WITH IBM ServeRAID ADAPTERS MAY HANG DURING BOOT
____________________________________________________________
Systems with IBM ServeRAID adapters, on which the firmware has
been updated to v4.80.26 or later, may hang during boot.
Use the driver from the OS/2 DDPak, which you can download from:
http://service5.boulder.ibm.com/2bcprod.nsf/186d96ebef23e6438625689c007ac1ef/dfa4826c066e6e9d86256b11006e6319?OpenDocument
15.0 UNINSTALLING HPFS386 FILE SYSTEM SUPPORT
_____________________________________________
If you have enabled and set DASD limits with the HPFS386
File System, you must backup and disable the DASD limits
before uninstalling HPFS386 support. Otherwise, you might
not be able to access drives or directories. DASD limits
can be disabled using the NET DASD command:
net dasd <path> /disable
where <path> is the drive or directory that has DASD limits enabled.
HPFS386 File System support must be disabled prior to installing
the Convenience Package for Warp Server for e-business over an
existing version. See Section 2.5 of the README.TXT that comes
with the Convenience Package for more information about installing
with HPFS386.
16.0 CLOCKSCALE= PARAMETER DOCUMENTED INCORRECTLY
_________________________________________________
The CLOCKSCALE= parameter, which is documented in the
section "Making Java Programs Faster" in the TECHNOTE.HTM
and TECHNOTE.TXT files, is documented incorrectly. The correct
specification is CLOCKSCALE=4.
