SYMPTOM **** 3.X
The server may abend when unloading NLMs, such as BOOTPD.NLM (and others).
Abend types such as GPPE and Invalid Opcode have been seen.
SYMPTOM
During the installation of BASIC MHS on a NetWare 3.x server, the following
error message is displayed:
Error: initializing MHS Data Files
Error: creating MHS Data Files
Full Installation: Failed
SYMPTOM
When globally changing to a dataset in or logging in to a SoftSolution's
Server Enhancement Module (SEM) and using CLIB.NLM 3.12, revision G, the
following error message is displayed:
Error 572: Could not send data to server [237, 0, 0]
SYMPTOM
The SSSERVER.LOG file will contain entries similar to the following:
Monday July 25, 1994 02:18:49 PM -- SoftSolution's SEM is up
Monday July 25, 1994 02:18:49 PM -- Lock failure
Monday July 25, 1994 02:18:49 PM -- 593: Record not found
Monday July 25, 1994 02:18:49 PM -- NetWare error number 255
SYMPTOM
When restarting, shutting down, or unloading the GroupWise Message Server and
using CLIB.NLM v3.12, revision G, considerable delays may be experienced.
Every few seconds, the Message Server issues alert messages similar to the
following:
Waiting for task <taskname> to complete
This type of message usually occurs when the Message Server has lost its
connection to a remote file server.
When the connection has been lost, the Message Server must wait for all I/O
operations to time out. When several I/O operations have been open on this
server, this timeout period increases. The number displayed in the <taskname>
field indicates an approximate number of I/O operations that must time out.
SOLUTION
Install CLIB.NLM v3.12, revision H, contained in the libup4.exe file.
SYMPTOM **** 4.X
The following abend message may be returned to the server:
MESSAGE
ScheduleWorkToDo passed an invalid resource tag
SOLUTION
Apply CLIB.NLM 4.01 from the libup4.EXE file.

Patch History:
The previous version of this library package LIBUP1.EXE contained the
following fixes:
AFTER311.NLM 3.0, revision H for NetWare 3.11 and 3.12 was enhanced in its
support for internationalization and NetWare alerts.
CLIB.NLM 3.12, revision D for NetWare 3.11, NetWare SFT III, and NetWare 3.12
was improved in several areas.
■ Errors in Queue Management Services in handling job or form types and
memory corruption while servicing a queue were corrected.
■ Problems in handling connections and deleting files on remote servers were
corrected.
■ Service Advertising Protocol interfaces were fixed for the NetWare SFT III
I/O engine and included additional error checking.
■ The IPX address error handing was improved.
■ Several server statistic functions were corrected.
■ Improvements were made for internationalization, as well as memory
allocation and debugging.
■ A deadlock condition that may occur between NetWare SFT III servers and a
bug that may occur while shutting down a NetWare SFT III server were
corrected.
■ Problems with name space support were fixed.
CLIB.NLM 4.01, revision B for NetWare 4.01 was also improved in the following
areas:
■ Improvements were made in console input functions, resource handling, and
name space support.
■ Several server statistic functions were corrected.
■ Interface with DSAPI.NLM was enhanced by improving support for multiple
NetWare Directory Services users.
The previous version of this library package LIBUP3.EXE contained:
CLIB.NLM 3.12, revision H for NetWare 3.11, NetWare SFT III, and NetWare 3.12
was improved in several areas. Server statistics were added as well as
support for file server hooks. A variety of fixes are included.
NLMs that get time and date information from the CLIB.NLM file will get
incorrect time and date. This is particularly acute for database servers such
as Gupta and Oracle. The behavior is as follows:
1. As the time changes from 23-OCT-1993 23:59:59 to 24-OCT-1993 00:00:00, the
date and time obtained from CLIB.NLM will be pushed forward one hour.
2. As the time changes from 30-OCT-1993 23:59:59 to 31-OCT-1993 00:00:00, the
date and time obtained from CLIB.NLM will be pushed backward one hour.
CLIB.NLM 4.01, revision D for NetWare 4.01, was also improved to correct the
following abend message.
When NLMs such as PSERVER are unloaded, the server will abend with the
following message:
MESSAGE
Abend: SERVER-4.00-362: CloseScreen called with a screen that
is still being used.
