I. Installation Instructions:
1. The following instructions MUST be followed:
A. If you have NetWare for SAA running in a NetWare 4.0 or 4.01
server download:
PTF410.EXE
PTF411.EXE
PTF414.EXE
PTF415.EXE
Note: PTF412.EXE and PTF413.EXE are not needed for a NetWare 4.0
server.
B. If you have NetWare for SAA running in a NetWare 3.11 or 3.12
server download:
PTF410.EXE
PTF411.EXE
PTF412.EXE
PTF413.EXE
PTF414.EXE
PTF415.EXE.
2. You MUST unzip according to the following instructions. Simply
copying the files in will NOT work.
Each of these self extracting, zipped files contains a script,
corresponding to the installation script on a diskette.
- The -d parameter MUST BE USED.
- The <path> is the complete DOS path to these files.
3. Make a directory called CEUPDATE and put PTF410.EXE, PTF411.EXE,
PTF412.EXE, and PTF413.EXE into it. You can use either a DOS partition or
a NetWare partition.
4. Make a directory called NWSAAUPD and put PTF414.EXE and PTF415.EXE
into it.
5. Change to the CEUPDATE directory and type:
PTF410 <enter>
PTF411 <enter>
PTF412 <enter> *for NetWare 3 server only
PTF413 <enter> *for NetWare 3 server only
pkunzip COMMEXE1 -d <enter>
pkunzip COMMEXE2 -d <enter>
pkunzip COMMEXE3 -d <enter> *for NetWare 3 server only
pkunzip COMMEXE4 -d <enter> *for NetWare 3 server only
NOTE: If you do not use the -d parameter the proper directory structure
will not be established.
6. Change to the NWSAAUPD directory and type:
PTF414 <enter>
PTF415 <enter>
pkunzip NWSAA2 -d <enter>
pkunzip NWSAA1 -d <enter>
The environment to perform the Communication Executive installation as
described in the NetWare for SAA 1.3 Administration Guide will then exist.
7. **IMPORTANT** PTF410.TXT unzipped into the CEPUPDATE directory,
please read it for instructions on how to then install the files.
Note:
PTF 410 COMMEXE1.ZIP = Communications Executive Support Modules
PTF 411 COMMEXE2.ZIP = Communications Executive Modules
PTF 412 COMMEXE3.ZIP = System File Update (for 3.11 only)
PTF 413 COMMEXE4.ZIP = BTRIEVE files (for 3.11 only)
PTF 414 NWSAA1.ZIP = NetWare for SAA Update (part 1)
PTF 415 NWSAA2.ZIP = NetWare for SAA Update (part 2)
II. The PTF41X series updates SAA 1.3 to SAA v1.3.43 which is effectively
the same as the version 1.3B which as about to ship. It provides:
1. All of the current "bug fixes". (see PTF410.TXT for a list)
2. Compatability with Netware 4.0 and 4.01.
3. The following new features:
A. TRFORMAT.EXE now decodes LUx information.
B. HELP file added to WEEAS for OS/2 access support.
C. SNMP alert support for NMS, added generic MLID object for 3rd
party driver support.
D. NetWare Management Agent
1) Remote 3 adapter now compatible with SSM.
2) Flow of NetView alerts is now restricted if a limit is
exceeded. This is configurable through NVCMDS.DB.
3) A NetView alert will be generated if registered end point servers
go down.
4) Allow RUNCMD retry limit, retry timer and response timer are now
configurable through NVCMDS.DB. This replaces the configuration available
previously in NetWare for SAA 1.2 through CSPARM.
5) Allow APPL names in runcmds to 8 characters without padding.
4. Support added for License diskette.
5. CPIC and AS/400 file names now conform to the CD-ROM ISO
convention.
6. Two additional NetView alerts can now be generated:
