SYMPTOM:
General Symptoms
1. Not compatible with NetSoft and DCA emulators.
2. Unexpected disconnects.
3. Failure to attach with Password Encryption turned on.
4. Multiple line RUNCMD responses limited to 110 characters.
5. Problems gathering statistics through SSM.
6. Problems using the verb CNOS.
7. If a session was terminated while the DCA emulator was using
mod 5, subsequent users would get 4B? on the OIA line when trying
to get a new session.
8. Definite response with Pacing ON, caused sense code 200A.
9. Test frames being sent causing the link to reset.
10. 3174 X.25 RPQ failure to connect with NWSAA.
11. Several different state transition errors; event=1 state=5 &
event=7 state=7.
12. Several LU6.2 problems, including send error in recv state
problems.
13. Failure to respond to a Null XID when configured as a PU
type 2.1 over a SDLC link.
Symptoms Related to R3SDLC & SDLCS
1. Server hang in a multidrop environment, if another device
kept RTS high.
2. RTS toggled to Low even if CSCON was configured to set it
constantly High.
3. Spurious interrupt/missed poll messages.
4. Pressing Attention, during a Logoff could result in a Profile
Unload.
5. Failure to re-establish connection with host.
6. Failure to respond to a DISC from NCP.
7. "DLCI ERROR:unable to attach to a logical board" when loading
both a PU2.0 and a PU2.1 profile to the same board.
8. Failure of link to come up.
Symptoms WITH SNALINKS
1. Even when SNALINKS was configured for Auto Connect, after a

2. Downstream LUs unable to establish host sessions.
3. Unable to copy between a 1.3 and a 1.4 Communication Server.
4. "No more WCM connection"
5. "Error on Attach"
6. After a profile was copied onto a NetWare 4.01 server, an
attempt to run CSCON from the same NetWare drive would cause the

prompt being changed to "%p".
8. SAACopy set the wrong model number.
Symptoms with AS/400
1. Unable to access Shared Folders.
2. Invalid XID messages on the console.
Symptoms Related to OS/2

2. MPA driver not compatible with servers over 16 meg of RAM.
New Features
1. Compatibility added for the new "LINKSNA", due out in the
near future.
2. Compatibility added for the new data link switch product.
SOLUTION:
Apply SAA014 and SAA008
Patch History
---------------------
SAA014 supersedes SAA001, SAA003, SAA004, SAA007, and SAA013.
SAA001 contained CSMPX.NLM dated 2/17/94, which randomized
CSLIST. Such randomization is not desirable at many sites.
SAA001 and SAA002 superseded PTF 443, PTF 435 and PTF 438.
These files also replace the NetWire file SAACPY.EXE that
introduced the problem of restored downstream LUs being unable to
establish host sessions and PTF 431 that was the first PTF for
SAA 1.3B.
SAA008 superseded SAA002.
Solution Specifics: (for some of the symptoms listed above)
GENERAL
1. CMTCP.NLM modified to handle multiple QELs in a single
packet. This was done for compatibility.
4. RUNCMD responses will now be limited to 220 characters. If
in excess of 220 characters, will be truncated. Single line
RUNCMD responses will be broken down into 220 character chunks.
6. When changing the number of sessions (CNOS) from X to Y, must
be at 0 first before the change can be made.
9. DLM.NLM and LLC8022.NLM modified so that test frames will be
turned around once the link is established.
12. Many fixes for LU6.2, including adding sense code for FMH-7
10086040,CNOS fixes, chaining and bracketing fixes,etc.
13. DLM.NLM modified.
SOLUTIONS RELATED to R3SDLC & SDLCS
5. R3SDLC and SDLCS were modified so that DTR is not toggled
when SAA receives a disconnect command in a leased line
configuration.
8. SDLCS.NLM modified so that the link will no longer fail to
come up when a DISC immediately follows a SNRM/UA.
SAACOPY
4. Connections will now clear. They had not been, and as new
connections were made the maximum number would be reached.
8. Model numbers will now transfer correctly.
AS/400
1. Corrected by adding support for the "query conversation
state" service verb.
OS/2
2. WCM.DLL modified.
USING NETVIEW
DLM.NLM modified so that a server crash will no longer result
from a REQMS resulting in a DLM_GET_STATISTICS or
DLM_RESET_STATISTICS.
DATA LINK SWITCH/CUSTOM DATA LINK
Support provided for data spanning multiple data blocks, instead
of being required to remain in one data block. This also effects
Custom data link configurations as well.

Installation Instructions:
1. Although there are diferences between SAA014 and SAA013, they
report the same version to the installation program. Therefore,
an attempt to install SAA014 over SAA013, will result in an error
message. However, if you are using SAA013 without problems,
there is no reason to put SAA014 on top of SAA013.
2. Make sure you have the latest NIC drivers for your system.
They must be ODI 4.0 compliant!.
3. If you have not already done so, install the LANDR3.EXE patch
and the STRTL3.EXE patch.
4. Install SAA014, ONLY IF you have NetWare for SAA 1.3B or have
installed the PTF410 series.
5. If you have Novell's "MultiProtocol Router 3.0" installed on
the server with NetWare for SAA, do the following:
| a. Save your current LLC8022.NLM before installing SAA014.
| b. After following the instructions below to install
SAA014, copy the old LLC8022.NLM over the new one which SAA014
will automatically put in place.
6. Put SAA014.EXE into an empty directory, called SAA014, on a
hard disk or network drive. Make sure the directory path is
available to the server(s) you are updating.
7. Unzip SAA014.EXE.
SAA014 <Enter>
8. Have you ever applied SAA008? If you have, you are currently
at version 1.3.46. If you are currently at version 1.3.46 skip
to step #9. Do NOT apply SAA008 a second time.
Put SAA008.EXE into an empty directory, called SAA008, on a hard
disk or network drive. Make sure the directory path is available
to the server(s) you are updating.
9. Unzip SAA008.EXE.
SAA008 <Enter>
10. Do a CSDOWN so that COMMEXEC will not be running.
11. LOAD Install.
12. Select Product Options.
13. Press <Insert>. You should select the directory path created
above ie, sys:\saa014 or c:\saa014
14. Select server to update.
15. Press <Enter>.
16. Wait for the update to complete.
17. Press <Esc>. You should see NWSAA 1.3.60
18. If you have never applied SAA008, press <Insert>.select
directory path for SAA008 ie, sys:\SAA008 or c:\SAA008.
19. Select the server to update.
20. Press <Enter>
21. Wait for the update to complete.
22. Press <Esc>. You should see COMMEXEC 1.3.46.
***!!!
!!! IMPORTANT NOTE: Never manually copy COMMEXEC.NLM or
NWSAA.NLM into the system. The install scripts must be used! If
you copy in manually, the version information will be incorrect.
If you have ever applied an ETF that required copying NWSAA.NLM
into the system directory manually, please recopy the NWSAA.NLM
that was on the system just prior to installing the ETF, and then
be sure the version number under Product Options for NWSAA is
lower than the one in this patch. If an ETF was applied with an
install script, you do not have to recopy NWSAA.NLM (however, be
sure the version you have is lower than the one in this patch).
If the version number is equal than or greater than the one to be
installed by this patch, the install will fail. !!!******
22. Unload and Reload LLC8022.NLM, (this will load the new
LLC8022.NLM)
23. Reload COMMEXEC.
24. Reload the profile.
25. Copy the new STRNRTR.EXE and NOVELLRT.OVL over any copies
that exist outside of SYS:\SYSTEM\NWSAA\AS400.
26. Read SAACOPY.TXT for instructions on the use of SAACOPY.
Please note that there was a patch to SAACOPY that created an
incorrect directory. The INCORRECT PATH is SYS:\SYSTEM\SAACOPY.
Please delete the contents and the directory. The CORRECT
directory path is SYS:\SYSTEM\NWSAA\SAACOPY. SAA014 will install
the files here.
27. The CONFIG.SYS for the workstation from which you run
SAACOPY must contain FILES=20 (or greater). If it does not, you
will receive the following error message when you try to back up
or restore SAA service files:
MESSAGE
Unable to Open File
28. If you are using the MPA board:
The new MPA driver uses interrupt 3 and is non-shareable, run
reference setup to make sure no other device uses Interrupt 3!
29. If you are using the MPA board with OS/2:
Load MPASDLC Name=board mode=ns
30. If you will be using 3174 X.25 RPQ, copy the new ROUTE.NLM
to the SYSTEM directory and load it with the GBR option.
(specifies that all General Broadcast frames are to be sent as
All Routes Broadcast Frames.)
Note: even if you will not be using 3174 X.25, copying the new
ROUTE.NLM is advised. (the same ROUTE.NLM contained in SROUTE.EXE
and included here as a convenience).
