-
- SYMPTOM
-
- An error message is returned stating that there was a failure to connect
- from DJOBSCHD or SJOBDMGR. This failure is also indicated in Status
- information for the distribution job in the NetWare Navigator
- Administration console.
-
- CAUSE
-
- Incompatible SMS and NetWare Navigator NLMs. The service name changed in
- recent releases of the SMS TSAs.
-
- CAUSE
-
- The SMS TSAs and the NetWare Navigator NLMs you have do not work
- together.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- NetWare Navigator cannot be installed on any volume other than the SYS:
- volume.
-
- CAUSE
-
- Previous design.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- After a Distribution Job is scheduled, it cannot be canceled.
-
- CAUSE
-
- Previous design.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- In some instances, you will receive a System Error SYS3175 when trying to
- add the eighth event to the OS/2 Scheduler.
-
- CAUSE
-
- The OS/2 Scheduler was performing a recursive action that was causing a
- stack overflow. This stack overflow is specific to using the PM
- Interface for scheduling events and does not apply to scheduling events
- from command line.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Script log details can only be viewed at the Administration Console for
- the default polling time of the Staging Server (8 minutes). The script
- log details are overwritten when the Administration Console receives the
- feedback that a package was distributed. This symptom ONLY pertains to
- packages distributed with the Pull Distribution Method.
-
- CAUSE
-
- The feedback for script executions were erroneously being returned to the
- Administration Console prior to the feedback on the package distribution.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- When playing back DOS keystrokes, erroneous ASCII characters may be
- inserted into the keystroke file.
-
- CAUSE
-
- Special keystroke functions, such as <WAITSEC nn>, were not being handled
- properly.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- In some circumstances, the script log details displayed at the
- Administration Console are incomplete.
-
- CAUSE
-
- For server names with less than 8 characters, embedded NULLs were being
- read as an end of file.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- In some circumstances, editing files with the NNEDT command removes all
- other contents of the edited file.
-
- CAUSE
-
- When the same file is explicitly specified as the infile and the outfile
- (using the /i and /o options) for the NNEDT command, and the workstation
- is running DR DOS, the file handling was causing incorrect editing.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Feedback from package script execution is not being returned to the
- Administration Console.
-
- CAUSE
-
- Workstations running DR DOS encountered problems with a VLM-based NetWare
- requester.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- MS Windows applications that are scheduled as events from a package
- script using the NNWIN SCHED command are not being executed.
-
- CAUSE
-
- MS Windows events were being flagged incorrectly to use a command
- processor that is not used for MS Windows applications.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Using the No Replace option for Push distributions to client workstations
- deletes the existing file on the workstation.
-
- CAUSE
-
- Existing workstation files were being truncated to 0 bytes before
- verification of the existence of the file was performed.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Status code information for the condition of a disk being full was not
- included in the online Help.
-
- CAUSE
-
- The status code information was not included in the build of the online
- Help.
-
- SOLUTIONS
-
- The symptoms listed above will be corrected after the NetWare Navigator
- pre-built packages are distributed to the appropriate Distribution Lists.

- Installation Instructions:
-
- NOTE: Refer to Page 3-32 of the "NetWare Navigator Administration Guide"
- for more information on creating Distribution Lists and distributing
- packages.
-
- 1. Specific NLMs must be loaded and unloaded at the Distribution Server
- to put the changes in affect.
-
- WARNING: Before unloading and loading the NLMs, you must ensure that
- there are no Active Jobs on that server.
-
- To unload the NLMs, type the following at command line:
- UNLOAD SJOBDMGR <Enter>
- UNLOAD SJOBFDBK <Enter>
- UNLOAD DJOBSCHD <Enter>
- UNLOAD DJOBFDBK <Enter>
-
- To load the NLMs, type NWSDRUN <Enter>.
-
- This may also be performed by using RCONSOLE if the Distribution
- Server is set up appropriately.
-
- 2. Using the NetWare Navigator Administration Console, distribute the
- NetWare Navigator Staging Server Update 3.0 package to a
- Distribution List containing all the NetWare Navigator Staging
- Servers.
-
- 3. Specific NLMs must be loaded and unloaded at the Staging Servers to
- put the changes in affect.
-
- WARNING: Before unloading and loading the NLMs, you must ensure that
- there are no Active Jobs on that server.
-
- To unload the NLMs, type the following at command line of each
- Staging Server:
-
- UNLOAD SJOBDMGR <Enter>
- UNLOAD SJOBFDBK <Enter>
-
- To load the NLMs at each Staging Server, type NWSDRUN and press
- <Enter>.
-
- This may also be performed by using RCONSOLE if the Staging Servers
- are set up appropriately.
-
- 4. Using the NetWare Navigator Administration Console, distribute the
- NetWare Navigator DOS/Windows Client Update 2.0 package to a
- Distribution List containing DOS client workstations. This package
- is specific to MS Windows clients; therefore, if MS Windows does not
- exist on the client workstation, the workstation will not be
- updated.
-
- 5. Using the NetWare Navigator Administration Console, distribute the
- NetWare Navigator OS/2 Client Update 1.0 package to a Distribution
- List containing OS/2 client workstations.
-
- Instructions for Selecting the Server Volume
-
- New functionality for NetWare Navigator 3.0 allows an administrator to
- select the server volume on which to install NetWare Navigator 3.0.
-
- Insert the following step after step 2e on page 2-7 in the "NetWare
- Navigator Administration Guide."
-
- ■ At the Volume Selection dialog box, select the volume where you want
- to install NetWare Navigator and select OK.
-
- NetWare Navigator is installed on the volume you selected.
-
- Instructions for Canceling a Distribution Job
-
- New functionality has been added to NetWare Navigator 3.0 allowing
- administrators to cancel a distribution job, providing that it has not
- begun distribution. Because access to the job queue is restricted to the
- Administration Console user, it is not possible for anyone without
- NetWare Navigator Administrator rights to cancel a job.
-
- Instructions for canceling distribution jobs and checking on their status
- are provided in the following sections.
-
- ■ Canceling One or More Distribution Jobs
-
- To cancel one or more distribution jobs, perform the following
- steps:
-
- 1. At the NetWare Navigator Administration Console, choose "Cancel
- Job..." from the "File" menu.
-
- The "Cancel Job" dialog box displays, listing all the jobs
- still in the queue and their scheduled distribution times. If
- any jobs are scheduled to begin distribution during the time
- the "Cancel Job" dialog box is displayed, they will be held in
- the queue until an action is completed at the "Cancel Job"
- dialog box.
-
- For example, if a job is scheduled to be distributed at 8:05
- a.m. on a certain date, and the "Cancel Job" dialog box is
- opened at 8:04 a.m. on the same date, the job is held in the
- queue until an action is taken at the "Cancel Job" dialog box.
- If the action taken is to cancel the job, the job is canceled.
- If the action taken is NOT to cancel the job, when the dialog
- box is closed, the job begins distribution (provided that the
- scheduled distribution time has passed).
-
- 2. Select one or more jobs from the list and select "OK." (To
- select more than one job, press and hold the <Shift> key while
- using the mouse to select the jobs in the list.)
-
- The "Confirm" pop-up box displays the following message:
-
- "Do you want to cancel the selected distribution jobs?"
- If a job has already begun distribution, it cannot be canceled,
- and you receive the following error message "ERROR ACCESSING
- QUEUE: queue_name".
-
- 3. Select "Yes" to cancel the jobs at the confirmation box.
-
- The "Cancel Job" dialog box closes, returning you to the
- NetWare Navigator Administration Console.
-
- (If you select "No", the jobs are not canceled and the "Cancel
- Job" dialog box closes. If you select "Cancel" the jobs are
- not canceled, but you remain at the Cancel Job" dialog box so
- you can select other jobs.)
-
- ■ Viewing the Status of Canceled Jobs
-
- Add the following information to page 3-38 in the "NetWare Navigator
- Administration Guide."
-
- To view the status of canceled jobs, perform the following steps:
-
- 1. At the NetWare Navigator Administration Console, choose
- "Completed Jobs..." from the "Status" menu.
-
- The "Completed Jobs" screen displays. For the jobs you
- canceled, in the Node Status field area, the number of failed
- attempts to distribute the job is equal to the number of
- targets in the distribution list. The number of successful
- attempts is zero.
-
- 2. Select the "Details" button. The "Completed Job Details"
- screen displays.
-
- For the jobs you canceled, the feedback message is "Canceled."
