Bugs fixed:
- 2512: WNAP fails to load on Netware connection number 256 or 512.
Due to a restriction of the Netware interface that SNA Server uses,
clients who happen to connect using Netware connection number 256
or 512 will not be able to start WNAP due to "no network found"
error. This update uses a different mechanism to detect the
presence of the Netware shell, rather than using the connection
number (which is returned to SNA Server as connection #0).
- XXXX: WNAP support for NetWare User ID defaulting from WIN.INI.
Allows the LogonUserName=<user> entry in the [wnap] section of
WIN.INI to default the user id in the SNA Server client logon
dialog. Previously, SNA Server retrieved the user name based
on the user's Netware connection number. However, if the
connection number exceeded 256, the wrong userid would appear
in this logon dialog.
- 2452: Improved detection of SPX connection failures.
When connecting over Netware IPX/SPX, the SNA Server client would
occasionally not be notified of an SPX session error, causing the
SNA application to hang. This update assumes any SPX connection
write error should be interpreted as an SPX connection failure,
causing SNA Server to cancel any pending reads over that SPX
connection.
- XXXX: Miscellaneous APPC TP dynamic load problems on Win 3.x client
When running an APPC or CPIC program which accepts conversations
over more than one TP name, the SNA Server client would incorrectly
attempt to invoke another copy of the invokable TP rather than
route the request to the outstanding receive_allocate or cmaccp
call.
Update Procedure:
- On an SNA Server Windows 3.x client machine, stop the SNA Server
client software and apply the following updated modules:
save original copies of all files by renaming them to *.OLD
copy all updates from Patch #52 to the SNA client machine
(as documented in the Patch 52 readme file)
copy all *.DLL files to the <winroot>\SYSTEM directory
copy WNAP.EXE to the <snaroot> directory
(save the TRACE versions for troubleshooting purposes, if required)
NOTE: If you are using Attachmate Extra 4.0a, this version includes
an older set of SNA Server Windows 3.x client files, which
are copied to the \EXTRAWIN directory. If applying this update
to such a system, rename the following files in the \EXTRAWIN
directory so they are not used:
WNAP.EXE -> WNAP.20
WDMOD.DLL -> WDMOD.20
LMCLI.DLL -> LMCLI.20
NWCLI.DLL -> NWCLI.20
WLOGTR.DLL -> WLOGTR.20
YMGR.DLL -> YMGR.20
- Restart the SNA client software
