DSPI SNA3270_E02016 Data Stream Prog. Interface V1.6 ECO Summary
TITLE: DSPI SNA3270_E02016 Data Stream Prog. Interface V1.6 ECO Summary
NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will
be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for SNA DSPI V1.6 on OpenVMS V6.2 through V7.2.
Problems Addressed in the SNA3270_E02016 Kit:
o Access violation after an attempt to reconnect
An ACCVIO would occur when the application tries to perform a
reconnect, for example, when the remote IBM becomes unavailable.
This would occur while using VMS/SNA as a gateway. It was caused
by the session block no longer being available or the receive
buffer having been deallocated.
o Connecting with the TCP Transport would fail
As a connection is being established, the sequence of transports
(default order is Local, DECnet and TCP) is tried. If one
transport fails, the subsequent transports would also fail.
This problem has been corrected.
o Isolated Pacing Response (IPR) not being processed would
cause hang
When an IPR was received, and there are no receives outstanding,
the pacing state was not being set properly. This led to a hang
in the application after the pacing window was exhausted.
o Added support for the Local transport on the OpenVMS Alpha platform
Added support for the Local transport on the OpenVMS Alpha
platform. This will enable local users to connect to
Compaq SNA Server without using a network connection.
This is similar to OpenVMS VAX local users connections to
VMS/SNA. Example: $SET HOST/SNA 0.
o Transmit byte count exceeds buffer length
Fixed a problem where the connection failed to a gateway
because the terminal ID was longer than 32 bytes. The
following error was returned:
%SNA-E-INVTRMPAR, invalid authterm parameter
-SNA-E-LENTOOLON, transmit byte count exceeds buffer length
Problems Addressed in the SNA3270_E01016 Kit:
o Local OpenVMS Alpha users can now connect to Compaq SNA Server
without using a network connection. This is similar to OpenVMS
VAX local users connections to VMS/SNA. Example: $SET HOST/SNA 0.
o Fixed a problem where the connection failed to a gateway
because the terminal ID was longer than 32 bytes. The
following error was returned:
%SNA-E-INVTRMPAR, invalid authterm parameter
-SNA-E-LENTOOLON, transmit byte count exceeds buffer length
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The ECO kit is installed with the VMSINSTAL command procedure. The
system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
Please follow the instructions in the DECnet SNA 3270 Data Stream
Programming Interface Installation Guide to make the new software active.
The ECO kit checks to ensure that a valid license is installed before
proceeding. If one is not found, the installation aborts.
