SNA_DTF SNADTFU_E03033 SNA Data Transfer Facility Utility V3.3 ECO Summary
TITLE: SNA_DTF SNADTFU_E03033 SNA Data Transfer Facility Utility V3.3 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 DECNET/SNA Data Transfer Utility Server for OpenVMS
V3.3 on OpenVMS V6.2 through V7.2 (VAX and Alpha). This kit addresses the
following problems.
Problems addressed in SNADTFU_E03033:
o IBM initiated copy failed if the DTF server and client were on
different nodes.
If the user name DID exist on the VMS side, it would fail with
-RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation
If the user name DID NOT exist on the VMS side, it would fail with
%SNADTF-F-BUGCHK, internal error detected in INIT at PC 001396C8
-SNADTF-F-SSFAIL, call to system service $PERSONA_CREATE failed
-RMS-E-RNF, record not found
o Error indicating that SNARCOPY had to be installed with
DETACH/IMPERSONATE privilege.
transfer/dtf copy .....
%SNADTF-E-RCPRIV, SNARCOPY must be installed with DETACH,
NETMBX, SYSLCK, SYSPRV, TMPMBX privileges
o Various errors indicating that $PERSONA_CREATE failed.
-RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation
%SNADTF-F-BUGCHK, internal error detected in INIT at PC 001396C8
-SNADTF-F-SSFAIL, call to system service $PERSONA_CREATE failed
-RMS-E-RNF, record not found
Problems addressed in SNADTFU_E02033:
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 Error message text is not displayed
The V3.3 ECO1 kit will display the status code for some
messages rather than the actual message text. This has
been corrected.
o IBM initiated transfers cause internal error
Copy operations initiated from the IBM side were forcing a
fatal error:
-SNADTF-F-SSFAIL, call to system service $PERSONA_CREATE failed
This problem has been corrected.
o Isolated Pacing Response Not Being Processed Causing 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: $SET HOST/SNA 0.
o Transmit byte count exceeds buffer length
Fixed a problem where the connection failed to a gateway
because the terminal ID was longer than 32 bytes. The
following error was returned:
%SNA-E-INVTRMPAR, invalid authterm parameter
-SNA-E-LENTOOLON, transmit byte count exceeds buffer length
o SNADTFCFG and TRANSFER/DTF SHOW ERROR command
The SNADTFCFG and TRANSFER/DTF utility SHOW ERROR command
would display messages showing random data in FAO data
fields. This has been corrected.
o SNADTF$FAL process HIBERnates forever
SNADTF$FAL processes stayed in HIBERnate state when the
DTF transfered data over the Open VMS/SNA. This problem
has been corrected.
o Passing string "." as a gateway name if connecting over
Open VMS/SNA
If the gateway is not defined from the snadtfcfg utility,
a "." was used as the gateway name and appeared in the sna
logmask trace, and the following error was returned to the
user:
%SNALU62-E-RESFRET, resource failure retry
-SNA-E-NOMORETRA, gateway unknown or unreachable
This is fixed so that "0" will be used when the user is
requesting a connection over Open VMS/SNA.
o Access violation on attempt to reconnect a session
An application could access violate when closing down one
connection and attempting a reconnect before the first
session was completely torn down.
o Logical name SNA$DEF_GATEWAY
The logical name SNA$DEF_GATEWAY was not being translated.
This has been corrected.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The ECO kit is installed with the VMSINSTAL command procedure.
Follow the instructions in the product installation manual to
re-start the product after installing this kit. A reboot of the
hardware is not necessary.
The ECO kit checks to ensure that a valid license is installed before
proceeding. If one is not found, the installation aborts.
The minimum supported OpenVMS versions supported by this ECO:
OpenVMS VAX V6.2
OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
