SNA_PRE SNAPRE_E02014 SNA Printer Emulator ECO Summary
TITLE: SNA_PRE SNAPRE_E02014 SNA Printer Emulator 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 Printer Emulator (PRE) V1.4 on OpenVMS V6.2
through V7.2.
Problems Addressed in the SNAPRE_E02014 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
This problem would only occur while logged into a terminal that is
TELNETed from another system and the access is to a PU2 gateway or
VMS/SNA through GAS.
Problems Addressed in the SNAPRE_E01014 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
This problem would only occur while logged into a terminal
that is TELNETed from another system and the access is to a
PU2 gateway or VMS/SNA through GAS.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is
installed.
The ECO kit checks to ensure that a valid license is installed before
proceeding. If one is not found, the installation aborts.
After the installation is completed the product should be restarted
per the installation instructions in the User's Guide, to make the
new software active.
