DTF SNADTFS_E03032 SNA Data Transfer Facility Server V3.2 ECO 3 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 Facility Server V3.2
on OpenVMS VAX V6.1 through V7.1 and OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.1.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

NOTE:  The DECnet SNA Data Transfer Facility Server Release Notes contain a 
       complete explanation of this release. Below is a brief description of 
       the problems fixed by this release.

  o IBM-initiated transfers to the VAX failed



PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN SNADTFS_E02032:

  o  GAI_CLOSE would not deallocate channels on abnormal
     disconnects. This has now been corrected and the
     sna__rcv_callback routine now will deallocate the
     channels.

  o  The pacing indicator was never being set on first
     request RH in pacing window when sending data to host.
     This has now been corrected in the SNA__PAC_RQ_SEND
     routine.

  o  Pacing not working properly when a pacing value was
     specified. This has been corrected in the sna__tc_
     dequeue_q_pac by checking if pacing_count is greater
     than zero. Previously pacing_window was being checked
     in error.

  o  Fixed the problem where SNARCOPY SHOW JOB command was
     looping, when the generic queue and all other queues are
     empty.

  o  When two or more same copies were running at the same
     time, the error message "-SNADTF-F-SSFAIL, call to system
     service $CHANGE_ACL failed" returned. Multiple RCOPY jobs
     were being submitted that created the same workfile.WRK
     in the SNADTF$MANAGER directory. RCOPY attempted to set
     an ACL on the file. However, RCOPY didn't maintain the
     version number of the work file, so two or more submitters
     attempted to set the ACL on the same file!

  o  Fixed an QIO access violation when DTF copy with rms
     default network block count was above 125.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The ECO kit is installed with the VMSINSTAL command procedure.

The ECO kit checks to ensure that a valid license is installed before
proceeding.  If one is not found, the installation aborts.
