ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for Data Transfer Facility Client V1.0 on DIGITAL UNIX V3.2
through V4.0B. This kit addresses the following problems:
Problems addressed in KIT_DTF104
o The DTF/DU 'dispatcher' process sometimes terminated with no
error messages and no core dump.
o The DTF/DU 'dispatcher' did not attempt to re-establish an SNA
session with the mainframe when the mainframe was unavailable.
This limitation was documented in the release notes for the
original product, but is now removed.
o Incorrect output was being produced by the 'dtfls' command when:
- the '-l' option was used on the command line to request
mainframe file size and date last modified
- the mainframe file had been 'migrated' to backup storage.
Instead of indicating that the file size and modification date
were not available, the dtfls command was using the file size and
modification date from the previous line of output. The 'dtfls'
command will now indicate that the file size and date are
unavailable.
Example:
dtfls -l joe.vt\*
DTFVOL 20-OCT-86 229376 JOE.VTX2.PLI
MIGRAT@ xx-xxx-xx x JOE.VTX4.PLI
16:47:09 DUN7518W '@' indicates volumes that are not mounted
o On IBM to Unix copies, a CRC check is now performed. Before this
ECO, the CRC was not being performed.
Problems addressed in previous ECOs:
o DTFDU produced a core dump and terminated when receiving
large files with compression enabled.
o The -m flag on commands dtfui and dtfiu did not send
mail message to user when queued transfer completes.
o Minor errors in man pages dtfpr, dtfsb, and dtf.
o IBM initiated copies fail with error message
DUN9018E if "C2" enhanced security is in use
on the UNIX machine.
o IBM to UNIX copies will sometimes fail with
message DUN7013E which indicates that there is
not enough space on the UNIX machine. This failure
happens when there is actually > 2 gigabytes
of available storage.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Installation procedure:
1. Delete previous version of DTFRUN10* and DTFMAN10*.
2. Un-tar kit_DTF104.tar
3. Use setld to install subsets DTFRUN103 and/or DTFMAN101
Example:
setld -d DTFRUN102 DTFMAN100
cd /tmp
mkdir temp
cd temp
tar xvf /blah/blah/kit_dtf104.tar
setld -l ./ DTFRUN103 DTFMAN101
Notes:
1. Do not use the DTFRUN100, DTFRUN101, or DTFRUN102 IVP after
installing DTFRUN103. If attempted, an error messages indicating
"not currently installed" messages will be displayed.
Use the DTFRUN103 IVP instead.
To execute the DTFRUN103 version of the IVP:
setld -v DTFRUN103
