ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DEC SNA Domain Gateway V2.0 on Digital UNIX V2.1
through V4.0.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the SNAPU5_UE02020 Kit:

  o  Fixed a hang with access routines connecting to the Domain Gateway. 
     The problem was seen from Digital UNIX V4.0 and Windows NT systems. 
     The IP "Do Not Fragment" indication was incorrectly interpreted by
     the Domain Gateway.  The complete IP datagram was treated as a
     fragment, thus the infinite wait. 


Problems Addressed in the SNAPU5_UE01020 Kit:

  o  Updated Operating System and Network software supported versions to
     include Digital UNIX V4.0 and OpenVMS VAX V6.2 with related
     DECnet/OSI supported versions. 

  o  DTF for Digital UNIX is now supported over the Domain Gateway via
     TCP/IP connections. 

  o  Fixed erroneous NSP "invalid message format" logging on sink node. 

  o  Fixed a problem with NSP connections using segment flow control.

  o  Fixed CTF tracing from DECnet/OSI on OpenVMS VAX.

  o  Fixed TCP/IP Domain Gateway crash seen when the OpenVMS access
     routines disconnected improperly.  A LES LPD was deallocated twice.
     A subsequent LPD allocation would cause the crash.  This could
     happen from other access routines as well, but has only been seen
     with DTF for Digital UNIX. 

  o  Fixed a TCP/IP potential memory leak in GASP. 

  o  Fixed a TCP/IP hang on inbound file transfers.

  o  Fixed a bugcheck in path control, SAPC.

  o  Fixed a bugcheck in LUMGR.

  o  LES V3 access violation fixed.

  o  DSRLST error parsing control vectors fixed.

More information regarding the nature of these problems can be found in
the ECO kit's release notes, SNAPU5202.release_notes.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

Note that this is a complete kit.  The current version of the Domain
Gateway MUST be deleted before installing this ECO.  Removing the subsets
will not remove your configuration files.  However, it is suggested you
create copies to prevent accidental removal. 

Save copies of your current (cmip,ncl,icu) configuration files before
installing this ECO kit to another directory. 

The ECO kit is distributed as a tar file, SNAPU5_UE02020.TAR, containing
the kit which can be installed using the setld command.  The tar file
should be unpacked to a suitable directory and then the setld command
issued specifying that directory as the source of the kit. 

For example, if the tar file containing the kit has been copied to
/usr/tmp/snapu5.tar: 

     # mkdir /usr/tmp/snapu5
     # cd /usr/tmp/snapu5
     # tar xf /usr/tmp/snapu5.tar
     # setld -l .

If the kit is delivered on tap11 then the commands would be:

     # mkdir /usr/tmp/snapu5
     # cd /usr/tmp/snapu5
     # tar x
     # setld -l .

The Domain Gateway must be reloaded for fixes to be made operational. 
The gateway need not be reconfigured.
