Monitor.nlm. Modified variable from long to float in order to prevent overflow
in the middle of the calculation.
- No longer showing the Java process list if JVM is running on NW 4.x (to
prevent an abend).
- xmlEscape called when necessary to ensure a well-formed XML output
- xmlEscape needed one more time: <
name (possible NLM-MSG version mismatch)
- Changed GetVolInfo and GetNameSpcInfo because a broken API (DEFECT000328624
and DEFECT000255499) to really list all namespaces for NSS volumes
- Changed module version info to display the revision as a number rather than a
character
- Added code to show the current number of MP service processes
- Changed CONFIG version to 3.10.3, according to the format we now use
- Changed code to get rid of the empty NSS section on pre-NetWare 6.0 servers
(as no _ADMIN volume exists)
- Removed /s command line parameter to always include SET parameters. It was
interfering with the old version's behavior.
- /sd is equivalent to /all, to aid NTS in the support process.
- Now using BTI_RESET to really close the Btrieve connection behind us
- Changed version to 3.10.4
Changes since fconfig2.exe (01-29-2003)
- Fixed code to changed total memory size to unsigned. Caused negative number
to be displayed in the 2-4 GB range.
- Fixed an abend issue when VS_VERSION_INFO was located in a different section
- Fixed code to loading NWIDK.NLM dynamically on NetWare 5.0 and newer versions
only, allowing CONFIG.NLM to run on NetWare 4.1x as well.
- Fixed code to backrev'ed to
GetOriginalNumberOfCacheBuffers/GetCurrentNumberOfCacheBuffers from
NWGetCacheInfo preventing unrealistic results, different from those displayed
in Monitor/NORM.
- Fixed attribute listing for SYS:_NETWARE, which cannot be tied to specific
versions or SP levels. Changed code to call NWGetNSEntryInfo, and fail back to
stat
Changes since fconfig1a.exe (09-09-2002):
- Added code to append SYS:ETC\IPWAN.CFG file if it exists
- Added *.jar and *.class file listing (name, date, size) from the following
directories (and below):
- sys:java
- sys:public
- sys:system\lib
- Added *.exe and *.dll file listing (name, date, size) from sys:public and
below.
- Added code to show the file system name when listing volumes
- Added code to extract VS_VERSION_INFO resource structure from EXE and DLL
files (PE format), showing Company Name, Product Name, Product Version, File
Description, File Version (XML output only)
- Fixed an issue where the output file could have the correct timestamp, but
the contents are unchanged from a previous run. Now we are deleting the
previous output file before going on with creating the new one.
- Fixed the PE dump code to deal with keys having a 0 length value
- Fixed GetNameSpcInfo to discover cluster volumes as well
- Added code to include SM BIOS info (formerly known as DMI)
- Added code to show the disk space used by DET (in megabytes and percent of
total disk space)
- Added DSK and PSM to the list of extensions where module info must be
extracted
- Changed dependency on NWIDK.NLM to allow loading on NetWare 4.1x as well
- Added Cluster configuration listing, retrieved from eDirectory
- Some of the new features made optional, using new command line switches
- Parameter list (/? or /h on command line) now shows on a separate screen
instead of scrolling out quickly on the system console
- Eliminated error message when Media Manager APIs return
MM_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED
September 9 2002
- XML label should read Sectors Per Block instead of Free Disk Space, according
to TXT ... corrected.
- Added code to include the list of running Java processes ... like the one
presented by the "java -showall" console command.
- Added /o command line parameter to control the name of the output file:
... /o results in sys:system\config_SERVERNAME.txt (or *.xml)
... /o=filename.ext results in sys:system\filename.ext
- Both formats requires LONG namespace support on volume SYS.
- Added code to append SYS:ETC\PROXY\PROXY.CFG and SYS:_NETWARE\_NDSDB.INI
files if they exist.
- Corrected the code which is responsible to display the logical partition <->
volume segment mapping. The use of MM_VOLUME_RETURN_PARTITION_MAPPING was
dropped because it is buggy in earlier versions of NetWare 5.x.
Jul;y 25 2002
- Modified FileDir to call BuildList etc. in order to represent the directory
contents in alphabetically sorted order with dirs at the top.
- Modified SaveSetParms to use the category names returned by
ScanSetableParameters instead of hardcoding them into the code. This also
resolves the issue with NW6 where wrong category names were reported.
- Show Volume Segments when MM.NLM is version 2.02b or greater. Older versions
just issue a warning message on the console, and return nothing useful.
- Modified code to handle volume numbers up to 254 in case of NW 5 and higher.
Previously it stopped at 63 thus cluster volumes were not showing up.
- Modified Modules411 to filter out duplicate entries (caused by the same NLM
loaded into multiple address spaces).
- Made some space to display the newer and longer NLM version numbers in a nice
formatted manner.
New Features:
- Added /h command line parameter to include the hidden SET parameters in
listing
- Added GATEWAYS, HOSTNAME, SLP.CFG, TCPIP.CFG, CRONTAB files from SYS:ETC if
they exist
- Added /m command line parameter to include module info for directory listings
- Added /p command line parameter to list search paths, and list directory
contents for each of them
- Added more feedback to the console while writing the output file
- Added /e command line parameter to include basic NDS/eDirectory information
(tree name, server name, local partitions) and a categorized summary of
sys:_netware contents
- Added /r command line parameter to include replica ring info (name, type,
status) for local partitions
- Added time synchronization status
- Added volume segment details on NW5 and higher to produce an output similar
like on previous NetWare versions (logical partitions and volumes were not
linked together).
- Added product version level
- Added total and the free space on the DOS drive
- Added NSS statistics (specific XML files from _ADMIN:Manage_NSS) - ONLY to
XML output
- Added /c command line parameter to exclude copyright info on modules
- Added /x command line parameter to select the output format: XML or TXT.
- Added installed products list from PRODUCTS.DAT
- Added allocated memory count for loaded modules
- Added the command line parameters used to create the current output.
- Added code to test the existence of C:SERVER.EXE and D:SERVER.EXE when search
path reports no default value (we need to get the boot drive anyway)
- Displays a warning message when performing a directory search in the search
paths, as it could take a while on slower machines
- Modified default parameter values, based on internal beta results. SET
parameters are included, while copyright info is no longer there by default.
- Added code to show the segment list for every volume ... it is more useful to
catch spanned volumes this way.
- Added /f command line parameter: appending all NCF files from C: and
SYS:SYSTEM made optional. C:STARTUP.NCF and SYS:SYSTEM/AUTOEXEC.NCF are always
inserted, regardless of this parameter value.
- Added SERVER.EXE size and date to the boot drive section
- Added Media Manager Object Type for the detailed device output
- Added *.TAO (DirXML Driver cache files) and *.WBQ (DirXML Writeback queue
files) to the NDS/eDir filegroup section (RFEx)
- Added sys:_netware directory attributes
- Added processor numbers
