5722XE1 V5R3M0 IBM iSeries Access for Windows In this directory are fixes for V5R3M0 iSeries Access for Windows PC5250 that are not in the SI24723 service pack. These fixes ONLY apply to V5R3M0 service pack SI24723. Please do not attempt to apply these fixes to any other release of iSeries Access for Windows, or any other service pack level. APAR SE26231: OSP MACRO PREFIX WITH SPACE WITH NOT SHOW OTHER MACRO'S WITH Problem Summary: Macro's with space in name do not show other macro's with the same prefix before the Space. Example: aaa.mac aaa a.mac or aaa.mac aaa-a.mac The aaa.mac does not show in both cases. If you use the underscore it will show at times. This problem is fixed in the file named pcswkbd.dll, which is available here either as an individual file or as part of emusbas1.cab; see below for details. If you need to contact Service about issues with this you should mention that you are using a version of pcswkbd.dll with a file version of 5070.10.4071.845, APAR SE26558: CA400EXP-TERMEMUL-INCORROUT CURSOR POSITION IS INCORRECT AFT Problem Summary: After applying a service pack, the PC5250 cursor position jumps to the upper left hand corner after pressing the enter key. Service packs in which this behavior started are as follows: - V5R3 service pack SI24723 - V5R4 service packs SI23696 and SI24893 This problem is fixed in the file named pcslt52.dll, which is available here either as an individual file or as part of emusbas1.cab; see below for details. If you need to contact Service about issues with this you should mention that you are using a version of pcslt52.dll with a file version of 5070.50.6180.657. These fixes may be applied using two different methods. The fastest method is to use file replacement. This method replaces the file or files on a PC with those that contain fixes. The second method, CAB replacement, replaces CAB and HDR files on the server. With CAB replacement the service pack must be re-installed on each client PC, but PC's installing iSeries Access for Windows for the first time will pick up the fix automatically. PC's installing the service pack for the first time will also pick up the fix. File replacement instructions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Locate the files pcswkbd.dll and pcslt52.dll on your client workstation. These files should be located in the iSeries Access for Windows Emulator directory (for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\Emulator). 2) Rename pcswkbd.dll to pcswkbd.bak, and rename pcslt52.dll to pcslt52.bak. 3) Copy the fix version of pcswkbd.dll and pcslt52.dll into the same directory. CAB replacement instructions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Place EMUSBAS1.CAB and EMUSBAS1.HDR from this directory in the iSeries Access for Windows installation image containing SI24723, replacing the existing files. NOTE: The installation image must contain service pack SI24723 (either as a standalone service pack image, or as a combined installation image created via APYPTF or using PTFFORM.EXE) 2) A user can then install or upgrade iSeries Access for Windows from a combined image. ** OR ** A user can install service pack SI24723 from either a combined or standalone image. ****************************************************************************** The following is provided if you would like additional information on combined installation images: COMBINING THE SERVICE PACK WITH AN iSeries ACCESS FOR WINDOWS INSTALLATION IMAGE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following method could be used if you downloaded the service pack image from the iSeries Access for Windows web page location: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/clientaccess/casp.htm The iSeries Access for Windows service pack PTFs are combined with the original iSeries Access for Windows installation image in QIBM\ProdData\Access\Windows\Install\Image NOTE: this directory is a symbolic link to QIBM\ProdData\CA400\Express\Install\Image There is one physical directory - either of these paths will access the directory. This means that a user can install (or upgrade) iSeries Access for Windows from this combined image directory and get the latest applied service level automatically in one integrated step - since the original installation image files have been replaced by updated versions via the service pack PTF. Selectively installing components from this combined image directory will also automatically get the latest applied service level for that component. If you tailor the iSeries Access for Windows install image to another directory (for instance, on another server), using the Create Tailored Installation Image (cwbinimg.bat) tool, you can use the PTFFORM.EXE download in the FTP directory to duplicate the function of applying the iSeries PTF by following these steps: 1. Download PTFFORM.EXE (from the tailored/ FTP directory) to a temporary directory. 2. Run PTFFORM.EXE to expand the service pack files and copy them into an iSeries Access for Windows installation image directory, replacing any existing files. 3. Delete PTFFORM.EXE after it has completed its processing. Now you have combined this service pack level with the iSeries Access for Windows installation image, so that users can install iSeries Access for Windows plus this service pack in one integrated step. Note that this procedure also works if the installation image has already been combined with a prior service pack level. This procedure will replace the prior service level in the combined image with this new level. Alternatively, if you have a full copy of the original iSeries Access for Windows install image in a directory, you can combine PTFFORM.EXE with this full image, using the same 3-step procedure detailed above. Then you can run Create Tailored Installation Image (cwbinimg.bat) from this full image directory, to create tailored image directories that will automatically have the service pack merged in.
