5722XE1 V5R4M0 IBM iSeries Access for Windows In this directory is a fix for V5R4M0 iSeries Access for Windows iSeries Navigator that is not in the SI24893 service pack: APAR SE26734: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT Wrong Shortcuts settings When a shortcut is created in iSeries Navigator, it is not saving correctly the user customization for that task This fix ONLY applies to V5R4M0 service pack SI24893. Please do not attempt to apply this fix to any other release of iSeries Access for Windows, or any other service pack level. If you need to contact Service about problems with this EXE, you should mention that you are using a version with a modification date/time of September 3, 2006 5:41 AM. This fix 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 file cwbunnav.exe on your client workstation. This file should be located in the iSeries Access for Windows target install directory (for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access) 2) Rename cwbunnav.exe to cwbunnav.bak. 3) Copy the fix version of cwbunnav.exe into the same directory. CAB replacement instructions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Place UB1.CAB and UB1.HDR from this directory in the iSeries Access for Windows installation image containing SI24893, replacing the existing files. NOTE: The installation image must contain service pack SI24893 (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 SI24893 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.
