1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
------------------------------
1.1 INSTALLING FROM AN iSeries SYSTEM
--------------------------------------
The following method would be used if you have received the iSeries
Access for Windows service pack through the iSeries PTF ordering process
either as an individual PTF order or as part of an OS/400 PTF
cumulative package.
Once this service pack has been applied to an iSeries
system with the LODPTF and APYPTF iSeries commands, it can be
installed on individual PC's with the
"Check Service Level" or "Install Service Pack" shortcuts
in the iSeries Access for Windows Service folder.
Check Service Level, controlled by the iSeries Access for Windows Properties
Service tab, will detect that the Service source directory has been
updated, and will present the user with the option to install the
service pack at startup time as well.
The APYPTF will update the iSeries Access for Windows install image directory
(\QIBM\ProdData\Access\Windows\Install\Image) on the
iSeries. Any client that installs iSeries Access for Windows (or selected
components) from this image will automatically receive this service
pack level (no extra steps or reboots). In this scenario, the
service pack cannot be uninstalled on the client PC
because it is merged in with the base release.
Running setupsp.bat from the iSeries Access for Windows install image
directory (\QIBM\ProdData\Access\Windows\Install\Image) will
launch the service pack install wizard. View setupsp.bat
via Notepad or Wordpad to see instructions on how to invoke setupsp.bat
to record or run a silent service pack install.
RMVPTF will restore your iSeries install image to the prior service
level (or the base release if there was no prior service pack
applied).
1.2 INSTALLING FROM A LOCAL OR NETWORK DRIVE
---------------------------------------------
The following method would be used if you have received the iSeries
Access for Windows service pack as a set of install image files
via a download from IBM's FTP site.
Install the service pack by running the "SETUP.EXE" program
from your PC. This program is part of the install image files
shipped with a service pack. If you change the iSeries Access for Windows
Properties Service tab Source Directory to the directory
containing these install image files, you can also use the "Check
Service Level" or "Install Service Pack" shortcuts in the iSeries
Access for Windows Service folder.
Before running this program, copy the service pack install image
files to a local drive on your PC or to any accessible network
drive. Once the install setup program has completed, you can then
remove the install image files from that drive.
1.3 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 tailored 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.
2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS/RESTRICTIONS
---------------------------------
2.1 iSeries SERVER FIXES
--------------------------
In addition to installing the iSeries Access for Windows Service Pack,
all servers should stay current on the latest Cumulative PTF Package, HIPER Group PTF,
and Database Group PTF. Refer to
IBM eServer iSeries Technical Support: Recommended fixes at
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/recommendedfixes
2.2 Application Development function within iSeries Navigator
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Application Development folder within
iSeries Navigator is being added back in V5R3
when the iSeries Navigator Network component
is installed. All help and panels associated
with Application Development functions will
appear in English language only.
To see the Application Development folder
within the iSeries Navigator hierarchy,
perform either of the following:
-- Selectively Install (or initially install)
the Network component of
iSeries Navigator from an installation image
containing V5R3 service pack SI11806 or newer.
-- If the Network component is already installed
on the PC, install service pack SI11806 or
newer to receive the Application Development
folder in the hierarchy.
Application Administration can be used to restrict
the display of the Application Development folder
to certain users or groups of users.
If secondary languages are installed on the PC,
the Application Development English help and
panels will be copied to each installed language
directory. If a subsequent secondary language is
installed, install service pack SI11806 or newer
to copy the Application Development English
help and panels into the new language directory.

APAR SE12606: CA400EXP-2-MSGCWBCF0005-F/CWBBACK CWBBACK FAILS WHEN DBCS INVOLVED
When the Japanese version of iSeries Access for Windows
is installed, running CWBBACK on Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, or Windows XP fails and displays the following
message:
CWBCF0005 - Backup of iSeries Access configuration has
failed.
even when logged on as an administrator of the PC. If the
environment name, in this case the Japanese equivalent of
"User Connection", is changed to the English text "My
Connections", (or probably any other string not containing
double-byte characters), the problem no longer occurs.
It is unknown whether this problem occurs only when
double-byte characters exist in an environment name. The
problem occurs because of the inconsistent behavior of a
Microsoft API, and may not occur on all systems, or even
on the same system at different times.
This PTF works around the inconsistent behavior of the
Microsoft API, and thus fixes the reported problem.
Because the exact behavior of this API in all scenarios is
unknown, no circumvention is guaranteed to permanently
work around the problem.
CIRCUMVENTION:
If the environment name, and possibly all other
configured names (such as system names), are changed
so they contain only single-byte characters, the
problem might no longer be experienced.
APAR SE13599: CA400EXP - Add 64 bit support to XDA Windows client
The XDA Windows client interface into the iSeries DB2/400
database does not support Windows 64-bit applications.
64-bit support has been added to the XDA Windows client to
support Windows 64-bit applications accessing the iSeries
DB2/400 database.
APAR SE13926: CA400EXP-CONNECTIONS-UNPRED NO CWBCFG KERBEROS SETTING
The cwbcfg utility provides a parameter for configuring
the signon mode of the connection being defined: /uid .
All signon modes may be set using this parameter except
the use of Kerberos.
The /uid parameter of cwbcfg now accepts the value
*KERBEROS
which configures the connection to use Kerberos for
authentication. For example:
cwbcfg /host server1 /uid *KERBEROS
creates a connection to server "server1" and configures it
for all users of the PC, and for the Default User, so that
Kerberos is used for authentication. Previously, the only
allowed values were *WINLOGON, *PROMPTALWAYS, and an actual
iSeries user ID.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although you can now configure the new
connection to use Kerberos, authenticating this way may not
work. One possible reason is that the new or changed
connection is configured only for accounts local to the
PC on which cwbcfg is run. Successful use of Kerberos
may require logging on to a domain, and local account
configuration information is not typically used for domain
logons. This is no different from the case in which a
user logs on to the local PC, then uses iSeries Navigator
to configure a connection to use Kerberos as the means of authentication.
APAR SE14941: CA400EXP-DTRANSFER Help not displayed
Help text is not displayed for Datatransfer objects when accessed
from a Visual Basic program.
APAR SE15016: SSL - Update default key database
A VeriSign Global Server Intermediate Root CA certificate has
expired on January 7, 2004. This CA certificate was included in the
default SSL key database shipped with the product.
Updated SSL key database files (cwbssldf.kdb and cwbssldf.sth)
will be provided by this service pack. The new files will only
be installed if the previous files are deleted or do not exist
in the Common Documents folder.
CIRCUMVENTION:
Go to VeriSign.com and download the new CA certificate.
https://www.verisign.com/support/site/caReplacement.html
APAR SE15205: CA400EXP - Incorrect data passed to database server
from XDA Windows client
The correct data is not getting sent to the database server
through the XDA Windows client, thus causing a MCH3601 error
message to get passed back from the database server.
The process of setting up the data buffer in the XDA Windows
client was updated to pass the correct data to the database server.
APAR SE15507: CA400EXP-OPCON-INCORROUT CWBOPAUT.DLL ERROR
Customer tries to open Operations Console and gets
a CWBOPAUT.DLL error.
Also, subsequent Check Service Level's will
fail with "Check Version cannot continue. Return code 08".
When Check Service Level is used to service or
upgrade iSeries Navigator Plugins via Selective
Setup, an erroneous key is written to the registry,
making it appear that the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
component is installed when it really is not.
Operations Console therefore fails looking for
the cwbopaut.dll that is only packaged with SSL.
Selective Setup is changed to not write out the
erroneous key anymore.
CIRCUMVENTION:
If the following key is present, with no key values
associated with it, it can be deleted from the
registry so that Operations Console will work properly:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\Client Access\
CurrentVersion\Selectively_Installable_Components\
Secure Sockets
Note: Only remove this key if the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) component of
iSeries Access for Windows has definitely not been installed.
APAR SE15715: CA400EXP-INCORROUT cwblmsrv background task not exiting
The background task cwblmsrv is not exiting properly.
The background task cwblmsrv will be fixed to always exit properly.
CIRCUMVENTION:
The extra cwblmsrv background tasks can be killed using Task Manager.
OPTIONAL COMPONENTS

iSeries NAVIGATOR
-----------------
APAR SE12438: CA400EXP-OPNAV-OUTPUT-INCORROUT CWBUN_GETPUBLICLISTOBJECT AP
cwbUN_GetPublicListObject API fails to return the correct spool
file ID when used in the iSeries Navigator 'Work Management'
node. The API works correctly in the 'Basic Operations' node.
APAR SE12441: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK-MSGCPI0954 CREATE DISK TO MAX ASP USE
Customer uses iSeries Navigator to create a disk drive for a
Windows server. iSeries Navigator shows a message that
indicates the maximum size that can be specified for the disk
drive. If the user specifies the maximum size that iSeries
Navigator indicates, then the ASP overflows and message CPI0954
is issued to QSYSOPR. The customer then must delete the disk
drive and recreate it using a smaller size. If the size that
they specify is still too large to fit in the ASP, message
CPI0954 is issued again and they must start over. It may take
several tries to get the disk drive size reduced enough so that
the ASP does not overflow. The customer wants iSeries Navigator
to give a better indication of the maximum disk drive size that
will fit in the ASP so that they can create a disk drive that
fills up the ASP without overflowing the ASP.
iSeries Navigator was incorrectly calculating the amount of
space that is available in the ASP. It showed a maximum disk
capacity value that was larger than the actual size that would
fit in the ASP. The maximum disk capacity calculation has been
adjusted to give a more accurate indication of the disk size
that will fit in the ASP.
APAR SE12774: CA400EXP-OPNAV-DBASE-INCORROUT CREATE NEW VIEW DIALOG MAY NO
When accessing the new view dialog from the libraries or
Database Navigator, files with a large number of fields may not
show the last field in that file when added to the top portion
of the dialog box.
CIRCUMVENTION:
You can see the last field by dropping the table
being added onto the bottom grid control of the
main New View dialog. Since this causes all
columns of the table to be added to the selection
list, you will need to remove any fields that
you don't want selected for the view being created.
APAR SE12976: CA400EXP-OPNAV-DBASE-INCORROUT PROMPTING FOR PASSWORD
Using the V5R2 iSeries Navigator's database plug-in and
selecting libraries would provide a window asking for a user ID
and password even though the connection was configured to use
the network ID and password. This prompt should not appear but
if it were responded to, the user would not be prompted again
for the remainder of the day.
APAR SE13504: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT LPAR Create wizard doesn't
use regional setting for shared procs
In the 'New logical partition wizard' at the step to move
processing power (after selecting shared processors), the
'amount to move' field does not use the delimiter as specified
on the client. The field appears to be hardcoded to have 0.00
in it. This causes problems in countries where regional options
on the client are set to use a comma (,) as the decimal symbol.
CIRCUMVENTION:
Change the '.' character to the correct regional character
before pressing the Move button.
APAR SE13614: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK Universal Connection Wizard modal to frame
During our testing we have found that, after the Universal
Connection Wizard is launched, the user is unable to access the
Universal Connection Wizard. The buttons in the window don't
work and the window cannot be moved. The window is unoperational.
This behavior is due to the fact
that the DocUpdateWizard that is launching the Universal
Connection Wizard is Modal while the Universal Connection Wizard
is non-Modal. This is causing the Universal Connection Wizard to hang.
The best solution for this would be to provide a way for the
Universal Connection Wizard to be launched as Modal.
Universal ConnectionWizard has been changed to have the
ability to make the wizard modal from a frame
APAR SE13616: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK-INCORROUT Leased lines line profile cannot be updated
Trying to update a Remote Access Profiles Leased Line profile
fails with irrelevant error messages.
APAR SE13629: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK Remote support authentication ids to allow connect
On the Authenticate locally using a validation list, Click Open
There is one id defined. IBMServiceiSeries@iecare1@ibm.com.
There should be multiple ids defined when the remote host is
V5R1, V5R2 or HMC. A different id is required.
Change has been made to add multiple ids for authentication
APAR SE14019: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK-INCORROUT File extensions corrupted on add share
File extensions for text converting that are added while
creating a new iSeries NetServer share are corrupted.
File extensions for text converting will now be added
correctly when creating a new iSeries NetServer share.
CIRCUMVENTION:
File extensions for text converting may be added without
corruption on a share that already exists. First create the
share without text converting, then change the share to enable
the text converting feature.
APAR SE14236: CA400EXP-OPNAV ISERIES NAVIGATOR HANG LISTING PRINTER OUTPUT
When opening iSeries Navigator, expand a system and click on
Users and groups --> All users --> Right click a user --> select
User Objects and select Printer Output, hangs, and iSeries
Navigator has to be killed from the Windows Task Manager.
APAR SE14383: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK Routes not added when configuring an ATT dial connection
Message that routes are not added when using the Universal
Connection Wizard to configure a dial ATT line. The qesdial
and qtocl2tp profiles are created, however, the qesdial does not
have the needed routes.
The workaround is to add the 3 routes manually to the qesdial profile.
207.25.252.200
207.25.252.196
165.87.194.246
Universal Connection Wizard has been changed to correctly handle this.
APAR SE14408: CA400EXP-OPNAV-FILESYS-PERFM LONG DELAYS WHEN MOVING MULTIPL
Long delays when trying to move files from one directory to another.
Improved speed of file copies and context
menu displays in File Systems hierarchy.
APAR SE14555: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK-INCORROUT DNS ENABLES ADD HOST
When the DNS is configured for Dynamic updates you are unable to
add host manually. When you stop the server, you have to close
the window and open it again in order to add a host manually.
Submenu items for Foward Lookup Zone, and Reverse Lookup Zone
nodes have been enabled when the server is stopped in order to
add a host manually.
APAR SE14558: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK-INCORROUT SMTP properties update fails
A null exception error occurs when trying to update SMTP
properties through iSeries Navigator. To the user, it appears
that iSeries Navigator is not doing anything when the OK button
is selected in SMTP Properties. The problem occurs when certain
SMTP attributes are not defined in the configuration file,
presumably after migration to a new release.
The SMTP changes are saved when you click ok, there was a record
retrieved with a null value. This might happen when the system
is migrated
APAR SE14569: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT MC Task Status window does not always paint
The Management Central Task Status window is not always
displaying the complete list of target endpoint systems for
tasks which involve a source system (eg. Send Users, Send Files, etc).
CIRCUMVENTION:
By forcing the Task Status window to repaint, such as by moving
another window on top of it, the list of target endpoint systems
should properly display.
APAR SE14570: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK UCW Qtocl2txx line decription wrong
On a second trip through the Universal connection wizard that
allows connections to pass through it creating QTOCL2Txx
receiver profiles. If an existing receiver profile is selected
on the second pass through the wizard, the name of the line
description the profile uses gets corrupted to an incorrect line.
Receiver profiles created in previous passes through the UCW
were also not showing up for re-use on the interface they were created on.
Updating the receiver profiles would cause loss or improper
setting of data in the receiver profile that was updated.
CIRCUMVENTION:
If data in the receiver L2TP profile is corrupted or set
incorrectly by the wizard, it can be corrected by entering the
profile (located at: network - remote access -
receiver connection profiles) and correcting the improperly set fields
to equal the profile name.
APAR SE14574: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT Changing Max graph value on graph history
takes two refreshes to take effect
On the Management Central Graph History panel, when adjusting
the "Maximum graphing value" or the "Graph interval", the
changes do not take effect until the Refresh button is pressed twice.
CIRCUMVENTION:
Pressing the Refresh button twice after changing the "Maximum
graphing value" or the "Graph interval" will force the graph to update.
APAR SE14585: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK UCW phone5 call list to phone4
For ATT dial profiles created with the universal connection
wizard, the phone numbers were initially planned to be pulled
from ATT's phone5 list. Phone5 will not be supported in v5r3,
this PTF reverts the GUI back to using the phone4 number list.
APAR SE14644: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK RAS PPP filter identifier list empty
Existing PPP filter identifiers are not showing up in Group
Policy -> TCP/IP Tab -> PPP filter identifier field. Same for
Remote Access Profile -> TCP/IP tab -> Advanced Button -> PPP
filter identifier field.
APAR SE14720: LIC-DISK-STG OPS NAV DISK POOLS DISPLAY PROBLEM
In Ops Nav, left click on Disk Pools then going to the View ->
Customize this View menu will allow us into the Columns menu. A
right click on Disk Pools then Customize this View shows the
Columns menu grayed out.
Other key word -> Geo Mirror DASD
Columns can now be customized from these panels.
APAR SE14734: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT CURRENT ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM/USER CAN NOT BE REMOVED
The current Administration system/user pair is not removed if
the system is taken out of service or if it is no longer
configured as the Administration system, therefore iSeries
Access keeps prompting for signon to the Administration System
at Windows logon when the scan frequency time has been expired.
APAR SE14800: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK-INCORROUT Webfacing settings not saved
On TCP/IP configuration properties, when the user goes to the
start tab and clicks on webfacing server. The selection is not saved.
When the user clicks on TCP/IP properties and goes to the start
tab and selects webfacing. Now the selection is saved. The
program wasn't getting the right string.
APAR SE14802: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK-INCORROUT Netserver Single Signon failing due to
uppercase keytab entries.
Single signon is failing for Netserver due to problems with the
Netserver Keytab entries created by the Network Authentication wizard.
The Network Authentication wizard will be updated so that the
uppercase Netserver keytab entries are no longer created. These
keytab entries begin with 'HOST/Q' and 'cifs/Q'. After applying
the service pack, rerun the Network Authentication configuration
wizard and these duplicate uppercase Netserver entries will be removed.
APAR SE14914: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT Capabilities->Auditing page must be
hidden for non-administrators
When accessing the Capabilities->Auditing tab from the user
profile properties under My Connections, an "internal error"
message is displayed if the iSeries Navigator user is lacking
both the *ALLOBJ and *AUDIT special authorities. This page
should be hidden from the user.
CIRCUMVENTION:
The "internal error" message does not impair the user's ability
to work with the rest of the user profile properties. It can be ignored.
APAR SE14968: CA400EXP-OPNAV- PRINTER OUTPUT ACTION ERROR IN OUTQ SHORTCUT
An error is generated when you double click on a printer
output file that is located in an output queue shortcut.
The file may also not have any actions displayed in its context menu.
APAR SE14983: CA400EXP-OPNAV-NETWORK-INCORROUT QoS Configuration GUI ignores subnet mask input
when creating a new Client object
When creating a new Client object in the QoS configuration
wizard, it allows you to specify IP address and subnet mask.
But when I put in a subnet mask of something other than the
default of 24 bits (255.255.255.0) it ignores that input and
creates the object as an IP address range using a subnet mask of
24 bits (255.255.255.0).
APAR SE15045: CA400EXP-OPNAV User registration is not working
Service Agent user registration fails using iSeries Navigator.
NOTE: In order for this fix works properly you need to install
PTF SI13239 for the OS/400 operating system (5722SS1) or one
that supersedes it in the iSeries server that is specified as
Management Central system.
APAR SE15048: CA400EXP-OPNAV ESA Verifiy connection to IBM is hung
Verifying connection to IBM window is hung
NOTE: In order for this fix works properly you need to install
PTF SI13239 for the OS/400 operating system (5722SS1) or one
that supersedes it in the iSeries server that is specified as
Management Central system.
APAR SE15049: CA400EXP-OPNAV ESA Subsystem jobs window
The Active Jobs in Electronic Service Agent Subsystem window
doesn't display any job even though there are Service Agent jobs active.
APAR SE15050: CA400EXP-OPNAV ESA License not displayed for any release
The License Agreement is not shown in Electronic Service Agent
History window for any release.
The License Agreement will be shown in Electronic Service Agent
History window for releases previous to V5R3.
APAR SE15052: CA400EXP-OPNAV-AUTHLIST-INCORROUT Need to display description of Authority lists
in iSeries Navigator Window
Description field for Authorization Lists does not contain the
QSYS description of the authorization list.
APAR SE15081: CA400EXP-OPNAV-UNPRED Moving node up to be primary in Recov. Domain doesn't
show entire line moving & "ineligible" node status
With a three-node cluster resource group (CRG), moving a node
from the 2nd backup position in the recovery domain table to the
primary position does not work correctly. The first move from
the 2nd backup position to the 1st backup position works
correctly, but the move from 1st backup position to the primary
position does not.
Also, "Ineligible" status is not appearing for the nodes.
This only works incorrectly when there are more than two nodes
in the recovery domain.
The "Ineligible" status is currently shown as English only and
will be translated in a future release.
APAR SE15105: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT When adding a data port ip address fails, the
address still shows up in the gui like it was successful
When adding an invalid data port IP address to the cluster
resource group's recovery domain it correctly fails. However,
if CANCEL is then pressed, the IP address will show up in the
recovery domain table as if it was successful.
There is also a problem with trying to correct the IP address.
The following message will be presented "A site name must be
identified when adding the first IP address." This is an
incorrect message because the site name already exists.
The dataport IP address was not really added to the recovery
domain, but the GUI believes that it has. A refresh of the
recovery domain will show the correct data.
Although the GUI does not remember the site name, it is indeed
still identified in the Recovery Domain.
APAR SE15106: CA400EXP-OPNAV-PERFM Occasional Hangs during make available
Make Available occasionally does not complete and warnings are
received. They do complete, but panels do not go away and a new
action cannot be taken.
Actions will no longer hang when multiple warning messages are received.
APAR SE15122: CA400WINOPT-OPNAV Support new hardware for V5R3M0 on Graphical Views
No graphical views for the new hardware.
Graphical views added. Requires PTF 5722999 MF32576 as well.
APAR SE15148: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT Cannot Display Disk Pool
Properties Of Mirrored IASP
When Disk Pools are geographically mirrored, if you look at the
Disk Pool properties for the same pool on the primary system
and the mirror copy (only the first is displayed). Viewing them
individually is OK.
APAR SE15212: CA400EXP-OPNAV-DBASE-INCORROUT SCHEMA STARTS WITH @ # $
When a schema whose name start with the @, #, or $ character is
typed into the "Enter schema names" input field, the "Select
Schemas to Display" dialog will not add the schema to the list.
If the schema name is more than 8 characters in length, the
following messages may accompany the error:
- Access is denied
- Data truncation (SQL State: 01004 Vendor Code: 0)
This also affects Database Navigator and the "Browse Columns"
dialog, if such a schema is contained in the user's list of
schemas. The error message may appear, and the schemas that
begin with these characters will not appear in the list of schemas.
Schemas whose names begin with @, # and $ are now handled properly.
CIRCUMVENTION:
In the "Select Schemas to Display" dialog, use "Search for

APAR SE15282: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT Consolidated Hardware File saved
to incorrect path
We found a problem with the data that iSeries Navigator
generates, because it creates a file in this path:
/QIBM/UserData/OS400/ServiceAgent/ and the file name is
Collection. But Service Agent's design indicates that Service
Agent will use this path:
/QIBM/UserData/OS400/ServiceAgent/Collection/ - thus
there is a conflict to create that file, because that path
exists as a directory. Service Agent uses that path to save the
files contained in the instructions to submit the Management
Central API.
We put the new Consolidated Hardware File in
/QIBM/UserData/OS400/ServiceAgent/Collection/ConsHwdInf.xml

There currently is a timing window that exists that causes the
Directory Server propertysheet to hang when clicking a
propertysheet tab or the OK button. This fix will allow an
administrator to cancel the directory
server update without having to end iSeries Navigator. It also
adds some code that reduces the chances of encountering the

The Application Development folder within
iSeries Navigator is being added back in V5R3
when the iSeries Navigator Network component
is installed. All help and panels associated
with Application Development functions will

perform either of the following:
-- Selectively Install (or initially install)
the Network component of
iSeries Navigator from an installation image
containing V5R3 service pack SI11806 or newer.
-- If the Network component is already installed
on the PC, install service pack SI11806 or
newer to receive the Application Development

Application Administration can be used to restrict
the display of the Application Development folder
to certain users or groups of users.
If secondary languages are installed on the PC,
the Application Development English help and

APAR SE15527: osp - Deleting a data port IP address fails
In Geo Mirroring when trying to remove a Data Port IP address
from a site, we got the error message that "The site name must
also be deleted when deleting the last data port IP address".
However we were not deleting the last IP address.
The code incorrectly believes that that one of the ip addresses
is removed, even though it failed. This causes a problem when
there are two remaining ip addresses and the code believes there
is only one, so it does not allow the removal of another ip
address without removing the site name along with it. If a user
tries to do what the message says, it will also fail because the
API itself will not allow it.
APAR SE15528: CA400EXP-OPNAV-INCORROUT Removing a node in a recovery domain

When there are two nodes in the recovery domain of a CRG and you
remove the primary node, the second node information is shifted

APAR SE13347: CA400EXP-ODBC-UNPRED SQLCOLATTRIBUTES SQL_COLUMN_SEARCHABLE
After a successful SQLTables call that has an empty result set,
an attempt to call SQLColAttributes SQL_COLUMN_SEARCHABLE
returns a 30030 error as the return code. Trying to get the
error information returns no data. There is no message returned
to the application or logged. A Detail trace is required to
pinpoint the driver problem.
APAR SE14242: CA400EXP-ODBC-MSGCPF5035 OVERLAY OF PARAMETER DATA ON SECON
Applications call the ODBC API SQLBindParameter to bind data for
parameter markers. The ParameterType and ColumnSize options on
the SQLBindParameter call allow a user to specify values that
correspond to the server field's data type and size. If a user
specifies data types that don't match well with the server
field, problems can occur.
In one scenario, the following sequence of steps resulted in a
syntax error:
1. SQLBindParameter called with bad information for
ParameterType and ColumnSize
2. SQLPrepare
3. SQLExecute works successfully
4. SQLBindParameter called with bad information for
ParameterType and ColumnSize
5. SQLExecute returns a syntax error
APAR SE14415: CA400EXP-ODBC-INCORROUT - RETURN TIME, DATE, TIMESTAMP AS SQL_CHAR
The ODBC-defined data type for date (SQL_TYPE_DATE), time
(SQL_TYPE_TIME), and timestamp (SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP) do not allow
for all possible iSeries date, time, and timestamp values to be
returned in them. For example, with an iSeries time value of
24:00:00, the ODBC data type of SQL_TYPE_TIME can not handle
this as it is defined for the largest possible time to be
23:59:59. To give a way for an application to work with those
fields more easily, an enhancement is necessary so that the ODBC
driver reports those fields as SQL_CHAR.
APAR SE14963: CA400EXP SQLEXTENDEDFETCH RETURNS PWS0001 RETURNING DATA FRO
An ODBC application calls SQLTables and uses the
SQLExtendedFetch API to retrieve the rows in the result set.
When SQLExtendedFetch is called and there are no more rows left
to retrieve, the driver should return SQL_NO_DATA_FOUND, but
instead returns a PWS0001 message.
APAR SE15056: CA400EXP-ODBC-INCORROUT - OVERRIDE PASSWORD ENHANCEMENT
When connecting with ODBC and your password is expired on the
server, an error or a dialog asking the user to change the
password is returned to the application. To avoid the error and
possible dialog, an enhancement is being provided to allow an
application to programmatically change the user's password.
An example scenario on how this might be used is listed below:
The application calls SQLDriverConnect with the
SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT DriverCompletion option and the userid (UID
keyword) and password (PWD keyword) specified in the connection
string. Since the userid and password combination is expired,
an error (SQL_ERROR) is returned to the application. No prompts
are returned because of the SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT option.
The application calls SQLError (or SQLGetDiagRec) to get back
the NativeError. If the native error is 8003 then this is the
case where the userid/password combination was expired.
The application calls SQLDriverConnect with the userid (UID
keyword), current password (PWD keyword), and the new password
(NEWPWD keyword) specified in the connection string. The driver
will change the password for that user profile to the new
password if the current password is valid.
APAR SE15502: CA400EXP-ODBC-INCORROUT - FIX SQLPROCEDURECOLUMNS ISSUES
THAT COULD CAUSE FAULTS
Two different scenarios exist that could cause access violations
when SQLProcedureColumns is called. These two scenarios are:
- if the library name specified as an argument to

- if SQLProcedureColumns is called and SQLExtendedFetch (or
SQLFetchScroll) is called to retrieve the data.
OLE DB PROVIDER
---------------
APAR SE14470: CA400EXP-OLEDB-INCORROUT ZERO LENGTH PARAMETER DATA INCORREC
OLEDB is incorrectly padding for a zero length string
given for parameter data. In this case the parameter
is described as graphic CCSID 13488(UNICODE). OLEDB
sends the parameter data to the host indicating the
data is in CCSID 13488 but the actual data is all
X'40's. It appears that the padded data is in EBCDIC
rather than UNICODE. This only occurs on a zero
length string. If any real data is given then the
rest of the string is padded correctly. This can
cause incorrect data to be inserted, updated, etc.

APAR SE13984: CA400EXP IDB2DATA MSGSQL0501 Cursor not open error
The application calls ExecuteReader() on a command that
does not return a result set. The application receives an
iDB2SqlErrorException whose .Message property shows an SQL0501
Cursor not open error. This error could also happen when
calling .Update() on an iDB2DataAdapter.
CIRCUMVENTION:
Use ExecuteNonQuery() instead of ExecuteReader() when your
command does not return a result set. If this error occurs on
an Update() of an iDB2DataAdapter, disable pre-fetch by
appending the following to the iDB2Connection's
ConnectionString: EnablePreFetch=false;
APAR SE13985: CA400EXP IDB2DATA INCORROUT iDB2CommandBuilder fails
with table created using DDS
The application creates a table using DDS. The table contains a
UNIQUE constraint, so the iDB2CommandBuilder should be able to
build statements for the command. Instead, the application
receives an InvalidOperationException saying the Select
statement does not contain a unique key or identifier column.
APAR SE13986: CA400EXP IDB2DATA INCORROUT DeriveParameters not setting Size
and IsNullable
The application creates an iDB2Command and calls
DeriveParameters(). The resulting parameters do not have their
.Size and .IsNullable properties set correctly for character and
binary data types.
APAR SE14008: CA400EXP IDB2DATA INCORROUT DeriveParameters not setting ParameterName
An application creates an iDB2Command and sets the CommandType
to StoredProcedure. The application then calls
DeriveParameters() on the command. The resulting command
parameters do not have their ParameterName set correctly.
APAR SE15169: CA400EXP IDB2DATA .NET traces and logs sometimes do not work
When using the IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries provider with
cwbmptrc tracing or logging turned on, sometimes the
.NET provider's traces and logs do not work. This can happen
because the default location of the provider's
trace and log files are in a directory that is not
writeable for every user or application.
This PTF avoids the reported problem by changing the default
location of the .NET provider's trace and log files. If the
application has already experienced this problem, it will be
necessary to use the method listed in the Circumvention to
change the location of the trace and log files to a path that is
writeable by all users / applications.
CIRCUMVENTION:
To avoid this problem, use cwbmptrc with the -tf and -lf options
to set the trace and log file names to point to a location that
is writeable by all users.
APAR SE15170: CA400EXP IDB2DATA Fix several problems with .NET provider
Several problems are reported with the IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries
.NET data provider:
1. When using the iDB2DataReader.GetSchemaTable method (which
is used by the iDB2CommandBuilder), sometimes fields are
incorrectly identified as being part of a unique key,
when they should not be. This can happen when a Select
statement does not include all of the key columns in a
key which spans more than one column. This results in the
iDB2CommandBuilder building Update and Delete statements
that could update more than one row. Instead, this
condition should cause the iDB2CommandBuilder to throw an
InvalidOperationException because the Select statement
does not contain a complete unique key. To ensure the most
accurate results from iDB2DataReader.GetSchemaTable and
iDB2CommandBuilder, the iSeries host should also have the
most recent Database Group PTFs installed.
2. Another problem affecting iDB2DataReader.GetSchemaTable
occurs when iDB2DataReader.NextResult is used to move to
the next result. The FieldCount was not being reset to
reflect the next result's field count. This results
in either incorrect information or an exception occurring
when GetSchemaTable is called on the next result. Also,
if ExecuteReader() is called more than once for the same
command, and NextResult() is used to move to the next
result set, incorrect results could occur.
3. A problem occurs when using the Database or InitialCatalog
option in the ConnectionString to connect to *SYSBAS.
When the iDB2Connection.Open method is called, the
application may erroneously receive an
iDB2ConnectionFailedException.
4. The iDB2Connection.ChangeDatabase method can now be
called without an exception being generated, for cases
where the Database is being set to the currently-connected database.
5. Improved detection of communication errors and SQL0901
errors results in a pooled connection being recycled instead of reused.
6. A new method is added: iDB2DataReader.HasRows().
This method can be called to determine if the iDB2DataReader
returned any rows.
7. iDB2DataReader.NextResult sometimes returns 'false' even
when there are more results.
8. A final change is made to remove the public constructor
for the iDB2ParameterCollection class. The parameter
collection is always associated with an iDB2Command and
should not be created by an application.

APAR SE13991: CA400EXP-TERMEMUL-UNPRED FUNCTION AND ENTER KEYS INTERMITTEN
While working normally in a PC5250 session Function and Enter
keys go unresponding. The reason for this could be a break
message. While the user is typing normally, they get a break
message. The screen changes to display the break message. The
user is unaware of the break message screen and keeps typing.
They notice the break message only after an operator error
happens (i.e. a ding is heard). They hit the reset/arrow key to
clear the error on OIA. Since an operator error occurred, a
couple of internal PC5250 flags get set. These flags should get
reset when the user hits the reset or arrow key. But in the
problematic scenario only one of the flag is getting reset.
Everytime a user hits a key, these flags are checked to see if
the keys can be sent to the host or not. If the flags are not
set then keys are sent. Since one of the flag is still set
(indicating an error), the keys are not sent. Because of this
the user experiences Function and Enter keys go unresponding.

password expiration interval is set to *NOMAX.
Usage
You must successfully call cwbCO_VerifyUserIDPassword,
cwbCO_Signon, or cwbCO_Connect before calling
cwbCO_GetPasswordExpireDate. (Note: CWB_INV_BEFORE_VALIDATE can
represent a successful call, if the user profile password is set
to never expire (*NOMAX) ) If you want to ensure that the value
that is returned is recent, you either must call
cwbCO_VerifyUserIDPassword explicitly, or set the Validate Mode
to CWBCO_VALIDATE_ALWAYS before you call cwbCO_Signon or cwbCO_Connect.

4.0 INSTALL/UNINSTALL CONSIDERATIONS
-------------------------------------
The following sections describe additional support and known
problems that you may notice while using the Install/Uninstall
function.
4.1 REMOVING THE SERVICE PACK
------------------------------
To remove this service pack from your PC (if the service pack
was originally installed with the Enable Service Pack Uninstall option):
1. Click the Windows Start button, click on Settings, and then
click on Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
3. Click on the Change or Remove Programs button (if necessary),
then find and click on the
IBM iSeries Access for Windows SI13587 item, and then click on the
Change/Remove button.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
4.2 UNABLE TO INSTALL FROM THE SERVICE SOURCE?
-----------------------------------------------
InstallShield is the tool used to provide the install support
for iSeries Access for Windows. The same tool is used
for installing service packs. Setup.exe has a 2 minute
timeout to initialize to the first wizard panel,
which could expire when installing service packs over
very slow communication lines.
If installing from a CD or a faster connection is not possible,
then the service pack could be installed in this manner:
1) A setting exists on the iSeries Access for Windows Properties
Service tab that will copy the service pack image to the
PC's temporary directory, install the service pack, then
remove the copied files. To use this support you will
need to specify this setting ("Copy install image to PC
before installing").
2) Run Check Service Level (either from the
IBM iSeries Access for Windows Service folder shortcut or
when Check Service Level runs at system boot on
its defined schedule)
STATUS:
No status information is displayed while the files are
copied. To determine if the transfers are progressing, look
in the 'CA400CKV' temporary directory (beneath
the PC temporary directory, for example
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp).
You should see new files appear periodically.
3) Proceed through the Service Pack install wizard to
complete the install.
4.3 SERVICE PACK CONTROL
-------------------------
To prevent users from installing the Service Pack, an
administrator can use the SP.TXT file. If the administrator
places a file named SP.TXT (with a 'N' in the first position of
the first line) in the service pack installation image directory,
the service pack will not be installed.
5.0 DATA TRANSFER CONSIDERATIONS
---------------------------------
The following sections describe additional support or known
problems that you may notice while using the Data Transfer
function.
5.1 TRANSFERRING DATA WHEN THE FILE OR DATA CCSID IS 65535
-----------------------------------------------------------
WHY DOES MY DATA LOOK LIKE GARBAGE WHEN I PERFORMED A DOWNLOAD?
By default, the Data Transfer function will not convert data between
EBCDIC and ASCII if the data is tagged with a CCSID of 65535. In
older versions of the Win 95/NT Client Access product, the 65535
conversion was controlled by the CWBTFR.INI file. This process
has been changed, and the conversion is now controlled by the
Data Transfer user interface. Once the setting has been made in the
user interface, it is then stored in the transfer request. This is
only true for .TTO and .TFR files. .RTO and .DT files are still
controlled by the CWBTFR.INI file. The conversion setting for .RTO
and .DT files can be modified in the Data Transfer user interface,
but the setting will not be saved.
The setting to control the conversion is found in the File,
Properties information.
WARNING: This feature is designed as a workaround for people that
can not change the CCSID of their files. In order for this
translation to work properly, you must be confident the
data in the file matches the CCSID of your user profile.
The design of the iSeries is that data with a 65535 CCSID
are not to be converted. This feature will attempt to do a
conversion of the data from the job CCSID to the PC CCSID.
This conversion may not work if the data in the file does
not match the user profile/job CCSID.
The correct solution to this problem is to appropriately tag the data
with the correct CCSID. One way of doing this is by using CHGPF.
For more information on the 65535 CCSID, please reference the
iSeries National Language Support Manual.
