INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: JR10368.EXE is a self-extracting file containing the shipped executable and JR10368.TXT (this file). The PARTS LIST is as follows: SERVICES.EXE JR10368.TXT Installing the fix on the system: 1) Be SURE you have downloaded JR10368.EXE in BINARY format. 2) Create a Temp directory and copy JR10368.EXE into the temporary directory and unzip it. 3) Stop Communications Server for Windows NT (including your node, Node Operations, Node Configuration, Log Viewer, and any other CS/NT components you have started). Note that there may still be CS/NT-related services running on the machine after stopping these applications, but this is normal and will not affect the installation of this fix package. 4) Backup your existing version of the SERVICES.EXE file 5) Copy the new SERVICES.EXE from the temporary directory to the directory where CS/NT is installed. 6) Delete and then recreate the CS/NT services by running the new SERVICES.EXE from a command prompt as follows: a) From the directory where CS/NT is installed, run: services.exe c:\ibmcs /d where "c:\ibmcs" is the directory where CS/NT is installed. The "/d" parameter causes the program to delete all services that may have been created by the CS/NT installation program. You will receive a message that the services were successfully removed. b) Shut Down and Restart the CS/NT server machine before continuing to step c. You may receive a message saying that at least one service or driver failed during system startup. Press OK to acknowledge the message. c) When the machine has restarted, from the directory where CS/NT is installed, run: services.exe c:\ibmcs /c where "c:\ibmcs" is the directory where CS/NT is installed. The "/c" parameter causes the program to create the CS/NT services. 7) Shut Down and Restart the CS/NT server machine.
