Since the retry is only 3, some of the socket requests can be denied all 3 times and the corresponding lu will not activiate. IPPMM.DLL was changed to handle a larger queue of connection requests. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: JR13201.exe is a self-extracting file containing the shipped executables. The PARTS LIST is as follows: SHIPPED (fn ft) REPLACES ippmm.dll c:\ibmcs\ippmm.dll jr13201.txt (this readme file) Installing the fix on the system: 1) Be SURE you have downloaded jr13201.exe file in BINARY format. 2) Create a Temp directory and copy jr13201.exe into the temporary directory and run the file to uncompress 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. IMPORTANT! If this is an APAR fix, carefully compare the dates of the parts supplied with this APAR fix with the dates of the parts you are replacing. If ANY of the parts being replaced are more recent than the parts shipped with this APAR discontinue the installation of this fix and contact Customer Support for clarification. 4) Backup your existing version of ippmm.dll using the ren command, e.g. "ren ippmm.dll *.*.prejr13201". 5) Copy the new version of the file from the temporary directory to the directory where CS/NT is installed. 6) Shutdown and Restart the CS/NT server machine. 7) Restart your CS/NT node.
