INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: The PARTS LIST is as follows: SHIPPED (fn ft) REPLACES appn.sys x:\winnt\system32\drivers\appn.sys appnapi.sys x:\winnt\system32\drivers\appnapi.sys appnbase.sys x:\winnt\system32\drivers\appnbase.sys llc2.sys x:\winnt\system32\drivers\llc2.sys winnof32.dll x:\winnt\system32\winnof32.dll winrui32.dll x:\winnt\system32\winrui32.dll appcmsg.dll x:\winnt\system32\appcmsg.dll pcs_perf.dll x:\winnt\system32\pcs_perf.dll instfix.bat jr14196.txt (this readme file) where "x:\winnt" is the path where the Windows NT operating system is installed. Installing the fix on the system: 1) Be SURE you have downloaded the JR14196.exe in BINARY format. 2) Create a temporary directory and copy JR14196.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! This is an APAR fix, so 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) Run the INSTFIX.BAT file specifying as parameters the path where CSNT is installed and the path where Windows NT is installed. For example, you might type: INSTFIX.BAT c:\ibmcs c:\winnt and then press Enter. This batch file will rename the CSNT files being replaced, copy in the new files, and update the server's registry to take advantage of the new files. The previous versions of the files will have ".preJR14196" appended to their filenames to make them unique. 5) Shutdown and Restart the CS/NT server machine. 6) Restart your CS/NT node.
