IBM Communications Server for Windows provides SNA connectivity for Windows systems, allowing it to connect to IBM z/OS Communications Server and other SNA implementations that support LLC, SDLC, X.25, Channel, and Enterprise Extender connections.
CS/WIN Version 6.1.3 FixPack 1 is an upgrade that includes FixPack 1 updates. Is is not a full install, and requires that V 6.1.3 is installed at GA level. Only fixpacks greater than FixPack 1 should be installed after this installation.
This document contains information supplementary to the online help and the publications. It describes such things as newly-added functions, hints, tips, restrictions, and corrections.
Thank you for choosing Communications Server!

The package will expand and create a sub-directory for the NLS updates for each supported CS/WIN language.
NLS_INSTFIX.BAT file
for specific usage instructions. For example:
NLS_INSTFIX (no parameters; environment variables will be used)NLS_INSTFIX > nlsfp1.txt 2>&1 (silent install)NLS_INSTFIX "C:\Program Files\IBM\Communications Server" (specify the directory)NLS_INSTFIX "C:\Program Files\IBM\Communications Server" > nlsfp1.txt 2>&1 (silent install, specify directory)NOTE: NLS_INSTFIX.BAT checks if a PCOMM version less than 5.7 CSD3 is installed and if true, does not update the Trace Facility. CS/WIN 6.1.3 would use the Trace Facility installed by PCOMM. If you have installed PCOMM 5.7 CSD3 or PCOMM 5.8 on CS/WIN 6.1.3, PCOMM will not install its Trace Facility. In this case, NLS_INSTFIX will update the CS/WIN 6.1.3 Trace Facility.
If versions of PCOMM prior to 5.7 CSD3 are installed, you will not have any of the CS/WIN 6.1.3 Trace Facility updates or enhancements.

| New function added in FixPack 1 | |
| Transaction Program Synchronization enhancement | |
| 1. | Previous version of Communication Server for Windows supports only three (Any, None & Confirm ) synchronization level. Added two more synchronization (SYNCPT Negotiable and SYNCPT Required ) to the transaction program definition. # SYNCPT Negotiable The transaction program supports a synchronization level of None, Confirm, or Sync-point. # SYNCPT Required The transaction program supports a synchronization level of Sync-point. The required synchronization level can be selected, when defining the Transaction Program from the basic panel of Node configuration application. |
| Snaformat enhance to format the Control Vector (X'82') | |
| 1. | The snaformat tools is been updated to format the CV'82' Subarea characteristics subfields, the formated trace will be presented in the .det file. |
To expand SERVER package run SERVER1.EXE which will generate a Server sub-dir including all server package files. There will also be registrychange.exe, servicestest.exe, killpcs_agnt.exe and instfix.bat in current directory but only required for the package installation.
The Trace Facility is installed on the user-designated drive, but the registry is incorrectly updated to reflect the BOOT drive for the new trace service CSTRCSER.EXE. To correct this, modify the registry to reflect the correct drive for the service CSTRCSER.EXE.
Use regedit to update value for the IMAGEPATH key under
\HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\CSTRCSER\
to the correct CSTRCSER.EXE path location.
If versions of PCOMM prior to 5.7 CSD3 are installed, you will not have any of the CS/WIN 6.1.3 Trace Facility updates or enhancements.
There is a problem with some versions of PCOMM prior to 5.7 CSD3 where using ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS to remove PCOMM removes the Service APPNNODE from the REGISTRY. CS will NOT run successfully without this registry entry. While this problem has been resolved in later PCOMM versions you can do the following to address the problem.
The recommended procedure in this situation is as follows:
INSTFIX.BAT can be run with the following options to preserve output to a log file, such as for silent install including errors in the log.
INSTFIX > FIX_PACK_1.TXT 2>&1
NOTE 1: INSTFIX.BAT issues
"NET STOP APPNNODE" to stop APPNNODE Services.
"NET STOP LDLCSERV" to stop LDLCSERV Services.
"CSTRACE STOP" and "CSTRACE SHUTDOWN" to stop CSTRCSER trace Service.
NOTE 2: INSTFIX will rename the current or target files being replaced to &file.pre6131, then copy the updated files.
If for some reason you rerun INSTFIX.BAT, you will receive errors during each rename because the &file.pre6131 file will already exist.The original copy of the file will be preserved in &file.pre6131 and available as a backup for restore purposes.
If for some reason you need to restore or backout this fixpack, you would have to manually rename the updated file names and restore the original files.
NOTE 3: INSTFIX.BAT issues VER to determine 2000 version.
For Windows 2000 user, INSTFIX.BAT will copy
APPNBASE.SYS as APPNBASE.SYS
LLC2W2K.sys as LLC2.SYS
NOTE 4: After all the files are copied, INSTFIX.BAT automatically issues
"SERVICESTEST -c LDLCSERV" command to initialize LDLCSERV service.
"NET START LDLCSERV" to start LDLCSERV service.
NOTE 5: The default value of the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\Communications Server\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber
will be changed to 6131.

| New function added in FixPack 1 | |
| APPC Cancel Conversation support | |
| 1. |
The CANCEL_CONVERSATION verb is a control verb that will cancel a connection between a local LU and partner LU using a specific transaction program (tp_id) and a conversation (conv_id).
The definition of the VCB structure for the CANCEL_CONVERSATION verb is as follows:
typedef struct cancel_conversation
{
unsigned short opcode; /* verb operation code */
unsigned char opext; /* verb extension code */
unsigned char format; /* format */
unsigned short primary_rc; /* primary return code */
unsigned long secondary_rc;/* secondary return code */
unsigned char tp_id[8]; /* TP identifier */
unsigned long conv_id; /* conversation identifier */
} CANCEL_CONVERSATION;
Please refer the Client/Server programming guide for usage of this verb.
