Before You Update MERVA Windows NT Client 2.1. Software Requirements Operating System: Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4 or a subsequent release. For Remote Connection: The connection to a MERVA remote server can take place either via CPIC or TCP/IP. For CPIC: - Personal Communications for NT 4.11, program number 5622-972 or a subsequent release. For TCP/IP: - The TCP/IP support is already incorporated in Windows NT. MERVA Server: The used MERVA Server system can be: - MERVA ESA Version 4 Release 1 The applicable PTF for the S.W.I.F.T. changes 2005 is recommended - MERVA ESA Components MERVA USE & Branch - for Windows 2000 Version 4 Release 2 PTF UQ95595 MERVA Client: The MERVA Windows NT Client requires one of the following PTF's: UQ20635, UQ24873, UQ30384, UQ34965, UQ40414, UQ44274, UQ49371, UQ52005, UQ53660, UQ65272, UQ70032, UQ74543, UQ81171, UQ82260 or UQ84150 2.2. Hardware Requirements Processor: Any workstation that runs Windows NT Version 4.0 or a subsequent release. At least a Pentium* 133 MHz or equivalent is recommended. RAM: 32MB or more. Disk Space: The program files of this PTF require approximately 30 MB of disk space. Monitor: For message processing a monitor with SVGA screen resolution 1024 * 768 . Printer (optional): Any printer supported by Windows NT. Communication Equipment (for remote connections): Any interface device supported by the used communication software (for example, Token Ring Card or SDLC Adapter). -------------------------------------------------- 3. Getting Help Documentation Refer to the "MERVA Message Processing Client for Windows NT User's Guide", SH12-6341. Defect Reporting Use the IBM* Service channels for the feature "MERVA Windows NT Client" with Component Id: 5648-B3003 -------------------------------------------------- 4. Updating MERVA Windows NT Client Note: To ensure that all users of the workstation can operate the updated MERVA Message Processing Client the updating must be performed by an administrator. A t t e n t i o n : - Stop all running clients on the workstation before installing this PTF. If "MERVA USE & Branch for Windows NT" is running on the workstation, we strongly recommend to shutdown MERVA before the installation of this PTF. Refer to the "MERVA Message Processing Client for Windows NT User's Guide", SH12-6341. Start SETUP.EXE of the installation medium and follow the instructions on the screen. PTF installation from hard disk or LAN drive is supported. To prepare this installation type copy all PTF CD (diskettes) into a directory of the hard disk or of the LAN drive (installation source directory). To start with the installation from the hard disk or LAN drive make your installation source directory the current directory and start SETUP.EXE. Installation recovery: Since PTF UQ44274 the installation is able to recover from a canceled PTF installation. This feature enables the setup procedure to restore the previous applied PTF files, if setup is canceled while the new files are copied into the MERVA Family Client's installation directory. The Setup program will now prompt for a drive name, where all files and information of the currently applied PTF will be stored. No directory can be choosen at this prompt, because the setup program extracts the drive name from the prompt and uses a temporary directory for the backup. No additonal steps have to be performed in order to install the MERVA Family Client. In case of cancelling the installation while the new PTF files are copied, a recovery procedure is started that will restore the currently applied service level. Between cancelling the installation and starting the recovery will be a delay of some seconds. A log file for the installation recovery is written to the directory where the backup for the recovery was saved, it is named as "recovery.log" (See ":\tmp\enccli"). Installation under Windwos XP: Since the security concept under Windows XP has changed, it is necessary that users/groups running the MERVA Family Client must have full access to the installation directory (e.g. "c:\Merva\Message_Processing") and all subdirectories. -------------------------------------------------- 5. Late-Breaking News 5.1 Known problems: - Within the MERVA Windows NT Client you will find "prompt" and "mandatory" message fields. These fields are indicated by different light colors. Unfortunately the appearance of our default color settings depends on the resolution of the graphic device and the desktop display settings. If the default colors don't appear on your workstation adapt them in the Settings dialog of the client. - If the installation path includes non-alhpa numerical character like "ä", "ü", "ö", "ß", ... the MERVA Family Client will not start. - The refresh of any message or queue list via key does not work anymore, while any modal dialog box (modal to it's parent window) is active somewhere in the client. After this dialog is closed the refresh via will be available again. Note: The refresh via the view menu is still available if does not work !!! - Switching back from text-view to formatted-view by using does not work, use instead !!! -------------------------------------------------- 6.
