CSD
PART 1. CORRECTIVE SERVICE DISKETTES
This Corrective Service Diskette set (CSD) improves the performance of
NetView DM/2 in several areas. Many of the changes will be transparent to
you, as they improve the way NetView DM/2 functions without changing how you
use it. Some of the changes involve amending the way you use NetView DM/2
and thus require the documentation also to be amended.
(C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1991, 1995 1
CSD
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD
WARNING: THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD IS DELIVERED ON 3.5 INCH DISKETTES. IF YOUR
CC CLIENT MACHINE HAS ONLY 5.25 INCH DRIVES, OR ONLY LOW CAPACITY 3.5 INCH
DRIVES, YOU MUST USE ONE OF THE UNATTENDED INSTALLATION METHODS DESCRIBED
BELOW, OR USE THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK TO TRANSFER THE CSD TO THE CC CLIENT
WORKSTATION.
To apply a CSD requires two stages:
o The product files must be refreshed
o The SYSLEVEL files must be updated
The descriptions that follow encompass both of these tasks in a variety of
ways.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The product directory name for this version of NetView DM/2
is IBMNVDM2, thus any reference to IBMANX throughout the documentation has to
be considered obsolete.
Among the other tasks, this NetView DM/2 CSD allows you to perform the
following ones:
o Refreshing the product image
The NetView DM/2 product diskettes can be copied to the fixed disk of a
workstation to create a NetView DM/2 product image. A disketteless
installation of NetView DM/2 can be performed from this product image,
either on the local system or on remote workstations.
The CSD can be applied to the product image, creating a "refreshed"
product image that is at the same level as the CSD.
o Applying the CSD by installing the refreshed product image.
Previous CSDs could only be applied on top of an installed release of a
product. In order to install new systems, you:
1. Installed the original product diskettes
2. Applied the CSD.
The refreshed product image can now be installed on systems without
NetView DM/2, or reinstalled on systems that already have NetView DM/2.
The version of NetView DM/2 on these systems will be the same level as
the CSD.
Thus, the following processes will produce the same version of NetView DM/2:
o Process A) Installing the original product diskettes plus applying the
CSD
o Process B) Installing the refreshed product image.
(C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1991, 1995 2
CSD
Another consideration is whether NetView DM/2 will be installed in an
attended or unattended environment:
o An attended environment assumes that a person is physically present at a
workstation in order to respond to requests from the software and to
change diskettes
o An unattended environment assumes that a person is NOT physically present
at the workstation. The installation must thus be controlled other than
by responding to software requests, and cannot be diskette-based.
The process of installing the CSD also involves preparing NetView DM/2 for
the CSD before using it, and, after using it, rebinding Database Manager to
the upgraded NetView DM/2.
What is New in this CSD
This CSD, XR20465, distributes some product fixes as referenced in the
FIXES.TXT file located in the last CSD diskette, labelled CC Server APAR
FIXES.
In addition, this CSD cumulates the NetView DM/2 Version 2.0 support of the
Access Control Lists (ACLs), made available since previous CSD XR20354,
available with LAN Server 3.0 product. NetView DM/2 ensures that existing
ACLs are maintained at the target during installation by replication
operations. ACLs are not included in change files during the build process
and therefore cannot be distributed from a source to a target. In addition,
no ACL information is transmitted with an object during file services
operations (RETRIEVE and SEND). However, NetView DM/2 has no control over
the writing of files during CID installations or installations by external
programs. During such installations, NetView DM/2 simply runs the install
program, which must manage the ACL information itself. Refer to the
documentation provided with the external program for additional information.
The LAN administrator must ensure that either NetView DM/2 is started as an
administrator process or that it has the proper authorizations to perform the
operations on ACLs.
Furthermore,this CSD distributes fixes to guarantee current product to be
compatible with its future releases.
Moreover, this CSD cumulates the DOS CC enhancement to support Microsoft
Windows**, as well as the CC server enhancement to support DOS installation
on pristine workstations made available since CSD XR20334 issue.
For more information about the new supports, refer to "Implementing DOS CC
Client Microsoft Windows Support" on page 14 and "Implementing CC Server
Support for DOS Installation on Pristine Workstations" on page 16.
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 3
CSD
Maintenance level serviced by this CSD
This CSD cumulates fixes and enhancements since CSD XR20273; then, it applies
to any maintenance level from XR00000_ to XR00006_ . Once implemented, any
product full configuration or images, selected at CSD installation time, will
result as upgraded at XR00007_ .
Preparing NetView DM/2 for the CSD
Before servicing NetView DM/2, you MUST close all current NetView DM/2

ATTENDED INSTALLATION OF THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD
The attended methods for installing the NetView DM/2 CSD utilize
the OS/2 Corrective Service Facility (CSF). This is a utility that
applies fixes (service) to the OS/2 operating system and other
OS/2-based products.
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 5
CSD
The Corrective Service Diskette can be installed by the CSF in one
of three ways, depending on whether NetView DM/2 is installed or
has been copied to a diskette image directory, and on whether you
want to use the default installation or to modify it.
NETVIEW DM/2 INSTALLED - DEFAULT CSD INSTALLATION VIA REBOOT
This method will apply the CSD to the installed version of
NetView DM/2 Version 2.0 and product images as well.
If you want to install the CSD using the standard defaults, a
default response file has been created, which you use as
follows:
1. Insert the Corrective Service Diskette #1 in the A: drive
2. Restart the workstation
The CSD will be applied according to response file information.
If you choose to use the default response file (RESPONSE.FIL) on
the 2nd CSD diskette set, the CSD results as applied to all the
installed versions and product images as well that are detected
on local Hard Disk.
NOTE: Refer to REDBOOK GG24-3780 (Remote Installation and
Maintenance) for more information on how to create response
file.
NETVIEW DM/2 IMAGE ON FIXED DISK - DEFAULT CSD INSTALLATION
(NVDMRCSD.EXE)
This method will apply the CSD to the installed version and also
to a diskette image of NetView DM/2.
If you want to install the CSD using the standard defaults, a
default Response File has been created, which you use as
follows:
1. Insert the Corrective Service Diskette #2 in the A: drive
2. Enter A:\NVDMRCSD
The CSD will be installed on the diskette image of NetView DM/2,
using the FSERVICE utility.
The CSD will be applied according to response file information.
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 6
CSD
If you choose to use the default response file (RESPONSE.FIL) on
the 2nd CSD diskette set, the CSD results as applied to all the
installed versions and product images as well that are detected
on local Hard Disk.
NOTE: Refer to REDBOOK GG24-3780 (Remote Installation and
Maintenance) for more information on how to create response
file.
NETVIEW DM/2 IMAGE ON FIXED DISK - MODIFIED CSD INSTALLATION
(NVDMPCSD.EXE)
This method will apply the CSD to the installed version and also
to a diskette image of NetView DM/2.
The CSD will be installed on the diskette image of NetView DM/2,
using the SERVICE utility.
To change the level of NetView DM/2 or the default directories,
take the following steps:
1. Insert the Corrective Service Diskette #1 in the A: drive
2. Enter A:\NVDMPCSD. This displays a window containing a list
of the products on the workstation that are eligible for
service.
3. Select NetView DM/2 by highlighting the appropriate entries
in the Products list. All eligible products are initially
selected.
4. To view the current levels of the products on your system,
select CURRENT from the LEVELS menu. To view the new level
of NetView DM/2 on the CSD, select NEW from the LEVELS menu.
5. The service utility updates files in a set of directories
associated with each selected product. To view or change
the set of directories, choose SELECT DIRECTORIES from the
OPTIONS menu.
6. When all selections have been made, select SERVICE to start
the service process.
You WILL NOT be able to terminate the service process after
it has been started.
The CSD will be installed on the diskette image of NetView DM/2.
A service log is provided for installation verification:
:\OS2\INSTALL\SERVICE.LOG,
where is the partition from which you IPLed.
Subsequent installs will be appended to the service log.
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 7
CSD
UNATTENDED INSTALLATION OF NETVIEW DM/2 CSD
The unattended method of installing the NetView DM/2 CSD utilizes
the standard installation programs supplied with NetView DM/2:
o NVDMEINS to install the Entry Base
o NVDMREC to install the LDU Receiver
o NVDMINST to install the Extended Base
o NVDMCLT to install the Change Control Client
All of these programs can be invoked from the refreshed product
images, and the release level they install from the refreshed
product image will be that of the CSD.
WARNING: THE UNATTENDED INSTALLATION OF NETVIEW DM/2 (REFRESHED
WITH THE CSD) CAN ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED USING THESE PROGRAMS. THE
PROGRAMS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY (FSERVICE, SERVICE, NVDMPCSD, AND
NVDMRCSD) CANNOT BE USED TO INSTALL A NETVIEW DM/2 CSD IN AN
UNATTENDED WAY, ALTHOUGH FSERVICE AND SERVICE CAN STILL BE USED FOR
THE UNATTENDED INSTALLATION OF CSDS FOR OTHER PRODUCTS SUCH AS OS/2
2.0.
The recommended process for the unattended installation of a
NetView DM/2 CSD in a local area or wide area environment requires
the use of an administrative workstation. This is a workstation
installed with either the NetView DM/2 Entry Base or Extended Base,
with connectivity to the other Entry/Extended Base workstations
that require an unattended CSD installation.
1. Create a diskette image of NetView DM/2, if it does not already
exist.
2. Refresh the NetView DM/2 product image using one of the
attended methods described above (either NVDMRCSD or NVDMPCSD).
3. Use NetView DM/2 to distribute the refreshed product image to
the NetView DM host.
4. If the administrative workstation is the CC server of a CC
domain, use NetView DM/2 at the Administrative Workstation to
install the refreshed product at any CC clients in the
administrative workstation's CC Domain, by using the
appropriate installation program (NVDMEINS, NVDMINST, or
NVDMCLT) and by using the same response files that were used to
install NetView DM/2 on these systems originally.
5. Use NetView DM at the host to distribute and install the
refreshed product at all workstations to which it is connected,
either directly by APPC or indirectly through a LAN, by using
the appropriate installation program (NVDMEINS, NVDMINST, or
NVDMCLT) and by using the same response files that were used to
install NetView DM/2 on these systems originally.
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 8
CSD
For details about how to execute these steps see the scenarios and
descriptions provided in the "NetView DM Overviews and Scenarios
Manual" and the "NetView DM/2 Installation and Customization
Guide."
NOTE: If you want to install the refreshed NetView DM/2 on new
workstations, use the refreshed product image and the appropriate
installation program.
Upgrading CDM Online Helps When Servicing Product Images by CSD
The CDM online help files are normally installed under the "CMLIB" directory
during a fully configured installation of NetView DM/2, and only if the
installer decides he wants them.
The files are NOT upgraded automatically by the CSD when servicing product
images. This task is left to the user, with the aid of two files:
CLIHLP.EXE and
SRVHLP.EXE
that It can find in the CSD diskette labelled CDM ON LINE MESSAGES.
To apply the refreshed Help files, proceed in the following manner:
1. open a OS/2 window or full-screen session
2. go into the "CMLIB" directory
3. copy "CLIHLP.EXE" if your workstation is configured as a NetView DM/2 CC
client, or "SRVHLP.EXE" if your workstation is configured as a NetView
DM/2 CC server or CDM Base
4. invoke either "CLIHLP" as
\CLIHLP -o
or "SRVHLP" as
\SRVHLP -o
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 9
CSD
Limitations
1. Whereas OS/2 V.1.3 and V.2.0 are serviceable either from command line
(with the A:\SERVICE command) or by restarting with the first CSD
diskette, OS/2 V.1.2 is only serviceable by restarting with the first CSD
diskette.
2. If a system has been configured with the 386 HPFS, it is not possible to
install the CSD restarting the system; for more information please refer
to RETAIN APAR II06607.
Moreover, if LOCAL SECURITY for the 386 HPFS is installed, before
starting installation with the A:\SERVICE command, it is necessary to log
on to the server with an administrator's privilege level.
3. When running NetView DM/2 on OEM or newer IBM (PC/VP, industrial PC, or
other) workstations, it is not possible to install the CSD restarting the
system; for more information please refer to RETAIN APAR II06709.
4. The CSD can only be installed on IBM model 9557 and Thinkpad from the
command line. Please refer to the NetView DM/2 product PSP (Preventive
Service Planning) for additional information.
5. The programs NVDMPCSD and NVDMRCSD cannot be used to update the NetView
DM/2 images on a remote drive, because the OS/2 Corrective Service
Facility, used to apply the CSD to the target drives, supports service
FROM a remote drive but not TO a remote drive.
+--- IMPORTANT -------------------------------------------------------------+

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Migration from a CSD to Another
If you are migrating from one CSD to another, you cannot use an INITIATE
command, because that would generate an error. The installation command to
be used is EXTERNAL INSTALL.
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 10
CSD
Preparing the Database Manager
If either of the attended installation processes is used to apply the NetView
DM/2 CSD to the installed release, the following steps are required to bind
the new version of NetView DM/2 to the database.
These steps must be completed before restarting NetView DM/2 after the CSD
has been installed, by issuing commands from the OS/2 command line:
1. Shut down any active components of CDM
2. Log on to Database Manager with database administrator access.
NOTE: The database administrator ID should be the same as that used when
NetView DM/2 was installed.
3. Enter STARTDBM
4. Insert the last CSD diskette into drive A:
5. Enter the following commands:
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCD1.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCD3.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCD4.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCD5.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCD6.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCD8.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCD9.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCDC.BND

SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCDJ.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCDL.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCDN.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCDP.BND
SQLBIND A:\ANXCSCDR.BND
Failure to execute these SQLBIND statements before database
reorganization will result in an SQL error code 805.

Installing this CSD on Top of Previous CSDs
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 11
CSD
+--- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| This section applies if you have previously serviced the installed |
| version of NetView DM/2 CC server with the XR20273 or XR20276 CSD. You |
| do not need to use the following instructions if you have applied any |
| previous CSD version only to the NetView DM/2 image directory on the |
| fixed disk and then used the NetView DM/2 installation program to refresh |
| the installed version of the CC server. You can skip this section if you |
| have a stand-alone CC server installed (without the Transmission |
| Controller component installed). |
| |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The Transmission Controller component of NetView DM/2 has some working files
under the TCDATA directory; these files have the extension ".SNA".
Before starting the installation you should ensure that you have the backup
copies ("*.BAK") of the corresponding "*.SNA" files used by the Transmission
Controller. The "*.SNA" files are customized at installation time with the
name of the product directory in which the product is being installed.
When the installation is complete, you can use the "*.BAK" files to restore
the corresponding "*.SNA" files in one of the following ways:
1. Copy the "*.BAK" files as "*.SNA".
2. Run NVDMINST /CO /DTR.
3. Run NVDMPMS with "Installation Type = Configuration Only" and "Delete
Options = Transmissions."
Restoring the "*.SNA" files deletes any remote destinations already
configured; you must therefore again add your remote destinations through the
dialog interface or the CDM CONFIG command.
Previous NetView DM/2 CSDs had a problem in updating the backup files of the
transmission controller ("*.BAK" files under the TCDATA directory).
In fact, the XR20273 and XR20276 CSDs, when applied directly to an installed
version of NetView DM/2, replace the "*.BAK" files losing some information.
This means that in this situation you cannot restore the "*.SNA" files any
more.
If you have installed only the XR20273 or XR20276 CSDs to the image
directory, then you don't have this problem because the NetView DM/2
installation program customizes these files at installation time.
To recover the overwritten "*.BAK" files you have to run the CUSTSNBK.EXE
tool that is on the last CSD diskette.
The CUSTSNBK.EXE tool is not installed automatically by the CSD. You have to
copy it on the CC server workstation affected by the problem and simply
execute it with no parameters. This tool will look for the installed version
of NetView DM/2 and properly update the "*.BAK" files.
CHAPTER 1. THE NETVIEW DM/2 CSD 12
CSD
The CUSTSNBK.EXE tool appends its log to the SERVICE.LOG under the
OS2\INSTALL directory.
If you have restored the "*.SNA" files after the "*.BAK" files were
overwritten by the CSD service, then you need to run the CUSTSNBK.EXE tool
and again restore your "*.SNA" files.
Important Information About Installing This CSD on Top of CSD XR20303
The following considerations apply when installing the current CSD on top of
CSD XR20303, shipped in June '93.
After CSD XR20303 installation, you may have performed a manual installation
of DOS Version 6.1. If this is the case, no unattended migration is provided
to the new DOS CC client level of this CSD, because CSD XR20303 only supports
DOS 4.0.1 and 5.0.2.
In this particular situation, the installation of the DOS CC client must be
performed locally at the target workstation, or, alternatively, you can
discard NetView DM/2 files and perform a remote installation using the
pristine diskettes.
For further information about the creation of pristine diskettes, refer to
the Appendix A, Detailed Scenarios, of the NetView DM/2 CDM User's Guide
(SH19-5048-00), supplied as a softcopy with this CSD.
Users wishing to upgrade to DOS 6.0 or 6.1 should first migrate their
workstations to the DOS CC client code provided with this CSD, and then
upgrade to the new level of DOS. This scenario is supported in a fully
unattended fashion.
Upgrading DOS CC Client File Only or Related Images
DOS CC Client, File Only or related diskette images on
CC Server, must be upgraded by invoking respectively
NVDMIDFO or NVDMDCPY from the first CSD diskette labelled
'DOS CC Client APAR FIXES'.
Command syntaxes :
NVDMIDFO /T:target_path /L:logfile /S:source_dir
NVDMDCPY /S:source_dir /T:target_path
NOTE:
Pls refer to NVDM/2 Installation and Customization Guide
for a complete overview of the aforementioned commands.

Unattended implementation
The unattended implementation can be performed by executing a CID External
Install of the DOS CC client from the appropriate images upgraded by this CSD
XR20465.
NOTE: The DOS CC client images MUST be located on one of the CC server
shared areas.
The steps are as follows:
1. Apply the CSD XR20465 on the DOS CC client images
2. Prepare a change file to install the refreshed code, using a change file
profile as the following one:
TargetDir = C:\IBMNVDD2
Section Install
Begin
Program = $(SourceDir)\NVDMIDOS.EXE
Parms = /S:$(SourceDir) /R:$(ResponseFile) >
/T:$(TargetDir)
ResponsFile = $(SourceDir)SAMPLE.RSP
SourceDir = SA:\
End
3. Run an INSTALL command on the DOS CC client to refresh the code.

NEW APPENDIX - LAN Server Security Support
NetView DM/2 Version 2.1 supports the implementation of Access Control Lists
(ACLs) in the LAN Server 3.0 product. NetView DM/2 ensures that existing
ACLs are maintained at the target during installation by replication
operations. ACLs are not included in change files during the build process
and therefore cannot be distributed from a source to a target. In addition,
no ACL information is transmitted with an object during file services
operations (RETRIEVE and SEND). However, NetView DM/2 has no control over
the writing of files during CID installations or installations by external
programs. During such installations, NetView DM/2 simply runs the install
program, which must manage the ACL information itself. Refer to the
documentation provided with the external program for additional information.
The LAN administrator must ensure that either NetView DM/2 is started as an
administrator process or that it has the proper authorizations to perform the
operations on ACLs. See "Enabling NetView DM/2 to Run in Privileged Mode" on
page 25 for details.
The following change management and file services scenarios illustrate the
handling of ACLs by NetView DM/2:
Nonremovable Install in Active Area
When an installation takes place in the active area, ACLs at the target are
preserved if the object already exists. If the target object does not
already exist, ACLs are created according to the LAN Server rules.
Removable Install in Active Area
During this type of installation, only the files and their extended
attributes (EAs) are packed in the backup file, not the ACL information.
CHAPTER 2. CORRECTIONS TO THE CDM USER'S GUIDE 23
CSD
Remove in Active Area
During a Remove operation, all the objects contained in the backup are
preserved, along with their EAs. ACLs are maintained at the target as they
exist at Remove time.
Install in Service Area (Removable and Nonremovable) + Activate
During this type of install, the ACL information present at Activate time,
not at Install time, is preserved at the target
Install in Trial Area
During this type of installation, all ACL information is preserved. You
cannot add ACL information to the trial area (workstationname.trl) created by
___________________
NetView DM/2 on the target drive. You can add information to the target
directory or to any of the subdirectories or files under it, then NetView
DM/2 transfers the ACLs from the trial area to the active area or from the
trial area to the service area (plus Activate) during installation.
CID Installation
In the case of CID installations, you can use the PREPACL utility, which is
supplied with the LAN Server 3.0 product, to backup ACL information before
installation and to restore it after installation. The syntax, which must be
performed manually, is the following for Backup:
PREPACL /P /D: /B:
and is the following for Restore:
PREPACL /R /B:
During the first call to PREPACL (for preprocessing), the ACLs are backed up
in the "backup file" and are deleted from the NvDM/2 installation directory
and from its files. During the second call to PREPACL (for postprocessing),
the ACLs are restored on the NetView DM/2 installation directory and on its
files. See the LAN Server 3.0 documentation for additional details.
CHAPTER 2. CORRECTIONS TO THE CDM USER'S GUIDE 24
CSD
Enabling NetView DM/2 to Run in Privileged Mode
When LAN Server 3.0 with local security is installed, NetView DM/2 must start
with administrator privileges. The procedure to start a privileged program
is documented in the LAN Server manual Network Administrator Reference Volume
______________________________________
3: Network Administrator Tasks. Following is a summary of that procedure.
______________________________
A program can be run as privileged from the command line or at startup. In
any case, this can be done only by the administrator.
FROM THE COMMAND LINE: After the administrator logs on, he issues the
command:
PRIV cdm start
NetView DM/2 starts with administrator privileges and maintains them even
after the administrator logs off.
AT STARTUP: When LAN Server 3.0 with local security is installed, a file
named PRIVINIT.CMD is created in the boot root directory. In this file, the
administrator must insert the statement:
CDM START
In the file STARTUP.CMD you must insert the statement:
___________
RUNPRIV.EXE
At startup, the RUNPRIV.EXE is invoked and only this program is enabled to
run PRIVINIT.CMD. NetView DM/2 starts with administrator privileges and keeps
them also if the administrator doesn't log on.
It is important to remember that the NetView DM/2 server change controller is
inoperative if the administrator is not logged on, because the NetView DM/2
server requires the database manager, which requires the administrator to be
locally logged on.

Version 2.0 was sent for publication.
Considerations for Migrating to Communications Manager/2 on a Focal
Point-Attached Workstation
This section shows how to migrate from Communications Manager of Extended
Services to Communications Manager/2 on a NetView DM/2 CC server in a focal
point-attached workstation. It is also applicable to a release refresh of
Communications Manager/2 (for example, to install Communications Manager/2
1.1 on top of 1.0).
The purpose of this section is to address the problem of reinstalling
Communications Manager from the NetView DM/2 CC server, when this process at
the same time requires Communications Manager itself to be active for NetView
______
DM/2 to receive the installation request, and to be inactive for the CMSETUP
________
procedure that upgrades Communications Manager. Communications Manager
receives the installation request and the CDM agent processes the request
without the change controller being active. If a failure occurs on the
Communications Manager/2 installation, the change controller is reactivated
to report back to the host the result of the installation.
NOTE: The change controller needs Communications Manager to receive the
request from the focal point; the CDM agent does not.
Copy the ANXCM2.CMD procedure, provided with this CSD in its last CSD
diskette of those labelled "CC Server & OS/2 CC Client APAR FIXES", under the
CM/2 image directory where CMSETUP.EXE is stored.
The procedure ANXCM2.CMD is called instead of the CMSETUP.EXE program. The
parameters passed to the procedure are the same as CMSETUP plus the /BD:
(boot drive) that is needed by the procedure itself. The procedure calls
CMSETUP, passing it the same parameters except the /BD:, which is filtered
out. Then you can run the Communications Manager/2 installation using either
the NetView DM/2 change file profile (ANXCM2.PRF) and CM/2 response file
(ANXCM2.RSP) that are also provided in the last CSD diskette of those
labelled "CC Server & OS/2 CC Client APAR FIXES" or your own similar files.
ANXCM2.CMD first backs up your CONFIG.SYS file, then changes the current
CONFIG.SYS file removing the parameter PROGRAM from the SET AUTOSTART key in
_______ _____________
order to not allow automatic call to any program. ANXCM2.CMD also backs up
your STARTUP.CMD file, and then creates a new minimal STARTUP.CMD, allowing
only the CDM agent to be started after the reboot to process the CM/2 install
request.
(C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1991, 1995 26
CID MIGRATION TO COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER/2
In certain cases, you might need some of the original functions in your
STARTUP.CMD (NET USE commands) to stay intact while allowing only the CDM
agent to be started at the end of the new minimal STARTUP.CMD.
ANXCM2.CMD is flexible enough to allow you to change the way it works to
cater to your environment. In the procedure, you will find two defined STEM
variables: "dropword." and "addline." They are used by the procedure in the
following way: Each statement that includes one of the "dropword.i" words is
deleted from the new minimal STARTUP.CMD. The dropword.0 must be set to the
number of "dropword." to analyze. If "dropword.0" is set to 0, the original
STARTUP.CMD is renamed to STARTUP.ANX and replaced with a minimal STARTUP.CMD
with only the lines defined by the "addline." stem variable. If "dropword.0"
is different from 0, then all the statements containing the "dropword."
words are dropped, and at the bottom of the minimal STARTUP.CMD file, the
"addline" is added. Pay special attention to the EXIT condition in your
original STARTUP.CMD and drop the extra EXIT if necessary; otherwise, the CDM
agent will not be executed at all because it is added at the very bottom of
the file. The ANXCM2.CMD procedure already has "dropword." samples for the
current NetView DM/2 installation.

6. Rename the file OS2KRNLI to OS2KRNL on the target 4MB diskette.
PAGE 46 - TOPIC 4.3.11 - TIMEOUT
TIMEOUT=, | OFF,OFF
Use the TIMEOUT variable to change the maximum length of time that an LDU
distributor waits for a receiver connection request. This value is
initialized when a receiver connection request is accepted. When the
distributor is started, receiver connection requests are processed in the
order in which they are received. When the length of time equal to the value
of TIMEOUT elapses with no connection request, the distributor stops
waiting for connection requests and starts the distribution process, if at
least one receiver is connected.
Use the TIMEOUT variable as a multiplier of to determine how long the
distributor should wait before cancelling the distribution, if no receiver is
connected. When the length of time equal to * elapses, without a
receiver connected, the distributor stops.
(C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1991, 1995 28
The variable is an integer in the range 10-9999 while the variable is
an integer in the range 10-9999, where the time interval is expressed in
seconds. You can press F10 to start the distribution process at any time
before the number of seconds specified in both the variables has elapsed.
If you set both the TIMEOUT variables to OFF, the distributor waits for
connection requests until you press F10. If a qualifying file list is used
and all receivers in the qualifying file list are connected, the distribution
is started, even if the TIMEOUT condition has not been satisfied. Similarly,
if all the sessions specified by the SESSIONS variable are used, by receiver
connections, the distribution is started.
The default values for TIMEOUT are <15>,

Copying the Client Feature from 3.5-Inch to 5.25-Inch Diskettes
This CSD is delivered on 3.5-inch diskettes only, but it includes a utility
to copy the DOS CC client onto 5.25-inch diskettes, should one prefer to use
this type of media.
This utility, named NVDMCDSK, is located in the last diskette of the CSD,
labelled "CC Server and OS/2 CC Client APAR Fixes." The DOS CC client is
contained in the diskettes labelled "DOS CC Client APAR Fixes" of the CSD.
When NVDMCDSK is invoked, a number of messages instructs you to insert the
source and destination diskettes, piloting the copy. The 5.25-inch
destination diskettes must have been already formatted before invoking
NVDMCDSK. You will need five 5.25-inch diskettes, formatted to 1.2 MB.
The syntax of NVDMCDSK is as follows:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| >>--NVDMCDSK--hdrive:--source:--target:--feature-->< |
| |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Parameters
HDRIVE: The letter identifying the hard disk partition to be used as
a temporary file repository during the copy process. The
utility does not check that there is enough free space in the
partition; ensure that there is enough free storage before
invoking NVDMCDSK. The amount of hard disk storage required
to copy the DOS CC client is 3.0MB.
SOURCE: The name of the drive where the source 3.5-inch diskettes
will be inserted.
TARGET: The name of the drive where the destination 5.25-inch
diskettes will be inserted.
FEATURE The name of the client feature that is to be copied; with
this CSD the only available choice is
DOS (for the DOS CC client)

In the table at page 199 of the Installation Manual (SH19-6915-02)
are reported bad values to calculate the NetBIOS resources needed by
NetView DM/2 at the CC Server and at the CC Client.
Hereafter you will find the real formulas to calculate the
resources for the CC Server:
CC Server
-----------------
Sessions MaxClients + 2 (as in the table)
Link Stations MaxClients + 1 (as in the table)
Commands MaxRequests + 29 2 more than in the table
Names 7 3 more than in the table
To better understand how this resources are requested, this
are the details:
1) For each instance of the Command Line doing a LIST_WS or each
instance of the Dialog with the CCDomain window open:
Sessions = 1, Commands = 10, Names = 1.
2) For the ANXIFS Server component:
Sessions = MaxClients, Commands = MaxRequests + 7, Names = 2.
3) For the CC Server component:
Sessions = 1, Commands = 12, Names = 4.
This basically means that, if you look at the NetBIOS resources
with our product down and than look again after a CDM START, you'll
see an increment like the following:
Sessions = MaxClients + 1, Commands = MaxRequests + 19, Names = 6.
Stated this, it's easy to understand that the table refers to the
needed resources with only one instance of the Command Line LIST_WS or
Dialog CC Domain window running.

CHANGE the second paragraph as follows:
The following considerations apply when the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is updated by
the NetView DM/2 installation process:
o The statement that runs NetView DM/2 at the DOS CC Client ("ANXCMLDR")
may be placed after a statement that runs a batch file, such as
"DOSSHELL", which does not return control to "AUTOEXEC.BAT". In this
event NetView DM/2 cannot run. To correct this problem, you must
manually edit "AUTOEXEC.BAT", moving any batch files so that they are
executed after NetView DM/2.
o The command RUN for Microsoft Windows** is not inserted in
"AUTOEXEC.BAT", even if Microsoft Windows was already installed at the
moment of NetView DM/2 installation. You can edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
and add it manually. In this case, ensure to insert the RUN command
after the NETBIND command (if existing), and after the PATH statement, so
that the NetView DM/2 statements are correctly inserted after NETBIND and
PATH, and before RUN.

At the top of the page, ADD the following note to the existing one:
NOTE: If the workstation where you are going to use NVDMIDOS has the SHARE
program installed, you must remove SHARE from the workstation memory before
starting NetView DM/2 installation, as follows:
o If you started SHARE from the command line, restart the workstation
o If statements related to SHARE are included in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files, remove them, using the REM command.
You can restore the SHARE references into the system files after completing
NetView DM/2 installation and before restarting the workstation.

In the paragraph referrring to the AgentTimeout parameter, ADD the following
note before the existing one:
NOTE: It is recommended to set the AgentTimeout value to -1, if you want to
perform CM requests on the CC server in an unattended mode.
This is because, when the CDM Agent terminates (according to the value
specified for this parameter) on a CC Server, it is not automatically
restarted when the Transmission Controller receives a request for the
network. The Transmission Controller starts the Change Controller only, and,
if the request is addressed to the CC Server, the CDM Agent will remain
inactive and the request will remain in pending status until you issue a CDM
START AGENT command locally.

NOTE: Sometimes, when performing the CDM LIST_WS command to see the WS
status (or showing them from the dialog) only about half of them
result as active even if all are up.
This is normally due to an incorrect setting in the NetBIOS
configuration file (PROTOCOL.INI)
The parameters that has to be checked are the following:
DATAGRAMPACKETS default=2 NvDM/2 suggested(Client/Server)=15
NETBIOSTIMEOUT default=500 NvDM/2 suggested(Server)=(see below)
NETBIOSRETRIES default=8 NvDM/2 suggested(Server)=(see below)
There is no way to tell exactly which value to use for NETBIOSTIMEOUT
and NETBIOSRETRIES. When a given Client is checked with the LIST_WS
command a UI frame is sent over the Network. The Client must answer
that frame in NETBIOSTIMEOUT * NETBIOSRETRIES milliseconds to be shown
as ACTIVE at the Server. Therefore these values has to be trimmed in
conformity with the typical delays of the Network.
Regarding the DATAGRAMPACKETS parameter, the value of 15 has been
proved to be big enough to serve the NetView DM/2 purposes. Anyhow, it
should be increased if there are other programs that uses the NetBIOS
Datagram support.
