Installation Requirements ********************************************* This fixpack is for Windows. In order to install this fixpack, you must be at this minimum product base level: a) Content Manager for Windows V7.1.0 (syslevel 07010000) You can determine your syslevel by: - Clicking on the START button and select RUN - Enter "REGEDIT" - Double click on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" - Double click on "SOFTWARE" - Double click on "IBM" - Double click on "Content Manager" - Click on "7.1". On the right side of the screen, the syslevel is recorded under "Fixpak applied" ********************************************* 2. Installation Instructions ********************************************* 1. Shut down and reboot your workstation to ensure that all file locks are released. 2. On the Fixpack FTP site, CD into the desired language subdirectory (for example: CD ENU to find the English Fixpack). Be aware that each National language has its own fixpack package. Because all the language fixpacks have the same name, be sure you go to the correct language subdirectory. If you don't find the language fixpack you need, ask for it. 3. Download the CM7105.WIN.EXE file in binary mode to a temporary subdirectory on your workstation. 4. CM7105.WIN.EXE is a self-extracting WINZIP file that can be extracted by simply entering CM7105.WIN. You will be prompted for a temporary directory to unzip to. You should have at least 15MB of free space. 5. Follow the GUI install panels. 6. After the installation has completed, you must rebind the databases of your library server and object server. You can rebind the server databases as follows: Library Server: Start->Programs->IBM Content Manager for Multiplaforms->Utilities-> Library Server Database Bind Object Server: Start->Programs->IBM Content Manager for Multiplatforms->Utilities-> Object Server Database Bind ********************************************* 3. APAR Fixes with Descriptions ********************************************* ************************************ Fixpack 710.5 ************************************ APAR NUMBER: IR44982 / AIX & Windows COMPONENT: LIBRARY SERVER / 5648D0422 PMR NUMBER: 17111,519,000 APAR DESCRIPTION: An application written using the OO-API may get the following error message when trying to work with a video object: Error text: DGL0423A: The specified part object does not exist SimLibQueryObject [FRN=6056, ExtRC=9924] In this example, the getCreatedTimestamp() method was being used, which eventually gets turned into a SimLibQueryObject call, which does not work correctly for video objects. FIX DESCRIPTION: As part of retrieving an object, file manager issues a query object API. This API sends an order to the object server for SMS info. A video object does not have any SMS info so this APIreturns an error and retrieve fails. ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR47426 / AIX & Windows COMPONENT: CS CAPI TOOLKIT / 5648D0451 PMR NUMBER: 48241,000,834 APAR DESCRIPTION: The following error message is seen when initializing a multi-threaded CM application program: 2001-12-04-12.07.59.409168 Instance:FRN Node:000 PID:20164(java) Appid:none CLIENT LI Probe:1 <2001-12-04 12:07:59.40 Type: ERRLOG File: lioiso.c Line: 1372 Func: IsoSocketsInit Action: SymInstallSymbol RC: 1 MsgCode 9066> FRN9066A: A startup problem occurred in the FRNOLIIS program. Return code = 1 The return code '1' indicates that the symbol is already installed. FIX DESCRIPTION: Correct daemon and IsoInitialization processing to avoid listservers threading problem. ************************************ Fixpack 710.4 ************************************ APAR NUMBER: IR46025 / Windows COMPONENT: C API Toolkit APAR DESCRIPTION: Custom written user application terminates with a Dr. Watson error message indicating module frnndamn.exe, and text of: 'Exception: Access violation (0xc0000005)'. The application is used to load data into CM. Increasing FRNHEAPSIZE delays the access violation, setting it very small causes it to happen almost immediately. Tracing the application revealed that the access violation is actually in frnnslap.dll (which is a part of frnndamn.exe). This appears to be a memory leak in folder manager. FIX DESCRIPTION: 1. Daemon has been changed to handle error correctly when no more memory is available instead of continuing, and thus causes the crash. 2. Folder MAnager API, SimLibAddFolderItem, and several other API's, has been changed to always free the response block regardless of return code is good or bad. This will avoid memory leak when error occurs. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Rename frnnfios.dll, frnnfo2.dll, frnndapi.dll from the FRNROOT\DLL directory, and frnndamn.exe from the FRNROOT directory. 2. Copy these four new modules into the same location as before. 3. Bring up your application and try again. ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR46071 / AIX & Windows COMPONENT: Library Server PMR NUMBER: 03486 APAR DESCRIPTION: In the 'Selected' pull down in the sysadmin are three utilities (Optimize, History, Expired time). Using the Optimize utility for testing, once it is set, it can not be unlocked. It appears to take the update but a subsequent logon displays the same scheduled status. FIX DESCRIPTION: Provided a new pgm to delete the utility schedules. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: NT/DB2: Copy the uptsched.bnd file to %FRNROOT%\bind directory. Copy frnnschd.DB2.exeto FRNROOT. NT/ORACLE: Copy frnnschd.ORACLE.exe to %frnroot%. AIX/DB2: Copy utpsched.bnd to $FRNINSTALL/BIND directory. Copy frnxsched.DB2to $FRNINSTALL AIX/ORACLE: Copy frnxschd.ORACLE to $FRNINSTALL. For DB2: Issue the following commands to bind the package: db2 connect to db2 bind utpschd.bnd ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR45075 / AIX & Windows COMPONENT: Object Server PMR NUMBER: 27196,379,000 APAR DESCRIPTION: CMv71 Object Server reported a sql return code from DB2 as an application problem and did not report a severe error FIX DESCRIPTION: CMv71Object Server now reports the sql error as severe. REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION: None ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR46768 / AIX & Windows COMPONENT: dbmigration APAR DESCRIPTION: The database migration utility does not take into conisderation non-english languages with regards to attribute names. There are several different error messages the customer will receive depending on the error condition. Some examples include: Error in module 'ModifySBTFOREIGNPARTSNMS()', line #681: Error in module 'ModifyFRNSearchIC()', line #702: Affects: Windows and AIX platforms, db2 and oracle migration utilities for Content Manager 7.1 FIX DESCRIPTION: The migration utility has been modified to account for a non-standard CM tablespace in Oracle and the use of a LIKEclause instead of equality check for NLS keyword names (to accommodate for the * prefix). Also, SQL return code isalways displayed in case of error for better diagnosis of future problems. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: As always, the migration utility must be copied from the CD-ROM into a local temporary directory with read/writeprivileges. The directory into which it is copied must reside on the system with the Library Server to be migrated.For DB2, the bind file must also be copied into the same directory as the migration utility executable. REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION: Planning and Install Guide, migration section for general migration instructions. ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR46225 / Windows COMPONENT: JSA PMR NUMBER: 14261,122 APAR DESCRIPTION: Environment: cm71 nt system admin. Customer has multiple user groups which when displayed in the list box for the user properties, requires the list to be scrolled in order to view the entire list. If the customer wishes to add an user to an user group that requires the list to be scrolled, the customer has found that after scrolling the list, depressing the cntl key/highlighting the user group to be added, and then clicking on the "apply" key, that the list scrolls back to the original view of the list. In contrast, the VI v24 system admin would remain on the same view of the displayed list. This appears to occur only on the selection of the first assignment of an user group during a session. FIX DESCRIPTION: Fix the code related to the user group list. ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR47111 / Windows COMPONENT: JSA PMR NUMBER: 46253,122,000 APAR DESCRIPTION: Inconsistent data in System administration client. Number of users selected is not showing correct number. FIX DESCRIPTION: Fix FindWidget to show the correct number of users selected. ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR46952 / Windows COMPONENT: Common Services PMR NUMBER: 17131,180,000 APAR DESCRIPTION: FRNHEAPSIZE value in RunTimeParms registry entry does not work and has no effect on server services FIX DESCRIPTION: Change code to use the registry value instead of the global env variable setting for FRNHEAPSIZE ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR45069 / AIX & Windows COMPONENT: Object Server PMR NUMBER: 27196,379,000 APAR DESCRIPTION: Customer was receiving FRN9006A, FRN9927A and FRN9919A in frndiag.log on retrieve. The trace uncovered that the trigger for the FRN9006A was 'CreateFileMapping RC: 8>'. The actual cause was that the file returned from ADSM was smaller than what was expected. FIX DESCRIPTION: Utilization of the supported ip2toccount api (as used by the vi client application) to determine the count of items in a workbasket results in a lenghthy response time when the number of items and workbaskets is large. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Rename \frenroot\dll\frnnfios.dll to something else. 2. Copy the new frnnfios.dll to the \frnroot\dll directory. 3. Bring up your application and try again. ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR44519 / Windows COMPONENT: System Administration PMR NUMBER: 08852,075,724 APAR DESCRIPTION: Userexit dll names should be restricted to length of 8 characters to avoid confusing errors FIX DESCRIPTION: Modify dialog to not allow more than 8 characters in userexit dll name SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Save original versions of frnnsacl.jar and frnnsacld.jar, and then copy the new versions into the saclasses subdirectory of the CM install directory. ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR45001 / AIX & Windows COMPONENT: C API Toolkit APAR DESCRIPTION: A CM user is created with privilege bit 15 cleared, which should allow filtering of search results to exclude all documents that the user does not have access to. However, when a search is done, a folder manager trace shows that it fails on a SimLibGetTOCData call with RC = 6238. The client (vic.exe) does not have the capability of filtering this way. This APAR is being opened per development to fix this problem in the folder manager. FIX DESCRIPTION: Change the SimLibGetTOCData source code to continue processing (instead ofreturning error return code 6238) when there is no information returned from Library Server for aspecific itemID that this user has no authority to access. In this case, the returned SNAPSHOTSTRUCTdata structure for this itemID is empty other than the itemID itself. ******************* APAR NUMBER: IR45020 / Windows COMPONENT: System Administration APAR DESCRIPTION: Password duration should be restricted to no greater than 12000 days due to Library Server's limitation. FIX DESCRIPTION: Modify dialog to set the maximum value of Password duration to 12000 days. ************************************ Fixpack 710.3 ************************************ APAR NUMBER: IR42485 / Windows COMPONENT: 5648A08B2 APAR DESCRIPTION: Database utilities do not always run when scheduled. 'Start Now' appears to work. The customer is running the C sysadmin on 2.3 (NT). Because I did not realize this, I tested using the Java sysadmin on 2.4 but got similiar results. I tried several database utilities and got inconsistant results. FIX DESCRIPTION: Fixed the logic relating to non-daily schedules. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: replace the frnndbcl.jar from frnroot\lib with the new one. REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION: none ***** APAR NUMBER: IR43090 COMPONENT: OS PMR NUMBER: 64570,519,000 APAR DESCRIPTION: After the migrator migrates an objects into a storage class, it will set the OBJ_ACCTIONDATE (the next migration date) to a new date which matches the retention period, for example, if the retention period of the destination storage class is set to 60 day, then after migrating into this storage class, the OBJ_ACTIONDATE of an object will be set to 60 days from the current date. This means, during the next 59 days, the migrator will bypass this object when selecting candidates for migration. If the retention period has been set as "FOREVER", than after the migration, the OBJ_ACTIONDATE will be set to 12/31/9999, which means that the migrator will never consider it again as a potential candidate for migration. During every migration cycle, the migrator will "look" at any object with OBJ_ACTIONDATE set to the current day or early, and decide is the object due to migrate. Currently, unless the user set the retention period of a storage class to "FOREVER" or to a date before the year 2038 (some 13000+ days from now), the OBJ_ACTIONDATE of the migrated object will be set incorrectly to the next day. As more and more objects been migrated to the storage class with the wrong action date set, the migrator will waste most of the migration cycle time looking for objects that need not be migrated at all. Eventually, in some extreme case, all the migration cycle time are wasted, and there is no time left for any real object migration in the migration cycle. The migrator is using the ANSI C's time() function to compare two dates, but the time() function always return a negative value for any date after Jan 18, 2038, and this negative time will confuse the migrator and make it to set the next migration date incorrectly. FIX DESCRIPTION: The fix put in a check for the negative time returned from the time() function, and will set the next action date to 12/31/9999 in this case. So, if the user set the retention date of a storage class in the migration policy after Jan, 2038 (for example, from 13000+ to 32000 days) it will be treated as FOREVER. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Shut down the object server 2. Back up the old frnnlbcm.dll (Windows) or frnxlbcm.o (AIX) 3. On Windows platform, copy the frnnlbcm.dll to $FRNROOT\DLL, on AIX platform, copy the frnxlbcm.o to /usr/lpp/frn/lib REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION: none ***** APAR NUMBER: IR44885 COMPONENT: LS / 5648D0431 APAR DESCRIPTION: If configuring a CM system such that the CM application is outside a firewall (i.e. a network table entry for the client daemon was added to the network table) searches to the library server, and perhaps even logon to the library server will fail with an out of memory condition. There should also appear rouge frnndamn.exe processes after each stop and restart of the application. This fix requires the user to specify the FRNSINGLEPROCESSCLIENT environment variable when configured to use a firewall. In addition to this fix, the application writer should consider making sure that all retrieval of objects are placed into files rather than into memory, thus avoiding memory full conditions. Error number 9126 (FRN9126A) will be logged in the client frndiag.log as a result of this failure. FIX DESCRIPTION: CM disconnect/exit processing was changed to use exit lists rather than destructors, changing the order in which CM would cleanup. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: none REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION: none ***** APAR NUMBER: IR45219 / Windows COMPONENT: LSs / 5648D0432 PMR NUMBER: 08850,075,724 APAR DESCRIPTION: If the NT user name that the system is running under is more then 15 characters long the allocation of shared memory fails. This is displayed in the client application by the logon panel failing to show any servers in the listbox. If the Isolator (FRNNLIIS.exe) is started in the foreground it immediately ends. FIX DESCRIPTION: Increase the internal buffer that holds NT logon name. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: none REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION: none ***** APAR NUMBER: IR45362 COMPONENT: OS / 5648D0411 PMR NUMBER: 50501,032,724 APAR DESCRIPTION: Object server reports FRN9919A, FRN9883A on retrieval of an object, followed by an abnormal termination of the FRNXLBPR process, FRNsysSignalHandler, this process received a signal 4. Problem appears to be similar to symptom described in VI v24 apar IR42465. FIX DESCRIPTION: fix lbsretriev.c lbsmigra.c, and lbscomm.c. Filter out the zero size file. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: none REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION: none ***** APAR NUMBER: IR45507 / Windows COMPONENT: dbmigration APAR DESCRIPTION: The migration utility shipped in CM 7.1 Windows (frnnmiut.ORACLE.exe) does not run under Oracle 8.1.6. There is no data loss as a result. Users will see a dialog pop-up on their screen saying that the "sqllib80.dll" could not be found. This APAR will include the necessary makefile switch to add Oracle 8.1.6 compilation similar to the change that was made for various library server DLL's. This also includes a small #ifdef code change in the frnpmiut.ccc source file. FIX DESCRIPTION: Makefile was changed to include Oracle 8.1.6 switch for separate compilation of LS migration utility and #ifdef was added to source code. This change will allow customers running Oracle 8.1.6 to utilize the LS migration utility. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Customers should follow same instructions previously documented but note that the 816 version of frnnmiut.ORACLE.exe will be in the orautil\816 directory on their CD. As before, customers should copy the file to a local directory with read/write permission before executing. Also, note that this was fix was included in CM71fp2 but not documented until fixpack3.

The DLL involved is the FRNNDAPI.dll. This is to handle CM crash problem. This problem can occur on CM 6.1 and CM 7.1.This problem can occur on CM 6.1 and CM 7.1. FIX DESCRIPTION: In DmnGetResponse function, added semophore protection before the SymDeleteSymbol() function call, and release the semophore after the call. This way there will be no interruption between different threads on the symbol table. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Rename FRNROOT\DLL\frnndapi.dll to something else. 2. Apply the new frnndapi.dll to the same directory as above. 3. Bring up your application and try again.

SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: none REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION: none ***** APAR NUMBER: IR46843 COMPONENT: LS / 5648D0432 APAR DESCRIPTION: If configuring a CM system such that the CM application is outside a firewall (i.e. a network table entry for the client daemon was added to the network table) searches to the library server, and perhaps even logon to the library server will fail with an out of memory condition. There should also appear rouge frnndamn.exe processes after each stop and restart of the application. This fix requires the user to specify the FRNSINGLEPROCESSCLIENT environment variable when configured to use a firewall. In addition to this fix, the application writer should consider making sure that all retrieval of objects are placed into files rather than into memory, thus avoiding memory full conditions. Error number 9126 (FRN9126A) will be logged in the client frndiag.log as a result of this failure. FIX DESCRIPTION: Removed the attempt to autodetect a firewall configuration and autostart the daemon process. The adminstrator is required to set FRNSINGLEPROCESSCLIENT. SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: In a firewall configured environment: Determine if there is to be more than one application process on the client workstation. 1) If multiple applications are to be run on the workstation specify in the system environment variables or setup scripts: FRNSINGLEPROCESSCLIENT=0 and increase FRNHEAPSIZE to 2048 or higher. If out of memory conditions still occur, preferably, the application writer should, consider making sure that all object retrievals are placed into files rather than into memory or increase the FRNHEAPSIZE setting, thus avoiding memory full conditions. 2) Otherwise, when only one application process exists on the workstation, specify FRNSINGLEPROCESSCLIENT=1 and leave the default FRNHEAPSIZE setting.

FIX DESCRIPTION: When scheudling a util, we were using the logged on userid and not the scheduler userid. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR44259 / Windows COMPONENT: Library Server APAR DESCRIPTION: Jobber dies from DLL build processing making the library server unavailable. This is due to the size of the .sqc file exceeding a limitation in memory usage. FIX DESCRIPTION: Processing a very complex search on a database canoverflow our 10k buffer search clause. I have modified the code to check the complexity of the search being processed. If the complexity is above a certain level, we will not try to process that search. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR44109 / Windows COMPONENT: Library Server PMR NUMBER: 84765,019,000 APAR DESCRIPTION: No trace output from frncmd if utility encounters an error. To trace the execution of the frncmd utility, the batch file that starts the utility ( frnnstcu.bat ) needs to be updated. Once the updates are made and the batch file is executed, the trace starts as expected. But if the utility ends with an errorlevel of '1', the statements in the batch file to format and turn off the trace are bypassed, and the trace is lost. FIX DESCRIPTION: Moved the code to format and stop the trace to cmnexit function. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR45048 COMPONENT: Library Server APAR DESCRIPTION: The Library Server does not issue an error message if the wrong userid is used to start it. If the wrong userid is used to start the Library Server, it initializes and presents the user with the "Accepting Requests" message. However, users get error message " FRN6740A: The logon was not successful because of error 6056 " when they try to log on. The system admin client gets a " FRN8571A: =6056 " message. The frndiag.log shows -204 SQL return codes (undefined name). To determine the correct userid, open the DB2 control center and view the Library Server database tables. The schema name is the userid that should be used to start the Library Sever. The Object Server issues the following error message when started with the wrong userid: FRN9745A: Unable to update database, because it is the incorrect database version, -1.

The application is used to load data into CM. Increasing FRNHEAPSIZE delays the access violation, setting it very small causes it to happen almost immediately. Tracing the application revealed that the access violation is actually in frnnslap.dll (which is a part of frnndamn.exe). This appears to be a memory leak in folder manager. FIX DESCRIPTION: 1. Daemon has been changed to handle error correctly when no more memory is available instead of continuing, and thus causes the crash. 2. Folder MAnager API, SimLibAddFolderItem, and several other API's, has been changed to always free the response block regardless of return code is good or bad. This will avoid memory leak when error occurs. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR44629 COMPONENT: Library Server APAR DESCRIPTION: OLD PROBLEM DESCRIPTION (NOT ACCURATE): Migrator fails to delete a 'D' status object.

This condition was caused by two quick requests for collection changes without running destager in between the requests. In the case of this customer, collections are assigned by index class. A user reindexed the same itemid twice quick enough that destager did not have a chance to run. The second collection change used the undestaged row from the first collection change and then flagged it with 'D' status which then shielded it from the destager. The problem is that the collection change process copies the source row without altering the file name and path. It is expected that destager will do this. Destager never gets a chance so the row is left with an invalid volume path and 'D' status from the second collection change. Migrator can not mount this (ADSM) volume and fails. The impact is that there are 6 messages per error which creates a large frndiag.log and the through put of migrator can be adversly affected. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Migrator fails to delete a 'D' status object. The primary message is FRN9860A rc9763 but FRN9763A and FRN9767A usually preceed it. The row in BASE_OBJECTS is identified by the 'object' in the FRN9860A message which is a timestamp that replaced the original OBJ_OBJECTNAME at the time the delete status was changed. The OBJ_VOLUMEID will relate to an ADSM/TSM SMS definition that will not belong to the storage class. This condition is the result of rapid collection changes (at least two) where the original source volume was ADSM/TSM and destager is either disabled or the collection change occurs so rapidly that destager is inbetween cycles. The first collection change created a 'U' status object that would normally be handled by destager. It is the second collection change that processes the 'U' status such that the odd 'D' status BASE_OBJECTS row is created. This APAR number will be used to identify this issue in CM 6.1 and 7.1 fixpacks/CSDs (AndyM). FIX DESCRIPTION: During reindex, if the object's status is 'U', there is no need to delete the file in the original storage system. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR44519 COMPONENT: System Administration PMR NUMBER: 08852,075,724 APAR DESCRIPTION: Userexit dll names should be restricted to length of 8 characters to avoid confusing errors FIX DESCRIPTION: Modify dialog to not allow more than 8 characters in userexit dll name ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR46054 / Windows COMPONENT: JSA PMR NUMBER: 52007,180,000 APAR DESCRIPTION: The CM 7.1 System Admin Client allows you to delete the NOINDEX index class.

These HOMELESS files reside on the "staging" volume and are not destaged/archived to other volumes. The customer subsequently has their "staging" volume fill up. FIX DESCRIPTION: Remote migration cleanup on CM61/71 destages/archives the HOMELESS files to other volumes and the "staging" volume then reclaims space.

While the same values to determine the same results is contained in the FRNWIPITEMS table, the values are not kept in sync with the FRNITEMS table. Subsequently, any attempts to bypass the performance issues of the api by issuing a direct sql against the FRNWIPTEMS table results in possibly incorrect information.

This may cause performance problems for customers if the number of itemId's is huge. To solve that performance problem, a Library Client user exit is created to allow users to use their own algorithms to generate new itemID's in a more sequential manner. FIX DESCRIPTION: The default userexit is a no-op function and simply returns 0 to the caller. A sample userexit (commented out) is provided in this userexit. To use the sample method, users can simply un-comment it and modify it anyway desirable by the users, and build the userexit again. So the default behavior of this userexit is business as usual, that means no impact to existing customers, unless the userexit is modified and rebuilt by the customers. User exit: LibCreateItemID (generate item ID user exit) Format: LibCreateItemId (pszItemID,pszWorkStationID,sIndexClassID,pszUserID,sSemType) PURPOSE: When an application creates an item, Content Manager assigns the item several system-defined attributes. One of those system-defined attributes is an item identifier (item ID), which is randomly created by the Library Server Client. This user exit allows you to change the way the Library Server client generates item IDs. You can use the sample in this user exit to have the library client create sequential item IDs. To use the sample, remove the comments tags in the code and recompile. You can also modify the sample code and add your own algorithms. The library client encrypts the password that is associated with the user before it is transmitted to the library server. Use LibEncryptPassword if you want to provide your own encryption algorithm or eliminate the password encryption. Note: If you don't "uncomment" the sample code, the CM library server client will create item IDs as it is originally designed to do; random ID generation. PARAMETERS: pszItemID: CHAR - input and output A parameter passed in by the internal code. pszWorkStationID: CHAR - input The character string of the host name. The maximum length for this string is 18 bytes, which includes the null terminator. sIndexClassID: SHORT - input The index class identifier. pszUserID: CHAR - input The NULL-terminated character string that specifies the password for the user ID. This parameter is not case sensitive. sSemType: SHORT - input The semantic type of the item to store. The semantic type of an item indicates its general classification. Use a 2-byte integer. The predefined semantic types are: SEMTYPE_ACL Indicates that the item is an access list. SEMTYPE_ANNOTATION Indicates that the item is an annotation. SEMTYPE_DOCUMENT Indicates that the item is a document. SEMTYPE_FOLDER Indicates that the item is a folder. SEMTYPE_HISTORY Indicates that the item contains history events. SEMTYPE_MGDS Indicates that the item contains MGDS data. SEMTYPE_NOTE Indicates that the item is a note. SEMTYPE_USER Indicates that the item is a user item. SEMTYPE_WORKBASKET Indicates that the item is a workbasket. SEMTYPE_WORKFLOW Indicates that the item is a workflow. SEMTYPE_NONE Indicates that the item has no semantic type. All other values are for use by applications. The library server does not interpret them, so they can be used by the application in any way you want to. RETURN VALUES: The function returns a value of SHORT with zero for SUCCESS and -1 for FAILURE. COMMENTS: The function is located in the FRNPLCPW.C module. In the Windows environment, the sample source code for this user exit routine is located in the \USEREXIT subdirectory of your install root directory. The LibCreateItemID function is a single function in FRNWLCPW.DLL. You can replace FRNWLCPW.DLL with your own FRNWLCPW.DLL. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR46219 COMPONENT: Object Server / 5648D0412 APAR DESCRIPTION: Object Server Recovery deletes files not found in the database.

(See Chapter 9, 'Configuring network communication for Content Manager components', topic 'Understanding Network Tables', sub-topic 'Client toolkit notes', page 182.) However, the correct syntax and parameter definitions for the FRNODAOS statement, and when you need to use them, are not in the in the 'Network table file syntax' section of chapter 9, which also does not document FRNODAOS as a reserved word. FIX DESCRIPTION: In the Content Manager for Multiplatforms Planning and Installing Guide Version 7 Release 1, the following information is corrected and added: Page 182, Client toolkit notes: Delete the following text: Optionally, specify the port and IP address for the client messenger to use for object storage and retrieval. Specifying the IP address is useful when the client contains multiple communications cards or when there is a router that performs NAT (network address translation) between the client and servers. In the latter case, the external address must be the IP address. And replace with the following text: In some configurations it may be desirable to place the CM toolkit and its applications on one side of a firewall while the servers are the other side of a firewall. Also, it might be desirable to choose which communications network card is to be used for object transfers to and from the object server, such that object transfer occurs on a specified network, given that the client workstation has access to multiple networks. Accommodating both such configurations is done through the creation of a local client network table entry on the client toolkit workstation. Use the network table generator to ADD LOCAL CLIENT specify Port specify IP Address In the case of a workstation attached to multiple networks, specify the IP address of the communications card that is desired for object transfer to and from the object server. Port, in this case, can be any port in the valid port range specified in In the case of a firewall, it can be somewhat restrictive. The firewall must use static NAT, and not dynamic. With static NAT, each client must have an internal ip address, known to the servers, mapped to an external ip address. With such a mapping, use the network table generator at the client toolkit workstation to add the local client definition. Specify the internal IP address. The port to be specified is usually the one in which the firewall is configured to permit. Most administrators find that using the same port number as the library server works best, given that the client machine doesn't contain a library server itself. That way, the firewall can be configured to allow traffic for that port number and it will work for both the traffic going to the library server and from the object server. Finally, in both the firewall and multi-honed configurations, on a Windows toolkit platform, the administrator must determine whether or not there will be multiple applications run on the workstation. For example, Does there exists the CM client application and a custom application, or sys admin on the workstation? This situation can be called a multi-process configuration, where multiple applications share the client configuration. Conversely, if only one application is to be run on the workstation, it is a single-process configuration. It is important to determine which environment the workstation will be running and set environment variables as follows: * single-process configuration - add FRNSINGLEPROCESSCLIENT to system environment variables setting its value to 1. * multi-process configuration - add FRNSINGLEPROCESSCLIENT to system environment variables setting its value to 0. Additionally, update the system environment variable FRNHEAPSIZE=2048. In this environment, the applications will be sharing the client messenger daemon and requests/responses to/from the library server and in some cases, objects to/from the object server will be placed in a shared memory heap. The setting of a larger shared memory heap is required. 2048 translated to 4K X 2048 = 8M of shared memory. This should be sufficient for most requests, responses, and objects. But if the application starts receiving out of memory failures, (because of large objects or larger results sets from queries), the FRNHEAPSIZE should be increased. Configuring for the default client messenger Nothing further needs to be configured in the default toolkit configuration. Page 195, add the following text to Network table file reserved words: FRNODAOS Page 195, add to definition column which states For library servers and object servers, the server name is the same as the database name. For the client messenger, the name is FRNODAOS ************************ APAR NUMBER: IR42892 COMPONENT: Object Server APAR DESCRIPTION: The message FRN9020A is used to reflect an error received from the protocol that is in use.

Update the BASE_STAGING database table, column STA_DEDICATED, using the following query: Example: db2 UPDATE BASE_STAGING SET STA_DEDICATED = 'Y' This command queries the file system to find out how much space is being used on the file system. This avoid a time consuming filter of the files in staging. The result is a close to constant startup time independent of the number of files in the staging area. If STA_DEDICATED is set to ’N’ then the startup time depends on how many files are in the staging area. Never set STA_DEDICATE to yes if the file system or partition holds files other than object server blobs. In the system administration program, do not allocate the staging space to be the size of the entire partition. Allow for some level of error as file systems report of space is not always completely usable due to overhead in the file systems. For most file systems the error is less than 10%. A good starting point for a 10,000 MB partition would be to set staging space to 9,000 MB with a purge start of 90% and a stop of 80%.

Otherwise, this field is ignored. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR45849 COMPONENT: Library Server APAR DESCRIPTION: Documentation in the Application Programming Guide for Windows v7.1 (APG) is incorrect concerning proper interpretation of the correct column width returned by LibGetQueryReplyInfo. with more detail of: Use the function DmnFieldWidth (in frnndapi.lib) to intrepret the correct column width regardless of data type. FIX DESCRIPTION: In the Content Manager for Multiplatforms Application Programming Guide Version 7 Release 1, the following information is added: Use the function DmnFieldWidth (in frnndapi.lib) to intrepret the correct column width regardless of data type. For example: if (pCol->col_type %2==1) { if (pCol->col_width<=1) return; /* Skip over the NULL byte indicator */ pbRowData++; usFieldLen = DmnFieldWidth(pCol->col_type,pCol->col_width,pCol ->col_desc_len, bFormatted) - 1; } else usFieldLen = DmnFieldWidth(pCol->col_type,pCol->col_width,pCol ->col_desc_len, bFormatted); ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR45861 COMPONENT: Library Server APAR DESCRIPTION: Content Manager v7.1 Application Programming Guide for Windows Appendix B - User Exit Routines The customer is building a SaveRecordUserExit module, and is having trouble getting the USEREXITSTRUCT to map properly to the actual data.

The instructions state to run frnnmiut.db2.exe from the CD. This does not work. The executable and other files must be copied from the CD to the hard drive to be executed. A proceedure naming what files must be moved is required and the softcopy version of the pubs should be updated. FIX DESCRIPTION: In the Content Manager for Multiplatforms Planning and Installation Guide Version 7 Release 1 Chapter 12. Migrating a Windows or an AIX Content Manager database page 237, Migrating a DB2 library server database on Windows, the following information is added to Step 2: Copy the migration utility (frnnmiut.db2.exe) and the bind file (frnomiut.bnd) into a local directory on the Library Server to be migrated. These two files must reside in the same directory, and the user must have read/write privileges in that directory. Run the migration utility from your local drive. page 242, Migrating a DB2 library server database on AIX, the following information is added to Step 2: On AIX,'su' to the LSADMIN user ID. Create a temporary directory where LSADMIN has read / write privileges. Copy all the files from /AIX/migrate/db2 and /AIX/migrate/db2/bind from the installation CD to the temporary directory (all the files must be the same temporary directory). Run frnxmiut.db2 from the temporary directory. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR42479 COMPONENT: Library Server APAR DESCRIPTION: For both the C version (COMPID 569725044) and the Java Sysadmin, if the library server configuration is set for a single logon per user, the utilities that can be scheduled such (as expired time) will post FRN7213A. The utility requires the ability to make a second connection when the utility starts. The chapter in System Administration Guide ' System setup and system maintenance' fails to mention that library server configuration must be set for multiple sessions if you want to use the system admin. GUI server utilities. FIX DESCRIPTION: Ensure the library server configuration is not set for 'single session' in the 'Active sessions(Per UserID)' section on the 'Access' page of the library server configuration. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR47209 COMPONENT: Library Server APAR DESCRIPTION: The customer countered he is running CM 7.1 and that the System Administration Guide says: "Restriction: If your instance of the system administration client is running through the system administration gateway, then the library server and system administration gateway must be logged on at the scheduled time for the utility to run." This is clearly a different statement and implies if the gateway is not used, then you do not have to be logged on. The customer feels the way the product works has changed and if the gateway is not being used, the user does not have to be logged on. FIX DESCRIPTION: In the Content Manager for Multiplatforms System Administration Guide V7.1, the following information is updated: In order for any of the database utilites to run at a scheduled time, the user that scheduled the utility must be logged on to the library server by way of the system administration program. ************************* APAR NUMBER: IR46134 COMPONENT: Library Server APAR DESCRIPTION: Static generation of an expression that includes the NOTIN operator successfully generates a dll, but does not include the sql with the NOTIN expression. Each subsequent submission of the same expression will generate a new static dll, each time excluding the expression. No errors are reported in the frndiag.log FIX DESCRIPTION: In the the Content Manager for Multiplatforms Application Programming Guide and Application Programming Reference, the following information is added: Because of the complex nature of the query searches involving IN or NOT IN, search conditions will not be optimized to static search dlls. ********************************************* END OF README *********************************************
