Download File Naming Key

  pxxxxxav.zip or pxxxxxav.tz where:
    xxxxx = APAR number
    a     = architecture (o = OS/2, n = NT, r = RS/6000)
    v     = NLS version (e = English, b = NLS translated versions)





CS/2 or CS for NT APAR Installation

  1. Unzip the pxxxxxav.zip file into a temporary directory:
       pkunzip pxxxxxav.zip

  2. Determine the target directory for each file in the zip.
     Check in what \cs2 subdirectory each file contained in
     the zip file belongs by searching for the files in your
     cs/2 directories. Usually the exe files go into \cs2\sys
     and the dll files into \cs2\dll.

  3. Shut down CS/2 or CS for NT.

  4. Backup the files to be replaced into a backup directory.
     Example:
       Under \cs2 create subdirectory backup\pqxxxxx\sys\.
       Copy \cs2\sys\cs2*.exe to \cs2\backup\pqxxxxx\sys\.
       Under \cs2\backup\ create subdirectory \pqxxxxx\dll\.
       Copy \cs2\dll\cs2*.dll to \cs2\backup\pqxxxxx\dll\.

  5. Copy the pqxxxxx's files into their respective target
     directories.

  6. Restart CS/2 or CS for NT.





CS/6000 APAR Installation

  1. In a temporary AIX directory:
     a. Rename APAR fix pxxxxxrv.tz to pxxxxx.tar.Z
          Example: mv p36070re.tz p36070.tar.Z
     b. Uncompress the APAR fix pxxxxx.tar.Z to pxxxxx.tar
          Example: uncompress p36070.tar.Z
     c. Untar: tar -xvf pxxxxx.tar

  2. Shut down CS/6000.

  3. Issue: cs2clnup.

  4. Be sure no cs2* processes or cs2 user applications are running.
     To check for cs2 processes, issue: ps -ef cs2*

  5. Issue: slibclean (may need to be superuser).

  6. List the new files, verifying they have the same permissions as those
     they will replace.  Use the chmod command to change the new files'
     permissions if necessary.

  7  Backup prior product files that will be overwritten by the fix.

  8. Now copy the fix files into their appropriate product directories.
     Use the -p option of the cp command to retain the date.

  9. Restart CS/6000. (Be sure NOT to be superuser when starting CS/6000.)
