PREREQUISITES
-------------
Program Temporary Fix UQ05603 requires Communications System/2 (5601-116)
Release 3.1 (English). Please ensure you are at this level before proceeding
with the installation of this PTF.
UQ05603 supercedes PTFs UN78045 and UN87209.
UQ05603 can be applied directly to the CS/2 R3.1 (English) product or
on top of PTF UN78045 and/or UN87209. UQ05603 is cumulative, containing
all fixes from UN78045 and UN87209, as well as additional fixes.
INSTALL PROGRAM FEATURES
------------------------
1. ONLY INSTALLED OPTIONS WILL BE UPDATED:
The Install program determines which options were previously
installed by reading NETDIST support files (either topology.dat
or mintopo.dat). Only those files for which support was
previously installed will be installed. If the Install program
cannot find the NETDIST support files, then all files contained
on the PTF will be installed.
2. FILES BACKED UP:
Before replacing, the Install program copies files into
their respective path under the CS2\BACKUP\UQ05603\ directory.
3. SYSLEVEL UPDATED:
The last step of the installation is to update the SYSLEVEL.CS2
to reflect PTF UQ05603 has been installed. The original file
is saved as SYSLEVEL.BAK under CS2\BACKUP\UQ05603\.
INSTALLING PTF UQ05603
----------------------
Follow these directions to update your system and install PTF UQ05603:
1. Shutdown the Communications System/2 if it is currently running.
2. Place the first diskette in the A: drive.
3. From the A: directory issue:
INSTALL Y:
where Y is the drive where CS/2 is installed.
4. Place the requested diskette in the a: drive when prompted.
5. When the installation complete message is displayed,
restart the Communications System/2.
6. Run the TQ migration utility. See Migration For TQ Tables section.
MIGRATION FOR TQ TABLES (required)
----------------------------------
This utility will examine the Table definitions (Queue's don't need
to be migrated) in cs2tqf00.cfs and will migrate the tables if necessary.
Note: is is VERY unlikely that any tables on OS/2 will need to be
migrated and in that case no changes will be made to the table files.
On AIX, most tables will need to be migrated, but there is little chance
of any data being lost or the table being corrupted if the table is not
migrated. The only possible result of not modifying a table would
be that it would appear to fill up before it is actually full.
To migrate the TQ tables:
1. Start DAE.
2. Execute cs2tqmig from the toolkit.

time out condition on a SEND_WAIT command. The baselog
PN67417 TQ - CS2_TQ_GETNEXT API corrupts memory when accessing a table
on a remote node with a different architecture.
PN67815 TCP/IP - message pool corruption by cs2tcr00 (TCP/IP REM) when
two local CCBs are configured and data transparency path used.
PN68287 TCP/IP -can't establish TCP/IP session. The SO_KEEPALIVE option
applied to communications sockets helps TCP/IP REM detect link
failures in conjunction with the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 system
variable 'KEEPALIVE'. To modify this variable use the 'INETCFG'
command (ie, 'INETCFG KEEPALIVE=10'). For APAR PN68287, apply
IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 APAR PN59177 (language specific).
PN70121 Initialization - some control block file sizes result in
corrupt RD pool at initialization.
PN70314 CDIN list verb does not support huge data strings.
PN70592 MMS device support - SYS3175 has occurred on cs2mmr00.exe
intermittently.
PN75974 NLS - OS2<->AIX performance problem.
PN75975 Base logger (cs2blr00) loops when logging to remote node and a
communications error occurs.
PN75976 DDMS - program hangs when the sequence is D_DEFLOAD
then D_SVHDR.
PN75978 cs2shell - windows are going away when opening data folder.
PN75979 cs2shell - when modifying a table, the number and length are
changed to 1.
PN75980 CS2_TQ_DELETE fails with CSR1385.
PN75981 CS2_TEMP_RES API fails (depending on char count in prefix).
PN77061 cs2shell traps on save option when resource already defined.
PN77882 DDMS floating point overflow error when device data larger
than 1e+10 and percent deadbanding used on remote variable.

NOTES FOR UQ05603
-----------------
CS/2 OI Requirement on WARP 4.0+
--------------------------------
Several customers are running CS/2 on Warp 4.0 successfully.
Be aware the following requirement for CS/2 OI due to
Warp 4.0's restructure of files. During Warp 4.0 installation
do "selective install" of the "optional system utility" to
install the EZVU files necessary to display CS/2 OI panels.
Selective install provides the following files needed for CS/2 OI:
\os2\dll\dtm.dll
\os2\dll\cpispfpc.dll
\os2\dll\stxtdmpc.dll
\os2\install\dmpc.exe
TCP/IP 3.0+ GetHostByName Work-around (PN86849)
-----------------------------------------------
Due to TCP/IP introducing some non-backward compatible code in
the 3.0 release level, CS/2's TCP/IP REM initialization fails
due to an error from a GetHostByName call. Here are work-around
suggestions for anyone planning to use CS/2 with TCP/IP 3.0+.
Prior to TCP/IP 3.0, GetHostByName looked for the "resolv" file.
The idea is to retain a copy of the "resolv" file (from
\mptn\etc\resolv2), in one (or more) of the following ways:
1). Manually copy "resolv2" to "resolv" and set "resolv" to
read only.
The problem with this option is "resolv" will never be
updated when "resolv2" changes, until you manually copy
it again.
2). Add 1 extra line in the startup.cmd file:
...
call tcpstart.cmd
---> copy \mptn\etc\resolv2 \mptn\etc\resolv
...
The problem with this option is "resolv" will not be updated
when "resolv2" changes after a TCPIP or MPTS reconfiguration,
until you reboot the machine, or if someone does not use
startup.cmd and manually runs tcpstart.cmd.
3). Add 1 extra line at the end of tcpstart.cmd file:
...
...
---> copy \mptn\etc\resolv2 \mptn\etc\resolv
A potential problem with this option is when TCPIP is
reinstalled, then you have to remember to recreate that
line again in tcpstart.cmd.
4). Add 1 extra line at the beginning of cs2start.cmd file:
---> copy \mptn\etc\resolv2 \mptn\etc\resolv
...
...
A potential problem with this option is when DAE is
reinstalled, then you have to remember to recreate that
line again in cs2start.cmd.
5). A safe option would be combining options #2, 3 and 4.
Maximum Connections cs2shell Help (PQ06217)
-------------------------------------------
The cs2shell help on the "Maximum connections" field in the
Communication access resource (CACB) is used not only for
NETBIOS, but also for TCP/IP communication.
In the future (not on this PTF), the help text will have
"/TCPIP" added to the Maximum Connections - Help panel:
"Use this entry field for NETBIOS/TCPIP communication only.
It is ignored by all other communication. This field is optional.
Valid values are 1 through 65535. There is a limit on the number
of connections handled by this communication access resource that
can be active simultaneously. If more connections are needed, old
ones are broken and reused."
TQ Member Information cs2shell Help (PN88528)
---------------------------------------------
The cs2shell help on the "Member information" "Number of members"
and "Length of member" fields in the Table resource are switched.
The maximum length of member should be 60000 bytes and the
maximum number of members should be 9999999.
CS/2 & CS/HP Communication Fix (CS/HP APAR PQ04326)
---------------------------------------------------
A TCP/IP communication problem between CS/2 and CS/HP requires
the CS/2 TCP/IP level from UN87209 (PTF 2), UQ05603 (this PTF)
or newer. For the CS/HP fix, request CS/HP APAR PQ04326 from the
Support Center.
Utility Tools (DCR4963)
-----------------------
The cs2utt Utility Tools have been added to CS/2 with this PTF,
including the new Tables and Queues Utility Tool. Refer to the
cs2\toolkit\cs2utt.doc for details.
DDMS Doc Change (PQ03833)
-------------------------
Page 11-281 of the Device Data Management Support
Book update needs the NOTE at the bottom added:
d_writevar Table 11-150 Field Descriptions
Name Type Description
bfr_sz short Variable write: Specify the size (in bytes)
integer of bfr_addr. If the data consists of multiple
elements, you must pack the elements in the
buffer. The size must be equal to or greater
than the variable's element_no field
multiplied by the element_len field. (Both
fields are defined by d_defrvar.)
.
Note: If the size is too small, an E_INVPARM
error is returned.

Printer REM Consuming Excessive CPU Time
----------------------------------------
The following applies if you observe a large amount of CPU time consumed
on your processor and a printer is not connected to the LPT1 port. This
has been observed, for example, on a 100 Mz Pentium with each failed
print request resulting in abnormally high CPU utilization during a
period of 2 minutes.
The default CS/2 configuration loads the printer REM, CS2PSR01 during
DAE system initialization. It also starts one printer resouce, USERLPT1
at the initialization of its server, the printer REM. USERLPT1 uses
LPT1 as its operating system printer. By default, base logged messages
of error severity are set to print to USERLPT1.
If you notice the majority of the CPU utilized during CS/2 initiali-
zation or during failed print requests, do any one of the following:
* Connect a printer to the LPT1 port.
* Set the CS2PSR01 application resource to NOT load during system
initialization.
* Set the USERLPT1 printer resource to NOT initialize at server start.
Printer Binary Option Added to Print 4029-formatted File (PN79627)
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is an update to the DAE Communication System Technical
Guide and Reference, Print and Spool Support chapter, Start Parameters
section. The parameters for printer resource continuation buffer
timeout and printer resource maximum errors remain as before.
| In order to enable optional start parameters with the menu-based
| utilities, remember to set the "Use load parameters from ACB" flag.
Printer REM Start Parameters
----------------------------
The printer REM ACB can contain the following optional start
parameters.
| Note it is also possible to configure multiple printer resources which
| need not all use the same set of start parameters. This is done by
| configuring two or more printer REMs each with a desired set of start
| parameters, then assigning each printer resource to be served by the
| printer REM with appropriate start parameters.
| Printer resource mode
|
| This start parameter specifies whether to print in text or binary
| mode. The parameter is not used on all platforms.
|
| The default print mode is text. With text mode on the OS/2 platform,
| for example, each new-line character is converted to a carriage
| return / linefeed pair.
|
| When you specify binary mode, data is sent to the printer exactly as
| received. No conversion takes place. This parameter may be useful
| to print data formatted for a specific printer. In addition, binary
| mode causes no new-line to be appended to the end of a print job. It
| causes the Printer resource append new-line parameter to default to
| not append a new-line. (This can be overridden by using the Printer
| resource append new-line parameter to explicitly force an ending
| new-line. See the Printer resource append new-line parameter
| description for details.)
|
| This parameter has the following format:
|
| PRMD=x
|
| where x specifies text or binary print mode.
|
| 0 Specifies the default of text mode.
| 1 Specifies binary mode.
Printer resource append new-line
This start parameter allows a user to choose whether or not a
new-line will be appended to the end of a print job. A new-line
consists of a carriage return and line feed control character pair in
OS/2 text file mode. This parameter has the following format.
PRAN=x
where x specifies whether or not a new-line will be appended at the
end of a print job.
0 Specifies that a new-line will not be appended.
| This becomes the default only if the Printer resource
| mode parameter is used to specify binary mode.
| 1 Specifies that a new-line will be appended. This is the default
| when the Printer resource mode parameter is not used, or when
| the printer resource mode parameter explicitly specifies text
| mode.
The appended new-line may be needed with some printers to ensure that
the last print line is flushed from the print buffer when a print job
is completed. It also ensures that no two print jobs will print on
the same line, regardless of job content.
Guidelines for VisualAge C++ DAE Applications (PN91577)
-------------------------------------------------------
Applications do not work correctly when compiled with C++.
Hints if you use VisualAge C++ for DAE Applications:
- Add 'DEFINE CS2CPLUSPLUS' statement before you
reference any CS2 files
- Add 'extern "C" ' statement to prototype CS/2 header since
you are mixing C++ with C DLL
- memset all DAE structures before using them
- do not compile with pack option
TXE_OPT_DISCONNECT Flag Provided on CS2_TRANSACT (PQ05429)
----------------------------------------------------------
Update to DAE Application Programming publication, CS2_TRANSACT chapter:
The work_opt and fail_opt fields also support the following.
work_opt You may optionally specify TXE_OPT_DISCONNECT to
disconnect from the database after this transaction
successfully completes. TXE_OPT_DISCONNECT may
be combined with other work_opt flag values, for
example TXE_OPT_COMMIT.
fail_opt You may optionally specify TXE_OPT_DISCONNECT to
disconnect from the database if this transaction fails.
TXE_OPT_DISCONNECT may be combined with other fail_opt
flag values, for example TXE_OPT_ROLLBACK.
Database/Transaction Configuration File (optional) (PN88060)
------------------------------------------------------------
The Database/Transaction (DB/Txe) component uses an optional configuration
file, cs2dbtxe.cnf. This file is located in your Distributed Application
Environment system path on the node where the DB/Txe server resides. The
file is provided by default but may be modified, deleted or renamed if
desired.
The DB/Txe configuration file is used to specify the following options:
* Txe mirror filtering (See "Txe Mirror Filtering" below.)
* DB/Txe trace extension (See "DB/Txe Trace Extension" below.)
Comments and blank lines are ignored in the file. Only keywords, such as
TxeMirrorFilter, are recognized. Keywords must start in column 1 and are
case insensitive.
Txe Mirror Filtering (optional) (PN88060)
-----------------------------------------
This optional feature applies only if DB/Txe mirroring is enabled. It is
available for both synchronous and asynchronous mirroring.
The DB/Txe component offers the option of filtering secondary mirrored
CS2_TRANSACT requests from reissue to the secondary database exactly as
originated. Mirror filtering is configured by specifying Transaction
mirror return code pairs in the DB/Txe configuration file, cs2dbtxe.cnf, on
the node where the primary database resides. The return code pairs are
specified as a TxeMirrorFilter setting. They determine which failed
primary requests are filtered from mirroring directly to the secondary
database. Each pair consists of an error domain and error value.
cs2dbtxe.cnf is shipped with one Txe mirror filter return code pair
by default:
TxeMirrorFilter = 3,-911. /* Don't mirror SQL deadlocks */
In this setting, 3 is the error domain of TXE_SQL_ERR. -911 is the error
value for the SQL error, "the current transaction has been rolled back
because of a deadlock or timeout." Although deadlock prevention is
preferred to detection, occasional database deadlocks may be unavoidable in
some applications. Here, mirrored CS2_TRANSACT requests can be filtered
from direct reissue to the secondary database to prevent creating an
out-of-synchronization condition, or further deadlock.
An example of three pairs specified is:
TxeMirrorFilter = 3,-911. 1,121. 3,100. /* RCs to filter from mirroring */
When a CS2_TRANSACT request is filtered from mirroring to the secondary
database resource, the parameters of the client's CS2_TRANSACT structure
are examined. If the fail_opt flag in the CS2_TRANSACT structure is set to
TXE_OPT_ROLLBACK (or TXE_OPT_COMMIT), the secondary database resource is
rolled back (or committed, as appropriate). This is done in an attempt to
better synchronize to the primary database.
When a CS2_TRANSACT request results in a Txe error, it returns a non-zero
error domain and value to the client. Typically, the CS2_TRANSACT CSR code
returned is CS2_TXE_ERROR (CSR2820). When mirrored requests are filtered,
the CS2_TRANSACT API returns a similar code, however, it is tailored for
mirror filtering:
CS2_TXE_ERROR_MIR_FLTR (CSR2821) - CS2_TXE_ERROR with secondary
CS2_TRANSACT request filtered from mirroring.
In addition, base log messages confirm the acceptance of the mirror filter
setting, and provide details of mirror errors and filtering. Refer to the
message help for further information.
Note that CS2_TRANSACT always returns the same value from the API as the
RDS return code (cnretcd field).
DB/Txe Trace Extension (optional) (PQ08183)
-------------------------------------------
This optional feature applies only if DB/Txe trace is enabled. Enable
the DB/Txe trace by setting the trace flag in the DB NIB segment; this
is the main DB/Txe trace toggle. Optionally, you may also specify
extended tracing in cs2dbtxe.cnf. The following setting may be set:
* (no setting) /* Base trace. Excludes trace extensions. */
* traceExtension = DB_TRACE_MALLOC /*Trace only memory alloc/dealloc*/
* traceExtension = DB_TRACE_FULL /* Full trace option */
Refer to cs2dbtxe.cnf for details.

Configuring Database for RDBMS Support
--------------------------------------
IMPORTANT FOR USING BUILT-IN SUPPORT FOR RDBMS:
In this enhancement, the database component was reorganized.
As a result, you must copy the dynamic library required for the
DBCB database type accessed locally by your DAE applications.
To enable local support for a particular database type, you must
copy the file listed below to \CS2\DLL\DBSYSTBL.DLL:
RDBMS File Notes
------- ---------- ------------------------------------------
DB2/2 DBSYSDB2.DLL Be sure to rebind your databases after in-
stalling this PTF and copying this file.
Check your \cs2\sys\cs2start.cmd file:
* Uncomment the STARTDBM statement if you
want DB2/2 started with DAE;
| * Place your \SQLLIB and \MUGLIB in DAE's
| PATH and DPATH statements. Ensure the
| LIBPATH in your config.sys includes your
| \MUGLIB\DLL directory. If this is not
| correct, you can encounter UPM error
| 0xFB05 during logon.
Non-SQL DBSYSNON.DLL This is the shipped default dbsystbl.dll.
Configuring Database for DB/Txe Mirroring
-----------------------------------------
This step applies only to DB/Txe Mirroring users:
If you are using Synchronous or Asynchronous mirroring, configure
your DBCBs. To configure Txe Mirroring using the DAE Shell:
* In the primary DBCB for a database:
o Specify a role of Primary.
o Select either synchronous or asynchronous mirroring:
Select the pushbutton to make calls synchronously;
-OR-
Select the pushbutton to use local mirror application
resource.
o Specify a secondary database resource.
* In the secondary DBCB for a database:
o Specify a Role of Secondary.
To configure Txe Mirroring using CNFGTOOL:
* In the primary DBCB for a database:
o Specify a role of Primary.
o Specify a secondary DBCB.
o Set the mirroring enabled flag.
o Select either synchronous or asynchronous mirroring:
Set synchronous transaction mirroring to yes;
-OR-
Set asynchronous mirroring ACB on this node to yes.
* In the secondary DBCB for a database:
o Specify a Role of Secondary.
