PTF for 1.4.0 Transaction Program Binding problem on Windows/NT: 10/99

A workaround is now available for the problem, introduced on the 1.4.0 CDs, having to do with linking and dropping transaction programs on the Terminal Settings notebook Bindings page. The problem, which is only on Windows/NT, was that the drop would cause the dropped program to show up on a different transaction ID than was clicked on. Fix pack A provided a partial fix. The new PTF should complete the fix.

To install this fix, first download DCCGUINT.ZIP*** This zip file contains DCCGUINT.DLL which should be extracted from the zip file and be copied into the \DCCONN\DLL directory.

NOTE: THIS PTF SHOULD ONLY BE APPLIED IF YOU'VE INSTALLED FROM THE 1.4.0 CDs AND HAVE ALSO APPLIED FIX PACK A FOR THOSE CDs.

In all cases, the value for the year used to show up as 100 for the year 2000, 101 for the year 2001, and so on.

In addition, the following date-related problems, not specific to the year 2000, were fixed for the Xact_Age command, the first of these existed in all versions of Transaction Connection:

NOTE: THIS PTF SHOULD ONLY BE APPLIED IF THE LATEST VERSION OF DCCONNECT/TRANSACTION CONNECTION THAT YOU HAVE INSTALLED IS FROM THE -03 DCCONNECT CD AND YOU HAVE APPLIED FIX PACK D. IF YOU HAVE NOT INSTALLED FIXPACK D FOR THE -03 CD THEN YOU MUST DO SO BEFORE APPLYING THIS PTF.

A separate self-extracting zip file is available for each operating system:

Each self-extracting zip file contains following files when expanded:

  READ.ME       - Describes the problem and includes the same installation
                  instructions given below
  TC2.EXE       - Fixed Transaction Connection Executable
  XISDBCOM.BND  - 1st of 3 DB2 bind files that go with TC2.EXE
  XIS.BND       - 2nd of 3 DB2 bind files that go with TC2.EXE
  XIS_C.BND     - 3rd of 3 DB2 bind files that go with TC2.EXE

Installation instructions are as follows:

  1. Shutdown all sessions of Transaction Connection, if any are running

  2. Create a temporary subdirectory, such as C:\TCFIX, in which the self-extracting zip file will be expanded and make that the current directory:
         md c:\tcfix
         c:
         cd \tcfix
    
  3. Run the self-extracting zip file from wherever it is located. For example if the self-extracting zip file is on drive A:
         On Windows NT run: a:\y2ktcnt
    
           or
    
         On OS/2 run: a:\y2ktcos2
    

    This will expand the files into the temporary subdirectory.

  4. Copy the expanded files to their appropriate location. For example, if Transaction Connection was installed in C:\DCCONN\TC enter the following commands:
         copy tc2.exe c:\dcconn\tc
         copy x*.bnd  c:\dcconn\tc
    
  5. Transaction Connection can now be restarted

Installing this fix pack on top of the DCConnect -03 CD with or without prior fix packs installed will bring your DCConnect products to the latest level.

The .EXE files below are self-extracting ZIP files containing the fixes along with a README file. Create a temporary directory for the zip file and run the executable to unzip it. The README file explains how to install the fixpack as well as fix details.

The file DCTPB2FX.HTM provides details about the fixes along with installation instructions.


Data Collection Transaction Building Tool Release 2.0 - Fixpack C: 05/99

This package contains fixes for 32-bit DCTPB on OS/2 and Windows NT. DCTPB2FC.EXE*** is a self-extracting ZIP file containing the fix files along with a readme file. Create a temporary directory for this file and run it with the -d parameter to expand it.

The file DCTPB2FX.HTM provides details about the fixes along with installation instructions.


HostConnect for MAPICS 1.0 Fixes

This package contains the latest fix for HostConnect for MAPICS.

HCMFIX.EXE*** is a self-extracting ZIP file containing a README and a new HCM23.SCR and HCM22.SCR AHISS script files. These new scripts fix the GRN field length for customers using MAPICS Release 2.3 (15 bytes instead of 26), and fixes the message handling sections of both the R22 and R23 scripts. These changes were incorporated in the ERPbridge for MAPICS product on the -03 version of the DCConnect CD. The README explains where to place the new file.


DCC/2 1.11 Fixes (includes 7524 IS 1.02 fixes)

This package contains the latest fixes (PTF 1.03 as of 4-15-97) for DCC/2 1.11, DC for DAE 1.11 and 7524 Interface Support 1.02. If your DCC/2 is not yet up to the 1.11 level or your 7524 Interface Support is not up to the 1.02 level, be sure to upgrade to that level before applying any fixes from this PTF package.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1:

7524 Interface Support 1.02 became available on 2-20-96. It now features three pricing tiers. Tier 1 allows up to 10 7524 terminals to be configured. Tier 2 allows up to 20 and tier 3 allows up to 127. All customers of record of 7524 Interface Support version 1.00 should have automatically been shipped tier 3 of 7524 Interface Support version 1.02. Tier 3 of version 1.02 is equivalent to version 1.00 of the product - except that it includes all fixes as of 2-20-96.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2:

Since this fix package also contains fixes to 7524 Interface Support you must apply the fixes after 7524 Interface Support is installed (if you are using that product). Therefore in the situation where you had already installed DCC/2 1.11 and had applied the fix package and later you installed 7524 Interface Support, you will need to reapply the fix package so that both DCC/2 and 7524 Interface Support are at the same level.

You can download DCC111FX.EXE***, which is a self-extracting ZIP file containing the fix files along with a readme file and an installation command file. This file can be unzipped onto a diskette or onto your hard file. The installation can then be run from the place that you have unzipped the file.

See the README file for more details. You can view the README file online.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1:

7524 Interface Support 1.02 became available on 2-20-96. It now features three pricing tiers. Tier 1 allows up to 10 7524 terminals to be configured. Tier 2 allows up to 20 and tier 3 allows up to 127. All customers of record of 7524 Interface Support version 1.00 will automatically be shipped tier 3 of 7524 Interface Support version 1.02. Tier 3 of version 1.02 is equivalent to version 1.00 of the product - except that it includes all fixes as of 2-20-96.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2:

The DCC102FX PACKAGE contains two files:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Fixes in this package that are dated prior to November 10, 1994 are also incorporated in the 1.10 version of DCC/2 that became available in December 1994. All other fixes in this package are also included in the fix package that was created for DCC/2 1.10. That fix package is called DCC110FX. Fixes included in DCC110FX apply to both the 32-bit and 16-bit parts of DCC/2 1.10.

This package, DCC102FX, will continue to be updated with any fixes to the 16-bit code. This will be done for those DCC/2 users who are running under an OS/2 level previous to OS/2 2.0. (DCC/2 1.10 requires OS/2 2.0 or later to install).

EZVU Runtime Product Diskette

Self-extracting ZIP file containing the files needed for the EZVU II product. EZVU is required by both our DOS Data Collector product as well as our AIX Data Collector/6000 Buildtime product but has been withdrawn and is no longer orderable.

The files contained in the self-extracting ZIP can be expanded on to a blank diskette by making A: the current drive and running the executable wherever it may be (e.g. C:\TEMP\EZVURUNT). The resulting diskette is equivalent to the product diskette for EZVU-VU II Runtime, version 2.09 that was previously orderable.

The EZVURUNT PACKAGE contains one file:
