This memo.ptf file corresponds to the GA CSD which is defined as PTF U200167 and is divided into the following sections: o Installation and maintenance information o Documentation changes o Special information o New Era of Networks information o Service and technical support o CSD history ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- In order to restore a previous level you must backup replaced files. The GA CSD requires approximately 350MB of disk space to do this. 150 Mb of free space should also be available for TEMPorary space. APPLYING MAINTENANCE ____________________ Maintenance updates are supplied on CD in the form of a Program Temporary Fix (PTF), referred to as a Corrective Service Diskette (CSD). You can find the latest information about available CSDs on the Internet, at this address: http://www.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/ You can also download CSDs from this web site. APPLYING THE MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ____________________________________ The instructions for applying and removing maintenance can be found in Appendix C (Applying Maintenance) of the Websphere MQ Integrator for Windows NT and Windows 2000 Installation Guide (GC34-5600-04) but must be amended by any changes documented below. APPLYING NEW ERA OF NETWORKS MAINTENANCE ________________________________________ As part of the install of maintenance the New Era of Networks Rules and NEONFormatter support will also be upgraded if it is installed. This will present itself as a series of separate InstallShield 6 component installs that take approximately 10-15 minutes in total. To install maintenance for New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter manually run the setup.exe file specified in the autorun.inf file in the nnsy folder on the product CD. You are able to restore a previous level of New Era Of Networks V5.2 by accessing the New Era of Networks installer. By uninstalling the latest version of the infr file, ie n0infr20_45, the previous version will be restored. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DOCUMENTATION CHANGES --------------------- None ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SPECIAL INFORMATION ------------------- None ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NEW ERA OF NETWORKS INFORMATION ------------------------------- None ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT ----------------------------- This is the first release of WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1 for Windows NT and Windows 2000, 5724A8201.
