3.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THIS PTF

PTF 3.1.1.2 applies to the following release:

   Version 3.1.1          

Ensure that IBM WebSphere Voice Server Version 3.1.1 for AIX - Use 
with WebSphere Voice Response for AIX, program number 5724-D38, 
and at least one IBM WebSphere Voice Server Version 3.1.1 for AIX 
Language Support are already installed.

To determine the current level, enter this command:

   lslpp -L "viavoice*"

To display the APAR descriptions of defects addressed by this 
PTF, type the following command:

   instfix -T -d devicename

where "devicename" is the name of the device containing the media
on which the PTF is distributed (for example, /dev/rmt0.1).

CAUTION: To avoid downtime due to accidents or errors, back up your
entire system image prior to installing this PTF. Refer to the
DirectTalk or Voice Response for AIX Installation guide for the
information on backing up a system image.

To install this PTF, use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT)
as instructed in the following steps. Note that the SMIT panels that
are described are those which are supported on AIX 5.1, and may
differ slightly on your system. However, you should still be able
to use SMIT to navigate to the correct menu. If you need additional
information about using SMIT and installing software, please refer
to your AIX Installation Guide.

A certain amount of free disk space is required for the installation
of this PTF. If there is not enough space available, SMIT will
advise you of this prior to attempting the install process.

Installation Instructions

1.  On each server, log on as a member of the group 'vvt', 
    then shut down all IBM WebSphere Voice Server components by 
    using the 'pm exit' command. If this is a TTS server with 
    at least one concatenative voice installed, also execute 
    'cmmcmd shutdown' to unload the voice(s).

2.  On each client, shut down all DirectTalk/Voice Response 
    components by using the 'DT_shutdown' command.

3.  Log on to AIX as 'root'.

4.  Type 'smit' and press Enter.

5.  Select 'Software Installation and Maintenance' and press Enter.

6.  Select 'Install and Update Software' and press Enter.

7.  Select 'Update Software by Fix (APAR)' and press Enter.

8.  Press F4 to list the available devices. Select the device
    where the update media is loaded and press Enter. Alternatively,
    overtype the field with the device name.

9.  A panel is then displayed where additional install options may
    be specified.

    The remainder of the options can be left as the default values.
    However, it is recommended that the "COMMIT software updates?" 
    option be set to "NO", since it is not possible to remove 
    the update once it has been committed. You can commit the 
    update at a later date, if you wish, once you are satisfied 
    with it. If you do decide to set this field to "NO", then 
    it will be necessary to set "SAVE replaced files?" to "YES".

    Note: Some of the options may need to be altered if there is not
          enough free disk space available for the install. See your
          AIX Installation Guide for more details.

    Finally, ensure that the media is loaded correctly, and press
    Enter to start the install.

10. After installing the PTF, re-import the ViaVoice Custom Server.
    Refer to "Setting up WebSphere Voice Response to use WebSphere 
    Voice Server" in Chapter 3 of the Administrator's Guide for 
    details on importing the ViaVoice Custom Server.

    Note: You must stop the Custom Server if it is running before 
          re-importing.

This concludes the update installation.

4.0  KNOWN LIMITATIONS

o  When using annotations to switch Formant text-to-speech languages 
   in a multilingual environment, the voice characteristics set for 
   the current language will be used for the newly activated language. 
   To change the voice characteristics for the newly activated language, 
   specify the desired voice-characteristics and language annotations.

o  Multilingual text-to-speech processes (ttsp) cannot be configured
   for Hong Kong Cantonese, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese. 

o  User-supplied values for all path names cannot be DBCS characters.

o  Text-to-speech is not supported on AIX 5.1 with Maintenance level 3.
