abstract

This download provides updated files used for SMS functions such as Sbackup or NetWare Navigator. These files are identical with those files tested and released in NetWare 4.11. Readmes are also included which deal with disaster recovery strategies for NDS. DSBACKER.NLM for NetWare v4.10 is also included.

installation

Copy the files from this download to SYS:SYSTEM (flag existing files in SYS:SYSTEM RW and rename or copy these files to a new location for saving, if desired).
The SYSTEM/NLS sub-directory contains subdirectories which contain the necessary language files that correspond to the updated nlms. They should be copied to the SYS:SYSTEM\NLS\ {lang #} directory, where {lang #} equals 4,6,7,8,12 or 14.
       lang # language
        4 US English
        6 French
        7 German
        8 Italian
        12 Portuguese
        14 Spanish

The client files for WIN95 are also included and should be applied to the appropriate client directories..

symptoms

These updated files include nlms which were developed and tested for NetWare 4.11, and are now made available for use with earlier versions of NetWare.
Among other issues, they will fix issues when authenticating in backup software while using languages other than English.
Other minor issues were also fixed in these updated nlms. Some of these issues are outlined in the Solutions section of this document.

solutions

Resolved problems -

All NetWare file system TSAs -
      -Added code to restore EAs on volumes. They were backed up but not restored.
    -In BackupTrustees check for error code 0x9C and 0xFE both indicating no more trustees. 0x9C is the old return value used since 3.11, 0xFE is new.

TSA311 -
      -DOS TSA cannot reattach to server if DOS workstation is not shutdown cleanly. Resolved race condition between establish new connection and clear abandoned connection.

    -Would not restore MAC name space information to all volumes.Replaced a CLIB call "GetNameSpaceName" because it's return code was inconsistant on some volumes on NetWare 3.11.
    -Replaced link-time import of symbol "DOSValidCharBitMap" with run-time import because sysbol is not defined in NetWare 3.11.
    
WSMAN -
      -DOS TSA cannot reattach to server if DOS workstation is not shutdown cleanly. Resolved race condition between establish new connection and clear abandoned connection.

TSA312.NLM -
     -Corrects a problem when using Arcserve where no connection can be established between the host and destination servers.
                
TSANDS.NLM -
      -Code has been added to free resources allocated by the previous checkin. An alloc was added to the function BuildResourceList and the corresponding free was not added to ReleaseTargetService.
    -Also when Engines call TSANDS for the "ERROR LOG" and "SKIPPED DATA SETS"
files error were generated since then names were translated and should not have been. This has been fixed by adding literal strings for each into tsands.nlm.
