LAN NETWORK MANAGER V1.1 PTF UR39203 ENHANCEMENTS AND FIXES

05/10/93

LAN Network Manager PTF UR39203 incorporates the following changes:

ENHANCEMENTS:

  1. It is now possible to communicate with CAUs across unlinked bridges.
  2. Several changes have been made to save customization of graphical views. Specifically, the following information is now saved in the view files:
    • Positions of labels and text
    • Positions of tackpoints, including remote bridge tackpoints
    • Display-label options
    • Zoom level
  3. An extra utility (RUPOLL.EXE) has been included, which will poll segment utilization at regular intervals and store it in the database.
  4. A performance enhancement was made to allow the LAN Network Manager program to handle more bridge performance logging activity without data loss.
  5. A performance enhancement was made to allow the LAN Network Manager program to better handle large numbers of LAN Station Manager stations.
  6. A new field, MICROCODE_LEVEL, has been added to the CONFIGURATION table in the database. This field stores each adapter's microcode level.
  7. A new command, LAN HELP, has been added to the command line interface. Various other enhancements have been made to the command line help text in order to provide more useful information.
  8. It is now possible to migrate station definitions from the LAN Network Manager program Version 1.0 without having any location definitions.
  9. When manually linking multiple bridges, there is now an option to receive just one confirmation box, instead of getting one for each bridge.
  10. The Remote Program Update program (DFIRP.EXE) now shuts down gracefully when it encounters network error conditions. To restart it, just type 'START DFIRP.EXE' from an OS/2 command line.

FIXES FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:

  1. Several traps that had occurred using the LAN Network Manager program Version 1.1 on OS/2 2.0 with the OS/2 2.0 Service Pack are now fixed.
  2. A problem is now fixed in which 'Message 1197 not found' was displayed on certain machines when attempting to open a device level view.
  3. The EVT LIST and EVT QUERY commands are now properly enabled to work in all countries.
  4. Error messages no longer appear about missing fonts on XGA machines with the pre-installed version of OS/2 2.0.
  5. Dataloss 37 is now less likely to occur because the release of data link control (DLC) buffers is now handled more efficiently.
  6. The segment level view now filters out 'rebel' splitter and trace adapters that had been displayed as unattached to the CAU when the CAU did not report the adapters.
  7. LNM is now able to consecutively refresh multiple views with automatic refresh set to OFF.
  8. A problem where textual-mode LNM would hang when restarted from Netview or the OS/2 command line has been fixed.
  9. The LIBPATH in CONFIG.SYS is now correctly updated even when the LIBPATH statement is more than 300 characters long.
  10. A problem is now fixed where message 1106 was displayed when opening segment level views of segments where a CAU had been deleted.
  11. When a segment type changes (for example from 4 to 16 MBPS Token Ring), this change is now reflected in the network level view the next time a bridge to the segment is linked.
  12. Alert filters can now reliably block or pass multiple types of generic alerts.
  13. Some problems in the 'print event details' function are now corrected.
  14. On several panels, some fields that had been misaligned or truncated on XGA monitors are now displayed correctly.
  15. Some help panel omissions are corrected.
