1.0  INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
------------------------------

1.1  INSTALLING FROM AN iSeries SYSTEM
--------------------------------------
   The following method would be used if you have received the iSeries
   Access for Windows service pack through the iSeries PTF ordering process
   either as an individual PTF order or as part of an OS/400 PTF 
   cumulative package.

   Once this service pack has been applied to an iSeries
   system with the LODPTF and APYPTF iSeries commands, it can be
   installed on individual PC's with the 
   "Check Service Level" or "Install Service Pack" shortcuts
   in the iSeries Access for Windows Service folder.

   Check Service Level, controlled by the iSeries Access for Windows Properties
   Service tab, will detect that the Service source directory has been
   updated, and will present the user with the option to install the
   service pack at startup time as well.

   The APYPTF will update the iSeries Access for Windows install image directory
   (\QIBM\ProdData\Access\Windows\Install\Image) on the 
   iSeries.  Any client that installs iSeries Access for Windows (or selected
   components) from this image will automatically receive this service
   pack level (no extra steps or reboots).  In this scenario, the 
   service pack cannot be uninstalled on the client PC
   because it is merged in with the base release.

   RMVPTF will restore your iSeries install image to the prior service 
   level (or the base release if there was no prior service pack 
   applied). 
     

1.2  INSTALLING FROM A LOCAL OR NETWORK DRIVE
---------------------------------------------
   The following method would be used if you have received the iSeries
   Access for Windows service pack as a set of install image files.

   Install the service pack by running the "SETUP.EXE" program
   from your PC. This program is part of the install image files
   shipped with a service pack.  If you change the iSeries Access for Windows 
   Properties Service tab Source Directory to the directory 
   containing these install image files, you can also use the "Check 
   Service Level" or "Install Service Pack" shortcuts in the iSeries
   Access for Windows Service folder.

   Before running this program, copy the service pack install image
   files to a local drive on your PC or to any accessible network
   drive. Once the install setup program has completed, you can then
   remove the install image files from that drive.


1.3  COMBINING THE SERVICE PACK WITH AN iSeries ACCESS FOR WINDOWS INSTALLATION IMAGE 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   The following method could be used if you downloaded the service pack
   image from the iSeries Access for Windows web page location: 
      http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/clientaccess/casp.htm

   The iSeries Access for Windows service pack PTFs are combined
   with the original iSeries Access for Windows installation image in
   QIBM\ProdData\Access\Windows\Install\Image

   This means that a user can install (or upgrade) iSeries Access for Windows 
   from this combined image directory and get the latest applied service
   level automatically in one integrated step - since the original 
   installation image files have been replaced by updated versions via 
   the service pack PTF.  Selectively installing components from this combined
   image directory will also automatically get the latest applied service level
   for that component.

   If you copy the iSeries Access for Windows install image to another directory 
   (for instance, on another server), you can use the PTFFORM.EXE download
   in the FTP directory to duplicate the function of the iSeries PTF by
   following these steps:

   1.  Download PTFFORM.EXE (from the FTP /subcomps directory) to a clean 
       temporary directory.
   2.  Run PTFFORM.EXE to expand the service pack files.
   3.  Delete PTFFORM.EXE after expansion.
   4.  Copy the contents of this temporary directory over a iSeries Access for Windows
       installation image, selecting the option to replace any existing file.

   Now you have combined this service pack level with the iSeries Access for Windows
   installation image, so that users can install iSeries Access for Windows plus this
   service pack in one integrated step.  Note that this procedure also works if
   the installation image has already been combined with a prior service pack
   level.  This procedure will replace the prior service level in the combined
   image with this new level. 


2.0  RESTRICTIONS
-----------------

2.1  iSeries NAVIGATOR
----------------------
   1) Due to technology incompatibilities, occasionally a window can 
      be displayed behind other windows when running the iSeries 
      Navigator.  If the iSeries Navigator looks like it has stopped
      working, it is possible that the window you are waiting for is 
      being displayed behind another window on your desktop.  Press the
      Alt key and then the Tab key to see a list of all the windows on 
      your system and select window behind the iSeries Navigator
      window, or another window on your desktop. 

 2.2  iSeries OPERATIONS CONSOLE
--------------------------------
   1) It is recommended that you restrict LAN topologies for LCS 
      attachment to a single, physical ring/hub/switch fabric. In the 
      event that the LCS is used in a larger network topology, 
      broadcast (DHCP) packet filtering is always recommended. 

   2) The maximum number of concurrent active sessions via the 
      PCOM 5250 emulator is 26. 

   3) If an automatic session re-connect to an OS/400 image on an 
      iSeries or iSeries server on iSeries Operations Console start-up fails,
      simply use the manual re-connect process by right-clicking the
      connection profile that failed to re-connect and selecting 
      'Connect'.    

3.0  AUTHORIZED PROGRAM ANALYSIS REPORT (APAR) ABSTRACTS

4.0  INSTALL/UNINSTALL CONSIDERATIONS
-------------------------------------
   The following sections describe additional support and known
   problems that you may notice while using the Install/Uninstall
   function.

4.1  REMOVING THE SERVICE PACK
------------------------------
   To remove this service pack from your PC:

   1. Click the Windows Start button, click on Settings, and then
      click on Control Panel.
   2. Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
   3. Click on the Install/Uninstall tab, click on IBM iSeries Access
      for Windows SI04484 item, and then click on the
      Add/Remove button.
   4. Follow the instructions on the screen.

4.2  UNABLE TO INSTALL FROM THE SERVICE SOURCE?
-----------------------------------------------
   InstallShield is the tool used to provide the install support
   for iSeries Access for Windows.  The same tool is used
   for installing service packs.  Setup.exe has a 2 minute
   timeout which could expire when installing service packs over
   slower communication lines.

   The suggested way of installing the service pack in this case
   is to take one of the options below:

   1)  A setting has been added to the iSeries Access for Windows Properties
       Service tab that will copy the service pack image to the
       PC's temporary directory, install the service pack, then
       remove the copied files.  To use this support you will
       need to specify this setting ("Copy install image to PC
       before installing").

       STATUS:
        No status information is displayed while the files are
        copied.  To determine if the transfers are progressing, look
        in the 'CA400CKV' temporary directory (For example
        C:\Windows\Temp\CA400CKV).  You should see new files appear
        periodically.

       NOTES:
        "Copy install image to PC before installing"
        also works for upgrades to a new release, to avoid
        the time out over slower communication lines.

4.3  SERVICE PACK CONTROL
-------------------------
       To prevent users from installing the Service Pack, an 
       administrator can set the Install Service Pack policy
       restriction, or can use the SP.TXT file.  If the administrator
       places a file named SP.TXT (with a 'N' in the first position of 
       the first line) in the service pack installation image directory,
       the service pack will not be installed.

5.0  DATA TRANSFER CONSIDERATIONS
---------------------------------
   The following sections describe additional support or known
   problems that you may notice while using the Data Transfer
   function.

5.1  TRANSFERRING DATA WHEN THE FILE OR DATA CCSID IS 65535
-----------------------------------------------------------
   WHY DOES MY DATA LOOK LIKE GARBAGE WHEN I PERFORMED A DOWNLOAD?
   By default, the Data Transfer function will not convert data between
   EBCDIC and ASCII if the data is tagged with a CCSID of 65535.  In
   older versions of the Win 95/NT Client Access product, the 65535
   conversion was controlled by the CWBTFR.INI file.  This process
   has been changed, and the conversion is now controlled by the
   Data Transfer user interface.  Once the setting has been made in the
   user interface, it is then stored in the transfer request.  This is
   only true for .TTO and .TFR files.  .RTO and .DT files are still
   controlled by the CWBTFR.INI file.  The conversion setting for .RTO
   and .DT files can be modified in the Data Transfer user interface, 
   but the setting will not be saved.

   The setting to control the conversion is found in the File, 
   Properties information.

   WARNING:  This feature is designed as a workaround for people that 
             can not change the CCSID of their files.  In order for this
             translation to work properly, you must be confident the
             data in the file matches the CCSID of your user profile.
             The design of the iSeries is that data with a 65535 CCSID
             are not to be converted.  This feature will attempt to do a
             conversion of the data from the job CCSID to the PC CCSID.
             This conversion may not work if the data in the file does
             not match the user profile/job CCSID.

   The correct solution to this problem is to appropriately tag the data
   with the correct CCSID.  One way of doing this is by using CHGPF.

   For more information on the 65535 CCSID, please reference the
   iSeries National Language Support Manual.
