Patch:  3.6-COU-0024

Component: Tivoli Software Distribution Gateway

General Description: 
 Courier 3.6 Gateway Patch
 APARs: IX89291
 Supersedes: None
                            
Problems Fixed:
   Defect IX89291
   Symptom:
     Software distribution doesn't allow the execution of .ncf files
     (scheduled before or after distribution) on netware endpoints.
   Additional Info:
     This problem was caused by the difference between the procedure 
     to load .nlm and .ncf files on netware servers. NLM files need 
     to be load with the command "load" before the file name; NCF 
     files do not need it.
       
Architecture(s): Netware 3, Netware 4, Netware 5

Applying the Patch:


    1)  Extract the patch:

    On a Unix system:
        
        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
        of this release note, assume that the symbol $PATCH points to
        this directory.

        # cd $PATCH
        # tar xvf 3.6-COU-0024.tar


        On a Windows NT system:

        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the purpose
        of this release note, assume that the symbol %PATCH% points to
        this directory.

        > %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env
        > X:              
          ^-- 'X' is drive letter where %PATCH% is found
        > cd %PATCH%
        > tar xvf 3.6-COU-0024.tar

        NOTE: If you are extracting the tar image on a Windows NT
        system, you will find an executable for tar in the TME
        installation on Windows NT under bin/w32-ix86/tools/tar.exe.
