Network Station - AS/400: NSM Release 3.0 PTF Information

Applicable to: World-Wide


AS/400 PTF

Fix Description

NSM 3.0.1 (PTF1)

Available Electronically September 4, 1998. It includes new boot monitor V3.0.4.

SF51015

Improper Keyboard Mappings with ICA
This PTF will correct the keyboard mapping problems between ALT, CNTRL, and the left scroll and keys.

SF51016

Field for DHCP Server Name Too Small
The field will correctly store the server IP with this PTF.

SF51017

Multiple emulator sessions fail in double byte locales

SF51018

WinCenter Parameter and Disappearing Screens
For WinCenter customers, the ${PASSWORD} parameter is still supported for Release 3. Also, the "Authentication completed in error" dialog has been removed.

SF51019

NC Navigator Fails to Execute Java Reflection API
The 40-bit NC Navigator browser on the Network Station is unable to execute correctly Java applets that use Reflection APIs that are a feature of JVM 1.1x. The same applets work fine if run using the applet viewer on the Network Station.
This PTF fixes the problem of the NC Navigator browser not being able to execute applets that use some of the new JVM 1.1.x, features like reflection APIs, JAR files, and resource bundles.

SF51020

Multiple JVM Fixes
1) Some non-English (not 8859-1 encoding keys are not displayed by Java.
2) It is too difficult to enable JITC on a series 1000.
3) After a Java low memory message, the network station panics or hangs.
4) There is a memory leak when handling images or fonts.
5) Out of memory errors. This includes errors when running with JITC_ENABLED=YES.
6) This fix corrects a panic that resulted in kmfree being on the analyzed dump stack.
7) On the NWS 1000, and NWS 300, the JVM seems to be incorrectly fetching the value of #729FFF for the SystemColor:window for a Java application. The incorrect color is displayed on the right half of the given application.
8) Java code that works with Host Access Class Library APIs does not work with the Network Station Presentation Space PIs.

SF51021

Some DHCP Servers Do Not Allow the Client's Self-Assigned IP Address to Be in the Initial Client DHCP Packet
The DHCP server will reject the DISCOVER packet and will not assign an IP to the client.

SF49882

Enable Group Support for Japanese Locales
Problem using Select User's Group setup task for Japanese locales. When selecting a group for a user, the wrong information is being saved to the configuration file.

SF50137

STRNSSA Task 3400 Incorrect Admin Server Directives
Admin server access to NSM on AS/400 system is not working for OS/400 V4R2. Browsers will receive 404 error trying to use the http Admin port 2001.

SF50279

Login Daemon Return Codes Incorrect
Changing password with an incorrect new password will not display an "invalid new password" message.
The QYTCUSVR program in library QYTC will be granted QPGMR *USE authority. This will allow the call to QYTCUSVR to be placed in the startup program so the daemon can start automatically at system IPL.
