CA400OS2OPT CLIENT ACCESS FOR OS2 OPTIMIZED (V3R1M1)


** Last updated 3/28/97 **

This Informational APAR contains current information
pertaining to the Client Access/400 Optimized for
OS/2 client (5763XG1) Version 3 Release 1
Modification 1 (V3R1M1).

Because the information has expanded, we have created
more Informational APARs for this client. This APAR
(II08874) will contain:
   - index to the other V3R1M1 APARs for this client
   - critical "must-see" information
   - current list of available PTFs

OS/2 Warp V4 (Merlin) Compatibility
___________________________________

AS/400 Client Access Optimized for OS/2 client compatibility
testing has been completed to support IBM OS/2 WARP 4
(code named Merlin).  Please see Informational APAR II09778
for important installation, configuration, and limitation
information.

Client Access Toolkit
_____________________

Header files for the Client Access for Optimized OS/2 are
ONLY supplied as part of this toolkit.  The toolkit is
available as a feature code of Client Access.

   Feature 8592 for V3R1
   Feature 8528 for V3R6


READ ME file updates
____________________

In addition to this APAR, you should read the
README.CA4 file located on the first installation
diskette or in the CAOS2 directory after installation.
However, the following PTFs are incorrectly listed in
the V3R1M1 README.CA4 file:

   SF23274, SF23327, SF23328, SF23329, SF23398,
   SF23404, SF23824, SF23833, SF23838, SF23844,
   SF23887, SF24074, SF24075, SF24076, SF24077

These are V3R1M0 PTFs and do not apply to V3R1M1.


OS/2 Access Feature
___________________

Currently Client Access for Optimized OS/2 will not run with
the OS/2 Access Feature from:

  - Communications Server, Version 4
  - Personal Communications AS/400 and 3270 for OS/2 Warp,
    Version 4.1

We are working with the OS/2 Access Feature development team
to resolve this issue.  The Communications Server APAR number
is JR09124.  It will be documented when a fix is available.


Install diskettes
_________________

There was a problem with non-English install diskettes
that has now been fixed with a PTF.  The diskettes ordered
through IBM for National Language install diskettes are
okay.  However, if you are building your own copy of
National Language install diskettes, you will need to first
install PTF SF26668.

The following PTFs are REQUIRED for creating install
diskettes:
  SF24926
  SF24945


Desktop Hang
____________

The OS/2 desktop may hang under the following conditions:

1. If you have Network Drive or Network Printer icons in
   the Client Access Startup Configuration Folder and your
   password has expired or is about to expire.  To correct
   the problem, apply PTFs SF27361 and SF28205.

2. If you have more than 1 Network Drive icon in the Client
   Access Startup Configuration Folder or in a Configuration
   Group defined to the same system. To correct the problem,
   apply PTF SF29406.


Grid:
 PTF => the ptf number for the product
 V3R1 Cum => V3R1 cum tape the ptf can be found in
 V3R6 Cum => V3R6 cum tape the ptf can be found in
 V3R2 Cum => V3R2 cum tape the ptf can be found in
    "tbd" stands for "to be determined" which means that
    the ptf is not in a cum tape for that release yet
 CS => stands for "Character Set"
    "*" means both SBCS and DBCS environments
    "S" means SBCS environments
    "D" means DBCS environments
