Refer to the DirectTalk/6000 Configuration and Administration guide for the information on saving a system image. To install this PTF, use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) as instructed in the following steps. Note that the SMIT panels that are described are those which are supported on AIX 3.2.5, and may differ slightly on your system. However, you should still be able to use SMIT to navigate to the correct menu. If you need additional information about using SMIT and installing software, please refer to your AIX Installation Guide. A certain amount of free disk space is required for the installation of this PTF. If there is not enough space available, then SMIT will advise you of this prior to attempting the install process. To install this PTF: 1. Shut down the DirectTalk/6000 system using the Quiesce Shutdown pulldown menu option from the Administration menu option. 2. Log on to AIX as 'root'. 3. Type 'smit' and press Enter. 4. Select 'Software Installation & Maintenance' and press Enter. 5. Select 'Install / Update Software' and press Enter. 6. Select 'Install / Update Selectable Software (Custom Install)' and press Enter. 7. Select 'Install Subsystems (Selective Fixes)' and press Enter. 8. Press F4 to list the available devices and select the device where the PTF media is loaded and press Enter. Alternatively, overtype the field with the device name. 9. A panel is then displayed where additional install options may be specified. It is recommended that you press F4 to review the list of PTFs packaged on the media. You may then select the PTFs from the list, or use the "all" option to install all of the PTFs. The remainder of the options can be left as the default values. However, some of the options may need to be altered if there is not enough free disk space available for the install. See your AIX Installation Guide for more details. Note that leaving the "COMMIT software?" option as "no" is desirable, since it is not possible to remove the PTF once it has been committed. You can commit the PTF at a later date if you wish, once you are satisfied with it. Finally, ensure that the media is loaded correctly, and press Enter to start the install. 10. When the installation process is complete, exit 'smit' and run 'vae.setuser' to refresh file ownership. Enter the following command: /usr/lpp/dirTalk/tools/vae.setuser At the prompt for a user ID, enter your DirectTalk/6000 user ID. This concludes the PTF installation. IMPORTANT NOTES: IMPORTANT: You MUST REBOOT your RISC System/6000 after applying this PTF to activate the fixes. Description: Contains fixes for the following: 1.This PTF is required by customers who are using DirectTalk/6000 v1.5.0 or v1.6.0 to save their DirectTalk/6000 data, ready for migration to DirectTalk for AIX v2.1.0 (APAR IX66740) Previous fixes contained in this PTF: 1.This ptf fixes a problem which caused one or more SPACKS not to be enabled correctly. It only occurred during startup of DT/6000 after the RS/6000 had just been warm booted and timing was critical. (APAR IX68240) 2.An untermittent problem in which ab alarm "5001 Unable to read from the message queue" is produced bt the SGAMSERVER process, causing it to exit abnormally. This would subsequently cause problems with the voice data storage/retrieval, which would require DirectTalk to be restarted to recover the situation. This problem has now been resolved. (APAR IX68070) 3.This ptf fixes a problem whereby if the trunk or channel was disabled whilst a prompt was playing, the State Table Application running was aborted. This has now been fixed such that the application will receive the "Line Problem" edge back from Play Prompt when a channel/trunk is disabled. (APAR IX62851) 4.Additional information has been included in DTmon output to show current buffer usage for all DirectTalk/6000 processes. (APAR IX63918) 5.A problem was found during the adapter cleanup such that the search for DirectTalk devices was too vague, and inadvertantly picking up vscsil, which is not part of DirectTalk. This problem has now been resolved. (APAR IX66739) 6.The RE protocol does not support Hangup during Transfer (Hookflash) for DirectTalk/6000 v1.5 This has now been solved. (APAR IX64929) 7.CA_Create_Voice_Msg_Id was modified to support feature 15621. Unfortunately, the creation time retreived from the original message and passed into this call was not used to update the Record Date and Time field in the Detailed Message Window Display. This problem has now been resolved. (APAR IX65183) 8.The SL protocol available on DirectTalk/6000 was only used in France until recently. French homologation requires that the RING/ANSWER time be greater than 5 seconds. This was fixed internally so that if a value of the ring answer time was set to less than 5 seconds, a default value of 5 seconds would be used. This has now been changed so that the minimum time of 5 seconds is only enforced if the country code is set to France. Other countries may set any values within the limits available using the configuration editor. (APAR IX64649) 9.This PTf fixes a customer problem where if a caller hungup at a specific time during any Record* state table action, an incorrect edge (Line Problem) was returned instead of hangup in addition to an error being logged. This problem has now been resolved. (APAR IX60568) 10.There was a problem with Voice Interrupt Detection being too sensitive in certain circumstances. This has now been resolved.
