Tivoli Storage Manager for OS390/MVS Server

Version 5, Release 1, Level 8.1
 Currently, Tivoli Development is offering a fixtest
 level server 5.1.8.1  built on 5.1.8.0  base to correct
 problems documented in the accompanying readme file.

This replacement server is provided in the form of executable
module ANRSERV.

The fixtest file is an 80 byte FB binary file which is in XMIT
format and represents a link library. The term "XMIT format"
describes a technique utilizing the TSO xmit command.  From ISPF 3.4
the following command was issued against V5181.LINKLIB

xmit 99.99 da(/) outda(V5181.LINKLIB.XMITFMT)

The result is physical sequential data set which can be transferred
through a network in binary format to an MVS system.

Pre allocate a Physical Sequential data set with the following
attributes where you can "put" the fixtest file using FTP binary
transfer.

The following table describes the number of bytes reported by FTP when
moving the fixtest file, number of records to expect in the resulting
file and the number of blocks required for a physical sequential data
set on MVS assuming 3390, recfm=FB,lrecl= 80 with block size of 3120.

Note: Make sure the PTF files are moved using "binary" file transfer.
The "bin" file extension was added as an indicator to ensure binary
FTP transfer.

Once the file has been FTP'ed to MVS issue the following
TSO command to reverse the XMIT format file and create a link library.

receive indsn(V5181.LINKLIB.XMITFMT)

If you wish to preallocate the receiving dataset, use your existing 5.1.8.0
linklib dataset as a reference for data set attributes.

If you choose, you can APF authorize V5181.LINKLIB and start ADSM
using the newly created link library, or copy the executable ANRSERV
into an APF authorized link library.

We strongly advise that you do not replace your installed code
with this patch, but instead place it in a temporary linklib and access
that linklib until an installable PTF is available.

Note:  The V5181.MESSAGES(ANRMENU) message repository should be used with
       the V5181.LINKLIB(ANRSERV).  This is done by updating your
       DSMAMENG DD statements in your ANRSTART jcl.  Reference your
       5.1.7.0 installation for other DD data sets require to run Tivoli
       Storage Manager
