AUTOZAP RUN 7013/NEW BACNAT FOR GSM 7.0 (UNIX)
**************************************************************
 
 
Autozap Run 7013
----------------
 
This  is a monthly run of autozaps which contains all zaps since
run 7012.
 
The diskette contains a number of recovery programs which may be
required by the following zaps:
 
1.  Purchase Ledger 7.0 zap 8 and 9    - PLEEC
2.  Payroll 6.0A zap 52 	       - PRACC
3.  Sales Analysis 6.1 zap 18	       - SDRBLD.
 
Refer to the zap descriptions for further information on running
the above programs.
 
To re-iterate Reseller Bulletin 532;  a  problem  may  occur  in
Payroll end of year.  The problem is that the NI information may
be excluded from the P60s.  If this occurs then run the  program
PREYF (included on the autozap diskette) and reprint the P60s.
 
Sales Analysis zap 17 was excluded from previous runs - 7010 and
7011 - due to problems found in  the  repackages.   One  of  the
repackages,  SN550-  part  A  of  zap  17  is  included  on this
diskette.  The other  components  will	not  be  released.   The
corrections will be made for version 6.2.
 
New BACNAT GSM 7.0 (Unix)
-------------------------
 
A new release of the BACNAT for Global System Manager 7.0 (Unix)
on the RS/6000 running AIX  (CV5524)  is  now  available.   This
BACNAT	contains  a fix for a severe problem which causes random
			      ++++++
file corruption and random file deletion on large  systems  when
more than 250 file channels are in-use.
 
The  problem was present on all Global System Manager 7.0 (Unix)
implementations, but has been fixed as new  BACNAT's  have  been
released.
 
By  inspecting	the  version  of  the BACNAT you will be able to
determine whether a particular system  includes  the  bug.   All
BACNAT's  between  version  3.1  and  3.32 contain the bug.  All
BACNAT's with a version number	higher	than  3.32  include  the
fixed component. The  file  $GLDIR/sys/version is a Unix text file which
contains the "BACNAT version" as well as the individual versions  of all
the  C sources that were used during that particular repackage. To
determine the version of an installed GSM (Unix)  system  use the
following Unix command:-
 
    head -20 $GLDIR/sys/version
 
For  versions  of  BACNAT prior to V3.45 this will result in the
following:-
 
    /****************************************************

For versions of BACNAT V3.45, and later, this will result in the
following:-
 
    /****************************************************

    /*

    /*
    /****************************************************
    /*
    --> s.vc2gm.ver	     Version 3.nn
				     ++++
 
Versions  of  GSM  (Unix)  V3.45, and later, display the version
number of the BACNAT when System Manager is loaded as follows:-
 
    "Configuring Systems Manager (BACNAT V3.nn); please wait..."
 
 
If you are not using Version 3.45 or later we  strongly  suggest
that a new BACNAT is ordered free of charge. 
