Special Instructions for Installing a UniMaint CSD

Before applying a UniMaint CSD, the ACSTEST.EXE program must be
run with the -Z option. To do this, open an OS2 window and change
directories to the Unimaint Directory. Enter the command:       

ACSTEST -Z 

This deregisters the class created by the ACSAGENT.DLL and *MUST*
be done *BEFORE* the CSD can be applied.

To apply the CSD, open an OS2 window and change directories to
the UniMaint directory and enter:  

GTINST X:\Y5098133.CSD 

where x is the path and directory that the CSD was unzipped to.

When installing the CSD, if you get an error "Base Level Invalid"
then you need to reinstall the base product before applying the
CSD.




        How to synchronize UniMaint and the Workplace Shell

There are times when certain kinds of problems with the WPS or
with UniMaint can result in a situation where the UniMaint WPS
Agent Object will not initialize correctly. This problem can
normally be fixed using the AcsTest utility program and, if it
cannot be fixed, the same program can document the problem.

If you get an error that indicates a problem with the WPS such as
message box referring you to this file or a logic error that is
in the 10xxx range, then you should do the following:

1. Run the AcsTest program with -Z on the parameter line. The -Z
parameter will cause the AcsTest program to force the destruction
of all of the WPS Agent Objects and shared data areas and it will
Deregister the WPS Class. It is very possible this run will get
an error, but it can be ignored.

 AcsTest.EXE -Z

2. Run AcsTest with no paramters. If this run succeeds, then
please try the UniMaint function again.

3. If the AcsTest in 2. above does not work or the UniMaint
function does not work, then run AcsTest in diagnostic mode with
the following command line;

 AcsTest.EXE -Lacstest.log -Dacstest.dia -Aacstest.agt

The run above will create the three acstest.log/dia/agt files in
the default directory. If you do not want them in the default
directory, then you can include path information between the
-L/-D/-A and the filename. However, blanks are not allowed.

It is possible that the acstest.agt file will not get created.

Please zip the above logs into a single file and email to

jread@gte.net
 
with a description of how you created the problem.
