RELEASE NOTES
(LWK01.24)

Make sure you have read and understand the notes at the beginning of this document. You may want to review the installation instructions since the upgrade is installed in the same manner. If you are upgrading from a very old release, prior to LWK01.16b, you must also upgrade to a new release of MPS.
As of release LWK01.17.2, it is no longer required that the product be removed prior to installing a new release. The install scripts detect the current installation and adapt to an upgrade.
For SVR4-based OSs, the system file /var/sadm/install/admin/default may contain "instance=unique," which should be changed to "instance=overwrite" to allow the upgrade to be applied. Also, if /var/tmp is a file system, pkgadd may fail because it needs more blocks than are available. It may be possible to unmount /var/tmp if there are enough blocks in the root or /var filesystems.
For AIX you will need to override the default smit settings "AUTOMATICALLY install requisite software?" and "OVERWRITE same or newer versions?" to allow the upgrade.

This item does not apply for the UnixWare platform (see the web site Technical Note on Platform Specific Configuration for RJE). Release LWK01.18.6 changed the implementation and user requirements for EXPRESS SNA/RJE data transmission. Lifetime Data Entry now creates a file in the $W/rje/pipes directory, with a unique name beginning with the form "JOBPRO_XXXXX", where JOBPRO is the name of the special Lifetime Data Entry Job Profile. In addition, that Job Profile must be redefined with Source Type=file, Source Name set to "%1" without the quotes, and Auto Delete selected. Note that EXPRESS may not do the Auto Delete without the installation of a patch.
If using RJE, the EXPRESS Job Entry Station (JES) definition must NOT specify AutoActivate. Rather, you can specify, in LWconfig, that the host is to "start automatically". EXPRESS must be running before Lifetime Data Entry RJE is initialized, and Lifetime Data Entry RJE must cause the JES to be started, otherwise data could be lost or the connection between the products will get out of synchronization.
