OS/2
Summary:
SYMPTOMS
When using SAF on a DOS workstation on IBM's Lan Server version 1.3
and OS/2 EE version 1.3, either of the following errors may occur:
Error calling NETSERVERENUM
-or-
Error 10010, Severity 9, OSerr -1
CAUSE
These errors occur when the workstation is unable to see any
mailslots. These errors occur not only with SAF's list of SQL
Servers, but also when the workstation attempts a NET SEND.
RESOLUTION
To correct these problems, modify the DOS workstation IBMLAN.INI
file to include the following four lines:
/nms:5
/nvs:4
/ndb:4
/api
These parameters are not automatically included in the workstation
installation; you must add them manually.
You must also check two other dependent parameters and, if
necessary, edit them to successfully correct these problems:
/nbs:1K (must be 1K or greater if /api is used.)
/bbs:2K (must be greater than /nbs:??.)
These changes allow a DOS workstation to handle mailslots
correctly and see SQL Server's NetServerEnum broadcast.
