For information about changes implemented in 2.11 SP1 and SP2,
see the SNA21SP2.HLP file included in 211SP2IS.EXE and
211SP2AS.EXE.  SNA21SP2.HLP also contains licensing information,
the 2.11 SP1 contents, and 2.11 SP2 contents.  The contents for SP1
and SP2 comprise articles describing the symptoms, causes, and
solutions to known problems.  The updated documentation, collateral
and SDK files are only available on the 2.11 SP2 CD and are not
available for electronic download.

NOTE 1: The electronic download versions of SNA Server SP2 do not
include updated driver files for Eicon WAN Services.  These must be
downloaded separately (211SP2EI.EXE or 211SP2EA.EXE, as appropriate).
Once the 211SP2IS.EXE or 211SP2AS.EXE file has been extracted, the
Eicon update should be copied to the <server>\system\hwsetup\eicon
directory and extracted using "211sp2ei.exe -d".  This will restore
the Eicon driver files to the same location as included on the
SNA Server 2.11 SP2 CD.

Instructions for Decompressing Files
------------------------------------

All of the above files are compressed in self-extracting
archive format, containing SNA Server 2.11 SP2.  To extract
each file, copy the file to a separate empty directory on your
hard drive and run the file using the "-d" option.  For
example:

    211SP2IS.EXE -d <PATH>

Where <PATH> is the destination directory for the service
pack. If you wish to extract the service pack to the current
directory, leave <PATH> blank.

After the service pack file has been decompressed, run the
UPDATE.EXE program to install the updated SNA Server 2.11
server or client files, as appropriate.

NOTE: The UPDATE program will automatically stop any SNA
Server services which may be running.

Installing the Service Pack Files
---------------------------------
Both the SNA Server and SNA client files have been updated
in 2.11 SP2. Updates may be applied in any order -- to the
server and/or to the clients. It is recommended that all
systems running SNA Server 2.11 (that is, SNA Servers and
client computers) are updated to SP2. It may not be
necessary to update the client computers to SP2 unless you
are experiencing a client problem that has been fixed in SP2.
