Improvements to Documentation

Improvements to Documentation
IBM welcomes your suggestions for improvements to product documentation. As part of our
continuing effort to improve the user experience and satisfaction with our documentation, the
documentation for Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows version 4.6 has the following
change:
The documentation set has moved to a new XML-based solution that will allow dynamic update
rather than require a major release for documentation updates.

Special Considerations
This section details special considerations to be aware of for your platform.
✦ The database retry feature retries a connection for up to eight minutes before a failure is
allowed to continue. When you use client applications like Sterling Connect:Direct Requester,
the application may appear to quit working. If this occurs, check the event log for database
errors indicating a retry is in progress. If the retry is unsuccessful, you may need to recycle the
Sterling Connect:Direct server.
✦ Microsoft SQL Server Express is not supported on Itanium 64 bit hardware. You may install
Microsoft SQL Server as your database by attaching to a remote SQL installation from the
Itanium computer.
✦ Microsoft SQL Server Express and Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows must be
installed by the same user. To allow two different users to install the two components,
download Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express and modify the user configurations.
✦ Microsoft SQL Server Express fails to install when the computer name matches the user
account performing the installation. Install Microsoft SQL Server using a different user
account.
✦ If the SQL Server Express installation fails, look in the installation logs, located in the
Microsoft SQL Server installation directory\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log. A reboot may be
required to complete the installation. After you reboot the computer, start the installation
again. If this does not solve the issue, consult the Microsoft support site.
✦ By default, SQL Server Express allows only the installing user ID to access the message
lookup database. Add a user to the SQL Server Express database to allow access to
Connect:Direct for Windows by functional authorities and the message lookup utility. A login
failure occurs if no additional user is added.
✦ Following are the SQLServer2008Express installation defaults:
Š Installs to the Program Files directory on drive C.
Š Windows Authentication mode is enabled
Š The SA Account is disabled
Š The instance name is set to CDWindows

8 IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows Version 4.6.00 Release Notes
 Known Restrictions

✦ To change the default authentication mode with SQL Server Express, install the product using
Tools, available from the Microsoft Website. Use Microsoft SQL Management Studio
included with Tools, to make authentication mode changes.
✦ SQL Server Express does not support clustering.

Known Restrictions
Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows and its related software have the following known
restrictions.

Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows

Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows version 4.6 has the following restrictions:
✦ You can keep an earlier version of Sterling Connect:Direct on the computer on which you are
installing Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows version 4.6.
✦ Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows version 4.6 SNMP and NT Broadcast do not
send messages on 64-bit operating systems.
✦ Built-in variables should only be specified in a SUBMIT statement within a Process if the
statement will be executed on a Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows version 4.5
(or later) node or another Sterling Connect:Direct version that supports built-in variables.
✦ Temporary addresses, which are a security feature of the IPv6 protocol, are generated
automatically by the operating system and are used only for outbound connections. These
addresses have a short life span and are replaced by other temporary outbound addresses. This
feature of the IPv6 protocol causes problems with Netmap Checking. If the outgoing address
of the PNODE randomly changes and netmap checking is enabled by the SNODE, the
SNODE always refuses the connection because the IP address of the PNODE never matches
the IP address configured for it.
You can work around the problem created by temporary addresses in two ways:
Š On the PNODE, configure outgoing.address in the initialization parameters file using the
IPv6 address for the PNODE server. This ensures that the IP address that the PNODE uses
to create a connection to a remote node is always constant. Consider the following:
• If a PNODE has several IP addresses configured, for example, two IPv6 addresses and
two IPv4 addresses, configure the outgoing.address initialization parameter with one
IPv6 address. This address can then be used to connect to an SNODE configured with
either IPv6 or IPv4 addresses.
• If a PNODE wants to use an IPv4 address to connect to an SNODE that has both IPv6
and IPv4 IP addresses, ensure that the tcp.api.port and tcp.host.port initialization
parameters of the SNODE are configured with an IPv4 address and port.
Š Disable temporary addresses for the PNODE. This is a configuration option in the
Windows networking component. If the temporary addresses are not generated,
connections to a remote that use the IPv6 protocol use the configured IPv6 address.

IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows Version 4.6.00 Release Notes 9
Known Restrictions

Note: To disable temporary addresses in the Windows Vista OS, issue the following command
from a command prompt: netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled. For other
Windows operating systems, see the Microsoft Windows documentation.

See RFC 3041 for more information on IPv6 temporary addresses.

✦ If you modify user authorizations from the Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus server and the
Sterling Connect:Direct Requester is attached, you must detach and reattach to the Sterling
Connect:Direct Secure Plus server. When you reattach to the Sterling Connect:Direct Secure
Plus server, Sterling Connect:Direct Requester reads the updated user information.
✦ Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows previously supported the DESKTOP(YES)
parameter in the SYSOPTS statement of a Sterling Connect:Direct Process. This parameter
enabled user programs launched by the Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows
service to interact with the Windows desktop. Currently this parameter functions only on
versions of Windows prior to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. For security reasons,
Microsoft has removed support for Interactive Services from those two operating systems.
Microsoft blocks any attempt by a Windows service to interact with the desktop. Sterling
Connect:Direct administrators should begin to remove the DESKTOP(YES) parameter from
all Sterling Connect:Direct Process scripts. Alternatively, you can switch DESKTOP(YES)
references to DESKTOP(NO).
To ease the transition of upgrading to Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows,
Sterling Connect:Direct detects when a process using DESKTOP(YES) is submitted on a
Windows system that does not support Interactive Services. When DESKTOP(YES) is
detected, Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows dynamically switches to
DESKTOP(NO) and records the following warning in the statistics:

LPRS020I Invalid DESKTOP value specified.

DESKTOP=YES is not supported on this version of Windows. The RUN TASK / JOB
will continue with DESKTOP reset to NO.

After this warning is written to Sterling Connect:Direct statistics, the Process is allowed to
continue as if DESKTOP(NO) had been originally specified.
This transitional feature works only if the RUN TASK or RUN JOB is capable of running
without desktop interaction. That is, if manually switching DESKTOP(YES) to
DESKTOP(NO) would cause the Sterling Connect:Direct Process to fail, then the dynamic
switch to DESKTOP(NO) will not be an effective solution. If the program executed by the
RUN TASK/JOB is unable to execute without user interaction then that program must be
changed so that it no longer needs user interaction.
✦ Under conditions of high CPU usage, a Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows
Process running over UDT may be interrupted by a lost connection. Should this occur, Sterling
Connect:Direct retries the Process. If connection losses due to high CPU usage are occurring,
their frequency can be reduced by restricting the number of concurrent UDT sessions through
netmap session limits.
✦ For Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows version 4.6 to work using the UDT
protocol with Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS 4.8.00, you must install a fix for the Sterling
Connect:Direct for z/OS server. Without this fix (T014159), the first time a Process is initiated
in Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows using UDT, the Process fails with a
“Connection Broken” error. The RPLERRCK DD indicates the UDT error code of 2001.

Observe the following additional guidelines:

Related Software Guideline

Sterling The installation has changed from a single-user installation to all users. Any user
Connect:Direct who is logged on can start Sterling Connect:Direct Requester. Because the
Requester configuration is user specific, Sterling Connect:Direct Requester automatically
creates the base registry key if one does not exist.

Microsoft Installation (MSI) does not recognize Install Shield installations. Install
Shield and MSI cannot point to the same installation folder or you may have
problems uninstalling Sterling Connect:Direct. If you upgrade Sterling
Connect:Direct Requester, the installation copies the folders of the older version of
Sterling Connect:Direct Requester to the new installation directory before the new
version is installed. The new version overwrites existing files in the destination
folder.

Sterling When you upgrade Sterling Connect:Direct File Agent, it is installed as a service
Connect:Direct File on Windows using the Local System Account. If you change the user account for
Agent Sterling Connect:Direct File Agent after installation, each time you perform an
