Subject: Taskman Parameters in Scheduled tasks.

Category: 
  - Routine

Description: 
============

  
 IVM-0400-31566
 An option queued in the option scheduling file that didn't have a 
 rescheduling frequency would not have the ZTQPARAM variable or other 
 parameters available. This was because the entry was deleted from the 
 option schedule file before the variables were set-up.  The fix was to set-
 up the variables first.
  
 It has been found in testing at Bay Pines that if the call to the DNS times 
 out the XLFNSLK routine fails to close the device used to call the DNS. 
 This causes the calling routine to get an error.  Fix to see that on a time-
 out the device is closed.

 ========================================================================= 
 Installation:
  
 >>>Do not allow users to log in to the system during installation.
  
   1.  DSM sites - Some of these routines are usually mapped,
       so you will need to disable mapping for the affected routines. 
      
   2.  Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This
       option will load the KIDS package onto your system.
      
   3.  The patch has now been loaded into a Transport global on your
       system. You now need to use KIDS to install the Transport global.
       On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following
       options:
       
          Verify Checksums in Transport Global
          Print Transport Global
          Compare Transport Global to Current System
          Backup a Transport Global
      
   4.  Inhibit users from login into the system. (If you install when few
       users are on the system and the possibility of some CLOBER/NOSOURCE
       errors is acceptable, then users can stay on the system.)
       Also place TASKMAN in a wait state.
       Option: Place Taskman in a WAIT State
      
   5.  Use "D ^XPDKRN" then:
         Install Package(s)  'XU*8.0*151'
                              ==========
                              
         No Options or Protocols need to be placed out-of-order.
         Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options, and Protocols? NO
                                                                         ==
      
   6.  DSM Sites, after patch has installed, rebuild your map set.
  
   7.  Allow users to sign-on.
       Remove TASKMAN from the wait state.
       Option: Remove Taskman from WAIT State
