470.0. "Wrong NT template in V2.1 SSB" by COOKIE::MHUA () Fri May 30 1997 15:44

    
    The ABS engineering has discovered that a wrong version of NT archive
    /restore message template file is shipped inadvertently with the
    V2.1 SSB kit. As a result, NT save and restore using V2.1 SSB version
    signals "checksum errors" :.

    THREAD #1:     File: ABS$TEMPLATES:NT_GTAR-1.PARSE_TEMPLATE
    THREAD #1:

    If the customer is using ABS NT save and restore, please copy the
    following file from node COOKIE:: and replace the one in ABS$TEMPLATE 
    directory.

    CRUMBS>dir/prot

    Directory AIM$PUBLIC:[ARCHIVE_BACKUP.KITS.V21_SSB_FIX]

    NT_GTAR-1.PARSE_TEMPLATE;1
                         (R,RWED,RE,RE)

    Total of 1 file.

    There is no need to restart ABS after the replacement of the
    file. After the file is replaced, there should be no "checksum
    error" signaled in the NT save/retore log files.

    There are some additonal error messages parsed in the above version of
    the template file.  The behavior of NT save and restore
    should not be affected by the replacement of this template.

    

    
    Hi,
    
    I put 470.0 hidden.
    
    It was a part of engineering's confision (or MY ocnfusion) to believe
    that wrong version of nt_gtar-1.parse_template was shipped with the
    V2.1 SSB kit.  The version shipped for V2.1 SSB and the checksum built
    into the ABS image matches.  There is no need to replace the template
    at the customer's site.
    
    If you have already copied the template from the specified area in .0,
    please do not distribute further.
