Dear SCO Customer,

Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7143a, the SCO ARCserve/Open 2.2.0
Maintenance Supplement for SCO ARCserve/Open running on SCO UnixWare 2.1.x
and UnixWare 7.0.x, includes all the fixes for known Year 2000 issues and 
adds support for new tape devices.  The list of these fixes, as well as a 
list of tape devices, are listed in the Problems Fixed section.


Problems Fixed
--------------

The following Year 2000 problems are addressed in this SLS:

1. Reports generated using the Report Manager GUI report all Y2K dates
   incorrectly.

   When a report is generated, dates that are year 2000 or greater are 
   incorrectly displayed as: 100 (year 2000), 101 (year 2001), 102 (year 
   2002), and so on. Depending on the version of the operating system on 
   which SCO ARCserve/Open is being run, the year 2000 may also be 
   displayed as a two-digit number of 69 or greater.

   The correct format for the dates should be 00 (year 2000), 01 (Year 
   2001), 02 (Year 2002), and so on.

2. Output from as_qmgr (command line) reports Y2K dates incorrectly.

   When you run as_qmgr to list the jobs in the queue, or to change
   the date in which a job will run, year 2000 or greater dates are
   displayed incorrectly.  They are displayed as described above in 
   problem 1.

3. Autopilot labels a tape incorrectly when the year is 2000 or greater.

   When autopilot labels a tape, it includes the current date as part
   of the label name.  When the year is 2000 or greater, the date used
   on the label is incorrect.  It uses dates as described above in 
   problem 1.

4. Using the format tapes option in the Device Manager GUI to format
   a tape in a tape library displays incorrect expiration dates if
   the year is in the year 2000 or greater.

   If you are using a changer or tape library, and choose to format a 
   tape, the default expiration date is not displayed correctly in the
   year 2000 or greater. This date is displayed as described above in 
   problem 1.


SLS ptf7143a adds support for the following tape devices:

Note: Not all these devices have been certified yet. See the online 
SCO Compatible Hardware web page at:

        http://www.sco.com/chwp  

The term "supported" here means that the software will recognize the 
device, but it does not imply that the device is officially certified.
Only devices that are officially certified are guaranteed to work as 
expected.
