uninstallation program starts with a dialog box, but not having access to
the desktop the whole process stops. Some InstallShield applications (for
example, Tivoli Desktop) require for the silent uninstall a response file,
otherwise the uninstallation fails.

APAR IY61152
- Abstract:
- Locked files not managed on NetWare targets.
- Error Description:
- Locked files are not managed on NetWare targets during software distributions.
To make this fix effective, the disconnect_timeout variable has
to be set in the package. When Software Distribution finds a locked file,
it sends a message to the connections locking the file to warn that the connection
will be closed, waits the timeout specified in disconnect_timeout,
and then checks if the file is still locked. In this case, Software Distribution
closes the connection.
APAR IY61199

variable values) after performing an export followed by an import
operation.
