Here a summary of what the PTF contains:

 The prefix for error message codes in the "Tivoli Data Protection
   for Microsoft SQL Server Installation and User's Guide, SH26-4111,
   has been changed to "ACO".  It was incorrectly shown as "ANS".

 A bug was fixed which caused a "query sql" or any backup command
   to fail if the SQL 7.0 sort order was case sensitive.  This problem
   affected both the command line and the gui and only pertained to
   SQL Server 7.0 instances.  SQL Server 2000 did not experience this
   problem.

 The command line parser was more permissive in the syntax it accepted
   than had been stated in the documentation.  The documentation has been
   updated to reflect the syntax accepted by the parser.

 The "Diff" command keyword has been changed to "Difffull" since it
   refers to the differential backup of a full (complete) database.

 The /Relocate option now works for transaction logs.

 Implicit transactions mode is now turned on explicitly within the
   session established to perform the backup or restore.  Previously
   it was possible for implicit transactions mode to be off.  This
   caused a nested transaction to begin in some cases, which in turn
   would cause the backup or restore to fail since the ODBC driver
   provided with SQL Server does not support nested transactions.
   This setting affects only the session established to do the backup
   or restore.  It will not interfere with other SQL Server sessions
   in progress at the same time.

 A bug was fixed which had caused the gui to crash in some cases
   if SQL Server authentication mode was specified in the
   configuration file.

 A bug was fixed which could cause data loss at the TSM Server if
   the copy destination was changed between two successive
   backups of the same SQL Server data.

 A gui bug was fixed which could cause a second partial restore of
   a list of files and/or file groups to fail when a previous partial
   restore of a different list of files and/or file groups from the
   same database had been done immediately beforehand.  The bug caused
   the first list of files and/or file groups to be restored a second
   time rather than the correct behavior, which would have been
   to restore the second list of files and/or file groups instead.


 The following APARs have been handled:

   IC29808, IC29849, IC29906, IC30018, IC30561, IC30657, IC31372,
   and IC32236.


It is recommended that the "IP22467.README.1ST" file included with
the PTF be read first before an installation is attempted.
