Software Increment Release Notes
================================

Increment ID:  I33A1730
Date created:  December 5th, 2001


Title:
------
Provisioning & Connection Manager fixes II

Effect on Traffic / Warnings:
-----------------------------
None.


Detailed Description of Increment:  
----------------------------------
1.  This increment corrects the problem where the Provisioning Manager
and Connection Manager would fail to open on spans of control with
more than 5 NEs.  The Provisioning Manager and Connection Manager 
have been modified to increase the time allowed when waiting for 
responses from Network Elements before convicting the NEs as unavailable.  
The timer change improves the usability of the tools on systems with 
more than 5 NEs or systems with more than 3 UE9000 shelves.

2.  The Provisioning Manager and Connection Manager have been modified to 
function properly with an NE on the rare occassion when some of the 
TIC ports on the NE become unavailable due to corruption in the NE
database.  These TIC ports are displayed as dashes on the NEUI TIC 
MAPCI level.  The OPC tools can now operate normally with the affected 
TIC ports showing as unavailable in the OPC Provisioning Manager and 
Connection Manager.
