Connection APIs on OES2 SP2 Posted on 13 March 2009 under NetWare (Updated 03 May 2010)

In 2008, we reported to Novell that two connection related APIs were not implemented in OES2, and a 3rd was not returning some information correctly. Despite assurances that all three would be fixed in SP1, two issues remained:

The API for clearing workstation connections is was implemented in SP1 and is working correctly.

The API for returning the connections holding a file open was not implemented until SP2.

The API which returns the number of NCP requests, bytes read and bytes written since login still returns garbage values in OES2 SP2a. Affected programs are "users" and "requests".
