Scripting Products Included

• Novell Script for NetWare (NSN)

Upgrading from NetWare 5.1 to NetWare 6

• The NSN and NetBasic configuration files (SYS:SYSTEM\NSNSYS.INI, SYS:UCS\UCX.INI, and SYS:SYSTEM\NBSYS.INI) are overwritten during the upgrade. If you previously made changes to the files, you might want to keep a copy of them.
• ScriptEase (SE) is not installed as part of NetWare 6. If the system is upgraded from NetWare 5.1 to NetWare 6, SE will be available because it was part of the NetWare 5.1 system. Note that Novell will not provide customer support for SE in a NetWare 6 environment.

NSN Compiler

The NSN Compiler SDK is not included with NetWare 6. The NSN product on the NDK Web site has the latest version of the compiler.

Novell Script Pages

Novell^® Script Pages (NSP) prevents any NSP page from being uploaded and executed without the execute bit set on the NSP file itself or on the parent directory.

To mark an NSP file or directory with the execute bit, do the following:

1. Access NDS^® from the NetWare Web Manager General Administration page.

2. Navigate to the NSP file or directory and display the access control rights for that object.

3. Check the Execute check box and save your changes.

After the NSP page file or directory has been marked with the execute bit, NSP will allow it to run.
