SNA Server and SNA Gateway at different levels

Env: AIX 3.2.x, SNA Server all levels 
.Desc:  The following message may be seen in two places when SNA Server
       is started.  Message will be logged to /var/sna/sna.stderr
       and to the active snaservice log.
       .
       " Warning: the level of SNA Gateway/6000 installed is 
         different than that of SNA Server/6000.  This may cause SNA 
         to fail or not function correctly.  You should ensure that 
         both products are at the same level. "
.There are three cases that will result in this message being issued:
.Case 1)  gw.sna.obj is NOT installed but is in the ODM as NONE 
         .
         \# lslpp -l gw.sna.obj
         shows state as "AVAILABLE"
         .
         In this case the warning message can be ignored.
         .
         You can update ODM so that the message will not be issued
         using the following procedure as root:
         .
         \# echo $ODMDIR >/tmp/save.odmdir
         \# export ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos
         \# odmdelete -o lpp -q name=gw.sna.obj
         \# odmdelete -o product -q lpp_name=gw.sna.obj
         \# export ODMDIR=`cat /tmp/save.odmdir`
         \# lslpp -l gw.sna.obj
         lslpp: 0504-120  There is no product in /usr/lib/objrepos, 
         /etc/objrepos, or /usr/share/lib/objrepos that matches 
         "gw.sna.obj".
         .
         The 0504-120 indicates you have removed the gw.sna.obj
         entries from ODM and then next time you start sna you will 
         not see the warning message.
         .
         Note: this case will not occur on SNA Server V3 product 
         levels because the product packaging has changed.
.Case 2)  gw.sna.obj IS installed but is not required
         .
         \# lslpp -l gw.sna.obj
         will show the object in either APPLIED or COMMITTED state
         .
         If in APPLIED State, Use SMIT to remove the LPP.
         \# smitty install_remove
         Then use the commands in case 1 to remove the object from ODM.
         .
         If in COMMITTED state or if the SMIT remove failed, AIX 
         support can supply a script such as rm32lpp that will 
         remove the LPP from the ODM.
         .
         Note: if you later determine you do need the Gateway 
         features you will have to reinstall from a SIPO tape.
.Case 3)  If gw.sna.obj IS installed and IS being used, apply PTF's
         so that all sna objects are at the same maintenance level.
         .
         This is the most important case.  If these objects are not
         at the same maintenance level SNA functionality may be 
         affected, possibly to the point that failures occur.
