3.1 Installation Overview

You should have received two CD’s with your purchase of PC*MILER- AS/400:

•The PC*MILER Product Line CD which includes the complete PC*MILER application and the PC*MILER-AS/400 Mileage Server (PC*MILERConnect-AS/400).

•The second CD contains the 400 side ALKMVS Library.

⇒NOTE: Required PC to AS/400 Connectivity Software is not provided by ALK. You need either IBM’s Client Access Express or the NS Router, from either IBM’s Client Access Bundle or Netmanage.

3.2 AS/400 Side Installation

First install the resident AS/400 software on your AS/400. Sign on to QSECOFR or an account with equivalent authorities. Place the CD in the optical drive and follow the instructions below.

⇒NOTE For Upgrades:

ALK increased the length of the Highway Segment (HS – Turn By Turn Driving Instructions) by 25 characters. Failure to upgrade your current ALKMVS Library will cause the program to crash if HS requests are used.

1.Create a library with the CRTLIB command. Type CRTLIB ALKMVS.

2.Add the library to the current library list. Type ADDLIBLE ALKMVS.

For Innovative Computing Corporation installations, you will also need your ICC WORK and FILE libraries in your current library list. For Version R6, type ADDLIBLE I93FILE or ITSR6FILE and then ADDLIBLE I93WORK or ITSR6WORK. The ICC Version 7 libraries are IESR7WORK and IESR7FILE. (Call ICC if you don’t know which version you are running.)

⇒NOTE For Updates Only: Type config from the AS/400 command line and print screen your current mileage settings. These settings will be overwritten during the library restore. After the restore of the library, re- enter these settings by running the ALKMVS/CONFIG command. Make sure there are no users working in PC*MILER or PC*MILERStreets.
