IBM GC34-5557-00 manual Installing on OS/2 Warp

Installing on OS/2 Warp

You can install the version of the MQSeries client software specific to your national language. This means that the installation program, online help and messages will be in your national language.

Installation

Online help is available by selecting the Help push button or by pressing PF1.

Before you start, make sure that you have at least 150 KB of free space on the drive containing the operating system. This is required by the installation program.

1.Open an OS/2 Warp window (or start a full-screen session).

2.Insert the CD-ROM and change to the CD-ROM drive. Access the drive and directory containing the installation program if you are installing from a remote drive.

3.At the command prompt, in the root directory, type INSTALL, then press Enter.

4.On the MQSeries Language Selection panel, select the language of your choice, and click on the OK button or press Enter.

The MQSeries Welcome panel is displayed. Make sure you are installing the correct client for your system, OS/2 Warp, as displayed in the Welcome panel.

5.The install panel is then displayed. Select the Update CONFIG.SYS check box if you want your CONFIG.SYS file updated automatically as part of the installation process. Your original CONFIG.SYS file is renamed to CONFIG.BAK and is stored in the same directory. If you do not select this check box, a CONFIG.ADD file is generated. This file is a copy of CONFIG.SYS with the necessary updates to the LIBPATH and PATH statement. You can rename the CONFIG.ADD file to CONFIG.SYS.

6.Select the OK push button to continue. The Install - directories panel is displayed.

7.The list box shows the installation options that you can select. When you select one or more of these options, the Bytes needed field shows the amount of disk space required for installation.

The component MQSeries Client for Java should be installed only if you have Java 1.1.1 (or later compatible) runtime code on your machine. This component must be installed on an HPFS formatted drive.

8.If there is not enough space on your hard disk to install all the components, select an option that uses less disk space. If there is too little space on your hard disk for any of the MQSeries for OS/2 installation options, a dialog box appears before the Install - directories panel. In this case, cancel the installation by selecting the OK push button. Find out which of your existing files you can archive or delete to make more space before proceeding further.
