You should keep the old InterForm400® library (APF3812OLD) on the system until you are sure that you have tested that everything operates to your satisfaction with the new version of InterForm400®.

Upgrade remote sites

You can upgrade InterForm400® on another AS/400 from your local machine as follows:

On the local machine restore the library APF3812NEW:.

Restoring from the CD-ROM drive:

RSTLIB SAVLIB(APF3812NEW) DEV(OPT01) OPTFILE(APFRISC)

Distribute the library to the remote AS/400's and execute the following command from the command line :

APF3812NEW/APF3812NEW

M WARNING M

The command APF3812NEW will delete all overlays in file-set SAMPLE and copy new

sample overlays into this file-set. If you have created overlays in file-set SAMPLE you

should copy them to another file-set prior to the following. Also changes made to AFC-

definitions in AFC-job/queue AFC_INPUT1 will be overwritten by the default definitions of the InterForm400® demo.

M WARNING M

Do not place any user objects like output queues or programs in the APF3812 library. They will not be copied to the new APF3812 library as a part of the upgrade.

Relations to Other Applications

The InterForm400® system is developed for co-existence with other applications. Note the following:

The InterForm400® system does not change the library-list, and it is not

 

necessary to have the library APF3812 in the library list.

You should not place any objects in the APF3812 library as this library is

 

exchanged when upgrading InterForm400®. (Only InterForm400®

 

resources are copied to the new APF3812 library).

The InterForm400® system does not change local data areas.

If the InterForm400® system is called from another system the system does

 

not SIGN OFF, instead it returns to the calling program

 

(APF3812/APFMENU is not the initial program of the user)

If InterForm400® is running as a group job, the InterForm400® main menu

 

will show that you can suspend the InterForm400® system by pressing the

 

ATTN-button.

The system may create files in library QTEMP.

An abnormal termination will never harm the InterForm400® system.
