Nlynx ETU400 manual Installing ETU, Installing the ETU Software

Installing ETU

To install ETU on the AS/400, you will follow these basic steps:

•load the ETU software;

•register your copy of ETU with NLynx Technologies

•complete the registration procedure on the AS/400.

NOTE: Before installing ETU, you must sign on to the AS/400 as the security officer (QSECOFR).

NOTE: If you install ETU to an existing library that contains the files QS36SRC or QS36PRC, the installation procedure will overwrite these files and any existing data will be lost.

Installing the ETU Software

The ETU installation procedure copies the software from the distribution media (tape or diskette) to the AS/400. To begin the installation procedure, you must specify the library name (target library) in which ETU is to be installed. If the target library already exists (and contains a prior version of ETU), then the installation procedure updates the library with the new version of ETU. If the target library does not exist, the installation procedure creates the library. If you specify an existing library during the install procedure, any existing user files (saved request definitions, user-defined menu options) are saved to the target library. The installation procedure attempts to apply any command authorities from the existing library into the target library. In addition, you have the option of retaining your old versions of the ETU translation tables (TRANSLATE and MACTAB). The default is to load the new tables because most users do not modify the translation tables.

NOTE: Versions of ETU prior to 5.01 created and required the existence of the libraries PCTRAN and PCTRANHOLD. ETU Version 5.01 and all subsequent versions no longer have this requirement. If you do not plan to keep an old version of ETU on your system, you can delete library PCTRAN after installation of version 5.01 if you do not install ETU 5.01 into library PCTRAN. You can also delete library PCTRANHOLD without affecting version 5.01.

Before you start the installation procedure, do the following:

•Be sure you have at least 10MB of disk storage available on your AS/400;

•Be sure no users are accessing ETU (for existing users of ETU);

•Back up the target library if it exists prior to this installation. If a problem arises, you can restore the library to its original condition.

•For existing ETU users: Before you install ETU make certain that no users who are signed on to the system, including the person performing the installation, have the ETU library in their library list.
