4.9.3 Installing the asxman package
Installation of the asxman package is optional, but recommended. The package co ntains
UNIX manual pages for the API of Advanced Server for UNIX as well as for all Advan ced
Server for UNIX commands. The manual “API Reference” contains the data structures and
an overview of the API functions as a supplement to this. Please refer to the manual pages
of this package for more detailed information.
Install the asxman package with the following steps:
ÊLog on as system administrator root.
ÊCarry out the installation procedure as described in the section “Installing f rom CD-
ROM with cdinst”.
ÊSelect the asxman package under AS/X.
The system now copies the data from the volume to /usr/share/man/mrd/catman/asx.
4.9.4 Installing the asxdocs package
Installation of the asxdocs package is optional. In addition to the manuals for Advanced
Server for UNIX in PDF format, the package also contains an "Acrobat Reade r" (English
language) for installation on a workstation.
Install the asxdocs package with the following steps:
ÊLog on as system administrator root.
ÊCarry out the installation procedure as described in the section “Installing f rom CD-
ROM with cdinst”.
ÊSelect the asxdocs package under AS/X.
ÊDuring installation, specify the name of the directory where you want to i nstall the
documentation files.
The system copies the files from the volume to the specified directory. If Advanced Server
for UNIX is already installed, a resource with the sharename as docs is shared automatically.
The Acrobat Reader program (either ar16e30.exe for Windows 3.x or ar32e30.exe for
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT) which is stored in the acrobat directory, must be invoked
for installation on a workstation. The Acrobat Reader is then installed on t he workstation
and can be used to read the PDF files.
The asxdocs package can be installed prior to installation of AS/X so that the documentation
can be accessed before Advanced Server for UNIX is installed. Both th e Acrobat Reader
and the PDF files must then be transferred to a workstation by some other means (e .g. via
FTP) .
