Installation Tasks

Log on as MANAGER.SYS. Ask all users to log off.

Check whether you have enough disk space to install LU 6.2 API/XL. To do this, issue the following command to build a dummy file:

     :BUILD INSTFILE;DISC=300000,32,32

If the command fails, you do not have enough disk space, and you need to purge some files or store them on tape.

If the command is successful, issue the following command to purge the dummy file:

     :PURGE INSTFILE

Write down the passwords for the SYS account, the PUB.SYS group, and the MANAGER.SYS user. Then, issue the following commands to remove the passwords:

     :ALTACCT SYS;PASS=
     :ALTGROUP PUB.SYS;PASS=
     :ALTUSER MANAGER.SYS;PASS=

Write down the names of any UDC files for MANAGER.SYS,PUB. Then, issue the following commands to disable the UDCs:

     :SETCATALOG;SYSTEM
     :SETCATALOG;ACCOUNT
     :SETCATALOG

Follow the instructions in the HP 3000 MPE XL Installation and Update Manual or the HP 3000 MPE XL Add-On Manual to install LU 6.2 API/XL with the MPE AUTOINST utility.

After the installation job completes, shut down the system and install the update type. Then, restart the system, and log on again as MANAGER.SYS.

Issue the following commands to restore the passwords to the SYS account, the PUB.SYS group, and the MANAGER.SYS user:

     :ALTACCT SYS;PASS=password
     :ALTGROUP PUB.SYS;PASS=password
     :ALTUSER MANAGER.SYS;PASS=password

Issue the following commands to reset all UDCs:

     :SETCATALOG udcfile[,udcfile ...];SYSTEM
     :SETCATALOG udcfile[,udcfile ...];ACCOUNT
     :SETCATALOG udcfile[,udcfile ...]

Issue the following command to install the UDCs that invoke APPCCONTROL commands:

SETCATALOG APPCUDC.APPC.SYS;SYSTEM;APPEND

Make sure all users who will issue APPCCONTROL commands have at least the following capabilities:

To change the capabilities of a user, issue the following command:

:ALTUSER {user};CAP=AM,NM,SF,NA,GL,ND,BA,IA

After you have installed LU 6.2 API/XL, run NMMAINT.PUB.SYS to ensure that the AUTOINST utility successfully installed the right versions of all the necessary software modules. The overall version of LU 6.2 API and the APPC subsystem must be greater than or equal to B.00.00. The overall version of the Node Management Services (NMS) utilities must be B.03.00 or greater.
