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.
