Compaq DESKTOP CONNECTOR FOR ACMS AAPG9DKTE - Manual (Page 45)

6.2.2 Accessing the ACMS System
For access to a Compaq ACMS transaction processing system, the TP Desktop
Connector Gateway for ACMS must be installed on the OpenVMS system. The
gateway software is distributed on a separate CD included in the distribution
kit; instructions for installing it are in Part III.
6.2.3 Defining the Network Transport for the Client Services Interface
TP Desktop Connector software supports the TCP/IP network transport for
Windows clients. The product files include the client application’s TCP/IP
dynamic link library (DLL). This files is installed, by default, in:
C:\TPware\stdl_rt\bin\acmsdiWS.dll
To set up the TP Desktop Connector software for the TCP/IP transport, copy
the TCP/IP DLL from the installation folder to your working directory, and
rename it
acmsdi.dll . The acmsdiWS.dll provides TCP/IP support through
the Windows WINsock facility.
6.2.4 Verifying the TP Desktop Connector Installation
To verify that your TP Desktop Connector software is installed correctly, you
can run one of the sample applications provided.
If you are developing an application that uses the Adapter Interface (refer
to Compaq TP Desktop Connector Getting Started), both the sample
applications and the instructions for running them are online. To read the
instructions, choose the
ACMS Samples item from the TP Desktop Connector for
ACMS menu in the TPware Products program group.
If you are developing a TP Desktop Connector client application that uses
the Client Services Interface on a Windows system, the client services files
are installed on your desktop by the
setup program with the rest of the
development tools. The instructions for setting up the client services and
running the sample programs are in Sections 6.2.5 and 6.2.6.
