This letter discusses important information that might not be included in this guide. You should read this letter now. You should also read the DEC BASIC Release Notes before continuing with the installation. For information about accessing the Release Notes, see Chapter 2. 1.1 Registering Your Software License Before you install and run DEC BASIC Version 1.2 on a newly licensed node or VMScluster environment, you must first register a License Product Authorization Key (License PAK) using the License Management Facility (LMF). The License PAK may be shipped along with the kit if you ordered the license and media together; otherwise, it is shipped separately to a location based on your license order. If you are installing DEC BASIC as an update on a node or cluster already licensed for this software, you have already completed the License PAK registration requirements. If you are installing prerequisite or optional software along with DEC BASIC, review the PAK status and install the PAKs for any prerequisite or optional software before you install DEC BASIC. You must register and load your license for DEC BASIC before you start the installation in order to run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) and use the software. Preparing for DEC BASIC Installation 1-1 To register a license under the OpenVMS operating system, first log in to a privileged account. You then have a choice of two ways to perform the registration: o Invoke the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. When it prompts you for information, respond with data from your License PAK. o At the DCL prompt, enter the LICENSE REGISTER command with the appropriate qualifiers that correspond to License PAK information. If you plan to use DEC BASIC on more than one node in a VMScluster environment, you will need to perform a license load on the other nodes after you complete this installation. See Section 3.2 for more information. For complete information about using the LMF, see the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual. 1.2 Required Hardware For a complete list of required hardware and supported processors, see the DEC BASIC Version 1.2 Software Product Description (SPD). 1.3 Required Operating System Components and Software DEC BASIC Version 1.2 for OpenVMS AXP systems requires OpenVMS AXP Version 6.1 or higher. The following optional software can be used with DEC BASIC: o CDD/Repository o DEC Language-Sensitive Editor o DEC Source Code Analyzer 1.4 Installation Procedure Requirements This section describes the requirements for installing DEC BASIC (process account quotas, system parameters, disk space, and so on). 1-2 Preparing for DEC BASIC Installation 1.4.1 VMSINSTAL Checks VMSINSTAL checks the following parameters and conditions: o If the user is logged in to a privileged account o If any other processes are running on the system o If minimum account quotas are met 1.4.2 Account Privileges To install DEC BASIC, you must be logged in to an account that has SETPRV or at least the following privileges: o CMKRNL o WORLD o SYSPRV Note that VMSINSTAL turns off BYPASS privilege at the start of the installation. Privileges required for product use are defined in Section 3.3.1. 1.4.3 Disk Space DEC BASIC requirements for free disk storage space are different during installation and after installation. The total blocks needed include Help, Starlet, and Motif files. Table 1-1 summarizes the storage requirements. Table_1-1_Disk_Space_Requirements_________________________ Blocks During Blocks After Kit______________Installation__________Installation_______ DEC BASIC 20000 16700 Version_1.2_______________________________________________ To determine the number of free disk blocks on the target disk, enter the following command at the DCL prompt: $ SHOW DEVICE device_name Preparing for DEC BASIC Installation 1-3 1.4.4 Backing Up Your System Disk At the beginning of the installation, VMSINSTAL asks if you have backed up your system disk. Digital recommends that you do a system disk backup before installing any software. Use the backup procedures that are established at your site. For details about performing a system disk backup, see the section on the Backup utility in the reference OpenVMS System Manager's Manual 1-4 Preparing for DEC BASIC Installation 2 ________________________________________________________________ Installing DEC BASIC After you register and load the license PAK, the installation takes approximately 15 minutes, depending on your system configuration and the kit components chosen. If you encounter any failures during installation, see Appendix C. 2.1 Installation Procedure Mount the media. To abort the installation procedure at any time, press Ctrl/Y. When you press Ctrl/Y, the installation procedure deletes all the files it has created up to that point and exits. You can then start the installation again. When the system prompts you with a question during the installation procedure, the default answer is often listed in brackets ([]). To install DEC BASIC, perform the following steps: 1. Log in to a privileged account and set your default device and directory to SYS$UPDATE. Username: SYSTEM Password: $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE 2. Invoke VMSINSTAL. $ @VMSINSTAL saveset-name device-name option-list VMSINSTAL is in the SYS$UPDATE directory. The elements that you specify when you invoke the VMSINSTAL command procedure are as follows: Installing DEC BASIC 2-1 saveset-name The installation name for the component. For DEC BASIC, enter the following installation name (n is the minor point release number): BASIC01n device-name The name of the device on which you have mounted the media and the directory containing the DEC BASIC save set. For example, DKA300: is the device name used in examples in this guide. The directory is [BASIC01n.KIT]. To specify the device name on the @VMSINSTAL command line, enter: DKA300:[BASIC01n.KIT] option-list The word OPTIONS followed by one or more of the following option designators-A, G, L, N, R: o Auto_answer option (A) Initially creates a file that contains your answers to VMSINSTAL questions and prompts. You can then use the option (and the answer file) to save time during a reinstallation (typically after upgrading your system). o Get save-set option (G) Lets you store product save sets temporarily on a magnetic tape or in a disk directory. o File log option (L) Logs all activity to the terminal during installa- tion. o Display or print the release notes (N) Indicates that you want to see the installation question on release notes. If you do not include the N option, VMSINSTAL does not ask you about the release notes. You should review the release notes before proceeding with the installation in 2-2 Installing DEC BASIC case they contain additional information about the installation. If you are restarting the installation and have already reviewed the release notes, you do not need to specify the N option. (Even if you omit the N option when you invoke VMSINSTAL, the DEC BASIC release notes are copied automatically to the SYS$HELP directory.) o Alternate root option (R) Lets you install the product to a system root other than that of the running system. For detailed information on these software installation options, see the OpenVMS operating system documenta- tion. If you specify more than one option, separate each option with a comma, such as: OPTIONS A,N The following example invokes VMSINSTAL to install DEC BASIC and shows the system response. This example uses the OPTIONS N release note option. $ @VMSINSTAL BASIC01n DKA300:[BASIC01n.KIT] OPTIONS N OpenVMS AXP Software Product Installation Procedure V6.1 It is dd-mmm-yyyy at hh:mm. Enter a question mark (?) at any time for help. If you do not supply either the product name, device name, or option, VMSINSTAL prompts you for this information later in the installation procedure. When you invoke VMSINSTAL, it checks whether you are logged in to a privileged account. Digital recommends that you install software from the system manager's account with your default device and directory set to SYS$UPDATE. VMSINSTAL then checks to determine whether any users are logged in to the system. If users are logged in, VMSINSTAL asks whether you want to continue the installation: Installing DEC BASIC 2-3 * Do you want to continue anyway [NO]? If you want to continue, enter Y. If you want to stop the installation, press Return. 3. Confirm system backup. * Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? If you are satisfied with the backup of your system disk, press Return. Otherwise, enter N to discontinue the installation. After you back up your system disk, you can restart the installation. If you omitted the device name on the VMSINSTAL command line, the following prompt appears: * Where will the distribution volumes be mounted: If this prompt appears, enter the name of the distribution (media) device and directory that contains the DEC BASIC kit (save set). For example, if the media is contained on a CD-ROM located on unit DKA300:, enter DKA300:[BASIC01n.KIT] in reply to this question (where n is the minor version number). If you omitted the product name on the VMSINSTAL command line, the following prompt appears: Products: Enter the kit name, BASIC01n. If you did not choose an installation option at the options prompt on the VMSINSTAL command line, the following prompt appears and you can enter one of the installation options: Enter installation options you wish to use (none): N Depending on the type of device and whether the device is already mounted, the following prompt may appear: Please mount the first volume of the set on DKA300:. * Are you ready? YES %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, DKA300: mounted If you have not already done so, you should now insert the distribution volume on the device you specified when you invoked VMSINSTAL. The device name appears in 2-4 Installing DEC BASIC the line preceding the question. VMSINSTAL then asks if you are ready to continue with the installation. If you respond Y to indicate that you are ready, VMSINSTAL displays a message that the media containing DEC BASIC has been mounted on the specified device and that the installation has begun. If you entered the wrong device name when you invoked VMSINSTAL and need to restart the installation, enter N in response to the "Are you ready?" question. To stop the installation for other reasons, press Ctrl/Y. 4. Verify the product being installed. The following products will be processed: BASIC V1.n Beginning installation of BASIC V1.n at hh:mm %VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product saveset A... The product name and version are displayed. The first save set (A) is restored to a subdirectory of SYS$UPDATE. 5. Select a release notes option. Release Notes Options: 1. Display release notes 2. Print release notes 3. Both 1 and 2 4. Copy release notes to SYS$HELP * Select option [2]: If you specified OPTIONS N when you invoked VMSINSTAL or at the options prompt, you are now asked to choose one of the options for reviewing the release notes. All options copy the release notes to SYS$HELP. If you select option 1, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes immediately on the console terminal. You can terminate the display at any time by pressing Ctrl/C. Installing DEC BASIC 2-5 If you select option 2, VMSINSTAL prompts you for the name of the print queue that you want to use. Either supply the name of the print queue that you want to use or press Return to send the file to the default output print device. For example: * Queue name [SYS$PRINT]: CLUSTER_PRINT If you select option 3, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes immediately on the console terminal and then prompts you for a queue name for the printed version. If you select option 4, the installation procedure will only copy the release notes to the SYS$HELP directory. Next, VMSINSTAL displays the following message: %VMSINSTAL-I-RELMOVED, Product's release notes have been moved to SYS$HELP. DEC BASIC V1.n Installation Procedure Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation, 1995. All rights reserved. The release notes are copied to the following file in the SYS$HELP directory: BASIC01n.RELEASE_NOTES After the installation, you can enter the following command to view the location of the release notes through the Help facility: $ HELP BASIC RELEASE_NOTES 6. Select an installation option. The installation procedure lets you select the components of the kit that you want to install. The choices are as follows: There are three possible installation options. They are described as follows: 1) Perform a normal installation of DEC BASIC. 2) Install OpenVMS AXP system definitions text library only (5-10 minutes). 3) Obtain a copy of the DEC BASIC message text for modification. * Which option do you want to use [1]: 2-6 Installing DEC BASIC If you specify option 1, which is the default, the installation continues. Select the components you want to install by answering Y or N to the questions. If you want a more detailed description of any component, enter a question mark (?). After the explanation is displayed, you are prompted again for a response. If you enter Y, the installation procedure installs the component. 7. Install BASIC Help files. * Do you want to install the BASIC HELP files [YES]? The Help files describe how to invoke DEC BASIC from the DCL command line and the BASIC language features. The Help files require 430 blocks of disk space. Digital recommends that you install these files. 8. Install OpenVMS AXP system definitions. * Do you want to install the OpenVMS AXP system definitions (10 min.) [NO]? This option generates a text library (SYS$LIBRARY:BASIC$STARLET.TLB) that contains OpenVMS AXP system definitions. Depending on your processor and system load, creating this library takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes. The OpenVMS AXP system definitions require 5000 blocks of disk space. 9. Install Motif definitions. * Do you want to install the Motif definitions [YES]? Answering YES to this option puts the DEC BASIC version of the Motif definitions, DECW$MOTIF.BAS, into the SYS$LIBRARY directory. These definitions require 1500 blocks of disk space and contain the Constant, Record, and External declarations needed to do Motif programming. Examples are also put into the DECW$EXAMPLES area provided it exists. Note, if the DECW$EXAMPLES area does not exist the default for this question is NO, and the examples are not provided. 10.Purge files. * Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? Installing DEC BASIC 2-7 The directories SYS$HELP, SYS$LIBRARY, SYS$MESSAGE, SYS$SYSTEM, SYS$TEST, and SYS$EXAMPLES may contain previous versions of DEC BASIC files. These files are replaced with new files during the installation, but the previous files are not automatically purged. Purging is recommended. In response to the purging prompt, press Return or enter Y to purge the files, or enter N to keep them. 11.Respond to license registration queries. DEC BASIC supports the OpenVMS License Management Facility (LMF). The installation procedure displays li- cense information about DEC BASIC. It asks whether you have registered and loaded your Product Authorization Key (PAK) for each product. The following is an example of the information and the queries presented by the installation procedure: Product: BASIC Producer: DEC Version: 1.n Release Date: dd-mmm-yyyy * Does this product have an authorization key registered and loaded? If you have not registered and loaded your PAK, you must answer NO to this question. You have to register and load your PAKs to successfully complete the installation (see Section 1.1). If you have not done so, you should stop the installation, register and load your PAKs, and then restart the installation. 12.Read informational messages. At this point, the installation procedure displays a number of informational messages that report on the progress of the installation. There are no further questions. If the installation procedure has been successful up to this point, VMSINSTAL moves the new or modified files to their target directories, updates help files, and updates DCL tables, if necessary. %VMSINSTAL-I-MOVEFILES, files will now be moved to their target directories... 2-8 Installing DEC BASIC The SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB and SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE files are updated to include the new versions of the DEC BASIC help text and the BASIC command-line definition. Also, if you answered Y in response to the prompt that requests a file purge, previous versions of the DEC BASIC files are now purged. 13.Observe the IVP. VMSINSTAL now places the IVP files into the directory SYS$TEST and invokes the IVP to verify that DEC BASIC was installed successfully. You can also run the IVP independently, after DEC BASIC is installed, to verify that the software is available on your system. You might need to run the IVP after a system failure to make sure that users can access DEC BASIC. You can do this by invoking the following command procedure: $ @SYS$TEST:BASIC$IVP.COM. If DEC BASIC was installed successfully, the IVP displays the following: %VMSINSTAL-I-IVPSUCCESS, DEC BASIC V1.n Installation test PASSED The DEC BASIC IVP has succeeded 14.End the installation procedure. The end of the installation is indicated by the following message: Installation of DEC BASIC V1.n completed at hh:mm VMSINSTAL procedure done at hh:mm Depending on whether you specified parameters on the VMSINSTAL command line, the * Products: prompt or the DCL prompt ($) may appear. If the * Products: prompt appears, you can return to the DCL prompt ($) by pressing Ctrl/Z. VMSINSTAL deletes or changes entries in the process symbol tables during the installation. Therefore, if you are going to continue using the installation account (such as SYSTEM) and you want to restore these symbols, you should log out and log in again. Installing DEC BASIC 2-9 3 ________________________________________________________________ After Installing DEC BASIC After DEC BASIC is installed, it can be invoked by all users with the BASIC command. The installation procedure modifies the DCL command table so that the BASIC command is recognized and processed. However, the previous command table is still in effect for those users who are currently logged in. All logged-in users who want to use the BASIC command must log out and log in again, or use the following DCL command: $ SET COMMAND /TABLES=SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES You can perform the following tasks after DEC BASIC is installed: o Running the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) separately o Making the product usable in a VMScluster environment 3.1 Running the Installation Verification Procedure Separately You usually run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) during installation. If you have system problems and want to run the IVP separately to ensure the integrity of installed files, use the following command: $ @SYS$TEST:BASIC$IVP.COM After Installing DEC BASIC 3-1 3.2 Making DEC BASIC Usable in a VMScluster Environment If you want to run DEC BASIC on multiple nodes of a VMScluster environment, first check to see that you have the appropriate software license (see Section 1.1). Then, perform the following steps after you install DEC BASIC: 1. Enter the LICENSE LOAD command to activate the license on each node on which DEC BASIC is to be executed. 2. Use the OpenVMS System Management (SYSMAN) utility to execute a set of commands on all cluster nodes, whether or not the nodes are licensed to use DEC BASIC; failure to do so may cause unexpected errors for users. ________________________Note ________________________ If you are using a dual-architecture (VAX and AXP systems), heterogeneous cluster, before executing these commands, make sure the appropriate logical names have been set to define the scope of the SYSMAN DO commands. For more information, see the OpenVMS system management documentation. _____________________________________________________ While logged in as SYSTEM or as another user name that has the SETPRV privilege or the CMKRNL and SYSPRV privileges, use SYSMAN to update the version of DCLTABLES.EXE available, as follows: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER %SYSMAN-I-ENV, current command environment: Clusterwide on local cluster Username SYSTEM will be used on nonlocal nodes SYSMAN> DO INSTALL REPLACE SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NODE1 %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NODE2 SYSMAN will cause each DO command to be executed on all nodes of the local cluster. 3-2 After Installing DEC BASIC 3. If DEC BASIC is installed as a known image, then do the following: SYSMAN> DO INSTALL REPLACE SYS$SYSTEM:BASIC.EXE %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NODE1 %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NODE2 4. If the DEC BASIC message file is installed as a known image, then do the following: SYSMAN> DO INSTALL REPLACE SYS$MESSAGE:BASIC$MSG.EXE %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NODE1 %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NODE2 5. Finally, exit from SYSMAN: SYSMAN> EXIT $ 3.3 Setting User Account Requirements To work with DEC BASIC, user accounts on your system must have certain privileges. 3.3.1 User Account Privileges To use DEC BASIC, each account must have at least the TMPMBX and NETMBX privileges. Use the OpenVMS Authorize utility to determine whether users have the privileges they require. After Installing DEC BASIC 3-3 A ________________________________________________________________ Sample Installation This appendix provides a sample listing for the DEC BASIC full development kit. A.1 Full Development Kit Example A-1 is a sample installation for the DEC BASIC full development kit. This installation was performed on an OpenVMS AXP Version 6.1 system that had no previous version of DEC BASIC installed. Depending which layered products you have on your system, you might see additional messages and questions when you perform your installation. This installation assumes that DECnet has been shut down and that OPTIONS N is specified to print the release notes.
