Programmers and end users can use one of many Digital or third-party tools with the gateway to have access to the data. Each SequeLink server is configured to a particular server link, network transport, and database. SequeLink servers are ODBC-compliant and support multiple databases, operating systems, and network transports. For a complete list of the supported hardware and software, see the Software Product Description (SPD) for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink on OpenVMS. This chapter describes how the gateway for SequeLink works and describes what you must do to configure the gateway for SequeLink. 1.1 Components of a Gateway System The following software products or components are needed to obtain access to SequeLink data: o A user interface, which can be a Digital or third-party product; the gateway for SequeLink does not have its own user interface o Rdb/Dispatch, which is provided with DEC Rdb or Common Components (you must have DEC Rdb or Common Components installed to use the gateway for SequeLink) o The gateway for SequeLink o One or more SequeLink servers Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 1-1 Figure 1-1 shows the components of the gateway system. Figure 1-1 Components of the Gateway System The following sections describe the functions of each of these components. Section 1.2 describes the possible configurations of these components. 1.1.1 User Interface The gateway for SequeLink does not have its own user interface. Users or programmers can use any of the supported Digital and third-party tools described in the DEC DB Integrator Product Family User's Guide. These tools are installed separately from the gateway for SequeLink. With any user interface, users provide a set of attach specification qualifiers that determine what database is accessed, and how the database is accessed. The qualifiers are described fully in the DEC DB Integrator Product Family User's Guide. The user interface provides the means for a user to submit a request, which is passed to Rdb/Dispatch. The user interface also returns responses from Rdb/Dispatch to the user. 1.1.2 Rdb/Dispatch Interface All data requests made from user interfaces are routed through the Rdb/Dispatch interface. Rdb/Dispatch processes these requests and sends them to the DBI engine for further processing. When the DBI engine returns a response, Rdb/Dispatch sends that response back to the user interface. 1-2 Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Rdb/Dispatch is installed as part of the DEC Rdb or Common Components installation. You must have DEC Rdb or Common Components installed to use the gateway for SequeLink. 1.1.3 Gateway for SequeLink The gateway for SequeLink includes two components called the DBI engine and the SequeLink client. The DBI engine receives the request from Rdb/Dispatch and optimizes it. The gateway then ensures that the request is translated into a form that the SequeLink client can understand. The SequeLink client passes the request on to the appropriate SequeLink server. When a response is returned from the SequeLink server, it is passed back through the SequeLink gateway. 1.1.4 SequeLink Servers and Target Databases The SequeLink server resides on the same system as the database and manages communications and data access. The gateway for SequeLink supports several SequeLink servers. A SequeLink server is customized to run a particular network transport on a particular operating system. For a list of the SequeLink servers supported by the current version of DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink, see the SPD for the gateway for SequeLink. SequeLink servers can run many different network transport systems. The gateway for SequeLink can use any of the following network transports: o TCP/IP o DECnet o APPC Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 1-3 1.2 Possible Configurations for Access to Target Databases The following sections describe the possible configura- tions for data access. 1.2.1 Local Access to a SequeLink Target Database In local access, all the components in the gateway system are located on the same node. For example, you might have all the components on the same OpenVMS system, as shown in Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2 Local Access to a SequeLink Data Source The following attach specification attaches to a local SequeLink server: SQL> ATTACH 'FILENAME/TYPE=SQLNK/TRANSPORT=TCP- cont> /NODE=THIS1/USER=ME/PASSWORD=MY_PASSWORD- cont> /SERVICE=INFORMIX/DATABASE=MY_DATABASE'; The transport type, node, and service name are required even for local data access. In the previous example, the user name and password of the server node and database are also required. 1.2.2 Network Access In network access, the user interface, Rdb/Dispatch, and the gateway for SequeLink are on one node, and the SequeLink server and data source are on a different node. The gateway for SequeLink and the SequeLink server communicate through a network connection, as shown in Figure 1-3. For example, you might have the gateway running on an OpenVMS AXP system and the server and target database on a remote HP-UX system. 1-4 Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Figure 1-3 Network Access to a SequeLink Target Database The following attach specification attaches to a SequeLink server across the network: SQL> ATTACH 'FILENAME/TYPE=SQLNK/TRANSPORT=TCP- cont> /NODE=OTHER/USER=ME/PASSWORD=MY_PASSWORD- cont> /SERVICE=INFORMIX/DATABASE=MY_DATABASE'; This example is similar to that for local access, except that the node specified with the NODE qualifier is the remote node where the server is located. 1.2.3 Remote Access In remote access, the user interface and Rdb/Dispatch are located on a node remote from the system where Rdb/Dispatch and the gateway for SequeLink are installed. The user interface uses the local Rdb/Dispatch software to communicate with the remote Rdb/Dispatch software on the system where the gateway and other components are installed, as shown in Figure 1-4. For example, you might have the user working at an AXP workstation running the OSF/1 operating system, the gateway on an OpenVMS system, and the SequeLink server and target database on an IBM system running MVS. Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 1-5 Figure 1-4 Remote Access to a SequeLink Target Database For remote access, the user must provide the name of the remote node on which the gateway for SequeLink is running in the attach specification, and, if necessary, the user name and password for the server node. In the following example, the gateway for SequeLink is running on node QUILTS and the SequeLink server is running on node MVS_ NODE: SQL> ATTACH 'FILENAME QUILTS::/TYPE=SQLNK/TRANSPORT=TCP- cont> /NODE=MVS_NODE/USER=ME/SERVICE=MVSDB2/PASSWORD=SERVER_PW- cont> /USER=SERVER_USER/DB_USER=DB_ME/DB_PASSWORD=DB_PASSWORD'; 1.3 Coordination with the SequeLink System Each site should have a gateway coordinator. This person is responsible for managing the gateway for SequeLink software. The gateway coordinator must work with the database administrator (DBA) for the SequeLink target databases to ensure that gateway users have access to the data. The following sections describe the tasks the coordinator and DBA must perform. 1.3.1 Gateway Coordinator The gateway coordinator must obtain information from the SequeLink DBA about the data gateway users will be accessing and the SequeLink server they will use to access it. The coordinator must provide this information to gateway users so they know which qualifiers to use in an attach specification. The gateway coordinator must tell the gateway users: o Which user interface product or products will be used with the gateway for SequeLink 1-6 Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink o The name of the node on which DBI resides if users will be using network access o The name of the SequeLink service used to access data o Any required user name, password, transport, node, and database information o The names of the database tables that users will be accessing and any necessary database key (dbkey) information If the target database is case sensitive, users must be aware of this. If it is case sensitive, they must enter certain attach specification qualifiers in the proper case so they will be recognized by SequeLink. Users might also need to consult ANSI quotation rules when importing tables to ensure that they use the proper case because SQL converts all names to uppercase before passing them to the gateway. The attach specification qualifiers used to access SequeLink data sources are described in the DEC DB Integrator Product Family User's Guide. The coordinator should be familiar with these qualifiers in order to provide information to gateway users. 1.3.2 SequeLink Server Administrator The DBA should provide the information listed in Section 1.3.1 to the gateway coordinator. For more information about administering the SequeLink Server system, see your SequeLink documentation. 1.4 OpenVMS System Setup Before using the gateway for SequeLink, you must ensure that: o DEC Rdb or Common Components have been installed on the node on which the gateway for SequeLink is installed. o The gateway for SequeLink has been installed. o All post-installation procedures have been performed. o The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) has run successfully. Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 1-7 o The required SequeLink server is running. o The required target database systems are running. 1-8 Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink The remainder of this guide describes how to: o Install the gateway for SequeLink for OpenVMS o Install Common Components o Perform the post-installation procedures o Run the IVP 1.5 SequeLink Server System Setup Your SequeLink server must be installed and properly configured. Refer to the SequeLink documentation for installation and configuration information. Configuring DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 1-9 2 ________________________________________________________________ Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation This chapter discusses the preparations and requirements necessary for installing the gateway for SequeLink. Your bill of materials (BOM) and indented bills report (BIL) specify the number and contents of your media. Be sure to verify the contents of your kit with this information. If your kit is damaged or if you find that parts of it are missing, contact your Digital representative. The gateway for SequeLink provides online release notes. Digital strongly recommends that you read the release notes before proceeding with the installation. For information on accessing the online release notes, see Section 3.1.1. 2.1 Prerequisite Hardware The gateway for SequeLink works with all VAX and AXP hardware. 2.2 Prerequisite and Optional Software You must have the following software installed on the same node on which you will install the gateway for SequeLink Version 3.1. This software must be installed before you install the gateway for SequeLink: o For VAX: OpenVMS Version 5.5-2 up to but not including Version 6.0 and DECnet Phase IV. o For AXP: OpenVMS Version 6.1 and DECnet for OpenVMS AXP Version 1.5 (Phase IV) or higher. Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation 2-1 o Common Components-Refer to Section 2.2.1 for instruc- tions. In addition, you can have DEC DB Integrator Version 3.1 installed and use it with the gateway for SequeLink. You must have supported SequeLink server software and associated databases installed on the system that will be the SequeLink server system. For a list of supported SequeLink software, see the gateway for SequeLink Software Product Description (SPD). The SPD contains a complete list of prerequisite and optional software and their required version numbers. 2.2.1 Common Components Installation Requirement The Common Components are software components that provide relational database functions for several Digital products. The Common Components consist of: o SQL interface o SQL/Services server o Rdb/Dispatch interface and Rdb/Remote server The Common Components are required in order to use the following products: o DEC DB Integrator (DBI) o DEC DB Integrator Gateway products o DEC Rdb DBI requires Common Components in the following ways: o Any process that runs the DBI software or that accesses a DBI logical database, locally or remotely, requires Rdb/Dispatch. For example, if a DBI application is running on a local node and attaches to a DBI logical database on a remote node, both nodes must have Rdb/Dispatch installed. o Creating a DBI logical database requires SQL. 2-2 Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation A Common Components kit is provided with each product. The Common Components kit is part of the DEC Rdb media kit and the Common Components have the same version number as DEC Rdb. However, you can install the Common Components separately from the other components of DEC Rdb and they do not require a DEC Rdb license. 2.2.1.1 Why You Must Install Common Components Each product that requires Common Components requires a specific version of Common Components. In the case of DEC Rdb, the product installation automatically includes the Common Components installation. For DBI or a DBI gateway installation, however, you must separately install the Common Components. If the required version of Common Components is not installed on your system, you can install DBI or a DBI gateway, but you cannot successfully use the product. The DBI or gateway installation procedure prints a warning and completes, but the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) fails. Because each product requires a specific version of Common Components, you may need to have more than one version of Common Components installed on a system at any given time. For example, suppose you want to install DBI on a system running VAX Rdb/VMS Version 4.2 with a critical set of databases and applications. The Version 4.2 Common Components cannot be disturbed. However, to use DBI Version 3.1, you must install Common Components Version 6.0. The solution is to install the multiversion variant of Common Components Version 6.0, as described in Section A.1.2. This variant allows multiple versions of Common Components, or DEC Rdb itself, to coexist on the same system without affecting each other, and does not significantly add to the tasks of system or database administration. Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation 2-3 2.2.1.2 Checking for Common Components It is not necessary to install a single version of Common Components more than once per system. Use the following procedure to determine whether or not the correct version of Common Components has already been installed on a system. If Version 6.0 has not been installed, you must perform the procedure described in Appendix A in order to use Version 3.1 of DBI or any DBI gateway product. To find out if the Common Components have been installed on your OpenVMS system, enter: $ DIR SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER.COM If the file SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER.COM does not exist, you must install Common Components. If the file does exist, enter: $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER 6.0 If you see any of the following messages, you must install Common Components: %SQL-E-SETVER SQL Version 6.0 does not exist on your system. %SQL-E-SETVER SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]SQL$SHR.EXE Image Ident Problem %SQL-E-SETVER IMAGE IDENT = n.n, VERSION = 6.0 The last two messages indicate that standard (nonmul- tiversion) DEC Rdb software has been installed on the system. If you see the following messages, with or without the word MULTIVERSION, Common Components have already been installed. You do not need to install the Common Components software again. Current PROCESS SQL environment is version V6.0-nn (MULTIVERSION) Current PROCESS Rdb/Dispatch environment is version V6.0-nn (MULTIVERSION) 2-4 Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation 2.3 License Registration Before you install and run the gateway for SequeLink Version 3.1 on a newly licensed node or cluster, you must first register a Product Authorization Key (PAK) using the License Management Facility (LMF). The PAK may be shipped along with the kit if you ordered the license and media together; otherwise, it is shipped separately based on your license order. If you are installing the gateway for SequeLink as an update on a node or cluster already licensed for this software, you have already completed the PAK registration requirements. If you are installing prerequisite or optional software along with the gateway for SequeLink, review the PAK status and install the PAKs for any prerequisite or optional software before you install the gateway for SequeLink. You must register and load your license for the gateway for SequeLink before you can use the software. To register a license under OpenVMS, first log in to the system manager's account, SYSTEM. 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 PAK. o At the DCL prompt, enter the LICENSE REGISTER command with the appropriate qualifiers that correspond to PAK information. For complete information on using LMF, see the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual. 2.4 Installation Procedure Requirements This section and those that follow discuss various requirements for installing the gateway for SequeLink. The installation takes approximately 1 to 5 minutes. The actual time depends on the type of media, the processor type, and the system configuration. Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation 2-5 2.4.1 Privileges and Disk Space To install the gateway for SequeLink, you must be logged in to an account that has the SETPRV privilege or at least the following privileges: o CMKRNL o WORLD o SYSPRV Note that the VMSINSTAL procedure turns off the BYPASS privilege at the start of the installation. Table 2-1 summarizes the storage requirements for the gateway for SequeLink during installation and after installation. Table_2-1_Disk_Space_Requirements_________________________ Blocks During Installation__________Blocks_After_Installation___________ ______________________For_AXP_systems_____________________ 11,100 10,300 __________________________________________________________ ______________________For_VAX_systems_____________________ 7,700_________________7,300_______________________________ To determine the number of available disk blocks on the current system disk, enter the following command at the DCL prompt: $ SHOW DEVICE SYS$SYSDEVICE 2.4.2 System Parameters Table 2-2 lists the minimum required system parameter values for the installation. Depending on the kinds of programs and applications running at your site, you might need higher values for some settings. 2-6 Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation Table 2-2 lists some parameters whose units are specified in pages. On OpenVMS AXP systems, the size of a page can differ on different CPUs. Read the values in Table 2-2 as 512-byte pagelets, which are not CPU-specific. Table_2-2_Minimum_Required_System_Parameter_Values________ System_Parameter___________Minimum_Value__________________ _____________________For_AXP_systems______________________ GBLPAGES[1] 7728 GBLSECTIONS[1] 11 __________________________________________________________ _____________________For_VAX_systems______________________ GBLPAGES[1] 1376 GBLSECTIONS[1] 6 [1]The_values_listed_for_these_system_parameters_represent the number of available global pages and global sections required for the installation, not the total number you need to run your system and other software. __________________________________________________________ The following sections show you how to: o Calculate values for the GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS system parameters o Change parameter values with the OpenVMS AUTOGEN utility 2.4.2.1 Calculating the Values for GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS To install and run the gateway for SequeLink, you must have sufficient available global pages or pagelets and global sections. You must first find out how many available global pages or pagelets and sections you have on your system. Then, use AUTOGEN if you need to increase the GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS system parameters. The value for GBLPAGES and the value for GBLSECTIONS in Table 2-2 indicate that you must have at least 7728 unused global pagelets and 11 unused global sections available on your AXP system for the installation to process successfully. To calculate how many unused global Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation 2-7 pagelets and global sections your system has, execute the WRITE command with the F$GETSYI lexical function to find the number of unused global pages or pagelets and global sections. The following example shows how to get this information at your terminal (the default for SYS$OUTPUT): $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("FREE_GBLPAGES") 15848 $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("FREE_GBLSECTS") 24 If the values displayed by the system are greater than the values in Table 2-2, you do not need to increase the values for these parameters. If the values of available global pages or pagelets or global sections are less than the values in Table 2-2, you must increase the system parameter setting. Section 2.4.2.2 describes the procedures for increasing these values using AUTOGEN. 2.4.2.2 Changing System Parameter Values with AUTOGEN Use the AUTOGEN utility to change system parameters. The AUTOGEN utility automatically adjusts values for parameters that are associated with the values you reset manually. To change system parameters with AUTOGEN, edit the following file: SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT Use an editor to access the file. To change a parameter value listed in this file, delete the current value associated with that parameter, and enter the new value. To add a new parameter, add a line to the file that includes both the name of the parameter and its value, for example: PROCSECTCNT = 90 To modify incremental parameters such as GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS, use the prefix ADD_. The following example increases the global page setting by 2000: ADD_GBLPAGES = 2000 2-8 Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation After you make all your changes, exit from the editor and execute the AUTOGEN utility to recalculate your system parameters. Enter the following command at the DCL prompt: $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT When you specify REBOOT, the AUTOGEN utility performs an automatic system shutdown and then reboots (restarts) the system. Any users logged on to the system are immediately disconnected during the shutdown. The automatic reboot puts the new parameter values into effect. The AUTOGEN utility automatically adjusts some of the SYSGEN parameters based on the consumption of resources since the last reboot. If you do not want to take advantage of this automatic adjustment, include the NOFEEDBACK qualifier on the AUTOGEN command line. For more information about using AUTOGEN, see the OpenVMS System Management documentation. 2.4.3 VMSINSTAL Requirements When you invoke the VMSINSTAL procedure, it checks the following: o If you are logged in to a privileged account o If you have adequate quotas for installation o If DECnet is running o If any users are logged in to the system If VMSINSTAL detects any problems during the installation, it notifies you and asks if you want to continue the installation. In some instances, you can enter YES to continue. To stop the installation process and correct the situation, enter NO or press the Return key. Then, correct the problem and restart the installation. Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation 2-9 2.4.4 System Disk Backup At the beginning of the installation, VMSINSTAL asks if you have backed up your system disk. Digital recommends that you back up your system disk before installing any software. Use the backup procedures that are established at your site. For details on backing up a system disk, see the OpenVMS System Management documentation. 2-10 Preparing for DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink Installation 3 ________________________________________________________________ Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink This chapter explains how to install the gateway for SequeLink. Section 3.1 contains a step-by-step description of the installation procedure. 3.1 Installation Procedure The gateway for SequeLink installation procedure consists of a series of questions and informational messages. See Appendix B for a sample installation. To abort the installation procedure at any time, press the Ctrl/Y keys. When you press Ctrl/Y, the installation procedure deletes all files it has created up to that point and exits. You can then start the installation again. Before invoking VMSINSTAL, mount the media (for VAX installations) or place the CD-ROM media into the CD-ROM drive (for AXP installations). When the system prompts you with a question during the installation, the default answer, if there is one, is listed in brackets ([]). 3.1.1 Invoking VMSINSTAL Before invoking VMSINSTAL, log in to a privileged account and set your default device and directory to SYS$UPDATE. The VMSINSTAL procedure is located in SYS$UPDATE. Invoke VMSINSTAL using the following command: @VMSINSTAL saveset-name device-name OPTIONS N If you do not specify the parameters to the VMSINSTAL com- mand, you are prompted for them during the installation. The parameters to the VMSINSTAL command are as follows. Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 3-1 saveset-name The installation name for the component. For the gateway for SequeLink, use the following installation name: LSQK031 device-name The name of the device on which you plan to mount the media. o If the device is a magnetic tape drive, you need to specify only the device name, such as MTA0:. o If the device is a disk drive, such as a CD-ROM reader, you also need to specify a directory. For CD-ROM distribution, the directory name is the same as the saveset name, for example: DKA400:[LSQK031.KIT] For AXP installations, to determine the directory location of the gateway for SequeLink save set on the CD-ROM, see the OpenVMS AXP Layered Products Compact Disc User's Guide booklet that accompanies the CD-ROM distribution kit. OPTIONS N An optional parameter that indicates you want to see the question on release notes. If you do not include the OPTIONS N parameter, VMSINSTAL does not ask you about the release notes. You should review the release notes before proceeding with the installation in case they contain additional information about the installation. If you are restarting the installation and have already reviewed the release notes, you do not need to specify OPTIONS N. Whether or not you specify OPTIONS N, the VMSINSTAL procedure copies the release notes to the SYS$HELP directory. There are several other options you can select when you invoke VMSINSTAL. If you specify more than one option, separate the options with commas (OPTIONS A,N). 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 3-2 Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink file) to save time during a re-installation (typically after upgrading your system). o Get saveset 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 installation. o Alternate root option (R): Lets you install the product to a system root other than that of the operating system. This option makes it possible to test a new product without disturbing the operating system. See the OpenVMS operating system documentation for detailed information on these options. The following example invokes VMSINSTAL to install the gateway for SequeLink from tape drive MTA0: and shows the system response. This example uses the OPTIONS N release notes parameter. The example is a sample installation on an AXP system. An installation on a VAX system would be similar. $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL LSQK031 MTA0: OPTIONS N OpenVMS ALPHA Software Product Installation Procedure V1.5 It is 11-NOV-1994 at 10:36. Enter a question mark (?) at any time for help. If you do not supply either the product name or the device name, VMSINSTAL prompts you for this information later in the installation procedure. The VMSINSTAL procedure does not prompt you for any options, so be sure to include OPTIONS N on the VMSINSTAL command line to access the release notes during the installation. Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 3-3 3.1.2 Steps of the Installation Procedure The following steps describe the installation procedure: 1. Note processes that are still running. %VMSINSTAL-W-ACTIVE, The following processes are still active: SQLSRV$SERVER _RTA3: * Do you want to continue anyway [NO]? YES The installation procedure notes which processes are still active and asks if you want to continue. 2. Confirm system backup. * Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? VMSINSTAL asks if you are satisfied with your system backup. You should always back up your system disk before performing an installation. If you are satisfied with the backup of your system disk, press the Return key. Otherwise, enter NO to discontinue the installation. After you back up your system disk, you can restart the installation. 3. Mount the media. Please mount the first volume of the set on MTA0:. * Are you ready?

You should now mount the first media volume on the device you specified when you invoked the VMSINSTAL procedure. The device name appears in the line preceding the question. VMSINSTAL then asks you if you are ready to continue with the installation. 3-4 Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink If you respond YES to indicate that you are ready, VMSINSTAL displays a message that the media containing the gateway for SequeLink 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 NO in response to the "Are you ready?" question. To abort the installation for other reasons, press the Ctrl/Y keys. 4. Select a release notes option. If you specified OPTIONS N when you started the installation, VMSINSTAL asks a question on release notes. You have four options for handling the release notes. You see the following display: Release notes included with this kit are always copied to SYS$HELP. Additional Release Notes Options: 1. Display release notes 2. Print release notes 3. Both 1 and 2 4. None of the above * Select option [2]: If you select option 1, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes immediately on the terminal. You can terminate the display at any time by pressing Ctrl/C. If you select option 2, VMSINSTAL prompts you for the name of the print queue: * Queue name [SYS$PRINT]: You can press the Return key to send the file to the default output print device or you can enter another queue name. If you select option 3, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes immediately on the terminal and then prompts you for a queue name for the printed version.

For information on installation requirements, see Chapter 2. 3-10 Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 4 ________________________________________________________________ After Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink The following tasks take place after installing the gateway for SequeLink: o Running the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) o Editing the system startup and shutdown files o Ensuring users have sufficient privileges o Reporting problems 4.1 Running the Installation Verification Procedure The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) connects to a SequeLink server based on information you supply and executes an SQL SHOW TABLES statement. Because the IVP is interactive, it is not run during installation. You can run the IVP separately to ensure the integrity of installed files and to ensure that the gateway for SequeLink can connect to SequeLink target data sources. The IVP takes approximately 1 to 2 minutes to run. The actual time depends on the processor type and the server type and location. You must provide the following information in the form of an attach specification after starting the IVP: o The data source database type: SQL400 for Common Components Version 6.0 or SQLNK for Common Components Version 6.1 or higher ________________________Note ________________________ When using the gateway for SequeLink with the Common Components Version 6.0, you must use the argument SQL400 instead of SQLNK. If you use the TYPE=SQLNK After Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 4-1 instead of TYPE=SQL400 with the Common Components Version 6.0, the following message is displayed then you attempt to attach to a database: %SQL-F-ERRATTDEF, Could not use database file specified by SQL$DATABASE -RDB-E-BAD_DB_FORMAT, SQL$DATABASE does not reference a database knownto Rdb -COSI-F-FILESYN, syntax error parsing file The Rdb/Dispatch Version 6.0 software, which is part of the Common Components, supports the SQL400 argument and not the SQLNK argument. _____________________________________________________ o The network transport type: one of DECnet, TCP, or APPC. o The name of the SequeLink service, for example INGRES_ SERVER. o If you are using APPC, specify the APPC mode profile name and LOCAL_LU or ACCESS_NAME. o If necessary, the user name and password needed to attach to the server node. o If necessary, the user name and password needed to access the SequeLink target database. o If required, the name of the database (required for INGRES and INFORMIX). o The name of the SequeLink table the IVP will access. If you do not provide a name, the default is all tables. Use the TABLES qualifier in the attach specification to specify the name of the table. 4.1.1 Invoking the IVP To invoke the IVP, enter the following command: $ @SYS$TEST:LSQK$IVP.COM 4-2 After Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 4.1.2 Sample IVP Log The following is a sample IVP log from an AXP system.

If your site does not support all the transport types, you may want to edit the LSQK$STARTUP.COM file to comment out or delete the unsupported transport types. These transport executable modules are named SSP.EXE where may be APPC, DECnet, or TCP. Comments in the file help you determine which lines to edit. 4.3 Editing the System Startup Files You may want to edit the system startup files to provide for automatic startup of the gateway for SequeLink when your system is restarted. The installation procedure adds the following command file to the SYS$STARTUP directory: SYS$STARTUP:LSQK$STARTUP.COM This command file starts the gateway for SequeLink. You must add this command to the system startup file, SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM. The command file installs the gateway images as shared images. This reduces system overhead and memory requirements when running the gateway for SequeLink. You must position this new command line after the line that invokes the network startup command procedure. The following example shows the network startup command line followed by the gateway for SequeLink startup command line: $ @SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM . . . $ @SYS$STARTUP:LSQK$STARTUP.COM 4-4 After Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 4.4 Editing the System Shutdown File The installation procedure adds the following command file to the SYS$MANAGER directory: LSQK$SHUTDOWN.COM. You can use this command file to remove the images installed by the LSQK$STARTUP.COM procedure. You should add the following line to the system shutdown file, SYS$MANAGER:SYSHUTDOWN.COM: $ @SYS$MANAGER:LSQK$SHUTDOWN.COM 4.5 User Account Privileges Required To use the gateway for SequeLink, each account must have at least the TMPMBX and NETMBX privileges. Use the OpenVMS Authorize utility to determine whether or not users have the privileges they require. 4.6 Determining and Reporting Problems If you encounter a problem while using the gateway for SequeLink, report it to Digital. Depending on the nature of the problem and the type of support you have, you can take one of the following actions: o Call Digital if your software contract or warranty agreement entitles you to telephone support. o Submit a Software Performance Report (SPR). o Fill out and submit a Send Us Your Comments form if the problem has to do with the gateway for SequeLink documentation. There is a form at the front of each manual. Include the section and page number. Review the Software Product Description (SPD) and Warranty Addendum for an explanation of warranty. If you encounter a problem during the warranty period, report the problem as previously indicated or follow alternate instructions provided by Digital for reporting SPD nonconformance problems. After Installing DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink 4-5 A ________________________________________________________________ Prerequisite Installation of Common Components This chapter describes how to install the Common Components, a prerequisite for installation of DEC DB Integrator (DBI) and the DEC DB Integrator Gateway products (DB Integrator Gateways, also referred to as the gateway products). Please note the following requirements: o If you have an existing DEC Rdb kit on your system, you must install the Common Components or install DEC Rdb Version 6.0 before you can use any member of the DBI product family. o If you choose not to upgrade to DEC Rdb Version 6.0, Digital recommends that you install the multiversion Common Components. Installing the multiversion Common Components will not break applications or production systems that require previous versions of DEC Rdb. For more information, see Section A.1.2. o If you do not have DEC Rdb on your system, and do not plan to install it, you must install the Common Components before you can use the DBI product family. A.1 Common Components The Common Components provides support for relational database functions for Digital database products. These components are common to DBI, the DBI gateway products, and DEC Rdb. The Common Components are: o SQL interface o SQL/Services server Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-1 o Rdb/Dispatch and Rdb/Remote server These components must be present on a system in order to run SQL applications. A.1.1 Media Required When you purchase any of the Digital database access products (DBI, DB Integrator Gateways, or DEC Rdb), you receive the kit for that product, plus an entire DEC Rdb software kit, which contains the Common Components. You only need to install the Common Components from the DEC Rdb kit, not the entire kit to use the Common Components with DBI or the gateway products. Install the Common Components using the DEC Rdb installation procedure by choosing the Common Components option during the installation. The Common Components must be present on your system before you can install DBI or a gateway product. A.1.2 Version Variants and Existing Databases If you have a version of DEC Rdb prior to Version 6.0 installed, you do not need to upgrade DEC Rdb in order to install members of the DBI product family, but you must install the Common Components from the DEC Rdb media. Digital recommends that you install the multiversion Common Components if you expect to maintain more than one version of Rdb. The Common Components have two possible variants: o Standard Use when you have only one version of DEC Rdb on your system. o Multiversion Use when you have multiple versions of DEC Rdb or a version DEC Rdb that is different from the version of the Common Components being installed. Installing the multiversion variant will not write over any existing DEC Rdb images from previous versions, such as the Online Help. If you install the multi- version variant of Common Components, you can use the SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER.COM procedure to control the A-2 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components version of Common Components whenever your database environment requires a particular version of SQL or Rdb/Dispatch. For more information about SQL$SETVER, see Section A.8. A.2 Disk Space Required The following tables summarize the storage requirements for installing the Common Components. The values in the lists are approximate. The disk space requirements for OpenVMS AXP are: __________________________________________________________ Needed for Used After Kit______________Installation_________Installation________ Full Development 62,000 62,000 Run-Time_________62,000_______________39,000<>____________ The disk space requirements for OpenVMS VAX are: __________________________________________________________ Used After Kit______________Needed_for_Installation_Installation_____ Full Development 40,000 40,000 Run-Time_________40,000__________________28,000<>_________ A.3 OpenVMS Privileges Required The VMSINSTAL command procedure is located in SYS$UPDATE, which is a restricted directory. To install the Common Components, you must use an account that has the SETPRV privilege authorized. As one of its first actions, the VMSINSTAL command procedure grants all privileges except BYPASS to the process that invokes it. The VMSINSTAL command succeeds only if the installing account has SETPRV privilege. To check the default privileges of the installing account, log in and enter this DCL command: $ SHOW PROCESS/PRIVILEGES Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-3 If the installing account lacks the SETPRV privilege, you cannot install the Common Components. You have two options: o Ask your system manager to use the OpenVMS Authorize utility (AUTHORIZE) to modify the default privileges of the account to include the SETPRV privilege. A-4 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components o Run AUTHORIZE and make the changes yourself, if the installing account has the SYSPRV privilege: $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM $ RUN AUTHORIZE UAF> MODIFY /PRIVILEGES=(SETPRV) UAF> EXIT To activate the change in privileges, you must log out and then log in. ________________________Note ________________________ When installing the Common Components on systems with DECnet/OSI, the installing account must also have the NET$MANAGE identifier. _____________________________________________________ A.4 Unlocking the Process Account Password The installing account cannot have a locked password. If this is the initial installation of the Common Components, the installation procedure creates an account called RDB$REMOTE, or RDB$REMOTEnn for a multiversion installation. If the installing account has a locked password, the installation procedure will be unable to automatically generate a password for this account, and will abort with the following message: ************************************************************* Error generating password for remote account. ************************************************************** To modify an account with a locked password, enter: $ MCR AUTHORIZE UAF> MODIFY /FLAGS=NOLOCKPWD Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-5 A.5 Installing Common Components To install Common Components: 1. Invoke the VMSINSTAL command procedure from a privileged account, using the following syntax: @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL variant-name device-name OPTIONS N Supply the appropriate name for the variant you want to install from the following table: _______________________________________________________ Name_____________Variant__________OpenVMS______________ DECRDBA060 standard AXP DECRDBAMV060 multiversion AXP DECRDB060 standard VAX DECRDBMV060______multiversion_____VAX__________________ Digital recommends that you install the multiversion kit. This avoids possible problems in writing over existing files and images for a different version of the Common Components or DEC Rdb. For example, to install the Common Components OpenVMS AXP multiversion kit on device ddcu, enter: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL decrdbamv060 ddcu: OPTIONS N To install the Common Components OpenVMS VAX standard kit on device ddcu, enter: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL decrdb060 ddcu: OPTIONS N 2. Type CC (for COMMON COMPONENTS) when prompted for the kit type to install. The menu and response should appear as follows: *********************************************************************** From the following menu, please select the type of DEC Rdb kit to install. Choice CC (COMMON COMPONENTS) is included in all 3 DEC Rdb installations and should only be selected when installing a product, other than DEC Rdb, that requires the common components. *********************************************************************** A-6 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components Please select the type of DEC Rdb kit you wish to install: Enter DEV for DEC Rdb DEVELOPMENT (the default) Enter INT for DEC Rdb INTERACTIVE Enter RTO for DEC Rdb RUNTIME-ONLY Enter CC for COMMON COMPONENTS * Enter the kit type to install [DEV]: CC Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-7 When you enter CC, only the Common Components save set (B) will be restored. The following submenu will be displayed: *********************************************************************** The COMMON COMPONENTS option should be selected only when installing a product other than Rdb. It is not intended for use with any Rdb installation. *********************************************************************** Please select the type of COMMON COMPONENTS kit you wish to install: Enter DEV for DEVELOPMENT Enter RTO for RUNTIME-ONLY (the default) * Enter the type of COMMON COMPONENTS to install [RTO]: 3. Press the Return key to select the default option, RUNTIME-ONLY. Do not select the DEVELOPMENT option unless you have purchased one of the following development licenses: o DEC SQL development license o DEC Rdb development license o DEC DB Integrator (DBI) development license Selecting the DEVELOPMENT option provides the addi- tional SQL files needed for development: SQL$PREnn.EXE, SQL$MODnn.EXE; a small number of related files; and all the Rdb/Dispatch and SQL files installed with the RTO default. A.6 Installing Common Components Images as Shared The Common Components installation procedure does not install any images as shared. If you expect Common Components images to be used extensively on your system, you can reduce the system overhead and memory requirements by installing images as shared. When images are not installed as shared, multiple users who access the images at the same time must each have his or her own copy of those images in memory. When the images are installed as shared, everyone uses the same copy of the image, A-8 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components eliminating duplicate copies of an image and improving performance. Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-9 A.6.1 Editing the Startup and Shutdown Procedures for Shared Images The separate startup and shutdown procedures, which are provided to install and remove the SQL and Rdb/Dispatch images, are as follows: o SYS$STARTUP:SQL$STARTUP.COM o SYS$MANAGER:SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM DBI and the DBI Gateways will call these procedures from their own startup and shutdown procedures. The following Rdb/Dispatch images are automatically installed by the SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure: o SYS$LIBRARY:RDBSHR.EXE o SYS$LIBRARY:RDB$SHARE.EXE o SYS$MESSAGE:RDBMSGS.EXE o SYS$MESSAGE:COSIMSG.EXE SQL files are not currently installed by the SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure. However, subroutines to install or to remove these images are included in the SQL$STARTUP.COM proce- dure. To activate the subroutines for the installation and/or removal of SQL images, remove the comment character (!) from the following lines in the SQL$STARTUP.COM and SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM procedures: $ ! GOSUB INSTALL_SQL_IMAGES $ ! GOSUB REMOVE_SQL_IMAGES If you invoke the INSTALL_SQL_IMAGES subroutine, the SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure installs the following SQL images: o SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$INT.EXE o SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHR.EXE o SYS$MESSAGE:SQL$MSG.EXE The INSTALL_SQL_IMAGES subroutine also includes code to install the SQL$UTL_SHARE60.EXE image and the development images, SQL$.EXE, SQL$MOD.EXE, and SQL$PRE.EXE. To execute the installations, remove the comment character preceding the code. The SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure provides an A-10 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components explanation why these images are not included in the default installations. Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-11 Because SQL$UTL_SHAREnn.EXE is a variant image for both standard and multiversion Common Components, you must add additional lines of code to install images for each Common Components version you install as shared. Development images are not typically installed as shared images. A.6.2 Verifying Global Pages and Sections Table A-1 and Table A-2 show the remaining Common Components images not installed as shared on your system. SQL images not installed as shared during Common Components installation are also included in these tables to show the global page and global section requirements. If you install some or all of these images as shared, you must verify that you have enough global pages and global sections to accommodate the shared images. Use the following DCL F$GETSYI lexical function to determine the number of available global pages and global sections: $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("FREE_GBLPAGES") $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("FREE_GBLSECTS") If the number of unused global pages or global sections is less than the number specified in Table A-1 and Table A-2, increase the value using the AUTOGEN utility. Table A-1 lists the approximate number of global pages and global sections required for each Common Components OpenVMS VAX image that you install as shared. <> Table A-2 lists the approximate number of global pagelets and global sections required for each Common Components OpenVMS AXP image that you install as shared. On OpenVMS AXP systems, the size of a page can differ on different systems. Pagelets are 512 bytes and correspond to OpenVMS VAX pages; they are not system-specific. <> A-12 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components Table A-1 Global Pages and Sections Required for Common __________Components_OpenVMS_VAX_Images_________________________ GlobalGlobal Component_____________Image_Name[1]___________________Pages[Sections[2] SQL images SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$INT.EXE[3] 3 2 * SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHR.EXE 16 2 SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$UTL_ 142 3 SHARE60.EXE * SYS$MESSAGE:SQL$MSG.EXE 329 1 * SYS$SYSTEM:SQL$.EXE 1635 2 * SYS$SYSTEM:SQL$PRE.EXE 4911 3 * SYS$SYSTEM:SQL$MOD.EXE 4768 3 [1]If_you_have_installed_the_multiversion_variant_of_the_Common_ Components, some images have the version number added to the end of the image name.

[3]SQL$INT calls either SQL$SHR, or a version-specific variant (such as SQL$SHR60), depending on what version you have specified. ________________________________________________________________ A.6.3 Removing Installed Images The SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM procedure removes Common Components images that have been installed. By default, the SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM procedure removes only the images installed by Rdb/Dispatch. However, a subroutine is included that removes the SQL images. To activate this subroutine, remove the comment character (!) from the following line in the SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM procedure where this subroutine is invoked: $ ! GOSUB REMOVE_SQL_IMAGES ! In SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM A-14 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components The SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM procedure only removes images when no other client requiring the Common Components is installed on the system. Consequently, it requires that you pass a calling-client parameter, which is also referred to as P1, to determine if any other clients are still present on the system. You must execute the SQL$SETVER.COM procedure before you execute the SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM procedure. Otherwise, you receive an error message indicating that the logical names were not set. For more information about SQL$SETVER.COM, see Section A.8. The syntax for using the SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM procedure is as follows: $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER $ @SYS$MANAGER:SQL$SHUTDOWN In the preceding example, is the Common Components version shipped with the client, and is one of the following: o DBI-use for DBI and the relational gateway products o NSDS-use for the nonrelational gateway products o RDBB-use for Rdb/ELN o RDM-use for DEC Rdb o VIDA-use for VIDA for IDMS/R o VIDA2-use for RdbAccess for DB2 Version 1.0 or Version 2.0 o VIDAO-use for RdbAccess for ORACLE Version 1.0 or Version 2.0 The relational gateway products are: o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for DB2 o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for EDA/SQL o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for ORACLE o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SYBASE Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-15 The nonrelational gateway products are: o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for Custom Drivers o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for DBMS o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for DSM o DEC DB Integrator Gateway for RMS The following example sets the Common Components to Version 6.0, then removes the images for the nonrelational gateway products: $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER 6.0 $ @SYS$MANAGER:SQL$SHUTDOWN NSDS By default, the removal of images from the INSTALL utility is triggered by the logical names SQL$VERSION_VARIANT and RDB$DISPATCH_VERSION_VARIANT, which are defined by the SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER.COM procedure. ________________________Note ________________________ It is possible to set these logical names to different versions for the process, job, group, and system tables, if necessary. However, be very careful to avoid creating incompatibilities if you do so. Do this only when advised that it is absolutely necessary to solve a particular problem. _____________________________________________________ You can override the SQL$VERSION_VARIANT and RDB$DISPATCH_ VERSION_VARIANT logical names by passing a valid calling- client name as parameter P1, and the Common Components version to remove as P2. To override the use of the logical names to determine which Common Component images to remove, pass the version as P2. The following command removes Version 6.0 images: $ @SYS$MANAGER:SQL$SHUTDOWN DBI 6.0 If the DEC Rdb multiversion Version 6.0 software is installed, only the Version 6.0 images will be removed; otherwise the standard images, if they are Version 6.0 images, will be removed. A-16 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A.7 Installing SQL Images for Privileged Applications Applications that use SQL and are installed with privileges require that you install the following images: o SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$INT.EXE o SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHR.EXE (or SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHR60.EXE) None of the SQL images supplied as part of the Common Components is installed unless you modify the SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure to permit it. Unless you install these images, applications installed with privileges will encounter the following error: %SQL-F-NOENTRYPT, Older SQL version not compatible with compiled SQL It is not necessary to install the SQL images as shared or with privileges to avoid this error. Installing in any manner will avoid the error. The separate startup and shutdown procedures, which are provided to install and remove the SQL and Rdb/Dispatch images, are as follows: o SYS$STARTUP:SQL$STARTUP.COM o SYS$MANAGER:SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM DBI and the DBI Gateways will call these procedures from their own startup and shutdown procedures. The following Rdb/Dispatch images are automatically installed by the SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure: o SYS$LIBRARY:RDBSHR.EXE o SYS$LIBRARY:RDB$SHARE.EXE o SYS$MESSAGE:RDBMSGS.EXE o SYS$MESSAGE:COSI$MSG.EXE Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-17 A.7.1 Editing the Startup and Shutdown Procedures for Privileged Applications SQL files are not currently installed by the SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure. However, a subroutine to install these images is included in the SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure. To activate the installation and/or removal of SQL images, remove the comment character (!) from the following lines in the SQL$STARTUP.COM and SQL$SHUTDOWN.COM procedures: $ ! GOSUB INSTALL_SQL_IMAGES $ ! GOSUB REMOVE_SQL_IMAGES The INSTALL_SQL_IMAGES subroutine in the SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure installs the following SQL images: o SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$INT.EXE o SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHR.EXE (or SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHR60.EXE) o SYS$MESSAGE:SQL$MSG.EXE (or SYS$MESSAGE:SQL$MSG60.EXE) The subroutine also includes code to install the development images SQL$.EXE, SQL$MOD.EXE, and SQL$PRE.EXE, and the internal SQL utilities image SQL$UTL_SHARE60.EXE. To execute the installations, you must remove the comment character that precedes the code. The SQL$STARTUP.COM procedure provides an explanation of why these images are not included in the default installations. Because the SQL$UTL_SHAREnn.EXE image is a variant image for both standard and multiversion Common Components, you must add additional lines for each Common Components version you install as shared. Development images are not typically installed as shared images. If you install some or all of these images as shared, you must verify that you have enough global pages and global sections to accommodate the shared images. Table A-1 lists the approximate number of global pages and global sections required for each Common Components for OpenVMS VAX image that you install as shared.<> Table A-2 provides the global pagelets and sections required for the Common Components for OpenVMS AXP images. On OpenVMS AXP systems, the size of a page can differ on A-18 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components different CPUs. Pagelets are 512 bytes and correspond to OpenVMS VAX pages; they are not CPU-specific. <> A.8 Using Different Versions of the Common Components Certain environments may require a specific version of the Common Components, or may need to set each component to a different version. The SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER.COM and SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHOVER.COM procedures are provided with the Common Components installation to set up the logical names and symbols necessary for using a particular version of SQL and/or Rdb/Dispatch. ________________________Note ________________________ To use the DBI Gateway products or DEC DB Integrator, the Common Components' environment must be set to 6.0. This can be done at the system, group, or process level, as described in the following section. _____________________________________________________ The SQL$SETVER.COM procedure will accept the following three parameters: o P1 = (REQUIRED) version (that is, S for STANDARD, 6.0 for MULTIVERSION) or RESET to reset SQL symbols or REMOVE to remove SQL and DISPATCH logical names. o P2 = (OPTIONAL) Logical name table qualifier (PROCESS, GROUP, JOB, or SYSTEM). The default is PROCESS. o P3 = (OPTIONAL) Common Components logical names to set (SQL, DISPATCH, or ALL). The default is ALL. This can go in P2 or P3 as the last parameter. The following example sets both SQL and Rdb/Dispatch to multiversion Version 6.0. If multiversion Version 6.0 is not installed and a standard version is found, the standard version will be set. $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER 6.0 Current PROCESS SQL environment is version 6.0-0 (MULTIVERSION) Current PROCESS Rdb/Dispatch environment is version 6.0-0 (MULTIVERSION) Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-19 The following examples show other possible parameters: ! To set only Rdb/Dispatch $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER 6.0 DISPATCH ! To set only SQL $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER 6.0 SQL ! To set only SQL in group table $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER 6.0 /GROUP SQL ! To set both SQL and Rdb/Dispatch to standard version $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER S ! To set only Rdb/Dispatch to standard version $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER S DISPATCH ! To set only SQL to standard version $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SETVER S SQL The SQL$SHOVER.COM procedure has the following two functions: o To show the current settings for each logical name table: $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHOVER Current PROCESS SQL environment is version 6.0-0 (MULTIVERSION) Current PROCESS DISPATCH environment is version 6.0-0 (MULTIVERSION) o To show all the versions installed on the system. You can use this to determine what the highest version of Rdb/Dispatch or SQL is installed on the system. $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHOVER VERSIONS "SQL$INSTALLED_VERSIONS" = "*6.0-0" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE) "RDB$DISPATCH_INSTALLED_VERSIONS" = "V4.0-5" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE) "*6.0-0" The * in the preceding output indicates a multiversion kit. The following examples show other possible parameters: ! To show only Rdb/Dispatch $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHOVER VERSIONS DISPATCH ! To show only SQL $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHOVER VERSIONS SQL ! To show only 6.0 Rdb/Dispatch $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHOVER VERSIONS DISPATCH 6.0 ! To show only 6.0 SQL and suppress output $ @SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$SHOVER VERSIONS SQL 6.0 NOSHOW A-20 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A.9 Deleting Versions of the Common Components For your convenience, the Common Components kit provides a command procedure, SYS$MANAGER:SQL$DEINSTALL_DELETE.COM, to delete current or previous versions of the Common Components. You must run this command procedure from an account that has SETPRV privileges, or from an account that has SYSPRV, CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and WORLD privileges. You can use this command file to delete previous versions of the Common Components when you have installed a newer version and determine that prior versions are no longer needed. ________________________Note ________________________ The SQL$DEINSTALL_DELETE.COM procedure will not execute if multiple products requiring Common Components are found on the system or DEC Rdb of the same version is found on the system. _____________________________________________________ When you run the command procedure, you may choose to pass a single parameter that indicates the output location for all messages generated while the command procedure processes. This parameter can either be the name of a file (for example, SQL$DEINSTALL_DELETE.LOG) or the logical name SYS$OUTPUT (which displays messages on your screen). To run the SQL$DEINSTALL_DELETE command procedure and have messages sent to a file named SQL$DEINSTALL_DELETE.LOG, enter: $ @SYS$MANAGER:SQL$DEINSTALL_DELETE.COM SQL$DEINSTALL_DELETE.LOG The command procedure checks for the existence of the different versions of the Common Components on your system, and then displays a menu listing each version found (standard first, and then the oldest to the most current multiversion): Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-21 SQL versions currently installed on your system * Version 5.1 (Multiversion) 1 Version 6.0 (Multiversion) 0 Quit (* This version cannot be deinstalled by this procedure) Enter Choice to deinstall (0...1) : 0 If the command procedure displays an asterisk (*) next to a version entry on the menu, it means that version cannot be deleted by the SQL$DEINSTALL_DELETE.COM procedure because it is prior to Version 6.0. Enter the menu number for the version you want to delete. For example, to delete Version 6.0 multiversion, enter the following: Enter Choice to deinstall (0...1) : 1 The command procedure displays the following message: You are about to deinstall SQL 6.0 (Multiversion) If your system is a cluster member, this procedure creates the SYS$SCRATCH:SQL$CLUSTER_DEINSTALL60.COM procedure. Use this command procedure to remove the Common Components Version 6.0 (multiversion) from other nodes in the cluster. You must either run this command procedure on each node that has Common Components Version 6.0 (multiversion) installed, or use the SYSMAN utility to run it clusterwide. Next, the command procedure asks you to confirm that you want to continue with the deinstallation (whether or not your system is part of a cluster): Enter Y(ES) to continue to deinstall SQL 6.0 (Multiversion): YES The final prompt asks you whether or not you want to delete the RDB$REMOTE account for the version you specified (keep this account if, for example, you plan to use it as a template to build other accounts): Do you want to delete RDB$REMOTE60? [N]: YES A-22 Prerequisite Installation of Common Components When the command procedure completes the deletion of the appropriate files, it displays the following message: %SQL-I-END Deinstallation of SQL 6.0 (Multiversion) now complete Prerequisite Installation of Common Components A-23 B ________________________________________________________________ Sample Installation This appendix contains the log of an installation of DEC DB Integrator Gateway for SequeLink on an OpenVMS VAX system and of the running of the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP).
