the SPDs.
4. Printing the Documents
You can print the documentation for the Layered Products Library
or Operating Environment Update by entering an operating system
command. You do not need a product license to print these
documents.
See the Layered Products Library or the Operating Environment
Update Master Index for pointers to product directory
specifications.
To print a document in Table 2-1 with text output, send the file
to an ASCII printer by entering a command in one of the following
formats:
$ PRINT/QUEUE=queue_ANSI device:[README]file-name.TXT
$ PRINT/QUEUE=queue_ANSI device:[product.DOCUMENTATION]file-
name.TXT
To print a document from the [product.DOCUMENTATION] directory
with PostScript output, send the file to a PostScript printer by
entering the command in the following format:
$ PRINT/QUEUE=queue_POST device:[product.DOCUMENTATION]file-
name.PS
In the preceding examples, device represents the name of the
drive on which you have placed your Layered Products Library
or Operating Environment Update DVD/CD-ROM.
5. Installing Layered Products
This section describes how to install layered products on an
OpenVMS on Integrity Servers system.
5.1 Location of Product Save Sets and Installation Instructions
The Layered Products Library or the Operating Environment Update
Master Index gives the directory locations of the products on
the software binaries DVD or CD-ROM. This information is also
available in the CDMASTER_INDEX.TXT files in the [README]
directory on the first disc.
Installation information for each product, in ASCII text and
PostScript formats, is located in the [product.DOCUMENTATION]
directories, where product is the product directory name as
given in the Layered Products Library or Operating Environment
Update Master Index.
5.2 Installation Methods
Install layered products using one of the following methods:
· Using the VMSINSTAL utility.
· Using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility.
5.2.1 Using VMSINSTAL
Individual layered product kits are located in their own
directory hierarchies. For this reason, when you install
a layered product, you must use a VMSINSTAL command line that
is slightly different from the one given in the product's
installation guide.
When you enter the VMSINSTAL command line, specify the
disc drive and the directory by entering a command in the
following format:
@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL product drive:[directory.KIT]
For example:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DECFMS024 DQA400:[DECFMS024.KIT]
Additionally, certain system privileges must be enabled
before you run VMSINSTAL. You must be logged in to a
privileged account (such as the system manager's account,
SYSTEM) that has the SETPRV privilege or at least the
following privileges enabled:
· CMKRNL
· SYSPRV
· WORLD
To check whether your process has SETPRV or other privileges
enabled, enter the following command:
$ SHOW PROCESS/PRIVILEGES
5.2.2 Using the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility
Beginning with OpenVMS Alpha Version 6.1, some products can be
installed using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility.
Not all products are available with this installation
technology.
Use a command in the following format to install one or more
software products that support installations by means of
POLYCENTER Software Installation utility:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL product/VERSION=number /SOURCE=disc-
drive:[directory.KIT]
For example:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL DQS/VERSION=1.3 /SOURCE=DQA400:[DQS013.KIT]
Additionally, certain system privileges must be enabled before
you install products. You must be logged in to a privileged
account (such as the system manager's account, SYSTEM) that
has at least the following privileges enabled:
· CMKRNL
· SYSLCK
· SYSPRV
To check whether your process has these privileges enabled,
enter the following command:
$ SHOW PROCESS/PRIVILEGES
To see whether a previous version of a product is installed,
use the PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT command. For example:
$ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT FORTRAN
Refer to the product's installation guide for more information
on installing products using the POLYCENTER Software
Installation utility.
To use other features of the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility, see the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility
User's Guide.
HP OpenVMS Online Documentation Libraries (ODL) for
Layered Products on HP Integrity Servers and Operating
Environments on Integrity/Alpha Servers
This section provides introductory information about the Online
Documentation Libraries CD-ROM collection. It provides general and
platform-specific installation and user information for the ODL.
These OpenVMS CD-ROMs are ISO 9660 Level 2 (ODL-ISO) compliant
CD-ROMs that can be run from Microsoft Windows and OpenVMS platforms.
These discs contain documentation in HTML and PDF format, and use
HTML pages as the navigation mechanism to browse to and display
documents. A search engine is also included for full text searching
(Windows platforms only).
The Operating Environment ODL CD-ROM supports both the OpenVMS
Integrity Servers and OpenVMS Alpha platforms and contains
documentation common to both platforms. Operating System and key
layered products have been selected for inclusion. For OpenVMS
Integrity Servers, most of the Operating Environment components
are included. Platform-specific products are identified as I64
or Alpha.
Layered Products not included on the Operating Environments ODL
CD-ROM are delivered on the Layered Products ODL CD-ROM that is
specific to the Integrity (I64) platform.
System Requirements
* OpenVMS on Integrity, Version 8.2 or later
* Windows 98 SE, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP
* Web Browser
* Adobe Acrobat Reader
* Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), 1.3 or later (Windows platforms)
Mounting an ODL-ISO CD-ROM:
Windows Platforms:
* Insert the ODL-ISO disc into your CD-ROM drive
OpenVMS Platforms:
* $ MOUNT/OVER=ID/MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM/UNDEFINED_FAT=(STREAM:2048)
DEVICE:
Browsing an ODL-ISO
To begin browsing an ODL-ISO CD-ROM, open index.htm from the root
of the CD-ROM in your web browser.
For a listing of products available on this CD-ROM, open PRODLIST.HTM
from the /ODLDOC folder on the CD-ROM or click on the link from
CONTENTS.HTM.
Searching ODL-ISO (Windows platforms only)
The main ODL page should display and the ASTAware SearchDisc search
engine should launch when the disc is inserted into the drive. If
it does not, run the SDWinjava.bat file from the root of the CD-ROM.
The ASTAware SearchDisc icon should appear in your taskbar when the
search engine is running.
You can enter a search query in the search box from any ODL
navigation page on the CD-ROM.
**IMPORTANT** You must shut down the search engine by clicking the
SearchDisc icon in your taskbar, before you eject the CD-ROM from
your drive. This should also be done before putting in another
CD-ROM to search.
Configuring ODL-ISO Search for a Hard Drive (Windows Platforms Only)
If you choose to copy the ODL-ISO CD-ROM content to a hard drive on a
Windows platform, you will need to reconfigure the search engine to
retrieve search results from the new location.
* Copy the entire CD-ROM to an area on a hard drive. For example,
C:\ODL
* Run MediaSwitcher.exe from the area you copied the CD-ROM to.
This will reconfigure the search engine to search and retrieve
search results from the new ODL-ISO location. This executable
is located at the root of the CD-ROM.
Note: Be sure that the search engine is shut down before
proceeding. To shut the search engine down, click on the
SearchDisc icon in your taskbar, and click yes when asked
if you would like to shut down the search engine.
* Enter the path where you copied your ODL CD-ROM to in the "Select
the SearchDisc Installation Folder" box. For example, if you
copied the CD-ROM to your C: drive in a folder named ODL, enter
C:\ODL here. Click Next.
* Enter the path again where you copied your ODL CD-ROM to in the
"Select the Search Documents Folder" box. Click Install.
* Restart the search engine by starting autolaunch.exe from the new
location.
Known Issue: The installer used for the Media Switch Utility,
described above, is not currently supported for all
language settings. If your language is not supported,
you will receive an error stating, "Installer User
Interface Mode Not Supported," when attempting to run
MediaSwitcher.exe from the root of the ODL collection
on your hard drive.
You can use either of the following workarounds to address this:
Create a network drive of the directory where the ODL CD-ROM was
copied to, making it appear as a virtual drive. From there, open
autolaunch.exe.
Temporarily change your regional settings on your computer to US
English, run the MediaSwitcher.exe, then change the settings back
to your original settings.
