Getting Started HP OpenVMS Online Documentation Library (ODL) for HP OpenVMS Alpha and HP OpenVMS VAX AV-RUFYN-TE Overview This document provides introductory information about the Online Documentation Library (ODL) CD-ROM collections: HP OpenVMS Alpha and VAX Layered Products, plus the HP OpenVMS V8.3 Integrity/Alpha Servers Operating Environment Products. It provides general and platform-specific installation and user information for the ODL. The OpenVMS ODL CD-ROM sets consist of ISO 9660 Level 2 (ODL-ISO) compliant CD-ROMs that can be run from Microsoft® Windows® and HP 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). OpenVMS Alpha The Operating Environment ODL CD-ROM supports both the OpenVMS Integrity and Alpha Servers 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". OpenVMS 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 Alpha platform. OpenVMS VAX The OpenVMS VAX ODL CD-ROM contains Operating System and Layered Products documentation. Bookreader CD-ROM Sets The OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX Bookreader CD-ROM sets (ODL-BKB), which are the archive sets containing documentation in Bookreader format only, are now available online as a downloadable image at the following location, along with Getting Started instructions - http://www1.nashuagsc.com/odl/bkb/bookreader.shtml System Requirements ODL-ISO CD-ROM * OpenVMS Version 6.1 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 platform) Mounting the ODL-ISO CD-ROM Windows Platforms: * Insert the ODL-ISO disc into your CD-ROM drive.

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. This page also includes a listing of static documenta- tion available on the OpenVMS Alpha or OpenVMS VAX Bookreader CD-ROM for reference. 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. If it does not, run the SDWinjava.bat file from the root of the CD-ROM. The 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 naviga- tion 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) Note: See known issue below if your language settings are not set to US English. If you choose to copy the ODL-ISO CD-ROM content to a hard drive, 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 * 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. * 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. * 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.
