CoolSpools
If you downloaded CoolSpools from the Internet, or received the product via e-mail, you will have received a zip file called CVTSPLV5R1.ZIP (if you have a file called CVTSPL.ZIP you probably have the install file for an older version of CoolSpools, but you can still follow the procedures described below). This zip file contains everything you need to get started with CoolSpools.
If you are looking for PTF installation instructions, you need to follow a different procedure.
This section describes two possible procedures for installing CoolSpools on your iSeries, one using FTP and one using the IFS and a network drive.
Steps to be carried out on the PC are shown in green, steps to be carried out on the iSeries in blue.
This method uses FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to transfer the CoolSpools product files from your PC to your iSeries. It is assumed that you have stored the CVTSPLV5R1.ZIP file which your downloaded from the Internet or received via e-mail on your PC and that you have enabled an FTP link between your PC and your iSeries.
Step 1
On your PC, create an install directory for CoolSpools, either within Windows Explorer, or from the DOS prompt, e.g.:
md c:\cvtspl
Save or copy the zip file that you downloaded or received into this directory.
Step 2
On your PC, unzip the contents of the zip file into the directory you just created using pkunzip, WinZip, Norton UnZip etc.
Step 3
On your iSeries, decide which library you wish to use for the install procedure and create a save file in that library, e.g.
crtsavf lib_name/cvtspl
where lib_name is the name of the library you chose to use.
Step 4
On your PC, start an FTP session to your iSeries. You may use FTP packages such as CuteFTP or simply go to the DOS prompt and type:
ftp AS400_name
where AS400_name is the name of your iSeries.
You will be prompted to enter your user id and password. Please ensure that you sign on with a user id that has adequate authority. We recommend that you sign on as the Security Officer QSECOFR.
Issue the following FTP commands within the FTP session:
binary
This command instructs FTP not to carry out any conversion on the data to be sent to the iSeries.
quote site na 0
This makes sure the iSeries is using naming format 0 (library naming). This is important if your FTP attributes (CHGFTPA command NAMEFMT parameter) have the initial naming format set to *PATH (IFS path naming) rather than *LIB (library/file.member naming).
cd lib_name
where lib_name is the name of the library in which your created the save file in Step 3. This command makes lib_name your current library on the iSeries.
lcd dir_name
where dir_name is the name of the directory on your PC in which you unzipped the install files earlier. This command makes dir_name your current directory on the PC.
put CVTSPLV5R1.SAV cvtspl
This command transmits the contents of the file CVTSPLV5R1.SAV, which was earlier unzipped from CVTSPLV5R1.ZIP, and stores them in the save file called cvtspl which you created earlier on your iSeries.
(If you have a file called cvtspl.sav rather than CVTSPLV5R1.SAV, you probably have the install file for an older version of CoolSpools, but you can still follow the procedures described below).
Step 5
On your iSeries, ensure that the previous step worked by displaying the contents of save file cvtspl:
dspsavf lib_name/cvtspl
If you see the message (No records in save file) then something has gone wrong during the preceding steps. Try following them again. If you still cannot get this procedure to work, contact us at support@ariadnesoftware.co.uk.
Step 6
On your iSeries, issue the following command to restore the CoolSpools licensed program to your system:
rstlicpgm licpgm(5CVTSPL)
dev(*savf)
option(*base)
rstobj(*all)
lng(*primary)
output(*none)
rls(*first)
replacerls(*only)
savf(lib_name/cvtspl)
where lib_name is the name of the library in which your created the save file in Step 3.
Step 7
If you have downloaded CoolSpools from the Internet, you can use the
product without a license key for up to 30 days. At the end of that period CoolSpools will notify you that it can no longer be used without a license key.To obtain a license key contact ariadne at sales@ariadnesoftware.co.uk.
If you have been issued with a license key, proceed as follows.
On your iSeries, issue the following command to add a license key to enable you to use the CoolSpools licensed program:
addlickey lickeyinp(*prompt)
prdid(5CVTSPL)
licterm(V5R1)
feature(5001)
serial(*local)
prcgrp(Ppp)
lickey(XXXXXX YYYYYY ZZZZZZ)
usglmt(*nomax)
expdate(exp_date)
vnddta(*none)
where:
XXXXXX YYYYYY ZZZZZZ is the license key you received by e-mail from us
exp_date is the expiry date mentioned in the e-mail
Ppp is the processor group mentioned in the e-mail
CoolSpools is now ready for you to use! The best way to get started with CoolSpools is to display the CoolSpools menu by doing:
GO CVTSPLV5R1/COOLSPOOLS
If you have any trouble at any point in this procedure, please contact us by e-mail at support@ariadnesoftware.co.uk.
This method uses a Client Access network drive assigned to the IFS of your iSeries to transfer the CoolSpools product files from your PC to your iSeries. It is assumed that you have stored the CVTSPLV5R1.ZIP file (which your downloaded from the Internet or received via e-mail) on your PC. If you have a file called cvtspl.zip you probably have the install file for an older version of CoolSpools, but you can still follow the procedures described below.
Step 1
On your PC, create an install directory for CoolSpools, either within Windows Explorer, or from the DOS prompt, e.g.:
md c:\PC_dir
where PC_dir is the name of the directory you wish to use for this installation.
Save or move the zip file that you downloaded or received into this directory.
Step 2
On your PC, unzip the contents of the zip file into the directory you just created using pkunzip, WinZip, Norton UnZip etc.
Step 3
On your PC, ensure that you have a network drive assigned to a directory in the root file system of your iSeries’s IFS. This can be done in Windows Explorer by selecting Tools, Map Network Drive.
Create a directory in the IFS to receive the CoolSpools files. This can be done in Windows Explorer by selecting File, New, Folder, or at the DOS prompt as follows:
md i:\IFS_dir
where I: is the network drive assigned to your iSeries and IFS_dir is the name of the directory you wish to use for this installation.
Step 4
Copy the contents of your PC’s install directory created in Step 1 above to the IFS directory created in Step 3 above using Windows Explorer, or from the DOS prompt as follows:
copy c:\PC_dir\*.* I:\IFS_dir
where PC_dir is the name of the directory on your PC, I: is the network drive assigned to your iSeries and IFS_dir is the name of the directory you wish to use for this installation.
Step 5
On your iSeries, decide which library you wish to use for the install procedure and create a save file in that library, e.g.
crtsavf lib_name/cvtspl
where lib_name is the name of the library you chose to use.
Step 6
On your iSeries, copy the contents of the CVTSPLV5R1.SAV file from the IFS directory to the save file just created, by issuing the following command:
cpyfrmstmf fromstmf(‘/IFS_dir/CVTSPLV5R1.SAV’)
tombr(‘/qsys.lib/lib_name.lib/cvtspl.file’)
mbropt(*replace)
cvtdta(*none)
endlinfmt(*fixed)
tabexpn(*no)
where IFS_dir is the name of the IFS directory into which you copied the install files in Step 4 above, and lib_name is the name of the library in which you created the save file in Step 5 above.
(If you have a file called cvtspl.sav rather than CVTSPLV5R1.SAV, you probably have the install file for an older version of CoolSpools, but you can still follow the procedures described below).
Step 7
On your iSeries, ensure that the previous step worked by displaying the contents of save file cvtspl:
dspsavf lib_name/cvtspl
where lib_name is the name of the library in which your created the save file in Step 5.
If you see the message (No records in save file) then something has gone wrong during the preceding steps. Try following them again. If you still cannot get this procedure to work, contact us at support@ariadnesoftware.co.uk.
Step 8
On your iSeries, issue the following command to restore the CoolSpools licensed program to your system:
rstlicpgm licpgm(5CVTSPL)
dev(*savf)
option(*base)
rstobj(*all)
lng(*primary)
output(*none)
rls(*first)
replacerls(*only)
savf(lib_name/cvtspl)
where lib_name is the name of the library in which your created the save file in Step 5.
Step 9
