Installing CoolSpools V5
CoolSpools Version 5 has now been superseded by CoolSpools Spool Converter
The procedure described here relates to the earlier CoolSpools V5 and describes how to install that version.
This method uses FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to transfer the install file from your PC to your system i. It is assumed that you have stored the zip file which your downloaded from the Internet on your PC and that you have enabled an FTP link between your PC and your system i.
Commands to be run on the system i are shown in
blue
and those to be run on the PC in
green
On your PC, create a directory for the installation, e.g.:
md c:\cvtspl
Save or copy the zip file that you downloaded or received into this directory.
On your PC, unzip the contents of the zip file into the directory you just created using pkunzip, WinZip, Norton UnZip etc.
On your system i, first sign off then sign back on again to ensure that you do to have any CoolSpools objects in your QTEMP library. Then decide which library you wish to use for the install procedure and create a save file in that library. We suggest that you call this save file CVTSPLV5R1, e.g.
crtsavf lib_name/CVTSPLV5R1
where:
lib_name
is the name of the library you chose to use.
On your PC, start an FTP session to your system i. You may use FTP packages such as CuteFTP or simply go to the DOS prompt and type:
ftp system_i_name
where:
system_i_name
is the name of your system i.
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 system i.
quote site na 0
This makes sure the system i 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 system i.
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 CVTSPLV5R1
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 CVTSPLV5R1 which you created earlier on your system i.
On your system i, ensure that the previous step worked by displaying the contents of save file CVTSPLV5R1:
dspsavf lib_name/CVTSPLV5R1
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 ariadne support.
On your system i, issue the following command to restore the CoolSpools V5 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/CVTSPLV5R1)
