First download the zipped save file containing the PTF exit programs from this link
Next, restore the PTF exit programs to your system using one of the procedures described below.
This method uses FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) to transfer the save file from your PC to your iSeries. It is assumed
that you have stored the zip file which your downloaded from the link above on
your PC and that you have enabled an FTP link between your PC and your iSeries.
Step
1
On
your PC, choose an existing directory to use, or create a
new directory, either within Windows Explorer, or from the DOS prompt, e.g.:
md c:\tempdir
Save or copy the zip file that you
downloaded from the link above into this directory.
Step
2
On
your PC, unzip the
Step
3
On
your iSeries,
create a save file into which you will copy the
crtsavf lib_name/PTFExitPgm
where lib_name is the name of an existing library on your iSeries.
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 PTFExitPgm.sav PTFExitPgm
This command transmits the contents
of the file PTFExitPgm.sav, which was earlier unzipped from PTFExitPgm.zip, and
stores them in the save file called PTFExitPgm which you created earlier on your iSeries.
Step
5
On your iSeries, ensure that the previous step worked by displaying the contents of save file PTFExitPgm.
dspsavf lib_name/PGMExitPgm
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 PTF exit programs to your system:
RSTOBJ
OBJ(*ALL)
SAVLIB(COOLSPV5R1)
DEV(*SAVF)
SAVF(lib_name/PTFExitPgm)
where lib_name is the name of the library in which your created the save file in Step 3.
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 network drive assigned to the IFS of your iSeries to transfer the
save file containing the exit programs from your
PC to your iSeries. It is assumed that you have stored the zip file which you
downloaded from the link above on your PC.
Step
1
On
your PC, choose an existing directory to use, or create a
new directory, either within Windows Explorer, or from the DOS prompt, e.g.:
md c:\tempdir
Save or copy the zip file that you
downloaded from the link above into this directory.
Step
2
On
your PC, unzip the
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 save file. 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 file called
PTFExitPgm.sav that you unzipped earlier into this IFS directory
using Windows Explorer, or from the DOS prompt as follows:
copy c:\tempdir\PTFExitPgm.sav i:\IFS_dir
where tempdir 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,
create a save file into which you will copy the
crtsavf lib_name/PTFExitPgm
where lib_name is the name of an existing library on your iSeries.
Step
6
On
your iSeries, copy the contents of the
PTFExitPgm.sav file from
the IFS directory to the save file just created, by issuing the following
command:
cpyfrmstmf fromstmf(‘/IFS_dir/PTFExitPgm.sav’)
tombr(‘/qsys.lib/lib_name.lib/PTFExitPgm.file’)
mbropt(*replace)
cvtdta(*none)
endlinfmt(*fixed)
tabexpn(*no)
where IFS_dir is the name of the IFS directory into which you copied the
PTF 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.
Step
7
On your iSeries, ensure that the previous step worked by displaying the contents of save file PTFExitPgm
dspsavf lib_name/
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 PTF exit programs to your system:
RSTOBJ
OBJ(*ALL)
SAVLIB(COOLSPV5R1)
DEV(*SAVF)
SAVF(lib_name/PTFExitPgm)
where lib_name is the name of the library in which your created the save file in Step 3.
