Before Installing TP Desktop Connector
from the Software Products Library CD
This chapter discusses the preparations and requirements necessary for installing Compaq TP Desktop Connector and Compaq TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS software on an OpenVMS system from the Software Products Library CD and also provides a general overview of the installation process.
If you have the TPware Product Suite CD, see Part II for client installation information or Part III for TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS software installation information.
TP Desktop Connector software includes online Release Notes and gives you the option of printing or displaying them during the installation procedure. Compaq strongly recommends that you read the Release Notes before proceeding with the installation, in case they contain important information regarding the installation procedure.
1.1 Overview of the Software Products Library Installation
1
The Compaq TP Desktop Connector software is delivered in two distinct product savesets, one for the gateway software that runs on the OpenVMS platform and one for all types of desktop clients:
The gateway saveset (ACMSDIA031.*)
Delivers the software required on an OpenVMS system to enable access to Compaq ACMS from the desktop systems. Also includes server-side sample applications.
You install the gateway software with a regular VMSINSTAL command.
The client saveset (TPW032.A)
Delivers the software required for application development in a multiplatform, networked, desktop systems environment. Also includes sample client applications.
Before Installing TP Desktop Connector from the Software Products Library CD 1–1
Page 18
You install the client software by starting with a VMSINSTAL command on an OpenVMS system. This places on the OpenVMS system the client software in the form of self-extracting archive files. The next steps depend on your target desktop platform.
The use of the Software Products Library CD and VMSINSTAL is described in Chapter 2.
The procedure for installing the client software and the accompanying sample client application files consists of the following general steps (described in Chapter 3):
1. Transfer from your OpenVMS system to your target desktop system a file or files created when you run VMSINSTAL. You use a file transfer program such as FTP.
If your target desktop is an OpenVMS system, all the files are in place in a public systemwide directory (see Section 3.2).
2. On the target desktop system, expand the file that you transferred from the OpenVMS system.
If your target desktop is a Windows system, expand the self-extracting
archive file as explained in Section 3.2.2.1.
If your target desktop is a Tru64 UNIX system, expand the self-
extracting archive file as explained in Section 3.2.2.2.
After you deploy the files on the target desktop system, the procedures to continue the installation and perform setup operations are the same as those for the TPware Product Suite CD medium. The documentation provides pointers to the relevant procedures in Part II.
3. Run the sample application to verify that the installation functions properly.
The following sections discuss the requirements necessary before installing the Compaq TP Desktop Connector software.
1.2 Software and Hardware Prerequisites
The Compaq TP Desktop Connector Software Product Description (SPD), included in the product kit, contains complete information on software products, networks, and systems required for installing and using TP Desktop Connector client and gateway software.

After Installing from the Software Products
Library CD
This chapter describes the procedures, on both the OpenVMS system where the gateway kit was installed and on your target desktop system, that are required for server-side and client-side applications to run and communicate.
3.1 After Installing the Gateway Software
Post-installation tasks for TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS software are the same whether you install from the Software Products Library CD or the TPware Product Suite CD (see Chapter 10).
For TP Desktop Connector on the Software Products Library, the server-side sample application is part of the client software, not the gateway software. The client services files for OpenVMS are laid down when you use VMSINSTAL on the TPW032 savesets. See Section 3.3 for information on the server-side Avertz sample application.
3.2 After Installing TP Desktop Connector Client Software
After installing the client software from the Software Products Library CD, all the files needed for the OpenVMS client and its sample applications are in place. If you are developing an OpenVMS client application, you should edit a startup file as shown in Section 3.2.1.
If you are developing a client application for a non-OpenVMS desktop platform, you should follow the instructions in Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.
After Installing from the Software Products Library CD 3–1
Page 26
3.2.1 Editing Startup Files
If TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS is already installed on the same system, edit the gateway startup file, SYS$STARTUP:ACMSDI$STARTUP.COM. Remove the comment character (!) from the following logical name definitions for the client directories:
$! The next three logical name definitions pertain to TP Desktop Connector $! client libraries and Motif samples and should be defined only after installing $! clients on the same system where the Gateway is installed. $! $! define/system acmsdi$vms sys$common:[acmsdi.vms_clients] $! define/system acmsdi$nonvms_clients sys$common:[acmsdi.nonvms_clients] $! define/system acmsdi$examples_avertz_motif ­$! sys$common:[syshlp.examples.acmsdi.avertz.motif]
If the gateway is on a different system, add the following logical name definitions to your system startup file:
$ define/system acmsdi$vms sys$common:[acmsdi.vms_clients] $ define/system acmsdi$nonvms_clients sys$common:[acmsdi.nonvms_clients] $ define/system acmsdi$examples_avertz_motif -
sys$common:[syshlp.examples.acmsdi.avertz.motif]
3.2.2 After Installing Non–VMS Clients
In addition to OpenVMS client libraries, the client installation loads the self­extracting archive files on your OpenVMS system (see Table 3–1). (The logical name ACMSDI$NONVMS_CLIENTS is defined as described in Section 3.2.1.)
Table 3–1 Contents of ACMSDI$NONVMS_CLIENTS

INTEL32.EXE

Formerly known as the ACMS Desktop ‘‘portable API’’ services.
TP Desktop Connector client services1and samples for Tru64 UNIX systems
Runtime and development software for the entire TPware product suite on platforms running Windows systems.
After installing the TP Desktop Connector client software on an OpenVMS system, transfer the appropriate archive file to your desktop system and execute it (see Sections 3.2.2.1 through 3.2.2.2). After you expand the appropriate archive, the resulting files can then be used.
3–2 After Installing from the Software Products Library CD
Page 27
3.2.2.1 Transferring Client Files to a Windows System
To place the client files on a Windows system, transfer the appropriate archive file from the ACMSDI$NONVMS_CLIENTS directory on the OpenVMS system. For example:
1. Use a network file transfer utility such as FTP to copy from the OpenVMS system the INTEL32.EXE file (see Table 3–1). For example:
a. On the client system, create a subdirectory to store the software:
> mkdir c:\tpw032
b. Change directory to the newly created subdirectory:
> cd c:\tpw032
c. Connect to the OpenVMS system that contains the archive file:
> ftp nodename
. . .
login to host
. . .
FTP>
The value of nodename is the name of the OpenVMS system on which the archive is installed. At the FTP prompts, supply the OpenVMS user name and password. If you successfully log on to the OpenVMS system, type commands at the FTP prompt to copy the archive file from the OpenVMS directory to the client system and close the FTP utility. For example:
FTP> binary FTP> cd ACMSDI$NONVMS_CLIENTS: FTP> get intel32.exe FTP> quit

b. Change to the new directory.
> cd tpw032dir
c. Connect to the OpenVMS system that contains the archive file.
> ftp nodename
login to host
ftp>
The value of nodename is the name of the OpenVMS system on which the archive is installed. At the FTP prompts, supply the OpenVMS user name and password. If you successfully log on, type commands at the FTP prompt to copy the archive file and close the FTP utility. For example:

Page 29
3.2.3 Installing the Client Services Interface on OpenVMS Systems
The client services library is preconfigured for DECnet network access. To build applications that use TCP/IP as a transport, you must reconfigure the library before creating executable programs.
The following steps are necessary to set up the client services library for TCP/IP access:
1. Copy the library and related files to your home directory with the following
command:
$ copy/log ACMSDI$VMS:*.* []
2. Remove the DECnet object from the library with the following command:
$ library/delete = net_decnet acmsdi$client_objlib.olb
Insert the TCP/IP transport access module into the library with the following command:
$ library/insert acmsdi$client_objlib.olb net_tcpip.obj
After these steps, you are ready to build TP Desktop Connector applications that use TCP/IP as a transport. Table A–1 shows the files that are added to your desktop system during the installation of the TP Desktop Connector client services for OpenVMS.
3.2.4 Verifying the Motif Client Sample on OpenVMS
Copy, compile, link, and run the source code for the sample client program to verify your capability to build applications.
To build the sample application, follow these steps:
1. Copy the client sample files to your home directory using the following
command:
$ copy/log ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ_MOTIF:*.* []
Table A–2 lists the files that are added to your desktop system.
2. If you have MMS, use the MMS makefile provided to build the m_avertz
sample application. In the sample directory, run MMS using the following command:
$ MMS/DESC=M_AVERTZ
After Installing from the Software Products Library CD 3–5
Page 30
If you download TP Desktop Connector libraries to a different location, edit the makefile to indicate the new location of the libraries.
Note
On OpenVMS Alpha systems, the makefile expects the logical ACMSDI$VMS_ALPHA to point to the directory that contains the TP Desktop Connector client library. In addition, on OpenVMS Alpha systems, the first time that the makefile tries to create the DECwindows library, the makefile fails. When this happens, rerun MMS to continue the build.
If you do not have MMS, use the makefile as a guide to build the application yourself.
3. Run the application by entering the following command:
> run m_avertz/nodebug
The m_avertz application displays the menu bar of the AVERTZ Car Reservation System. If you want the sample desktop client program to communicate with the ACMS application, follow the procedures in Section 7.2.4 to set up the sample application on the ACMS system. After you set up the ACMS system, use the Session menu to sign in to the ACMS system. After you sign in, you can use the Rental menu to run the reserve task of the AVERTZ application.
The installation procedure is now complete and verified.
3.3 Setting Up the Avertz ACMS Sample Application on an OpenVMS System
The command procedure VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM sets up the sample application. You need SYSPRV privilege to run the procedure. Refer to the file ACMSDI$VR_APPLICATION_INFO.TXT in the ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_ AVERTZ directory for more information on setting up the sample.
To prepare the AVERTZ sample application on the Compaq OpenVMS system, do the following:
1. Run the command procedure to set up the application:
3–6 After Installing from the Software Products Library CD
Page 31
$ @ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ:VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP
. . .
$
2. Start the ACMS system (if necessary) and the application:
$ ACMS/START SYSTEM $ ACMS/START APPLICATION VR_DA_APPL
3. Perform other management tasks related to your system, for example, authorizing user accounts. Refer to the management information in Compaq TP Desktop Connector for ACMS Client Application Programming Guide.
The following sections provide additional information about using the Avertz sample application on the ACMS OpenVMS system.
3.3.1 Using the Avertz ACMS Sample with Rdb Version 6.0 with Multiversion
When you execute the VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM file to set up the sample application, this command file invokes two option files, VR_ READ_SERVER.OPT and VR_UPDATE_SERVER.OPT, which refer to the SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USER library. On a system with Rdb Version 6.0 with multiversion installed, the SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USER file is not available. Instead, the version number is appended to the file name, for instance, SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USER60.
To work around this naming mismatch problem, you can define the logical name SQL$USER to reference the appropriate library file. For example:
$ DEFINE SQL$USER SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USER60
Modify the linker options files:
ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ:VR_READ_SERVER.OPT ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ:VR_UPDATE_SERVER.OPT
Replace the line
SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USERnn.OLB/LIBRARY
with the following:
SYS$USER/LIBRARY
After Installing from the Software Products Library CD 3–7
Page 32
3.3.2 User Name Quotas for the Avertz ACMS Sample
The VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM command file assigns quotas for the AVERTZ_EXC, AVERTZ_UPD, and AVERTZ_READ user names that are adequate for running the VR_DA_APPL sample application. If your system already has these user names defined, the quotas for these user names might be inadequate for VR_DA_APPL. If you are using the AVERTZ sample application, delete the AVERTZ_EXC, AVERTZ_UPD, and AVERTZ_READ user names before running VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM to ensure that you get appropriate quotas for these user names.
To ensure the success of the operations in the VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM command procedure, run it from the system account.
3.3.3 Access Control List for the Avertz ACMS Sample
The VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM procedure adds the AVERTZ application name VR_DA_APPL to the ACMS database. The command line to do so includes the ACL qualifier and assigns the ID as /ID=SYSTEM. This might fail on your system.
To ensure that the VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM procedure works, change the ID=SYSTEM to ID=[UIC], where UIC is that of the account SYSTEM; for example, ID=[1,4].
3.3.4 Rebuilding the Avertz ACMS Sample
Executables are provided for the sample. You do not need to rebuild the sample to run it. However, a DEC/MMS description file is provided for rebuilding the sample to incorporate any changes you make to the sample.
To modify and rebuild the sample, follow these steps:
1. Copy the sample sources to another directory.
2. Use the command procedure VR_DA_BLD_MMS.COM to rebuild the sample under a different ADB name in that directory:
a. Create the CDD directories for the AVERTZ components. b. Define logical names.
If you are using a directory other than ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ for rebuilding the sample, edit the logical name definitions in the VR_ DA_BLD_LOGICALS.COM command procedure to point to your file and CDD directories. Make these edits before running the BLD portion of the VR_DA_BLD_MMS.COM command procedure.
c. Perform other setup and build activities.

3. The TP Desktop Connector library is preconfigured for DECnet network access. To build applications that use TCP/IP as a transport, you must reconfigure the library before creating executable programs.
The following steps are necessary to set up the TP Desktop Connector library for TCP/IP access:
a. Remove the DECnet object from the library with the following
command:
$ library/delete = net_decnet acmsdi$client_objlib.olb
Insert the TCP/IP transport access module into the library with the following command:
$ library/insert acmsdi$client_objlib.olb net_tcpip.obj
After these steps, you are ready to build TP Desktop Connector applications that use TCP/IP as a transport. Table A–1 shows the files that are added to your desktop system during the installation of the TP Desktop Connector client services for OpenVMS.
Follow the applicable steps in Sections 7.2.2 and 7.2.4.
7.2.2 Installing the Motif Sample Client for OpenVMS
To install the Motif sample files on the OpenVMS desktop system, perform the following steps:
1. Create a directory on the desktop system to contain the sample files and move to that directory:
$ create/dir [.motif_avertz] $ set def [.motif_avertz]
2. Copy the Motif sample file. For OpenVMS VAX systems:
$ copy cd:[vmsvax.samples]vms_avertz.exe []
For OpenVMS Alpha systems:
$ copy cd:[vmsalpha.samples]vms_avertz.exe []
3. Decompress the executable and restore the saveset:

. . .
$ backup/restore vms_avertz.sav/save *.*/log
4. Copy the Motif resource file to your home directory:
$ copy m_avertz.dat sys$login:m_avertz.dat
Table A–2 lists the files that are added to your desktop system.
7.2.3 Verifying the Motif Sample Installation on OpenVMS
Compile, link, and run the source code for the sample client program to verify your capability to build applications.
To build the sample application, follow these steps:
1. If you have MMS, use the MMS makefile provided to build the m_avertz
sample application. In the sample directory, run MMS using the following command:
$ MMS
If you download TP Desktop Connector libraries to a different location, edit the makefile to indicate the new location of the libraries.
Note
On OpenVMS Alpha systems, the makefile expects the logical ACMSDI$VMS_ALPHA to point to the directory that contains the TP Desktop Connector client library. In addition, on OpenVMS Alpha systems, the first time that the makefile tries to create the DECwindows library, the makefile fails. When this happens, rerun MMS to continue the build.
If you do not have MMS, use the makefile as a guide to build the application yourself.
2. Run the application by entering the following command:
> run m_avertz/nodebug
Installing the TP Desktop Connector Client Services on Non-Windows Systems 7–5

The command procedure VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM sets up the sample application. You need SYSPRV privilege to run the procedure. See the file ACMSDI$VR_APPLICATION_INFO.TXT in the ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_ AVERTZ directory for more information on setting up the sample.
To prepare the AVERTZ sample application on a Compaq OpenVMS system, do the following:
1. Run the command procedure to set up the application:
$ @ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ:VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP
. . .
$
2. Start the ACMS system (if necessary) and the application:
$ ACMS/START SYSTEM $ ACMS/START APPLICATION VR_DA_APPL
3. Perform other management tasks related to your system, for example, authorizing user accounts. Refer to the management information in Compaq TP Desktop Connector for ACMS Client Application Programming Guide.
The following sections provide additional information about using the Avertz sample application on the ACMS OpenVMS system.

Page 53
7.2.4.1 Using the Avertz ACMS Sample with Rdb Version 6.0 with Multi-Version
When you execute the VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM file to set up the sample application, this command file invokes two option files, VR_ READ_SERVER.OPT and VR_UPDATE_SERVER.OPT, which reference the SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USER library. On a system with Rdb Version 6.0 with multi-version installed, the SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USER file is not available. Instead, the version number is appended to the file name, for instance, SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USER60.
To work around this naming mismatch problem, you can define the logical name SQL$USER to reference the appropriate library file. For example:
$ DEFINE SQL$USER SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USER60
Modify the linker options files:
ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ:VR_READ_SERVER.OPT ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ:VR_UPDATE_SERVER.OPT
Replace the line
SYS$LIBRARY:SQL$USERnn.OLB/LIBRARY
with the following:
SYS$USER/LIBRARY
7.2.4.2 User Name Quotas for the Avertz ACMS Sample
The VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM command file assigns quotas for the AVERTZ_EXC, AVERTZ_UPD, and AVERTZ_READ user names that are adequate for running the VR_DA_APPL sample application. If your system already has these user names defined, the quotas for these user names might be inadequate for VR_DA_APPL. If you are using the AVERTZ sample application, delete AVERTZ_EXC, AVERTZ_UPD, and AVERTZ_READ user names before running VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM to ensure that you get appropriate quotas for these user names.
To ensure the success of the operations in the VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM command procedure, run it from the system account.
7.2.4.3 Access Control List for the Avertz ACMS Sample
The VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM procedure adds the AVERTZ application name VR_DA_APPL to the ACMS database. The command line to do so includes the ACL qualifier and assigns the ID as /ID=SYSTEM. This might fail on your system.
Installing the TP Desktop Connector Client Services on Non-Windows Systems 7–7
Page 54
To ensure that the VR_DA_RUNTIME_SETUP.COM procedure works, change the ID=SYSTEM to ID=[UIC], where UIC is that of the account SYSTEM; for example, ID=[1,4].
7.2.4.4 Rebuilding the Avertz ACMS Sample
Executables are provided for the sample. You do not need to rebuild the sample to run it. However, a DEC/MMS description file is provided for rebuilding the sample to incorporate any changes you make to the sample.
To modify and rebuild the sample, follow these steps:
1. Copy the sample sources to another directory.
2. Use the command procedure VR_DA_BLD_MMS.COM to rebuild the sample under a different ADB name in that directory:
a. Create the CDD directories for the AVERTZ components. b. Define logical names.
If you are using a directory other than ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ for rebuilding the sample, edit the logical name definitions in the VR_ DA_BLD_LOGICALS.COM command procedure to point to your file and CDD directories. Make these edits before running the BLD portion of the VR_DA_BLD_MMS.COM command procedure.
c. Perform other setup and build activities.
3. Run the command procedure VR_DA_BLD_MMS.COM without parameters:
$ @ACMSDI$EXAMPLES:VR_DA_BLD_MMS
All the setup and build activities are performed.
To perform a specific activity, specify one of the parameters in Table 7–1.

Preparing to Install TP Desktop Connector
Gateway for ACMS Software
This chapter discusses the preparations and requirements necessary for installing Compaq TP Desktop Connector gateway for ACMS software. Your bill of materials (BOM) specifies the number and contents of your media. Be sure to verify the contents of your kit with this information. If your kit is damaged or incomplete, contact your Compaq representative.
The gateway software includes online Release Notes and gives you the option of printing or displaying them during the installation procedure. Compaq strongly recommends that you read the Release Notes before proceeding with the installation, in case they contain important information regarding the installation procedure.
8.1 Required Operating System Components
See the Compaq TP Desktop Connector Software Product Description (SPD) for a complete list of required operating systems for the Compaq TP Desktop Connector gateway for ACMS.
8.2 Prerequisite Software
The Software Product Description (SPD), a copy of which is included in the product kit, contains a list of the prerequisite software, and a complete list of the products that are compatible with this version of gateway software.
8.3 Installation Procedure Requirements
The installation procedure, VMSINSTAL, checks for various conditions on your system. If VMSINSTAL detects any problems during the installation, it notifies you of the problem and asks whether you want to continue the installation. In some instances, you can answer YES to continue. To stop the installation process and correct the situation, answer NO or press
Preparing to Install TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS Software 8–1
Return
.
Page 62
You can avoid having to stop and restart VMSINSTAL by following the directions in this section before you run VMSINSTAL. The time required for installing gateway software is approximately five minutes.
8.3.1 Disk Space
Installing gateway software requires a certain amount of free storage space during the installation. Table 8–1 summarizes the storage requirements for gateway software during and after installation.
Table 8–1 Disk Space Requirements
Gateway 23,304 6,500
To determine the number of free disk blocks on the current system disk, enter the following command at the DCL prompt:
$ SHOW DEVICE SYS$SYSDEVICE
Blocks During Installation
Blocks After Installation
In the output column under the heading blocks available on the device.
8.3.2 Privileges and Authorization
To install gateway software, you must be logged in to an account with the following privileges:
NETMBX SETPRV TMPMBX
The SYSTEM account has all the privileges you require for the installation. VMSINSTAL turns off the BYPASS privilege at the start of the installation
and sets whatever privileges it needs during the installation. At the end of the installation procedure, if the gateway system components
were installed, the gateway process on OpenVMS is started using the same user name that you use to install the product. Compaq recommends that you run the gateway under the user name SYSTEM or another user name with a [1,4] UIC.
Free Blocks
is the number of 512-byte
8–2 Preparing to Install TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS Software
Page 63
For the gateway process to be properly started, the user name under which the installation is done must be an authorized ACMS agent. Use the ACMSUDU Utility to authorize the user name. For example:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM $ RUN ACMSUDU UDU> ADD SYSTEM/AGENT UDU>
If the user name is not authorized as a ACMS agent, the IVP can fail and TP Desktop Connector client programs cannot sign in to the ACMS system. To allow client programs to successfully sign in to the ACMS system, stop the gateway, and restart it under a user name that is an authorized ACMS agent.
8.3.3 OpenVMS License Management Facility
The gateway supports the OpenVMS License Management Facility (LMF). To install gateway software on an OpenVMS system, you must register your software license.
LMF requires registration of a Product Authorization Key (PAK). The license registration information you need is contained in the PAK that is shipped with gateway software. The PAK is a paper certificate that contains information about the license you have to run a particular piece of software.
Register your gateway license before you perform the installation. During the installation, you are asked whether you have registered the gateway license and loaded the appropriate authorization key. You cannot run either the gateway software or its IVP unless your license is loaded. After you perform the license registration and load an authorization key, you can run the IVP and use the gateway software.
To register a license, first log in to the system manager account, SYSTEM. You then have a choice of two ways to register:
Run the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. When it prompts
you for information, respond with data from your PAK.
Issue the LICENSE REGISTER command with the appropriate qualifiers
that correspond to information on the PAK.
For complete information on using LMF, see OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.

Page 64
8.3.4 System Disk Backup
At the beginning of the installation, VMSINSTAL asks whether your system disk is backed up. Compaq recommends that you always do a system disk backup before installing new software on the operating system.
Use the backup procedures that are established at your site to do this backup. For details on performing a system disk backup, see the section on the Backup Utility in the OpenVMS documentation set.
8.3.5 Stopping the ACMS System and Gateway
If you have TPware components already installed and running, shut them down. While logged in to the system under an account having the appropriate privileges as described in Section 8.3.2, execute the following commands.
1. Stop the TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS process. For example:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:ACMSDI$SHUTDOWN $
2. If you have ACMS software already installed and running, shut it down. Execute the following commands.
a. Stop the ACMS system. For example:
$ ACMS/STOP SYSTEM
. . .
$
b. Stop the ACMS controller. For example:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:ACMSTOP
. . .
$
8.3.6 Locating the Saveset Directory
If you have not already inserted the compact disk (CD) media in the CD drive, do so now. To obtain the saveset for the gateway software from the CD-ROM, complete these steps:
1. To determine whether the CD-ROM drive is already mounted (MOUNT command), enter a command in the following format:
SHOW DEVICE device-name
8–4 Preparing to Install TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS Software

Page 68
9.1.2 Files and Logical Names Installed on Your System
The following files contain a list of the files added to your system by the gateway installation:
SYS$COMMON:[SYSTEST.ACMSDI]ACMSDI$FIRST_FILES.DAT SYS$COMMON:[SYSTEST.ACMSDI]ACMSDI$SAMPLE_ADD_FILES.DAT SYS$COMMON:[SYSTEST.ACMSDI]ACMSDI$SAMPLE_AVERTZ_FILES.DAT SYS$COMMON:[SYSTEST.ACMSDI]ACMSDI$SAMPLE_COMMON_FILES.DAT SYS$COMMON:[SYSTEST.ACMSDI]ACMSDI$SAMPLE_EMPLOYEE_FILES.DAT SYS$COMMON:[SYSTEST.ACMSDI]ACMSDI$SYSTEM_FILES.DAT
You can display or print these files after you install the gateway software. After the installation, if the gateway is started (by ACMSDI$STARTUP.COM),
the following logical names are added to your system:
ACMSDI$EXAMPLES ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_ACMS ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_ADD ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_AVERTZ ACMSDI$EXAMPLES_EMPLOYEE ACMSDI_AVERTZ_DEFAULT AVERTZ_TDB
These logical names are entered into the system logical name table. The names are used in various gateway startup files. Thus, they are automatically entered into the system logical name table whenever the gateway startup command file is executed.
9.1.3 Installation Verification Procedure
The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) for gateway software verifies the installation. During the installation, you are asked whether you want to run the IVP as part of the installation. If you answer YES, VMSINSTAL runs the IVP. It is recommended that you run the IVP to be sure that the software is installed correctly.
After you install the gateway software, you can run the IVP independently to verify that the software is available on your system. You might also want to run the IVP after a system failure to be sure that users can access gateway software. See Chapter 11 for information about running the IVP separately from the installation procedure.

9.3 Recovering from System and Installation Failures
An unsuccessful installation can result from a system failure (see Section 9.3.1) or errors encountered during the installation procedure (see Section 9.3.2).
9.3.1 System Failures
If you experience a system failure, such as a power loss during installation, VMSINSTAL attempts to continue the installation when you reboot the system. Depending on the point in the installation at which the system fails, one of three conditions exists:
The system disk did not undergo any changes before the system failure. VMSINSTAL instructs you to restart the installation.
9–8 Installing TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS Software
Page 75
The system disk used by the installation was corrupted. VMSINSTAL
instructs you to restore the system disk from the backup copy and restart the installation.
VMSINSTAL continues the installation and can tell you to manually
purge replaced files, even if you request that they be purged automatically. You can purge files, but remember that purging deletes all but the latest version of all files on your system disk. If you have multiple versions of system files to save, you can delete just the gateway files you want to remove from system directories.
To purge files, perform the following steps:
1. Reboot the system.
2. Log in to the SYSTEM account.
3. Purge all system files using the following command:
$ PURGE/LOG SYS$SYSROOT:[*...]*.*
. . .
After you perform this task, the installation is complete.
After you see the message that indicates the beginning of the IVP, the installation of the component software is complete. If the system fails subsequently, VMSINSTAL displays the following message when you reboot.
%VMSINSTAL-I-RECOVER, TP Desktop Gateway for ACMS was being installed when the system crashed.
The installation completed satisfactorily.
This message indicates that VMSINSTAL finished successfully, not that the installation of the gateway was successful.
VMSINSTAL does not automatically restart the IVP. Run the IVP independently by following the steps described in Chapter 11.
9.3.2 Installation Failures
If the installation of the gateway software or a TP Desktop Connector sample application fails for some reason other than a system failure, the installation procedure displays a message describing the cause of the failure. To continue with the installation, correct the condition causing the error and restart the installation procedure from the beginning.
Errors can occur during the installation if any of the following conditions exist:
The operating system version is incorrect.
Installing TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS Software 9–9
Page 76
A prerequisite software version is incorrect.
Quotas necessary for successful installation are insufficient.
System parameter values for successful installation are insufficient.
The OpenVMS help library is currently in use.
For descriptions of the error messages generated by these conditions, see the OpenVMS documentation on system messages, recovery procedures, and OpenVMS software installations. If you are notified that any of these conditions exist, take the appropriate action as described in the message. (You might need to change a system parameter or increase a quota value.) For information on installation requirements, see Chapter 8.
If the installation of the component software completes satisfactorily, but a test fails during the IVP, the IVP displays a message describing the failure and suggests a course of action.
In most cases, the suggested course of action is to reinstall the gateway software. If the IVP fails after you reinstall the gateway software, contact your Compaq software specialist.
9.3.3 IVP Error Recovery
As the IVP executes, it checks the success of each test and operation it performs. If any test or operation fails, the IVP displays a message describing the failure and suggests a course of action.
Follow the suggested course of action and then restart the IVP as described in Chapter 11. If you reinstall gateway software, the IVP runs automatically if you answer YES to the IVP question. If you still cannot successfully run the IVP, contact your Compaq software specialist.

After Installing TP Desktop Connector
Gateway for ACMS Software
After installing gateway software, perform the following tasks:
Edit OpenVMS system startup and shutdown files (see Section 10.1).
Perform any cluster operations (see Section 10.2).
Match client and server versions (see Section 10.3).
Read the management chapters in the appropriate document:
Compaq TP Desktop Connector for ACMS Client Application Programming Guide
Compaq TP Desktop Connector Getting Started
See Chapter 11 for information about how to run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) after the software has been installed.
10.1 Editing the OpenVMS System Files
You must edit the OpenVMS system startup and shutdown files to provide for automatic startup and shutdown of TP Desktop software when your system is rebooted. (This step is usually not necessary for system upgrades.)
10
10.1.1 Editing the System Startup File
The following files are located in the SYS$STARTUP directory.
ACMSDI$SHUTDOWN.COM ACMSDI$STARTUP.COM
Add to the OpenVMS system startup file the command line that starts TP Desktop. If you separate the startup procedures into modules, be sure that you add the lines to the correct file.
After Installing TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS Software 10–1
Page 78
Position the TP Desktop startup command line after the line that invokes the ACMS startup command procedure. For example:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:ACMSTART.COM
. . .
$ @SYS$STARTUP:ACMSDI$STARTUP.COM
Note
Start ACMS software before you start TP Desktop software.
Starting TP Desktop software automatically enables the use of the DECnet communication transport. To use TCP/IP protocols as well, or instead of DECnet, list the transports you want to use in a parameter file. Specify the parameter file as a qualifier on the TP Desktop startup command line.
The parameter file is a simple ASCII text file that lists your overrides to TP Desktop run-time quotas and defaults. These overrides can include the specification of the communication libraries that have been installed on the OpenVMS system. For example, to enable TP Desktop to use all transports, perform the following steps.
1. Create the following file in the SYS$MANAGER directory:
ACMS_DESKTOP_SERVER.DAT
2. Include in the file the following line:
transport=(tcpip,decnet)
3. Modify the startup command line to specify the parameter file. For example:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:ACMSDI$STARTUP.COM SYS$MANAGER:ACMS_DESKTOP_SERVER.DAT
To perform this same function in batch from DCL-level, issue a SUBMIT command. For example:
$ SUBMIT/USER=SYSTEM/NOLOG SYS$STARTUP:ACMSDI$STARTUP- _$ /PARAMETER=(SYS$MANAGER:ACMS_DESKTOP_SERVER.DAT)
This command starts a batch job that runs the startup command procedure using the input file specified in the parameter qualifier. When the batch job completes, the TP Desktop software is started.
10–2 After Installing TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS Software
Page 79
10.1.2 Editing the System Shutdown File
Find the following line, which stops the ACMS system, in the OpenVMS system shutdown file:
$ @ACMSTOP.COM
At some point before this line, add the following command line:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:ACMSDI$SHUTDOWN.COM
The command procedure cancels all active tasks and shuts down the TP Desktop process. This ensures that the TP Desktop system processes are run down properly. The command procedure also deinstalls TP Desktop images (using the Install Utility of OpenVMS) and deassigns the logical names.
10.2 Performing Cluster Procedures
Because TP Desktop software treats a VMScluster system as if it were a local area network (LAN), you must prepare system-specific roots on each node of the cluster. For example:
$ CREATE/DIRECTORY SYS$SPECIFIC:[ACMSDI]/OWNER_UIC=SYSTEM- _$ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE,O:RWE,G:RE,W:RE) $ CREATE/DIRECTORY SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSTEST.ACMSDI]/OWNER_UIC=SYSTEM- _$ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE,O:RWE,G:RE,W:RE) $ CREATE/DIRECTORY SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.ACMSDI]/OWNER_UIC=SYSTEM- _$ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE,O:RWE,G:RE,W:RE) $
Executed on each node in the cluster, these commands create directory roots for the TP Desktop software. See Section 9.1.2 for the locations of files describing the directories added to your system.
10.3 Matching Client and Server Versions
If you are upgrading from ACMS Desktop Version 2.n to TP Desktop Version
3.m, you can use your existing client programs with the new server. But, if you build a new client program under TP Desktop Version 3.m, you cannot use this new program with the old ACMS Desktop Version 2.n server.
When the ACMS communication protocols do not match those of the desktop client, the gateway rejects the attempted connection. The gateway writes a message to the software event log (SWL).
The error code returned on the client side depends on the nature of the mismatch. The following error codes can indicate a mismatched condition:

Running the TP Desktop Connector
This chapter describes how to run the gateway installation verification procedure (IVP) separately from the installation procedure. The IVP can be run as a part of the normal installation when you answer YES to the IVP question. If the IVP fails for any reason, correct the error and rerun the IVP. See Chapter 9 for information on providing the IVP with information required for the installation procedure. Run separately from the installation procedure, the IVP can check the integrity of installed files on the system.
11.1 IVP Operations
The IVP checks that:
1. The installation procedure successfully completed installing TP Desktop
software.
2. The installed software can be used to set up and run TP Desktop software.
3. All the necessary files are on the system.
11
Gateway for ACMS IVP
The IVP does not check that the applications run correctly.
11.2 Running the IVP Independently
This section describes the requirements and steps to run the IVP.
11.2.1 IVP Requirements
If disk quotas are enabled, the IVP cannot run. The procedure checks to see whether disk quotas are enabled just after checking the process quotas. If disk quotas are enabled, the procedure provides an informational message to that effect and terminates.
Running the TP Desktop Connector Gateway for ACMS IVP 11–1
Page 82
11.2.2 IVP Steps
To run the IVP independently of the installation procedure, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the SYSTEM account:
Username: SYSTEM Password:
2. Set your default to the test directory:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$TEST $
3. Run the IVP using the following file specification:
ACMSDI$IVP.COM
You can run the IVP only on your current booted system. You cannot run the IVP over a networked connection.
To start the IVP, enter the following command:
$ @ACMSDI$IVP The TP Desktop Connector V3.2 Gateway for ACMS IVP completed successfully
. . .
The TP Desktop Connector V3.2 Gateway for ACMS IVP completed successfully
The IVP takes no more than 30 seconds to run, depending on the current system load.
11.2.3 IVP Error Recovery
As the IVP executes, it checks the success of each test and operation it performs. If any test or operation fails, the IVP does the following:
1. Stops processing.
2. Displays a message describing the failure.
3. Suggests a course of action to eliminate the cause of the failure.
Follow the suggested course of action and then restart the IVP.
