Second Party Alert User and Installation GuideINSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
Chapter 2INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
Installation
This guide provides specific field entries that need to be made during the
installation and con figur ation of SPA. In addit ion to this gu ide, use ins truct ions i n
the following manuals for this installati on:
•Applications Manager (APM) Installati on Manual - Contains step-by-step
instructions for installing the software from the release media.
•Applications Manag er (APM) Oper a tions Manual - Expl ains how applications
like SPA are configured in th e APM environment and how the SPA database is
created, using the entries and values provided in this chapter.
•NEAX2400 System Manuals - Give very detailed explanations about the
assignments that need to be made through the Maintenance Administration
Terminal (MAT) commands on the NEAX2400.
The installation and set up of SPA involves the following sequence of steps:
•Software Installation— SPA software must first be loaded from the release
media. Log in to the APM Pl at form Management Menu, select the Installation
of Applications/Packages option, and follow the instructions provided in the
APM Installation Manual to complete this part of the installation.
•Application Configuration — SPA is internally supported by the APM and
must be configured in the APM environment. Chapter 2, “INSTALLATION
AND CONFIGURATION” in this manual provides the information that must
be entered into this APM conf iguration f ile. Use t he instructi ons provide d in the
APM Operations Manual to make the entries contained in this section.
•Database Requirements — SPA requires a database that is constructed and
maintained through the APM Database Administration option. The process
begins with the creation of a master definition file and its related master
database. Then, an application definition file is constructed which enables the
processing of the master file into an application database. Chapter 3,
“DATABASE REQUIREMENTS” of this manual defines the information
which must be included in these definition and database files. Use the
instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual to make the entries
contained in this section.
•MAT Assignments — There are data settings that must be assigned at the
NEAX2400 Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) before SPA will
function. Chapter 4, “MAT ASSIGNMENTS” specifies the necess ary
commands and the values at which they are to be set. Use the in structions
provided in th e NEAX240 0 IMS Syst em Manuals to make the entries contained
in this section.

Chapter 3DATABASE REQUIREMENTS
This chapter assumes that SPA is not going to use the OAI Name Display
application database and must have one built. In this case, SPA requires two
databases that are created throu gh the Database Admi nistration opt ion on the APM
System Administration Menu.
Database creation in the APM involves the following 4-step process:
Step 1
- Create
Master Definition File
Instructions
Step 2
- Build
Master Database File
Step 3
- Specify
Application Formats
Step 4
- Process
Application Database
•Step 1- Create a Maste r Definition File: This step involves creating the
master definition file that defines the fields in the master database file.
•Step 2- Build a Master Database File: This step involves entering data (e.g.,
actual phone lines) into the maste r dat aba se fields that were just defined in the
master definition file in Step 1.
•Step 3- Cr eate an A pplication Def initio n File: I n this step, a de fi nition f i le is
created for the SPA database. This file defines the formats by which data from
the master file is to be converted to meet the needs of SPA.
•Step 4- Process and Install the Application Database: In this step, the
Process and Install Application Databases options on the APM Database
Administration menu crea tes the file that will be used by SPA. When the
Process option is activated, data is drawn from the master database and
converted to the formats specified in the application definition file. The Install
option is then activated to enable SPA to copy its database.
The information required for the SPA database is provided in the ta ble on the
following page. Using this information with the procedural instructions provided
in the APM Operations Manual, enter the Database Administration option on the
APM System Administration Menu and build the SPA database. Any messages
displayed during these steps are addressed in the Process and Error Messages
chapter of t he APM Operations Manual.
