          Preface



             This document describes how to install VAX Notes on the
             VMS operating system. It is intended for system managers.
             This document applies to VAX Notes Version 2.0, and all
             maintenance updates in that version. A major version number
             is represented by the digits to the left of the decimal
             point, and the maintenance update version number is indicated
             by the digits to the right of the decimal point.

             Keep this document with your distribution kit. You will need
             it to install maintenance updates or to reinstall VAX Notes
             for any other reason.

             At the back of this document are two Reader's Comments forms.
             If you have any comments about this document, please fill out
             one form and mail it. Your comments will be considered for
             the next revision of the installation guide.

             For more information about installing VAX Notes on VMS
             systems, refer to your processor-specific installa-
             tion/operations guide.

             The installation procedure is described step-by-step and is,
             for the most part, self-explanatory. The system prompts you
             to answer questions and to change volumes, and waits for you
             to tell it to continue.

             Defaults appear in brackets ([])  throughout the installation
             procedure. Whenever a default is indicated, you can select
             the default by simply pressing the RETURN key. Text you type
             is indicated in red; you press the RETURN key after typing
             any text.



                                                                         v

 





          __________________________________________________________

          Preparing to Install VAX Notes

             Your bill of materials (BOM) and indented bills report (BIL)
             specify the number and contents of your media. Be sure to
             check the contents of your kit against this information.
             If your kit is damaged or if you find that parts of it are
             missing, call your DIGITAL representative.

             Distribution media must be mounted in numerical order. The
             installation procedure prompts you to mount the volumes. For
             more information on how to mount distribution media, refer to
             your processor-specific installation/operations guide, which
             also details several options to the installation procedure.

          __________________________________________________________

          Accessing the Online Release Notes

             VAX Notes provides online release notes. The prompt to dis-
             play or print the release notes during the installation ap-
             pears in step 5 of the installation procedure when you invoke
             VMSINSTAL with the OPTIONS N parameter.

             To obtain the release notes after the installation, type
             or print the file SYS$HELP:NOTES020.RELEASE_NOTES. Online
             help also directs you to the release notes file. After the
             installation, type the following command:

               $ HELP NOTES RELEASE_NOTES

          __________________________________________________________

          Installation Procedure Requirements

             The installation should take approximately 15 minutes, de-
             pending on the type of media and your system configuration.
             Before installing VAX Notes, you must have the following
             privileges and resources:

              o SETPRV privilege; or CMKRNL, WORLD, and SYSPRV privileges

                                            VAX Notes Installation Guide 1

 






              o A minimum of 4700 blocks of free disk space during instal-
                lation; 3800 blocks are used after installation

              o A minimum of 260 free global pages plus the size (in num-
                ber of disk blocks) of the file SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE
                at installation; for most efficient operation, you will
                need a total of 1670 free global pages plus the size of
                SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE after installation

              o A minimum of 2 free global sections at installation; for
                most efficient operation, you will need a total of 5 free
                global sections after installation

              o VMS Version 5.1 or higher

                                          NOTE

                 You must ensure that your system has the necessary
                 global page and global section SYSGEN quotas for the
                 installation. Failure to do so could cause the DCL
                 tables to be corrupted in some situations.

             To determine the number of available global pages on your
             system, use the VMS Install Utility. Type the following
             commands:

               $ INSTALL :== $INSTALL/COMMAND_MODE
               $ INSTALL
               INSTALL> LIST/GLOBAL/SUMMARY

                       Summary of Local Memory Global Sections

               ?? Global Sections Used,  ???/??? Global Pages Used/Unused

               INSTALL> EXIT

             When you issue these commands, the system displays a summary
             of the number of global sections used, the number of global
             pages used, and the number of global pages unused. To exit
             from the VMS Install Utility, type the EXIT command.

          2  VAX Notes Installation Guide

 






             VAX Notes requires approximately 1670 global pages. If
             there are fewer than 1670 pages available, you can delete
             an existing known image with the VMS Install Utility, or
             you can increase the GBLPAGES system parameter with the
             VMS System Generation Utility (SYSGEN) by editing the file
             SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT and then invoking the AUTOGEN com-
             mand procedure, SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN.COM. For example, you can
             include a line like the following in MODPARAMS.DAT:

               ADD_GBLPAGES=2000

             For more information on the AUTOGEN command procedure, refer
             to the VMS System Management Subkit.

             You can determine the number of available global sections by
             invoking SYSGEN as follows:

               $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
               SYSGEN> USE CURRENT
               SYSGEN> SHOW GBLSECTIONS
                  .
                  .
                  .
               SYSGEN> EXIT

             The last number displayed is the maximum number of global
             sections. Compare this number to the number of global sec-
             tions in use displayed by the VMS Install Utility. VAX Notes
             requires 5 global sections. Therefore, if the number of
             global sections used plus 5 exceeds the maximum number of
             global sections, you must increase the number of available
             global sections before you can install VAX Notes. To increase
             the number, you must increase the GBLSECTIONS system parame-
             ter with SYSGEN by editing the file SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT
             and then invoking the SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN.COM procedure. For
             more information on the AUTOGEN command procedure, refer to
             the VMS System Management Subkit.

             If the number of global sections used plus 5 is less than the
             maximum number of global sections, you can exit from SYSGEN
             and continue.

          __________________________________________________________

          User Account Quotas and Privileges

             To use VAX Notes, each account must have TMPMBX and NETMBX
             privileges and the following minimum requirements:

              o AST limit (ASTLM): 24 (minimum)

              o Buffered I/O quota (BIOLM): 18 (minimum)

              o Buffered I/O byte count quota (BYTLM): 8192 (minimum)

              o Direct I/O quota (DIOLM): 18 (minimum)

              o Enqueue quota (ENQLM): 30 (minimum)

              o Open file limit (FILLM): 20 (minimum)

              o Paging file quota (PGFLQUOTA): 10,000 pages (minimum)

              o Subprocess creation quota (PRCLM): 2 (minimum)

              o Working set size (WSDEF): 256 pages (minimum), 512 pages
                (optimum)

             Use the VMS Authorize Utility (AUTHORIZE) to compare the
             current values of these quotas with the requirements for VAX
             Notes. For example, the account used in the following example
             is the SYSTEM account:

               $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
               $ RUN AUTHORIZE
               UAF> SHOW SYSTEM

             To change the values of any user account quotas and privi-
             leges, use the VMS Authorize Utility's MODIFY command. For
             more information, see the VMS Authorize Utility Manual.

          VMS License Management Facility

             This product supports the License Management Facililty (LMF)
             features provided by VMS (Version 5.0 and higher), and re-
             quires that a Product Authorization Key (PAK) be registered.

             The license registration information you need is contained in
             the PAK that is shipped with VAX Notes. The PAK is a paper
             certificate that contains information about the license you
             have to run a particular piece of software.

             During the installation, you are asked if you have registered
             the VAX Notes license and loaded the appropriate authoriza-
             tion key. You must register and load your license for VAX
             Notes before you start the installation in order to run
             the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) and use the
             software.

             To register a license under VMS V5.0 or higher, first log
             in to the system manager's account, SYSTEM. You then have a
             choice of two ways to perform the registration:

              o Invoke the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. When it
                prompts you for information, respond with data from your
                PAK.

              o Issue the LICENSE REGISTER DCL command with the appro-
                priate qualifiers that correspond to information on the
                PAK.

             For complete information on the VMSLICENSE.COM procedure
             and on the management features of LMF, see the VMS License
             Management Utility Manual.

             There is only one kit for VAX Notes, but there are three
             licenses: NOTES, NOTES-USER, and NOTES-CLIENT. The NOTES
             and NOTES-USER licenses have full functionality; the only
             difference is that the NOTES-USER license permits only a
             specified maximum number of users to use VAX Notes at any
             one time, whereas the NOTES license does not set a limit.
             The NOTES-CLIENT license does not have full functionality. It

                                            VAX Notes Installation Guide 5

 






             allows users to access only remote conferences; they cannot
             create or access local conferences. The NOTES-CLIENT license
             does not restrict the number of users.

             If a user on a NOTES-CLIENT licensed system attempts to
             perform an operation that is not allowed under the NOTES-
             CLIENT license, the following error message is returned:

               Your software license does not allow this operation

             If a user on a NOTES-USER licensed system attempts to in-
             voke VAX Notes at a time when the maximum number of users
             happen to be using VAX Notes, the following error message is
             returned:

               $ NOTES
               %LICENSE-F-NOAUTH, DEC NOTES-USER use is not authorized on this node
               -LICENSE-F-EXCEEDED, attempted usage exceeds active license limits
               -LICENSE-I-SYSMGR, please see your system manager

          __________________________________________________________

          Using VMSINSTAL

             After you log in to a privileged account to install VAX
             Notes, set the default device to SYS$UPDATE: and then invoke
             VMSINSTAL, the command procedure that installs this product.
             An example of this procedure is shown in steps 1 and 2 of the
             Installing VAX Notes section.

               $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
               $ @VMSINSTAL NOTES020 ddn: [OPTIONS N]

             You can also type an asterisk (*) in place of NOTES020.
             If you are installing from magnetic tape, you can use the
             asterisk to save installation time; the asterisk causes VAX
             Notes to be installed with a minimum of tape passes. For
             example,

          6  VAX Notes Installation Guide

 






               $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
               $ @VMSINSTAL * ddn: [OPTIONS N]

             The command parameters are described in the next paragraphs.
             If you do not supply the first two parameters (NOTES020
             and ddn:), VMSINSTAL prompts you for the product and device
             names. If you wish to be prompted for the product and device
             names and to display or print the release notes, type the
             following:

               $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL "" "" OPTIONS N

             ddn:
             Represents the name of a device where the distribution vol-
             umes will be mounted, where dd is the device code and n is
             the unit number. It is not necessary to use the console drive
             to install VAX Notes. If you do use the console drive, you
             should replace any media you removed from the drive. CSA1: is
             the device name used in examples in this document.

             OPTIONS N
             Is an optional parameter you should provide if you want to
             be prompted to display or print the release notes. If you
             do not include the OPTIONS N parameter, VMSINSTAL does not
             prompt you to display or print the release notes. VMSINSTAL
             permits the use of several other options. For more infor-
             mation on the other options, see your processor-specific
             installation/operations guide.

             When you invoke VMSINSTAL, it checks the following:

              o Whether you logged in to a privileged account. DIGITAL
                recommends that you install software from the system
                manager's account with your default device and directory
                set to SYS$UPDATE.

              o Whether you have adequate quotas for installation.
                VMSINSTAL checks for the following quota values:

                 - ASTLM = 24

                 - BIOLM = 18

                 - BYTLM = 18000

                 - DIOLM = 18

                 - ENQLM = 30

                 - FILLM = 20

             VMSINSTAL then checks whether the following conditions exist:

              o Whether DECnet is up and running

              o Whether any users are logged in to the system

             If VMSINSTAL detects either of these conditions, you will
             be asked whether you want to continue the installation.
             If you want to continue, type YES. If you want to stop the
             installation, press RETURN.

             Register the information contained in the Product Authorization
             Key (PAK) that is shipped with VAX Notes by using either the
             VMS License command procedure (VMSLICENSE) or the LICENSE
             REGISTER and LICENSE LOAD commands, as described in the VMS
             License Management Utility Manual.

          Installing VAX Notes

             This section contains excerpts from the installation pro-
             cedure and explains each step. Defaults appear in brackets
             throughout the installation procedure.

             To abort the installation procedure at any time, press
             CTRL/Y. When you press CTRL/Y, the installation procedure
             deletes all files it has created up to that point and then
             returns you to DCL level. If you want to retry the installa-
             tion procedure after pressing CTRL/Y, you must proceed from
             step 2.

             Step 1: Log in to a privileged account and set your default
             device and directory to SYS$UPDATE.

               Username: SYSTEM
               Password:
               $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE


             Step 2: Invoke VMSINSTAL.

               $ @VMSINSTAL NOTES020 CSA1: OPTIONS N

                     VAX/VMS Software Product Installation Procedure V5.X

               It is dd-mmm-yyyy at hh:mm.
               Enter a question mark (?) at any time for help.

               * Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? YES

             If you are satisfied with the backup of your system disk,
             press RETURN. Otherwise, type NO and press RETURN to discon-
             tinue the installation.


             Step 3: Insert the first installation kit volume.

               Please mount the first volume of the set on CSA1:.
               * Are you ready? YES
               The following products will be processed:

                 NOTES V2.0

             Step 4: Insert the subsequent installation kit volumes, if
             any.

               %BACKUP-I-READYREAD, mount volume 2 on _CSA1: for reading

               Enter "YES" when ready: YES

             VMSINSTAL prompts you to insert the next volume and waits for
             you to type YES after inserting it. If you type NO, VMSINSTAL
             displays the prompt again. This prompt is displayed only if
             your installation kit contains more than one volume.

             Step 5: Select a release notes option.

             This step applies only if you specified OPTIONS N in step 2.

               Release Notes Options:

                   1. Display release notes
                   2. Print release notes
                   3. Both 1 and 2
                   4. Copy release notes to SYS$HELP
                   5. Do not display, print or copy release notes

               * Select option [3]: 3

             If you select option 1, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes
             on line immediately. You can terminate the display at any
             time by pressing CTRL/C.

             If you select option 2, VMSINSTAL prompts you for a queue
             name. Either type a queue name or press RETURN to send the
             file to the default output print device.

               * Queue name [SYS$PRINT]: SYS$PRINT

             If you select option 3, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes
             on line immediately and then prompts you for a queue name.

          10  VAX Notes Installation Guide

 






             If you select option 4, VMSINSTAL copies the release notes to
             SYS$HELP immediately.

             If you select option 5, VMSINSTAL does not display, print
             or copy the release notes; typically this option is selected
             when the user wants to terminate the installation.


                                          NOTE

                 This version of the release notes file installed by
                 VMSINSTAL is labeled with the current product name and
                 version number. Take care not to delete release notes
                 for previous versions of VAX Notes.

             Next, VMSINSTAL displays the following prompt:

               * Do you want to continue the installation [N]?: YES
               %VMSINSTAL-I-RELMOVED, The product's release notes have been successfully
                   moved to SYS$HELP.

             If you want to continue the installation, type YES and press
             RETURN. If you type NO or press RETURN, VMSINSTAL discon-
             tinues the installation. In either case, VMSINSTAL moves the
             release notes to SYS$HELP.

             Step 6: Select installation options, and identify your
             license.

               * Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? YES

             The directories SYS$HELP, SYS$LIBRARY, SYS$MANAGER, and
             SYS$SYSTEM may contain previous versions of VAX Notes files.
             These files are replaced during the installation with new
             files, but the old files are not automatically purged.
             Purging is recommended. In response to the purging prompt,
             press RETURN to purge the files or type NO to keep them.

               * Do you want to run the IVP after the installation [YES]? YES

             The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) runs tests
             to check whether the installation procedure was successful.
             Press RETURN to run the IVP after the installation. If you do
             not want to run the IVP, type NO in response to the prompt.

             The system prompts you to identify which license you have
             purchased.

                 Notes may be purchased with a full capability license (NOTES or NOTES-USER)
                 or with a reduced capability, client-only, license (NOTES-CLIENT).

                 Please indicate the level of capability which you want to install:

                        1. full capability
                        2. reduced capability

               * Enter the number of the level of capability to install [1]: 1

             The system then prompts you to confirm that the VAX Notes PAK
             has been registered and loaded.

                       Product:      NOTES or NOTES-USER
                       Producer:     DEC
                       Version:      02.0
                       Release Date: dd-mmm-yyyy

               * Does this product have an authorization key registered and loaded? YES

             If you have registered and loaded your PAK, type YES.
             Otherwise, type NO, in which case the IVP will not be run.

             Step 7: Set up the server account, if applicable.

                                          NOTE

                 Step 7 occurs only if you have purchased a full ca-
                 pability license (NOTES or NOTES-USER). If you have
                 purchased a NOTES-CLIENT license, skip this step and
                 continue with step 8.

             Installing an Upgrade of VAX Notes (NOTES or NOTES-USER
             License)

             The following messages are displayed only if you are in-
             stalling an upgrade of VAX Notes:

               %NOTES-I-EXISTS, NOTES$SERVER account already exists
               %NOTES-I-MODACC, Modifying account NOTES$SERVER...
               %VMSINSTAL-I-ACCOUNT, This installation updates an account named NOTES$SERVER.
               %UAF-I-MDFYMSG, user record(s) updated
               %NOTES-I-EXISTS, The logical NOTES$LIBRARY exists
               %NOTES-I-ASSUMEOK, This installation will assume it is properly defined

             At this point, you should continue on to step 8.

             Installing VAX Notes for the First Time (NOTES or NOTES-USER
             License)

             If you are installing VAX Notes for the first time, the
             system displays the following messages and prompts you for
             your UIC number. DIGITAL recommends you use the default UIC
             [376,377]; if you do not use the default, you must ensure
             that you use a unique UIC.

                 In order to ensure that the VAX Notes server runs with the proper quotas,
                 this installation procedure will create an account for the server.  This
                 account, NOTES$SERVER, has no special privileges and is set up for only
                 network operation.

                     You must specify a unique UIC for this account in order
                     to ensure proper security of your conferences.

                 You may want to change the password on this account after the
                 installation has completed.  If you do, you must also change the
                 password with NCP SET/DEF OBJECT NOTES commands.

               * Enter UIC for NOTES server account (include brackets) [[376,377]]:[376,377])
               %NOTES-I-CREACC, Creating account NOTES$SERVER for the VAX Notes server

               %UAF-I-MDFYMSG, user record(s) updated
               %VMSINSTAL-I-SYSDIR, This product creates system disk directory
                   SYS$SYSDEVICE:[NOTES$SERVER].

             The system then prompts you for the name of the device to be
             used for storing conferences. The device name DUA1: is used
             here for the purpose of demonstration.








          14  VAX Notes Installation Guide

 






                 VAX NOTES conference files are stored in a directory named [NOTES$LIBRARY].
                 You must designate the device on which this directory is to be created.

                 Be sure that the device you specify has plenty of free
                 blocks to permit normal conference file expansion.

               * Device to be used for storing conferences: DUA1:

               %VMSINSTAL-I-SYSDIR, This product creates system disk directory
                   DUA1:[NOTES$LIBRARY].

                 The network object NOTES has been defined.  If you wish
                 to view this, run SYS$SYSTEM:NCP and issue the command
                       NCP> LIST OBJECT NOTES CHAR

               %VMSINSTAL-I-SYSDIR, This product creates system disk directory
                   VMI$ROOT:[SYSTEST.NOTES].


             Step 8: Read informational messages and the Installation
             Verification Procedure.

             The VAX Notes installation procedure produces a number of
             informational messages that report on the progress of the in-
             stallation. If the installation procedure is successful, the
             new or modified files are moved to their target directories.

                 This installation will add the following files:
                  .
                  .
                  .
               %VMSINSTAL-I-MOVEFILES, Files will now be moved to their target directories...

             The SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB and SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE files
             are updated to include the new versions of the VAX Notes HELP
             text and the NOTES command line definition.

             If you typed YES in response to the prompt that requests
             a file purge at step 6, previous versions of the VAX Notes
             files are now purged.


             Step 8A: Read informational messages and the Installation
             Verification Procedure (NOTES or NOTES-USER license.)

                 This installation will add the following files:

                       [SYSLIB]NOTES$SHARE.EXE
                       [SYSLIB]NOTES$SECTION.TPU$SECTION

                       SYS$STARTUP:NOTES$STARTUP.COM

                 You must edit your system startup procedure to invoke
                 SYS$STARTUP:NOTES$STARTUP.COM before you start your
                 network for proper VAX NOTES operation.

               %VMSINSTAL-I-MOVEFILES, Files will now be moved to their target directories...

             If you chose to run the IVP in step 6, VMSINSTAL now calls
             the IVP to verify that VAX Notes was installed successfully.

                   VAX Notes is a computer-mediated conferencing system that lets you
                   conduct online conferences or meetings.  Using VAX Notes, you can
                   communicate conveniently and economically with people in different
                   geographic locations.  Anyone connected to the system can participate,
                   making it possible for you to receive input from many people without
                   costly, time-consuming meetings.

                   This sample conference has been provided to help you quickly get
                   started using VAX Notes.  It contains definitions of terms, ways to
                   read notes, a place for you to add your first reply, and helpful hints
                   for running and participating in an online conference.  This conference

             Verification Procedure (NOTES-CLIENT license.)

             The messages and the IVP for the installation of VAX
             Notes with a NOTES-CLIENT license are shown in the Sample
             Installation section.

             When the product installation procedure is complete, you
             can choose to install more products, or to log out (as shown
             here.) If you removed any media from the console drive before
             beginning the installation, you should replace it now.

             Note that VMSINSTAL deletes or changes entries in the process
             symbol tables during the installation. Therefore, if you are
             going to continue using the system manager's account and you
             want to restore these symbols, you should log out and log in
             again.

          Notes on Installation

             You must edit the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file to invoke
             SYS$STARTUP:NOTES$STARTUP.COM before you start your network.

          __________________________________________________________

          Installing VAX Notes on a VAXcluster

             If you want to run VAX Notes on multiple nodes of a
             VAXcluster, first check to see that you have the appropriate
             software license. Then you must log in to a privileged ac-
             count on each of the other nodes in the cluster and do the
             following:

              1.Issue the LICENSE LOAD command to activate the license, as
                described in the VMS License Management Utility Manual.

              2.Type the following commands:

                  $ @SYS$STARTUP:NOTES$STARTUP.COM
                  $ INSTALL :== $INSTALL/COMMAND_MODE
                  $ INSTALL
                  INSTALL> REPLACE SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE
                  INSTALL> EXIT

              3.If the cluster has a server (that is, one or more nodes
                have a NOTES or NOTES-USER license), then you must do one
                of the following:

                 a.If this is the first time that VAX Notes has been
                   installed on this system, type the following commands:

          $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCP
          NCP> DEF OBJ NOTES NUM 33 FILE NOTES$SERVER.EXE USER NOTES$SERVER PASSWORD DECNET PROXY OUT
          NCP> SET OBJ NOTES ALL
          NCP> EXIT

                                           VAX Notes Installation Guide 19

 






                 b.If this is an upgrade of VAX Notes, stop any previous
                   Notes servers (network processes named NOTES$nnnn_n)
                   so that they are restarted using the new server
                   code. Use the DCL commands SHOW SYSTEM/NETWORK and
                   STOP/IDENTIFICATION, respectively.

          __________________________________________________________

          After the Installation

             VAX Notes is now installed and can be invoked by all users
             with the NOTES command.

             The installation procedure modifies the DCL command table so
             that the NOTES command is recognized and processed. However,
             the previous command table is still in effect for those users
             who are currently logged in. All logged-in users who want to
             use the NOTES command must log out of the system and log in
             again.

             If this is a NOTES-CLIENT licensed system, you can simplify
             the specification of conferences for the users on the system
             by defining NOTES$LIBRARY to point to the system on which
             Notes conference files will be stored. (This must be a system
             with a NOTES or NOTES-USER license).

             If many of your users are computer "novices," they may need
             help setting up their Notebook. As the system manager, you
             can set up a Notebook for them and include one or more en-
             tries in their Notebook. The example that follows shows how
             to do this.

               $ DEFINE /USER NOTES$NOTEBOOK NOTES$LIBRARY:NOTES$NOTEBOOK.NOTE
               $ NOTES
               Notes> ADD ENTRY ABC::VAXNOTES !abc::vaxnotes is used as an example
               Notes> ADD ENTRY your-notefile
               Notes> SET PROFILE /EDITOR=EDT !make EDT keypad the default
               Notes> EXIT

             Then, copy the NOTES$LIBRARY:NOTES$NOTEBOOK.NOTE Notebook
             file to the SYS$LOGIN directory of the novice users.

          Controlling VAX Notes Servers

             During heavy use, VAX Notes Version 2.0 could use the maximum
             number of server links allowed on your system. To prevent
             this from occurring, you can define system logicals to limit
             VAX Notes to a specific number of servers. Additionally,
             you can limit the number of links for each server by editing
             the SYS$STARTUP:NOTES$STARTUP.COM file and including one or
             both of the following logicals with the desired number. The
             numbers 4 and 16 are included as examples.

               $ DEFINE /SYSTEM /EXEC NOTES$SERVER_MAX_SERVERS 4 !per system
               $ DEFINE /SYSTEM /EXEC NOTES$SERVER_MAX_LINKS 16  !per server

             On most systems, the default number of servers is unlimited.
             VAX Notes has a default of 16 links for each server. You can
             change these numbers for your system, if appropriate. Note
             that if you include these commands, you should reedit the
             NOTES$STARTUP file each time you upgrade VAX Notes.

             If you are installing VAX Notes on a system that did not
             previously run VAX Notes, note that defaults for the working
             set extent (WSEXTENT) and the working set quota (WSQUOTA)
             have been set up in the NOTES$SERVER account. The default
             for WSEXTENT is not less than 512 and not more than 2048;
             the default for WSQUOTA is exactly half of the WSEXTENT. You
             can change these defaults by issuing the following comands
             (supply the appropriate number values for X and Y for your
             system):

               $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
               $ RUN AUTHORIZE
               UAF> MODIFY NOTES$SERVER /WSEXTENT=X /WSQUOTA=Y
               UAF> EXIT

          __________________________________________________________

          ALL-IN-1 Specific Information

             To link VAX Notes to the ALL-IN-1 Version 2.3 executable im-
             age, you must edit the file OA$BUILD:SITELINK.COM to include
             the VAX Notes ALL-IN-1 dispatch interface module. Starting on
             a separate line in the SITELINK.COM file, insert the follow-
             ing two lines of text:

               $ WO "! Include VAX Notes command dispatch"
               $ WO "OA$BUILD:OANOTES.OBJ"

             Next, use BACKUP to copy the OANOTES.OBJ file supplied with
             the VAX Notes installation kit into the directory OA$BUILD:.
             Finally, relink ALL-IN-1 following the instructions in the
             ALL-IN-1 System Manager's Guide.

             You can now add VAX Notes to the ALL-IN-1 menu by follow-
             ing the instructions for adding menu items in the ALL-IN-1
             Applications Programmer's Reference Manual.

          __________________________________________________________

          Running the Installation Verification Procedure Separately

             The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) is usually run
             at installation. If you want to run the IVP separately to
             ensure the integrity of installed files if system problems
             occur, execute the following command procedure if you have a
             NOTES or a NOTES-USER license:

               $ @SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSTEST.NOTES]NOTES$IVP.COM

             If the IVP fails for any reason, the following message is
             displayed:

               The VAX Notes Installation Verification Procedure failed.

             Execute the following command procedure if you have a NOTES-
             CLIENT license:

               $ @SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSTEST.NOTES]NOTES$IVP_CLIENT.COM

          22  VAX Notes Installation Guide

 






             If the IVP fails for any reason, the following message is
             displayed:

               The VAX Notes Client-only Installation Verification Procedure failed.

          __________________________________________________________

          Error Conditions

             If the installation procedure fails for any reason, a message
             like the following is displayed:

               %VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of Notes V2.0 has failed.

             An error during the installation can occur if one or more of
             the following conditions exist:

              o Operating system version is incorrect

              o Quotas necessary for successful installation are in-
                sufficient (see the Installation Procedure Requirements
                section)

              o Process quotas required by VMSINSTAL are incorrect (see
                the Using VMSINSTAL section)

              o The VMS HELP library is currently in use

              o The product was registered incorrectly or not registered.

             For descriptions of the error messages generated by these
             conditions, see the VMS System Messages and Recovery
             Procedures Reference Volume, your processor-specific in-
             stallation/operations guide, or the VMS License Management
             Utility Manual.

             If you are notified that any of these conditions exist, you
             should take the appropriate action as described in the mes-
             sage. You may need to change a system parameter or increase
             an authorized quota value.

             If the installation fails, you must restart the installation
             procedure from step 2. If the installation fails because of
             an IVP failure, contact a DIGITAL field service representa-
             tive.

          __________________________________________________________

          Maintenance Updates

             DIGITAL may periodically issue maintenance updates of VAX
             Notes. Each update consists of an installation kit. You
             should install this kit as described in this document or in
             any documentation that may accompany the maintenance update.

             Each time a maintenance update is released, the version
             number changes. For example, if the current version is 1.0,
             the version number of the first maintenance update will be
             1.1. In addition, the maintenance update includes new release
             notes. The release notes describe the changes that have been
             made to VAX Notes since the previous release.

             The update release notes are provided on line. You should
             read the release notes when you first install VAX Notes;
             they are also accessible at any time after the product is
             installed. For information on reading the release notes at
             the time that you install VAX Notes, follow the installa-
             tion procedure through step 5. To locate the release notes
             after VAX Notes is installed, display or print the file
             SYS$HELP:NOTES020.RELEASE_NOTES, or type the following:

               $ HELP NOTES RELEASE_NOTES

             If you used a private section file with a previous version
             of VAX Notes, after installing Version 2.0, you will need to
             rebuild your section file to be compatible with Version 2.0.

          Determining and Reporting Problems

             If an error occurs while you are using VAX Notes and you
             believe that the error is caused by a problem with VAX Notes,
             take one of the following actions:

              o If you purchased VAX Notes within the past 90 days and you
                think the problem is caused by a software error, you can
                submit a Software Performance Report (SPR).

              o If you have a Basic or DECsupport Software Agreement,
                you should call your Customer Support Center. With these
                services, you receive telephone support that provides
                high-level advisory and remedial assistance. For more
                information, contact your local DIGITAL representative.

              o If you have a Self-Maintenance Software Agreement, you can
                submit a Software Performance Report (SPR).

             If you find an error in the VAX Notes documentation, you
             should fill out and submit a Reader's Comments form from the
             back of the document in which the error was found. Include
             the section and page number where the error was found.

          __________________________________________________________

          Sample Installation

             This section contains a sample installation of VAX Notes with
             the NOTES-CLIENT license. (The installation excerpts in the
             section on Installing Vax Notes are from an installation with
             the NOTES license, which is similar to an installation with
             the NOTES-USER license.)

             Note that this is only a sample. Sometimes the installation
             procedure is modified in maintenance updates of this prod-
             uct. Because this installation guide is not usually revised
             for maintenance updates, be sure to read the Read Before
             Installing or Using VAX Notes letter before you install this
             product. This letter notes any significant changes in the
             installation that vary from this sample.
