          ________________________________________________________________


             The DECnet/SNA VMS 3270 Data Stream Programming Interface
             (3270 DS Interface) enables VMS users to communicate with
             programs running on an IBM host. The interface allows you

             to develop applications on a VMS system that require support
             for an IBM SNA logical unit (LU) type 2 session. Access to
             the IBM SNA network is through one of the following trans-
             port products: VMS/SNA, DECnet/SNA Gateway V1.5, DECnet/SNA
             Gateway-ST, or DECnet/SNA Gateway-CT.

          1.3.2  VMS License Management Facility Requirements

             Before you install this product, you should register your
             Product Authorization Key (PAK) with the License Management
             Facility (LMF). The PAK, which contains information about the
             license, is a paper certificate shipped with the product.

             During the installation, you are asked if you have registered
             the 3270 DS Interface license and loaded the appropriate
             PAK. If you have not already done so, you can complete the
             installation. However, 3270 DS Interface and IVP will not
             run if you have not registered the license or loaded the PAK.
             Once you perform the license registration and have loaded the
             PAK, you will be able to run the 3270 DS Interface and IVP.

             To register and load the license, log in to the system man-
             ager's account. The type the following:

               $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM

             When you are prompted for information, enter the data from
             your PAK. For more information on LMF, see the VMS License
             Management Utility Manual in the VMS documentation set.

          __________________________________________________________

          1.3.3  VMS Tailor Requirements

             The required classes are: VMS Required Save Set, Network
             Support, Programming Support, and Utilities. Be certain these
             classes are installed on your system before installing the
             product. Refer to the VMS Tailor documentation in the VMS
             documentation set for more information.

          1-4  Preparing for Installation

 





          __________________________________________________________

          1.3.4  Checking System Parameter Values

             To check the values of your system parameters, enter the
             following command at the DCL prompt to invoke the SYSGEN
             utility:

               $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
               SYSGEN>

             At the SYSGEN> prompt, enter the SHOW command to display
             the value of each system parameter. The values displayed
             should equal or exceed the value of each parameter listed in
             Table 1-1. The following command displays the value for the
             GBLSECTIONS system parameter:

               SYSGEN> SHOW GBLSECTIONS

             After you finish checking the parameters with the SHOW com-
             mand, you can enter the EXIT command at the SYSGEN> prompt to
             return to DCL level.

          __________________________________________________________

          1.3.5  Calculating the Value for GBLSECTIONS

             The value for GBLSECTIONS in Table 1-1 indicates that you
             must have at least three unused sections available on your
             system for the installation to process successfully. To
             calculate how many unused global sections your system has,
             perform the following steps:

              1.Run the VMS Install Utility (INSTALL) using the following
                DCL command:

                  $ INSTALL LIST /GLOBAL /SUMMARY

                The INSTALL utility displays a summary of global pages
                and global sections used by your system, as well as the
                current number of unused global pages. For example:

                                           Preparing for Installation  1-5

 






                                   Summary of Local Memory Global Sections

                  258 Global Sections Used,  22580/3420 Global Pages Used/Unused

              2.Note the amount shown for "Global Sections Used" (258 in
                the example).

              3.Run the SYSGEN utility. Use the SHOW command to determine
                the number of global sections allocated:

                  $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
                  SYSGEN> SHOW GBLSECTIONS

                  Parameter Name      Current   Default   Minimum   Maximum Unit  Dynamic
                  --------------      -------   -------   -------   ------- ----  -------
                  GBLSECTIONS         512       250        20       4095    Sections

              4.Subtract the amount shown in the summary (258 in the
                example) from the amount allocated. If the difference
                is less than the number required in Table 1-1, increase
                the value of the GBLSECTIONS parameter.

             Section 1.3.6 describes the procedures for increasing these
             values as well as those of other system parameters. Refer to
             the VMS documentation on system management and operations for
             more information.

          __________________________________________________________

          1.3.6  Changing System Parameter Values with AUTOGEN

             You use the AUTOGEN command procedure to change system param-
             eters. AUTOGEN automatically adjusts values for parameters
             that are associated with the ones you reset manually. To
             change system parameters with AUTOGEN, you must edit the
             following file:

               SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT

          1-6  Preparing for Installation

 






             For example, to change the setting for the GBLSECTIONS system
             parameter, add this line to the file:

               GBLSECTIONS = 1024

             Now, run the AUTOGEN procedure to recalculate your system
             parameters. Enter the following command at the DCL prompt:

               $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT

             AUTOGEN performs an automatic system shutdown and reboots
             when it has finished. Rebooting your system makes the new
             parameter values active. Also, on VMS V5.0 and V5.1 sys-
             tems you can add the [NO]FEEDBACK parameter to the AUTOGEN
             command line. For more information about using AUTOGEN, see
             the instructions on modifying system parameters in the VMS
             documentation on System Management and Operations.

          __________________________________________________________

          1.4  VMSINSTAL Requirements

             The procedure for installing files using VMSINSTAL on a VMS
             system is automated. You just answer questions displayed
             while the procedure (VMSINSTAL) runs.

             Each question in the installation is marked with an asterisk
             (*) at the beginning of the line. Some questions show the
             default response in brackets; for example:

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

             To answer a question with the default, press <RET>.

             To install the distribution kit on your VMS host:

              o Log in to the system manager's account.

              o Make sure that all users are logged out and all batch jobs
                are complete.

              o Disable logins and shut down DECnet.

              o Make sure you have backed up the system disk.

                                           Preparing for Installation  1-7

 






              o Make sure you have more than 1300 free blocks on the
                system disk.

              o Make sure you have 260 global pages free. (If there are
                not enough global pages, the start-up procedure, invoked
                immediately before the Installation Verification Procedure
                (IVP), will fail.)

          __________________________________________________________

          1.4.1  Using VMSINSTAL

             VMSINSTAL is a command procedure that installs VMS layered
             software products. The VMSINSTAL command line has the follow-
             ing format:

                      $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL SNA3270nnn ddcu: [OPTIONS N]

             where:

             nnn represents the major version number and the current
             maintenance update in that version.

             The first and second digits represent the major version num-
             ber, and the third digit represents the current maintenance
             update version number. For the version number of your kit,
             refer to the label on the distribution kit or the BOM. If you
             do not supply the product name and version number, VMSINSTAL
             prompts you for them.

             ddcu: represents a device name for the 3270 DS Interface
             installation media, where dd is the device code, c is the
             controller id, and u is the unit number.

             It is not necessary to use the console drive. If you do not
             supply the device name, VMSINSTAL prompts you for it. MTA0:
             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.

          1-8  Preparing for Installation

 






             When you install a product using VMSINSTAL, you have two
             installation options. Either you can enter the VMSINSTAL
             command line specifying the product name, version number,
             device name, and release notes option, or you can enter the
             following command:

                      $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL

             If you enter the preceding command, VMSINSTAL prompts you for
             the product name, version number, and device name during the
             installation. If you use this command, you do not have the
             option of displaying or printing the release notes.

          __________________________________________________________

          1.5  On-Line Release Notes

             The 3270 DS Interface installation kit provides on-line
             release notes. A prompt to display or print the release
             notes appears during the installation procedure if you
             invoke VMSINSTAL with the OPTIONS N parameter. Later,
             you can read the release notes by typing or printing
             the file SYS$HELP:SNA3270nnn.RELEASE_NOTES (for example,
             SYS$HELP:SNA3270014.RELEASE_NOTES).

             nnn represents the major version number and all maintenance
             updates in that version. The first and second digits repre-
             sent the major version number, and the third digit represents
             the maintenance update version number.

          ________________________________________________________________


          This chapter describes how to install the DECnet/SNA VMS 3270
          Data Stream Programming Interface (3270 DS Interface). It con-
          tains a step-by-step description of the installation consider-
          ations. The final section contains an actual system log of an
          installation_using_PAK_information_and_VMSINSTAL._________

          2.1  Installation Procedure

          The 3270 DS Interface installation consists of a series of
          questions and informational messages; the process takes 6 to
          30_minutes_to_complete.___________________________________

          2.1.1  Running VMSINSTAL

          This section shows the script you see when you use VMSINSTAL
          to install the 3270 DS Interface software. In addition, this
          section contains explanatory text for each prompt.
             When you run VMSINSTAL, you may accept the default values by
             pressing the <RET> key. Unless it is otherwise stated, end
             every command line by pressing <RET>.

             To terminate the procedure at any time during the installa-
             tion, press <CTRL/Y>. When you press <CTRL/Y>, the installa-
             tion procedure deletes all files it has created up to that
             point and exits. To restart the installation procedure af-
             ter pressing <CTRL/Y>, invoke VMSINSTAL again. See Step 2:
             Invoking VMSINSTAL.

             Enhancements to VMSINSTAL in future releases of the VMS
             operating system might result in additional prompts appearing
             during the course of the installation. Although such prompts
             might not be documented in this installation guide, the
             installation should proceed normally.

             Step 1: Log in to the system manager's account.

               Username: SYSTEM <RET>
               Password:         <RET>

             Step 2: Invoke VMSINSTAL.

               $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL SNA3270nnn ddcn: OPTIONS N <RET>

             Replace nnn in the product name with the version number of
             the software, for example, SNA3270014.

             Replace ddcn with the name of the device on which you plan
             to mount the media, where dd is the device name, c is the
             controller ID, and n is the unit number.

             n.n is automatically replaced with the version number of the
             3270 DS Interface, for example, V1.4

             Step 4: Select a release notes option.

             The following prompts appear 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]: <RET>

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

             If you select option 2, VMSINSTAL prompts you for a queue
             name.

               * Queue name [SYS$PRINT]: <RET>

             Either type a queue name, or press <RET> to send the file to
             the default output print device.

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

             After the release notes are displayed or printed, the follow-
             ing prompt and message appear:

               * Do you want to continue the installation? Y<RET>
               %VMSINSTAL-I-RELMOVED, The product's release notes have been successfully
               moved to SYS$HELP.

             To continue the installation, type Y and press <RET>. If you
             type N and press <RET> or just press <RET>, VMSINSTAL stops
             the installation.

             Step 5: Register the product with the License Management
             Facility.

             You must use the VMS License Management Facility (LMF) to
             register the product. The following text appears:

                            Product:       SNA-3270-DSPI
                            Producer:      DEC
                            Version:       Vn.n
                            Release Date:  dd-mmm-yyyy

               * Does this product have an authorization key registered and
               loaded? Y <RET>

             Check to see if this is the same information contained in
             your Product Authorization Key (PAK). Type Y or N in response
             to the question.

             If you do not register and load your authorization key, the
             product will not run. For more information on LMF, refer to
             the VMS License Management Utility Reference Manual.

             Step 6: Select installation options.

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

             The installation verification procedure (IVP) checks whether
             the installation procedure was successful. Press <RET> to run
             the IVP after the installation. If you do not want to run the
             IVP, type N in response to the prompt.

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

             The system disk might contain previous versions of the dis-
             tribution files. The files are replaced during installa-
             tion with new files, but the old files are not automatically
             purged. Purging is recommended. In response to the purging
             prompt, press <RET> to purge the files, or type N to keep
             them.

                                          NOTE

                 Digital recommends that you do not delete previous
                 versions of on-line release notes after receiving a
                 new release of a product.

             Step 7: Read informational message.

             The installation procedure now displays the following infor-

          __________________________________________________________

          2.2  Postinstallation Considerations

             The installation procedure for 3270 DS Interface installs
             SNA3270SH.EXE and SNA3270MG.EXE files as shareable images.
             Section 2.2.1 lists the files added to the system.

             The 3270 DS Interface Help file can be added to an EDT Help
             file. Section 2.2.2 shows the command procedure for adding
             3270 DS Interface Help.

             Verification of the installation can be done either during
             installation through the VMSINSTAL utility or at any other
             time by running SYS$TEST:SNA3270$IVP. This command proce-
             dure verifies that the 3270 DS Interface has been installed
             correctly on your system. Section 2.2.3 shows the command
             procedure for running the IVP.

             Using the SYS$STARTUP:SNA3270$STARTUP.COM command file you
             can install the 3270 DS Interface as a shareable image.
             Section 2.2.4 shows the procedure for doing this.

             You can install the 3270 DS Interface on a VAXcluster using
             the SNA3270$STARTUP.COM command procedure. Section 2.2.5
             shows the procedure for doing this.

          2.4  Verifying the Installation of the 3270 DS Interface

               Software

             The IVP runs automatically at the end of the installation
             if you have chosen that option. You can also run the IVP
             after the installation to verify that the 3270 DS Interface
             is installed and working properly. To run the IVP after
             installation, type the following command from your terminal:

               $ @SYS$TEST:SNA3270$IVP

             If the following text appears, the software is successfully
             installed:

                                          NOTE

                 The IVP does not verify that the 3270 DS Interface can
                 connect to an IBM system.

             If the software was not installed properly, error messages
             are displayed. Correct the problems indicated by the messages
             and rerun the 3270 DS Interface installation procedure. If
             you receive IVP errors, you have a damaged kit; contact your
             Digital representative.

                                          NOTE

                 For information about configuring your IBM SNA soft-
                 ware for LU type 2 communications, refer to Guide to
                 IBM Parameters for your particular transport product.

             If you have not registered the 3270 DS Interface with LMF,
             the following text appears:

          2.5  Installing the 3270 DS Programming Interface as a Shareable

               Image

             The file, SYS$STARTUP:SNA3270$STARTUP.COM, contains the
             start-up command procedure for the 3270 DS Programming
             Interface. To install the 3270 DS Programming Interface as a
             shareable image, execute the command procedure as follows:

               $ @SYS$STARTUP:SNA3270$STARTUP.COM

             Include this command in your system start-up procedure to
             automatically install the 3270 DS Programming Interface as a
             shareable image when you boot the system.

          __________________________________________________________

          2.6  Using the 3270 DS Interface Software in a VAXcluster

             After you have installed the 3270 DS Interface software on
             one node of a VAXcluster, you can install it on the other
             nodes of the VAXcluster by executing the SNA3270$STARTUP.COM
             procedure on each node as follows:

               $ @SYS$STARTUP:SNA3270$STARTUP.COM

             You must activate a 3270 DS Interface license for each node
             in the VAXcluster that will execute and run the interface
             software. You can activate the license in one of the follow-
             ing ways:

              o Log in to each VAXcluster node, and enter the LICENSE LOAD
                command.

              o Invoke the VMS SYSMAN Utility to execute the LICENSE
                LOAD command on the desired VAXcluster nodes. See the
                VMS SYSMAN Utility Manual for details on defining your
                management environment and executing commands on other
                nodes.

             For more information on the LICENSE LOAD command, refer to
             the  VMS License Management Utility Manual.
