Help Desk System Installation Instructions - Demo Version -CA Method

  1. Print this page.

  2. Click on "Download Demo".   (Note which directory the file is copied to.)

  3. After the file has been downloaded, go to the directory it was copied to, type
      HLPDEMO.EXE, and press enter.  This will unzip the files that you downloaded.
      The next step is to move these files to the AS/400.

  4. Sign on to the AS/400 as a user who is enrolled in the distribution directory and
      run the following commands:

      CRTLIB FASTBREED (Skip this step if the library's already there.)
      CRTPF FILE(QTEMP/HLPPF1) RCDLEN(528) SIZE(*NOMAX)
      CRTPF FILE(QTEMP/HLPPF2) RCDLEN(528) SIZE(*NOMAX)
      CRTSAVF FILE(QTEMP/HLPSV1) AUT(*ALL)
      CRTSAVF FILE(QTEMP/HLPSV2) AUT(*ALL)

  5. Minimize your AS/400 session and go to the Client Access icon that says Data
      Transfer to AS/400.  Create a new transfer request with the following values:

      a. PC file name should be HLPDEMO.SVF
      b. System should be your AS/400 system name.  If you don't know it go, to the
          Communications menu at the top of your AS/400 session window and select
          Configure.  The system name should be displayed.
      c. Library/file(member) should be FASTBREED/HLPDEMO(HLPDEMO).
      d. The details screen should have these values:
          1. PF File Description not used
          2. File type equals 'no conversion'
          3. Create AS400 object equals 'yes, create file and member'
          4. Record length equals '528'
          5. Authority equals 'all'

  6. Run the transfer request.

  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6, replacing HLPDEMO.SVF with FASTBASE.SVF
      and FASTBREED/HLPDEMO with FASTBREED/FASTBASE.

  8. Bring your AS/400 session back up and run the following commands:

      CPYFRMSTMF
           FROMSTMF('/qsys.lib/fastbreed.lib/hlpdemo.file/hlpdemo.mbr')
           TOMBR('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/hlppf1.file/hlppf1.mbr')
           MBROPT(*REPLACE) CVTDTA(*NONE)
           ENDLINFMT(*FIXED) TABEXPN(*NO)

      CPYFRMSTMF
           FROMSTMF('/qsys.lib/fastbreed.lib/fastbase.file/fastbase.mbr')
           TOMBR('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/hlppf2.file/hlppf2.mbr')
           MBROPT(*REPLACE) CVTDTA(*NONE)
           ENDLINFMT(*FIXED) TABEXPN(*NO)

      SNDNETF FILE(QTEMP/HLPPF1) TOUSRID(your profile/system)
      SNDNETF FILE(QTEMP/HLPPF2) TOUSRID(your profile/system)

      RCVNETF FROMFILE(QTEMP/HLPPF1) TOFILE(QTEMP/HLPSV1)
                        USER(your profile)
      RCVNETF FROMFILE(QTEMP/HLPPF2) TOFILE(QTEMP/HLPSV2)
                        USER(your profile)
      ** Ignore error message about closing file if you get it.

      RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(FASTBREED/HLPDEMO) DEV(*SAVF)
                    SAVF(QTEMP/HLPSV1) MBROPT(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL)
                    RSTLIB(FASTBREED)
      RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(FASTBREED/FASTBASE) DEV(*SAVF)
                    SAVF(QTEMP/HLPSV2) MBROPT(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL)
                    RSTLIB(FASTBREED)

  9. That's it.  Now anyone who has FASTBREED on their library list can use the
      Help Desk System by keying in the command 'helpdesk'.
