Chapter 1. Preparing to Install DECforms Software

This chapter discusses the preparations and requirements for installing VSI DECforms software.

Your bill of materials (BOM) and indented bills report (BIL) specify the number of media in your kit and the contents of your kit. Make sure you compare your kit with this information. If your kit is damaged or incomplete, contact your VSI representative.

DECforms provides online release notes. You can read or print the release notes before you begin the DECforms installation.

Recommendation

VSI Computer Corporation strongly recommends that you read the release notes before you proceed with the installation. For more information about the release notes that ship with your kit, see Section 2.1, “Accessing the Online Release Notes”.

1.1. Required Operating System Components

To install DECforms, you must have certain operating system components. The components you need depend on whether you are installing the DECforms full development kit or the run-time kit.

The DECforms full development kit contains the DECforms run-time system and development utilities. To install this kit, you must have installed the following OpenVMS classes:

  • OpenVMS required save set

  • Programming support (for STARLET.OLB and IMAGELIB.OLB)

  • Utilities (for HELPLIB.OLB)

The DECforms run-time kit contains only the DECforms run-time system. To install the DECforms run-time kit, you must have installed the OpenVMS required save set class.

1.2. Required and Optional Software

This section discusses the software that must already be installed on your system before installing DECforms. The section also includes information about optional software that you can use with DECforms.

To install DECforms, you must have installed on your system:
  • OpenVMS operating system supported:

    • OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 without support for Oracle CDD/Repository Version 7.2 or later

    • OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.2 with support for Oracle CDD/Repository Version 7.2 or later

    • OpenVMS I64 Version 8.2 without support for Oracle CDD/Repository Version 7.2 or later

    • OpenVMS I64 Version 8.2-1 with support for Oracle CDD/Repository Version 7.2 or later

  • Oracle CDD/Repository Version 7.2 or later, if you intend to store definitions in Oracle CDD/Repository software

  • DEC LSE Version 2.3 or later if you intend to use the DEC Language-Sensitive Editor (DEC LSE) templates for the DECforms Independent Form Description Language (IFDL)

    For a complete list of the products that are compatible with this version of DECforms, see the Software Product Description.


Note

DECforms Version 4.0 software can be used with VSI ACMS Version 5.0 or later.

1.3. Required Hardware

DECforms supports HP VT100-, VT200-, VT300-, VT400-, VT500-series terminals, and PCs that use the Windows NT operating system.

1.4. License Registration

You must register the DECforms software license with the OpenVMS License Management Facility (LMF). The LMF is available with Version 5.0 of the OpenVMS operating system.

The Product Authorization Key (PAK) that is shipped with DECforms contains the license registration information you need. The PAK is a paper certificate that contains information about the license you have purchased to run a particular piece of software.

During the installation, you are asked whether you have registered the DECforms license and loaded the appropriate authorization keys. It is therefore best to register your DECforms license before you do the installation.

If you have not registered the DECforms license and loaded the appropriate authorization keys,you can complete the installation; however, you cannot run either the DECforms software or its Installation Verification Procedure(IVP). Once you register the license and load an authorization key, you can run the IVP and use DECforms.

To register a license under Version 5.5 or later of the OpenVMS operating system,log in to the system manager's account, SYSTEM. You then can register a license in one of the following ways:

  • Run the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. When the procedure prompts you for information, enter data from your PAK.

  • Enter the LICENSE REGISTER command with the appropriate qualifiers that correspond to information on the PAK.

If you are installing DECforms on an OpenVMS Cluster system,you must register your license on each licensed node in the OpenVMS Cluster system.

For complete information on using LMF, see the section in the OpenVMS documentation set on the License Management Facility.

1.5. Installation Requirements

The following sections discuss various requirements for installing DECforms.

1.5.1. Time

Installing DECforms and running the IVP requires approximately 5to 35 minutes, depending on your system configuration and the distribution media you are using.

1.5.2. Privileges

To install DECforms, you must be logged into an account that has SETPRV or the following privileges:

  • CMKRNL

  • WORLD

  • SYSPRV

VMSINSTAL turns off BYPASS privilege at the start of the installation.

1.5.3. Disk Space

Installing DECforms requires a certain amount of free storage space before and after the installation, as shown in Table 1.1, “Disk Space Requirements”.

Use the backup procedures that have been established at your site. For details on backing up your disk, see the section on the Backup Utility in the OpenVMS documentation set.

Chapter 2. Installing DECforms Software

This chapter describes how to install VSI DECforms software. Section 2.5, “Running the Installation Procedure” contains a step-by-step description of the installation procedure.

2.1. Accessing the Online Release Notes

You should review the Release Notes that DECforms provides;they might contain information about changes in the installation procedures. If you specify OPTIONS N when you run VMSINSTAL, the installation procedure asks you whether you want to display or print the release notes. VSI recommends that you print the release notes.

After you install DECforms, you can find the OpenVMS Alpha release notes located in 
$ SYS$HELP:FORMSA040.RELEASE_NOTES
The release notes for OpenVMS I64 are located in 
$ SYS$HELP:FORMSI040.RELEASE_NOTES

2.2. Determining the Files and Logical Names Added to the System

The DECforms installation procedure adds a number of files toyour system. It also modifies some files and defines some logical names. Appendix C, Files and Logical Names Installed on Your System lists the changes that the DECforms installation procedure makes to your system.

2.3. Running the Installation Verification Procedure

The IVP for DECforms verifies the installation. DECforms provides two IVPs, one for the full development kit and one for the run-time kit.

When you are installing the DECforms kit, the installation procedure asks whether you want to run the IVP as part of the installation. If you respond YES, VMSINSTAL runs the appropriate IVP. You should run the IVP to verify that DECforms is installed correctly.

Should you need to run the IVP at any time after installation, enter the following command on a VT100-, VT200-, VT300-, VT400-, or VT500-series terminal or on a corresponding workstation terminal emulator:

Run-Time Kit IVP

$ @SYS$TEST:FORMS$RT_IVP.COM

Full Development Kit IVP

$ @SYS$TEST:FORMS$IVP.COM

2.4. Aborting the Installation

To abort the installation procedure at any time, press Ctrl/Y. The installation procedure deletes all files that it has created and exits. You can start the installation again.

2.5. Running the Installation Procedure

The DECforms installation procedure consists of a series of questions and informational messages. The following sections explain how to run the VMSINSTAL procedure and answer the installation questions. These sections also explain the informational messages displayed by the procedure.

2.5.1. Running VMSINSTAL

To start the installation, run the VMSINSTAL command procedure from a privileged account, such as the SYSTEM account. VMSINSTAL is in the SYS$UPDATE directory.

To set default to the SYS$UPDATE directory, enter the following command:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
To run VMSINSTAL, enter a command with the following syntax:
@VMSINSTAL [product-name device-name options-list]

If you omit the parameters from the command line, VMSINSTAL asks you for this information later.

The following list defines the elements of the VMSINSTAL procedure.

product-name

The installation name for the product. For the DECforms full development kit running on Alpha, use the installation name FORMSA040. For the DECforms full development kit running on I64,use the installation name FORMSI040.

For the DECforms run-time kit running on Alpha, use the installation name FORMSRTA040. For the DECforms run-time kit running on I64,use the installation name FORMSRTI040.

device-name

The name of the device on which you plan to mount the media or the directory where you copied the save sets. For example,MTA0: is the device name for a tape drive; DKA0:[MYDIRECTORY]the name for a disk drive. You do not need to use the console drive for this installation. If you do use the console drive,once the installation is complete, you should replace any media you removed.

options-list

The word OPTIONS followed by one or more of the available options designators, including the following:

  • Display or print release notes (N)

    Indicates you want to see the installation question on release notes. If you do not include the OPTIONS N parameter, VMSINSTAL does not ask you about the release notes. You should review the release notes before proceeding with the installation in case they contain additional information about the installation.

    If you are restarting the installation and have already reviewed the release notes, you do not need to specify OPTIONS N.

  • Alternate root option (R)

    Lets you install the product to a system root other than that of the running system.

To specify more than one option, separate the options with commas(OPTIONS N,R).

VMSINSTAL has several other options; for more information, see the VSI OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual section on software installation.

The following example shows the command that runs VMSINSTAL to install DECforms from tape drive MTA0: and the system response. This example uses the OPTIONS N parameter to print or display release notes.

2.6. Error Recovery

If errors occur during the installation or when the IVP is running,VMSINSTAL displays failure messages. If the installation fails, the procedure displays the following message:
%VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of DECforms V4.0 has failed.
If the IVP fails, the procedure displays the following messages:
The DECforms V4.0 Installation Verification Procedure failed.

%VMSINSTAL-E-IVPFAIL, The IVP for 
DECforms V4.0 has failed.
Errors might occur during the installation if any of the following conditions exists:

  • The version of the operating system is incorrect.

  • A required software version is incorrect.

  • Quotas are insufficient.

  • System parameter values are insufficient.

  • The OpenVMS Help library is being used.

  • The product license has not been registered and loaded.

For descriptions of the error messages generated by these conditions, see the OpenVMS documentation on system messages and recovery procedures. Take the appropriate action as described in the message. (You might need to change a system parameter or increase an authorized quota value.)

For information on installation requirements, see Chapter 1, Preparing to Install DECforms Software.

Chapter 3. After Installing DECforms Software

After installing DECforms software, you might need to do the following tasks:

  • Edit the system startup file to include the DECforms startup procedure.

  • Access the Hebrew run-time message file.

  • Set user account privileges and quotas.

  • Set system parameters.

  • Make DECforms available on each licensed node in your OpenVMS Cluster system (if you are installing DECforms on an OpenVMS Cluster).

  • Install the form development utilities.

This chapter explains how to do these tasks.

3.1. Editing the System Startup File

You can provide for automatic startup of DECforms when your system is rebooted, and define output formats for dates and times other than the standard OpenVMS format, by editing the system startup file, SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.

To cause automatic startup of DECforms, insert the following line in the system startup file:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:FORMS$STARTUP.COM
Include this line with command lines that start up other products. The command lines should follow the network startup command line, as follows:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM
     .
     .
     .
$ @SYS$STARTUP:FORMS$STARTUP.COM

To have access to date and time formats other than the default standard formats, run a procedure named LIB$DT_STARTUP.COM in your system startup file. If you want this command procedure to define the spellings of non-English date and time elements, you must define the SYS$LANGUAGES logical name before you run the LIB$DT_STARTUP command procedure. The English spellings of date and time elements remain available.

For example, to cause French and German spellings of date and time elements and alternate date and time formats, add the following commands to SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:
$ DEFINE SYS$LANGUAGES FRENCH, GERMAN$ @SYS$MANAGER:LIB$DT_STARTUP.COM

You can add the definition of SYS$LANGUAGES and the command to run LIB$DT_STARTUP.COM directly after the DECforms startup command line.

For more information on the SYS$LANGUAGES logical name and the LIB$DT_STARTUP command procedure, see the OpenVMS documentation on date and time formatting routines.

3.2. Hebrew Installation Notes

The DECforms installation process places the Hebrew run-time message file in:

SYS$MESSAGE:FORMS$MSGMGRSHR_HEBREW.EXE

The English run-time message file is found in:

SYS$MESSAGE:FORMS$MSGMGRSHR.EXE

DECforms uses the English message file by default. To use the Hebrew messages, the system manager should replace the English file with the Hebrew file, and then reinstall the image by performing @SYS$STARTUP:FORMS$STARTUP.

The user also can use the logical name FORMS$MSGMGRSHR to point to the desired language-specific message file.

3.3. User Account Requirements

To use DECforms, user accounts on your system must have the TMPMBX and NETMBX privileges. The accounts also must have the quotas shown in Table 3.1, “Minimum User Account Quotas for Developing DECforms Applications”.
Table 3.1. Minimum User Account Quotas for Developing DECforms Applications

Account Quota

Minimum Value

BYTLM

16384

PRCLM

3

User account privileges and quotas are stored in the file SYSUAF.DAT.

To verify and change user account privileges and quotas, use the Authorize Utility as follows:
  1. Set your directory to SYS$SYSTEM and run the Authorize Utility:
    $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
$ RUN AUTHORIZE
UAF>
  2. To check a particular account, at the Authorize Utility prompt (UAF>) enter the SHOW command with an account name. For example:
    UAF> SHOW SMITH
  3. To change a privilege or quota, enter the MODIFY command in the following syntax:
    MODIFY account-name /PRIVILEGES=privilege-name/quota-name=nnnn
    The following example adds the NETMBX privilege, modifies the BYTLM quota for the SMITH account, and exits the utility:
    UAF> MODIFY SMITH /PRIVILEGES=NETMBX /BYTLM=16384
UAF> EXIT

    After you exit the utility, the OpenVMS operating system displays messages indicating whether changes were made. Once you have made the changes, users must log out and log in again for the new privileges and quotas to take effect.

For more information on modifying account privileges and quotas, see the VSI OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual.

3.4. System Parameters

Table 3.2, “Minimum System Parameter Values for Developing DECforms Applications” shows the minimum values to which certain system parameters should be set when users develop DECforms applications on your system.
Table 3.2. Minimum System Parameter Values for Developing DECforms Applications

System Parameter

Minimum Value

PQL_MBYTLM

16384

PQL_MPRCLM

3

MAXBUF ?

4096

To change system parameters, do the following:

  1. Edit the file SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT.

    To change the value of a parameter that is listed in the MODPARAMS.DAT file, use an editor to locate the line containing that parameter. Delete the current value associated with that parameter and enter the new value.

    To add a new value, add a line to the MODPARAMS.DAT file. Make sure you include both the name of the parameter and its value in the new line. For example, to include a setting for the PQL_MBYTLM and PQL_MPRCLM parameters,add the following lines to the MODPARAMS.DAT file:
    PQL_MBYTLM=16384PQL_MPRCLM=3

  2. Run the AUTOGEN procedure to recalculate your system parameters.

    After you have modified the MODPARAMS.DAT file and exited the editor, enter the following command: 
    $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT

    AUTOGEN does an automatic system shutdown and reboots once it has finished. Rebooting your system activates the new parameter values. For more information about using AUTOGEN, see the instructions on modifying system parameters in the OpenVMS documentation on system management and operations.

3.5. Cluster Considerations

After you install DECforms on an OpenVMS Cluster system, you must do the following tasks on each licensed node in the OpenVMS Cluster system:

  • Run the DECforms startup command procedure.

  • Install DCLTABLES.EXE.

  • Register the license for DECforms.

  • Run the full development kit IVP (if you are installing the full development kit) and the run-time kit IVP.

To run the startup command procedure, log into a node in the OpenVMS Cluster system and enter the following command:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:FORMS$STARTUP.COM
To install DCLTABLES.EXE, enter the following command:
$ INSTALL REPLACE SYS$SHARE:DCLTABLES.EXE/OPEN/SHARE/HEADER

To register the DECforms license on a node, see Section 1.4, “License Registration”. To run the full development kit and run-time kit IVPs, see Section 2.3, “Running the Installation Verification Procedure”.

3.6. Installing the Form Development Utilities as Shared Images

DECforms provides the following form development utilities:

  • Form Development Environment (FDE)

  • Character-cell Panel Editor (CCPED)

  • IFDL Translator

  • Back Translator

  • Extract Utility

  • Test Utility

  • FMS Converter (Supported only on Alpha)

If you use these form development utilities extensively on your system, you can install them as shared images to reduce the system overhead and memory requirements.

To install the form development utilities as shared images, do the following:

  1. Determine the number of available global pages and global sections on your system.

    To install the form development utilities as shared images, you must increase the number of global pages by 6000 and the number of global sections by 30. These are increases over what is required during installation. Install the utilities just after you start your system. The available space in the global page table is less likely to be fragmented.

  2. To install the form development utilities as shared images on a currently running system, enter the following command:
    $ @SYS$STARTUP:FORMS$STARTUP.COM  DEVELOP
    To install the utilities as shared images each time your system is rebooted, add the DEVELOP parameter to the line you added to the system startup file, SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM (see Section 3.1, “Editing the System Startup File”), as follows:
    $ @SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM
     .
     .
     .
$ @SYS$STARTUP:FORMS$STARTUP.COM  DEVELOP
To install selected form utilities, use the OpenVMS Install Utility (INSTALL).For example, to install only the Character-cell Panel Editor as a shared image, enter the following commands:
$ INSTALL
INSTALL> ADD SYS$LIBRARY:FORMS$FSESHR.EXE /OPEN /SHARED /HEADER
INSTALL> ADD SYS$LIBRARY:FORMS$PEDSHR.EXE /OPEN /SHARED /HEADER
INSTALL> ADD SYS$MESSAGE:FORMS$MSGPRDSHR.EXE /OPEN /SHARED /HEADER 
INSTALL> ADD SYS$LIBRARY:FORMS$PEDVTEXEC.EXE /OPEN /SHARED /HEADER
INSTALL> EXIT

Note

You must install FORMS$FSESHR.EXE and FORMS$MSGPRDSHR.EXE with the first form development utility that you install. Once you have installed these two images,you need not reinstall them to add other form development utilities.

3.7. Determining and Reporting Problems

If an error occurs while DECforms is being used and you believe that a problem with DECforms is causing the error, take one of the following actions:

  • If you have a BASIC or DECsupport Software Agreement, call your Customer Support Center.

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

  • If you purchased DECforms within the past 90 days and you think a software error is causing the error, submit an SPR.

Appendix A. Alpha Systems Sample Installation

This appendix contains a sample installation of VSI DECforms software. Depending on which layered products you have on your system, you might see additional messages and questions when you install VSI DECforms software.

The sample installation assumes the following:

  • DECnet has been shut down. Although it is not necessary to shut down DECnet to perform a successful DECforms installation, VMSINSTAL checks to see if DECnet is shut down.

  • No users are logged in to the system.

  • The installation kit is in SYS$UPDATE.

  • OPTIONS N is specified during the full development kit installation to print the release notes, but not during the run-time kit installation.

  • The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) runs after each kit has been installed.

Appendix B. I64 Systems Sample Installation

This appendix contains a sample installation of VSI DECforms software. Depending on which layered products you have on your system, you might see additional messages and questions when you install VSI DECforms software.

The sample installation assumes the following:

  • DECnet has been shut down. Although it is not necessary to shut down DECnet to perform a successful DECforms installation, VMSINSTAL checks to see if DECnet is shut down.

  • No users are logged in to the system.

  • The installation kit is in SYS$UPDATE.

  • OPTIONS N is specified during the full development kit installation to print the release notes, but not during the run-time kit installation.

  • The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) runs after each kit has been installed.

     procedure immediately after installation by answering "YES" to
     the IVP prompt. Or you may choose to invoke it later using
     the following:  @SYS$TEST:FORMS$RT_IVP.COM
