Internet Install Instructions

To install DSK MANAGER on your system from the DMINST.ZIP file you downloaded, please follow these exact instructions:

  1. Sign on to your AS/400 from a PC that is configured for Client Access/400 using Shared Folders. You must sign on using the special IBM-supplied user profile QSECOFR.

  2. If you already have DSK MANAGER installed and you are now installing an upgrade, rename the current DSK MANAGER library from DISKMGR to DISKMGROLD.

  3. Run the following command:

    CRTFLR FLR(KISRMT)

  4. Run the following command:

    CRTPF FILE(QGPL/DMINSTALL) RCDLEN(80)

  5. Using your PC, copy the DMINST.ZIP file into the shared folder created in step #2 above. For most systems, this can be done by issuing the following PC command: 

    copy DMINST.ZIP i:\qdls\kisrmt

  6. Also from your PC, unpack (unzip) the DMINST.ZIP file while it is in the shared folder. This will create 5 files in the folder in addition to the zip file.

  7. Now go back to the AS/400 command line and run the following command: 

    CPYFRMPCD FROMFLR(KISRMT) TOFILE(QGPL/DMINSTALL)
FROMDOC(INSTALL)

  8. Also from the AS/400 command line, run the following command: 

    SBMDBJOB FILE(QGPL/DMINSTALL)

    Note: This command requires that the IBM supplied user profile QPGMR be an active entry in your system directory. If you are unsure about the status of your directory, use the WRKDIRE command (WRKDIR for V3R1 installations) to verify that it contains an entry for QPGMR.

  9. At this point, a job will be loaded into your system jobque called DMINST. When the job starts running from the jobque, the following message will be sent to the QSECOFR user profile: 

    "Starting DSK MANAGER install"

    and when this step completed, the following message will also be sent to the QSECOFR user profile: 

    "Initial DSK MANAGER install processing now complete"

  10. When you receive this message, type the following command on the AS/400 command line: 

    GO DISKMGR/INSTALL

  11. When the INSTALL menu is displayed, type menu option #1 to complete the installation process. When this command is finished, DSK MANAGER will be installed on your system for your FREE 30 DAY TRIAL.

During the final install processing (step #11 above), a document called "Additional Documentation Topics" will print. This includes the latest system changes and documentation since the last time the user manual was updated.

When you have completed your evaluation of DSK MANAGER, you may purchase a permanent installation copy by contacting us and arranging payment.
