Internet Install Instructions

To install QFU/400 on your system from the QFUINST.ZIP file you received via E-mail or Website Download, 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. Run the following command:

    CRTFLR FLR(KISRMT) AUT(*ALL)

  3. Run the following command:

    CRTPF FILE(QGPL/QFUINSTALL) RCDLEN(80)

  4. Using your PC, copy the QFUINST.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 QFUINST.zip i:\qdls\kisrmt 

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

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

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

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

    SBMDBJOB FILE(QGPL/QFUINSTALL)

    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 systems) to verify that it contains an entry for QPGMR.

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

    "Starting QFU/400 install"

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

    "Initial QFU/400 install processing now complete"

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

    GO QFULIB/INSTALL 

  10. When the INSTALL menu is displayed, type menu option #1 to complete the installation process. When this command is finished, QFU/400 will be installed on your system for your FREE 30 DAY TRIAL.

  11. To start using QFU/400, type the following command and prompt it for parameters using the F4 key:

    QFULIB/VIEW 

    or you can display the user menu for QFU/400 by keying the following command:

    GO QFULIB/MASTER
During the final install processing (step #10 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. The full user manual is available via the Internet in both WordPerfect and Word for Windows formats. Check the Website (http://www.kisco.com/afu.htm) to obtain a copy.

When you have completed your evaluation of QFU/400, you may purchase a permanent installation copy by contacting us and arranging payment.
