Installation Instructions
To install i2Pass from the download file, please follow these exact instructions. Please note that these instructions can be used whether you are installing i2Pass for the very first time or if you are upgrading an existing i2Pass installation.
- Sign on to your IBM i from a 5250 terminal session. You must sign on using a security officer user profile (*SECOFR). During the install, make sure that this is the only session active for the profile. For an initial install (not an upgrade), if a user profile other than QSECOFR is used, that profile will be automatically enrolled as an administrator for i2Pass. If you do not want this going forward, you can remove this authorization after the install is complete.
- After completing your logon process, run the IBM i OS command DSPMSG and clear any messages that are displayed. You can clear all of the using the F16 function key. If you are unable to remove messages it indicates that the user profile is already logged into the system from another session. The install process cannot continue until this is resolved.
- Check the following system values. They should be set as indicated here. If they are not, note the current settings then change them to these settings:
QALWOBJRST - *ALL
QVFYOBJRST - value 3 or lower
QFRCCVNRST - value 0
Note: If you have to change any of these system values, make note of the original setting and make sure that you set them back to the original setting immediately following this installation process.
- If you are upgrading an existing i2Pass installation, you should choose a time when there are no registered users actively logging on to the product. Attempts by registered users to log on during the upgrade install may result in a failed logon.
- Run the following command to create a save file on your system:
CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/I2PINST)
TEXT('i2Pass Install Objects from Kisco Systems’)
- From your PC, create a folder on your desktop named TEMP and move the downloaded save file into it. The save file will be named I2PINSTnnn.SAVF where the nnn indicates the software release level.
- This file now needs to get transferred into the I2PINST save file just created on your system in the QGPL library. This can be done using the following method:
> Start the FTP server on your system: STRTCPSVR *FTP (if it is already running, no need to do this again)
> Open a window on your PC and change to the TEMP folder on your desktop
> Start an FTP session with your IBM i system: FTP yoursystem.com
> Complete the sign-on process
> Issue the following FTP commands:
BIN
PUT I2PINSTnnn.SAVF QGPL/I2PINST
> When the PUT command ends, use the command “QUIT” to exit FTP.
At this point, the software is ready to install or upgrade on your system.
- From the command line, run the install process with the following command:
LODRUN DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/I2PINST)
This will install the software on your system for your thirty day trial period.
- Before the software installs, you will be prompted to confirm the installation. The prompt will confirm the product name being installed and the version that will be installed. If it is an upgrade, you will also see the currently installed version. You must respond as follows to this prompt:
G – Go ahead and process
C – Cancel the process
When you reply with G, the install or upgrade will complete.
- 10. If you have just installed i2Pass as an upgrade, go to the INSTALL menu in library I2PLIB and run option #2. Check the installation status shown at the center of the screen to make sure that it still shows that the software is permanently installed. If you see any other status, contact Kisco Information Systems as the software will not function properly until this is corrected.
During the install processing, 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.
If you have just completed installing an upgrade of your already active license for i2Pass, please contact Kisco and advise them that you have updated to a new release level. Let us know the specific version that you have just installed so we can keep our records current about your installation.
