Instructions for installing on iSeries

  1. These instructions have been abridged for experienced LANSA users. If you need further assistance to install the EPC, full instructions are available in the Technical Resources of the LANSA Web site at www.lansa.com/support/notes/epc
  2. Recommend a backup be done of all the LANSA folders, system libraries and ALL the LANSA IFS objects (LANSA_pgmlib/x_lansa) before applying this EPC
  3. You need exclusive use of the LANSA system before applying the EPC. To check for active users refer to Appendix C How to check for Active Users in the Installing LANSA on iSeries guide for instructions.
  4. End the Listener, Host Monitor and Web server for the LANSA system and run the LANSA for the Web cleanup program.
  5. Move the unzipped file EPC797 to a shared folders (QDLS) on the iSeries.
  6. Use the XFLRTOSAVF command to convert the folder to a save file (LANSA program library must be on your library list) - press F4 for command details. A save file will be created by this command.
  7. You now have a save file.
  8. Sign on as a user profile that is QSECOFR, part of the QSECOFR group, or, has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.
  9. Use the RSTOBJ command to restore all objects from library QTEMP into library QTEMP, eg.
    RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(QTEMP) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(<save file name>) RSTLIB(QTEMP)
  10. Display your current library list. If QTEMP is not shown, add it to your library list by using the ADDLIBLE (add library list entry) command.
  11. Install the EPC using the command:

    LOADEPC797 PGMLIB(<pgmlib>) COMLIB(<comlib>)
    <pgmlib> is the name of the LANSA program library, often DC@PGMLIB but it may be different on your system.
    <comlib> is the name of the LANSA Communications library, often DC@COMLIB but it may different on your system.
     
  12. Save and then delete the backout library (iiiEPCnn where iii = 1st three characters of the LANSA program library and nn is sequence number) created by the install. The contents of the library may be used to backout this EPC and return your system to its previous state.
  13. Sign off and then on again before commencing the next installation, eg:
