Previous Contents

2.2 Determining the Files and Logical Names Added to the System

During the installation, DECdocument creates some files and logical names on your system. See Appendix B for a complete list.

2.3 Error Recovery

If errors occur during the installation itself or when the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) is running, VMSINSTAL displays failure messages. If the installation fails, you see the following message:


    %VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of DOC V3.2 has failed. 

If the IVP fails, you see these messages:


    The DECdocument V3.2 Installation Verification Procedure failed. 
 
    %VMSINSTAL-E-IVPFAIL, The IVP for DOC V3.2 has failed. 

Errors can occur during the installation if any of the following conditions exist:

For descriptions of the error messages generated by these conditions, see the OpenVMS documentation on system messages, recovery procedures, and OpenVMS software installation. If you are notified that any of these conditions exist, you should take the appropriate action as described in the message. For information on installation requirements, see Chapter 1.


Chapter 3
After Installing DECdocument

The following tasks take place after installing DECdocument:

3.1 Running the Installation Verification Procedure Separately

You usually run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) during installation. If you want to run the IVP separately to ensure the integrity of installed files should system problems occur, execute the following command procedure:


    $ @SYS$TEST:DOC$IVP 
 
    * Enter the destination parameter: PS 
    * Do you want the IVP queued automatically [YES]? [Return]

If the IVP fails for any reason, the following messages are displayed:


    %DOC-I-IVP_FAILURE, DECdocument V3.2 IVP failed. 
    %VMSINSTAL-E-IVPFAIL, The IVP for DOC V3.2 has failed. 

3.2 Editing the System Files

You must edit the system startup file to provide for automatic startup of DECdocument when your system is rebooted.

Add the command line that starts DECdocument to the system startup file,

The following example shows how the system startup file can be edited to include the DECdocument startup command line:


    $ @SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM 
         . 
         . 
         . 
    $ @SYS$STARTUP:DOC$STARTUP.COM 

3.3 VAXcluster Considerations

If you want to run DECdocument on multiple nodes of a VAXcluster, first check to see that you have the appropriate software license. Then, execute the following commands after installing DECdocument:


    $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN 
    SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER 
    SYSMAN> DO @SYS$STARTUP:DOC$STARTUP.COM 
    SYSMAN> DO INSTALL REPLACE SYS$SHARE:DCLTABLES.EXE 
    SYSMAN> EXIT 

For more information about the SYSMAN utility, see the VMS SYSMAN Utility Manual.

3.4 User Account Requirements

To work with DECdocument, user accounts on your system must have certain privileges and quotas. The next two sections contain information on these requirements.

3.4.1 Privileges

To use DECdocument, each account must have at least the TMPMBX and NETMBX privileges. Use the VMS Authorize Utility to determine whether users have the privileges they require.

3.4.2 User Account Quotas

You must make sure that the appropriate user accounts have sufficient quotas to be able to use DECdocument Version 3.2. Table 3-1 summarizes the required user account quotas.

Table 3-1 User Account Quotas for Using DECdocument
Account Quota Value
BYTLM 8192
ENQLM 100
FILLM 30
PGFLQUOTA 25,000
TQELM 10

See Section 1.4.3 for a description of how to verify and change account quotas.

3.5 System-Wide Tasks

Perform the following system-wide tasks after the installation:

  1. Edit the appropriate system startup file to provide for automatic startup of DECdocument when your system is rebooted. Add the following command line to the system startup file:


                $ @SYS$STARTUP:DOC$STARTUP.COM 
    

  2. Verify that all users of DECdocument have the requisite FILLM and PGFLQUOTA quotas.
  3. If you are on a cluster, perform the commands outlined in Section 3.3.

The following sections describe additional steps and conditions that must exist before the system is made available to users.

3.6 Check Your LN03 Printer

DECdocument system support for LN03 output requires that the LN03 be equipped with a minimum of two LN03X-CR RAM cartridges to download the necessary fonts. Without RAM cartridges, the LN03 has only 27K RAM; each cartridge adds an additional 128K.

If the output produced by the LN03 has erratic characteristics (for example, if white space occurs where text should be) or if the LN03 displays the numbers 2 and 4 on its LED display while printing the file, you need to order the cartridges and install them to get LN03 output.

For correct printing of LN03 output files, the terminal queue characteristics and the device's switch settings must be verified. Discussion of terminal queue characteristics and LN03 bit settings are discussed in the following sections.

3.6.1 Terminal Queue Characteristics

The following list summarizes the terminal queue characteristics required for correct output of DECdocument output files produced for the LN03. In the following example, TTcn: is the terminal number of the LN03 printer.

Place the following commands in the system startup file to enable the terminal queue:


    $ SET TERMINAL TTcn: - 
    _$ /SPEED=19200- 
    _$ /DEVICE=(LN03)- 
    _$ /PERMANENT/NOBROAD/NOECHO/FORM- 
    _$ /PAGE=66/NOTYPEAHEAD/WIDTH=80/NOWRAP 
    $ SET DEVICE TTcn:/SPOOLED=(queue-name,SYS$DEVICE:TTcn) 
    $ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/START/NOENABLE queue-name/ON=TTcn: 

The queue-name is the same queue name specified in the installation procedure.

3.6.2 LN03 Bit Settings

You can determine the bit settings on your LN03 by pressing the Test Button on the back of the device. The summary sheet settings should be as follows:


 
S U M M A R Y   S H E E T          Revision Level DEC004.4 
 
 SWITCH #         SETTING       MEANING 
 
  1-1             OFF           SERIAL INPUT 
    2             ON 
    3             ON            19200 BAUD 
    4             ON 
    5             OFF           8 DATA BITS 
    6             OFF           PARITY DISABLED 
  2-1             ON 
    2             OFF           LN03 DEVICE ID 
    3             OFF 
    4             OFF           AUTO WRAP OFF 
    5             OFF           XON/XOFF ENABLED 
    6             OFF 
 

Note that the revision level must be 004.4 or greater.

3.7 Error Conditions

If the installation procedure fails for any reason, the following message is displayed:


    DOC V3.2 Installation failed. 
    Please consult the DECdocument Installation Guide for further information. 

An error during the installation can be caused by one or more of the following conditions:

For descriptions of the error messages generated by these conditions, see the VMS System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference Volume and your processor-specific installation/operations guide.

If you are notified that any of these conditions exist, you should take the appropriate action, as described in the message. You may need to change a system parameter or increase an authorized quota value. For information on requirements, see Chapter 2.

If the installation fails, you must restart the installation procedure from step 2. If the installation fails due to an IVP failure, contact a Digital field service representative.

3.7.1 IVP Error Conditions

If the Installation Verification Procedure fails for any reason, you receive OpenVMS system messages indicating the cause of the error. The most likely problem areas are as follows:

3.8 Maintenance Updates

The DECdocument development group may periodically issue maintenance updates of DECdocument. Each update consists of an installation kit. You should install this kit as described in this guide or in any documentation that may accompany the maintenance update.

Each time a maintenance update is released, the version number changes. For example, if the current version is 1.0, the version number of the first maintenance update will be 1.1. In addition, the maintenance update will usually include changes to the release notes. The release notes describe the changes that have been made to DECdocument since the previous release.

The update release notes are provided online. You can read the release notes before you install DECdocument and at any time after the product is installed. For information on reading the release notes before DECdocument is installed, follow the installation procedure through step 7. To read the release notes after installing the product, display or print the file SYS$HELP:DOC032.RELEASE_NOTES.

3.9 Determining and Reporting Problems

If you encounter a problem while using DECdocument, report it to Digital. Depending on the nature of the problem and the type of support you have, you can take one of the following actions:

Review the Software Product Description (SPD) for an explanation of warranty. If you encounter a problem during the warranty period, report the problem as indicated above or follow alternate instructions provided by Digital for reporting SPD nonconformance problems.


Appendix A
Sample Installation

This appendix contains a log file from an installation of DECdocument on an Alpha system. The sample shows a Motif-based installation procedure.

Be sure to read this installation guide and the release notes which note any significant changes in the installations that vary from this example before you install this product.

The example installation assumes that DECnet has been shut down, that no users are logged on to your system, and that OPTIONS N is not specified. The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) runs at the end of the installation.
