If you have difficulty downloading an ALS
update from your PC with the instructions found in the README.txt document, you
may be able to use this method.
In order to install Updates on the AS/400 from a PC file, you must have TCP/IP installed on both your PC and on the AS/400. (You must also have FTP installed on your AS/400).
Installing TCP/IP and FTP on the AS/400 is beyond the scope of this document. If you do not know whether your AS/400 has TCP/IP and/or FTP, please check with your network manager or system provider.
On the AS/400
1. Sign onto the AS/400 using an account with *SECOFR authority.
2. Create a Save file in the QGPL library with the same name as the update you have received:
CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/XXX0000)
On the PC
3. If you received the update as a .ZIP file, you must unzip the update before continuing. You should now have a file XXX0000 on your PC in some folder-name.
4. To upload the XXX0000 file from the PC, an FTP session must be started to the AS/400.
5. From Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0, click on the START button and select RUN. From Windows NT 3.51, select Run from the file menu option from the Program Manager and enter the following command:
FTP as400ipaddress
where as400ipaddress is either a TCP/IP address such as 191.5.82.200, or a machine name that is registered either in a DNS or a HOSTS file.
6. When prompted for a user name and password, enter the appropriate information that will give you privileges to upload data to the AS/400.
7. Once FTP has been started, upload the XXX0000 file to the AS/400 by entering the following commands:
a) binary
b) put x:\foldername\XXX0000 QGPL/XXX0000
· where x is the CD-ROM drive or PC disk drive
· where \folder-name\ is the name of the folder that contains the update.
c) quit
On the AS/400
8. Restore the library called XXX0000 from the Save file in QGPL.
RSTLIB SAVLIB(XXX0000) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/XXX0000)
9. To install the updates, return to the README.txt instructions for “Applying this update:”.
