Configuring the ASAP Extension

This section describes how to configure the ASAP Extension (ASAPX):

Getting Started With ASAPX

ASAPX is delivered as an independent product on CD and is installed using the

IPSETUP installation procedure and the ASAPX Installer macro. To install, configure,

and begin using ASAPX:

1. Insert the ASAPX CD in a CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions in the file

named README.TXT in the root directory to install the ASAPX ISV on an HP

NonStop server.

2. Install the ASAPX ISV:

•

For systems using DSM/SCM for software management, use DSM/SCM to

accept the ASAPX software from the ISV and complete the installation

process.

•

For HP NonStop K-series systems not using DSM/SCM, use IPSETUP to place

the ASAPX files in the correct location.

3. Create or edit the ASAPX configuration file, ASAPXCNF. It must contain SET

commands to configure ASAPX for your environment. The ASAPX INSTALL macro

creates a default copy of ASAPXCNF if the file does not already exist. If IPSETUP

places the files for you, you need to manually create ASAPXCNF.

4. Configure ASAP to enable ASAPX by including the SET APP ON command in the

ASAP configuration file, ASAPCONF. If the ASAPX configuration file, ASAPXCNF,

does not reside on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM, use a PARAM option to indicate the

location of the file.

5. Develop EDL files to describe your applications, their DataItems, and their metrics

(EDL attributes).
