Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems with any of the installation steps, do the following first:
•
Use the appropriate INFO statements in NOSCOM to gain information about the
components involved.
•
Check the step you just attempted to make sure you followed directions. Also verify
that the previous step was completed successfully.
•
Make sure you have read the softdoc to be aware of any late changes.
•
Reread the appropriate topics in this section. See also Section 4, Managing the
NonStop ODBC Server.
This subsection describes some tools that can assist you in minimizing errors when
installing the NonStop ODBC Server, some areas to inspect for possible failures in
installation and operation, and some considerations for system performance.
NOSINST
NOSINST is a TACL macro used to install many components of the NonStop ODBC
Server on a NonStop system. It has the following functions:
•
Installs the NOSUTIL and NOSCOM utility programs on NOS-Target-
Disk.ZNOS and SQL compiles the program.
•
Installs the NonStop ODBC server program on NOS-Target-Disk.ZNOS, SQL
compiles it, and licenses it (its file name is NOS).
•
Installs the SCS program on NOS-Target-Disk.ZNOS, and licenses it (its file
name is SCSOBJ).
•
Builds the NonStop ODBC Server system catalog by customizing the SQL/MP
system catalog; this function creates several SQL/MP tables, views, and indexes,
and populates the tables with data.
•
When upgrading from a previous release of the NonStop ODBC Server, NOSINST
automatically upgrades the NonStop ODBC Server system catalog to the current
version.
NOSINST proceeds until it terminates successfully or until it finds an error. In the latter
case, it reports the error and sometimes suggests a corrective action. It also suggests
the NOSINST option to use when you run NOSINST again to resume the installation
after you have fixed the problem.
If you currently have NOSUTIL and NOSCOM installed, the ALL and INSTALL options
will fail. The SYSCAT UPGRADE option is the only one you may use.
