Installation Addendum

Abstract

This document describes using the Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM) product to install

Pathmaker software on G-series releases. The Install utility described in the Pathmaker Reference Manual is not available on G-series

releases.

Product Information

The Pathmaker product is a screen-based application development tool that simplifies the development of Pathway systems on NonStop

systems.

D-series Pathmaker software can be installed using either the Install utility or DSM/SCM, as described in the Pathmaker

Reference Manual.

●

G-series Pathmaker software must be installed using DSM/SCM, as described in this addendum to the Pathmaker Reference

Manual.

Using DSM/SCM to Install Pathmaker Software

The information in this addendum supercedes the following paragraph, found on page 5-1 of the Pathmaker Reference Manual:

Install the Pathmaker software files from the site update tape (SUT). The Install program restores the Pathmaker files from

the SUT onto the Distribution Subvolume (DSV), then copies them to the Installation Subvolume (ISV). The ISV is the

subvolume from which PMINSTAL distributes the Pathmaker software. The default ISV subvolume name is

ZPATHMKR.

Problem 1: The Install utility does not exist on G-series releases.

Solution: Install the Pathmaker software files from the SUT onto the DSV using DSM/SCM.

The following table maps the Install phases to the DSM/SCM activities you must now perform to install Pathmaker software. Note that

there is not a one-to-one correlation. See the DSM/SCM User's Guide for step-by-step instructions for performing the needed activities.

Solution: The concept of an ISV has simply been replaced by the concept of a TSV.
