4 Preparing to Install a TRANSFER

Overview Before you use the TRANSFER installation procedures, you need to copy TRANSFER

software files and prepare them for use.

TRANSFER software arrives at your site on a Site Update (SUT) Tape. The product

files on the SUT tape are grouped into distribution subvolumes (DSVs), the names of

which appear on the last part of the packing list. These names are in the form

Yxxxxzzz where xxxx is the product number and zzz is the release number—for

instance, Y9110C30.

The RESTDSV and REPSUBSYS phases of the INSTALL program take these DSVs

from the SUT and group them into subvolumes called installation subvolumes

(ISVs). The ISVs for TRANSFER system components are:

ZTRANSFR, which includes files for Base TRANSFER, TMANAGER, ADMIN,

and the X400 gateway

ZMAIL653, which includes files for the PS MAIL 6530 client

ZMAIL327, which includes files for the PS MAIL 3270 client

ZMAILTTY, which includes files for the PS MAIL TTY client

Preparing a User-DSV After you have run the system installation program INSTALL—including the

REPSUBSYS phase—to install the new software supplied by Tandem, copy each ISV

for the TRANSFER system components to another subvolume. The copy of the ISV

that you make is called a user distribution subvolume, or user-DSV, and is the

subvolume from which the component software is run. You can copy the ISVs into

one user-DSV or into separate user-DSVs.

This guide refers to the user-DSVs separately only for clarity. If you use all

components, you have the following user-DSVs:

TRANSFER user-DSV

MAIL6530 user-DSV

MAIL3270 user-DSV

MAILTTY user-DSV

Consider the space on the volume to which you copy the user-DSVs. If your volume

$SYSTEM is almost full, you can put the user-DSVs on another volume.

Use the user-DSVs to define and run your TRANSFER system. The installation

procedures in this manual assume that you use the user-DSVs.

Appendix C lists the files residing in the user-DSVs for each system component.
