Installing the VHS Subsystem Components

The INSTVHS routine automates the installation of the VHS components and

subsequent updates. The INSTVHS routine affects these files:

•

Program and configuration files for the VHS and VHSCI programs and the VHS

GUI Agent facility

•

Program and configuration files for the VHS Browser facility

•

HELP text files

•

VHS Browser Pathway configuration files

The INSTVHS routine presents four options to help you install and update the VHS

components. The four options are:

1. Install or update VHS and VHSCI programs and the VHS GUI Agent facility

2. Install or update the VHS Browser facility in a running ViewPoint Pathway system

3. Install the VHS Browser facility as a stand-alone Pathway system

4. Update the VHS Browser facility in a stand-alone Pathway system

After you install the VHS and VHSCI programs and the VHS GUI Agent facility by

choosing option 1, determine how you want to install the VHS Browser facility and then

select the appropriate option (2, 3, or 4). To install the VHS GUI, see Section 8, The

VHS GUI, and the related softdoc.

Installing VHS for the First Time

INSTVHS follows certain general guidelines when installing VHS for the first time:

•

VHS files such as the VHS programs, help text, and configuration files are owned

by the user running the installation routine; their security attributes are set to

NUNU.

•

VHS Pathway files are owned by the user running the installation routine; their

security attributes are set to the current default security values.

Updating VHS

INSTVHS follows certain general guidelines when installing a VHS software update:

•

Files released by Tandem replace older versions.

•

Files containing user data (such as VHSCSTM, VHSBCONF, and VHSGCONF)

are not replaced.

•

If the installation replaces an old copy of a VHS file, such as the VHS program or

HELP text file, the new file has the owner and security attributes of the old file.
