VHS, VHSCI, and VHS GUI Agent Installation
Procedure
This command attaches the INSTSEGF segment file and displays an installation menu:
Enter 1 to install the VHS and VHSCI programs and the VHS GUI Agent facility. The
INSTVHS program prompts you through the installation process that includes:
1. Defining a File
Checks to see if a definition files exists and creates one if it does not. INSTVHS
uses default values to create a definition file, which you can change later.
2. Selecting and Defining the Parameters
Enables you to specify custom parameters.
3. Validating File Parameters
Validates your choices for VHS parameters.
4. Validating the VHS Installation Subvolume
Verifies that all the required files for VHS and VHSCI program and the VHS GUI
Agent facility installation are in the VHS installation subvolume. If the required files
are not in the installation subvolume, a message is issued and you should restart
the installation procedure.
5. Installing VHS Programs
The INSTVHS routine moves VHS,VHSCI,VHSDDL,VHSINSP, and VHSTEXT the
program and help text files to the subvolume specified by the VHS-PROGRAM-
SUBVOL parameter. Then the VHS GUI Agent files VHSGAGT, VHSGTPL,
VHSTEXT, and VHSGCONF are copied to $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.
6. Creating the Default VHSCSTM Custom Configuration File
The INSTVHS routine creates a default VHSCSTM file in the subvolume specified
by the VHSCSTM-USER-SUBVOL parameter.

facility

system

MODE parameter is OFF. These values cannot be modified while VHS is running. Be sure
to change these values in the installation procedure or by editing the VHSSTART file.
