VHS Browser Installation in ViewPoint Procedure
2. Selecting and Defining the Parameters
Provides the VHS Browser parameters. You can accept the default parameter
values or modify the appropriate parameters.
3. Validating File Parameters and Definitions
Verifies your settings for the VHS Browser parameters.
4. Validating the Installation Subvolume
Verifies that all the files required to install the VHS Browser are present in the
VHS ISV.
5. Deleting Old Copies of VHS Browser Servers and Requesters
Checks to see if the VHS Browser was previously installed in your Pathway
system. If so, the previous version of the VHS Browser servers and requesters are
deleted.
6. Installing the VHS Browser Server Programs and Data Files
Copies all the program and data files to the subvolume specified by the
VHS-BROWSER-SUBVOL parameter.
7. Installing the VHS Browser Requesters
Copies all the VHS Browser requester programs to the location specified by the
PATHWAY-POBJ-FILE-PREFIX parameter.
If the INSTALL-ZVPT-EXTRAS parameter is set to YES, a version of the
ZVPT-EXTRAS requester program is also installed in the Pathway POBJ program
library.
8. Creating the VHS Browser Pathway Configuration Files
Creates two Pathway configuration files. The first one, called VHSDEFS, contains
the server configuration. This file adds the new server into the Pathway
environment.
The second file, called VHSSTRT, contains the Pathway commands to start the
VHS Browser servers.
9. Updating the Pathway Configuration File PATHCONF
Updates the current Pathway PATHCONF file by adding two OBEY commands.
These commands execute the two VHS Pathway command files created in Step 8,
VHSDEFS and VHSSTRT, to add VHS in the Pathway environment.
The Pathway system uses PATHCONF whenever you issue a VIEWPT:
STARTCOLD macro to start the Pathway environment from a cold state.
10. Creating the VHS Default Browser Configuration File
Creates the default Browser configuration file used to list all the known VHS
environments on this system. The result is put in an EDIT file.
