Installing the VHS Browser as a Stand-Alone
Pathway System
Security Considerations
VHS Browser does not provide its own security checking. If you are using the
ViewPoint environment, VHS Browser relies on the security system provided by
ViewPoint to check for two authorization levels:
•
Who can install and start VHS Browser
•
Who can run VHS Browser
When INSTALL is run, the VHS ISV files are restored with the operator’s ownership
and security values. Verify these values to ensure that they are acceptable. VHS
installation procedures require read access to the ISV files and result in files being
copied and created on the subvolume defined by the VHS-BROWSER-SUBVOL
parameter.
When installed, VHS Browser follows ViewPoint security measures. For more
information, see the ViewPoint Manual.
Installing the VHS Browser as a Stand-Alone
Pathway System
To install the VHS Browser facility as a stand-alone Pathway system, run the INSTVHS
routine and follow the directions as shown in Figure 2-4.
If you are installing the VHS Browser facility as a stand-alone Pathway system for the
first time, you do not need to have this Pathway system running. If you are updating an
installation, you must have the VHS Browser stand-alone Pathway system running.
Before you run the INSTVHS routine, review Table 2-5 on page 2-23 for the
parameters required.
