VHS Browser Installation as a Stand-Alone Pathway
System Procedure
Enter 3 to install the VHS Browser as a stand-alone Pathway system. The INSTVHS
program prompts you through these steps:
1. Defining a File
Checks to see if a definition file exists and creates one if it does not. At its creation,
this file is filled with default values from your Pathway system.
2. Selecting and Defining the Parameters
Provides the VHS 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 VHS Installation Subvolume
Verifies that all the files required to install VHS Browser are present in the VHS
ISV.
5. Deleting Old Copies of VHS Browser Servers and Requesters
Checks to see if VHS was previously installed in your Pathway system. It is
executed only if this is an update of the VHS Browser stand-alone Pathway
system. If so, the previous version of the VHS 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. If a previous VHS configuration file exists, it
is not updated.
7. Installing the VHS Browser Requesters
Copies all VHS requester programs to the location specified by the PATHWAY-
POBJ-FILE-PREFIX parameter.
