This page gives installation instructions for
our PSPSOCK
ISeries sockets framework.
You may receive the PSPSOCK software in the following
ways:
- Direct download of PSPSOCK.zip - around 2.0MB - from
a secure area of our Web site.
- A single email attachment PSPSOCK.zip - around
2.0MB.
- If a single email attachment of 2.0MB can not get
through your firewall, a series of separate email
attachments PSPSOCK.zip.001,
PSPSOCK.zip.002......PSPSOCK.zip.006 each of which is
around 400K in size. You concatenate these as
described below to build a single PSPSOCK.zip file.
To install the software:
- If you received separate email attachments
(PSPSOCK.zip.001 through PSPSOCK.zip.006), detach
these to your PC then open a Windows command prompt
and enter the following command (all on one line):
copy /B pspsock.zip.001 + pspsock.zip.002 +
pspsock.zip.003 + pspsock.zip.004 + pspsock.zip.005
+ pspsock.zip.006 pspsock.zip
You should see a message like:
PSPSOCK.zip.001 PSPSOCK.zip.002 PSPSOCK.zip.003
PSPSOCK.zip.004 PSPSOCK.zip.005 PSPSOCK.zip.006 1
file(s) copied.
- Double-click on PSPSOCK.zip to open the file using
WinZip or similar ZIP software. You will see that
PSPSOCK.ZIP contains one file PSPSOCK.SAVF. Extract
this file PSPSOCK.SAVF to your PC drive.
- Transfer the SAVF up to your ISeries to end up with
a SAVF called PSPSOCK (probably in QGPL library). If
you use FTP to do this transfer, you need to
pre-create an empty SAVF on the ISeries first then FTP
into that. The FTP transfer also needs to be 'binary',
not 'ascii'. If you do not want to use FTP, then you
can transfer in a different way if your ISeries is
mapped as a Windows network drive (please contact us
if you need further help with this method).
- On your ISeries, rename any current PSPSOCK library
you may have e.g. to PSPSOCK2. This is so you can
reinstate items in your current copy of the PSPSOCK
library to the new copy of PSPSOCK. The PSPSOCK User
Guide has more details on this.
- On your ISeries, run RSTLIB SAVLIB(PSPSOCK)
DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/PSPSOCK)
- If you are starting a 30-day trial of PSPSOCK: If we
have not given you a license key for this (e.g. in an
email), you can get one yourself here.
- If you are already a user of PSPSOCK: Copy the
contents of the PSPSLICKEY and PSPSUSR data areas from
PSPSOCK2 into the new PSPSOCK library. If you ever
forget/lose your license key, you can get it again
yourself here.
- Reinstate other items from the PSPSOCK2 library to
the new PSPSOCK library. The PSPSOCK User Guide has
more details on this.
- Check the authority of the PSPSOCK library and the
objects within it. Make sure that whoever is going to
use it has enough authority.
- A reasonable number of copies of the PSPSOCK library
on offline media as part of your regular backup cycles
are assumed, but you are still limited to the number
of copies you have licensed - including backup and
disaster recovery machines.
The SAVF contains SAVLIB LIB(PSPSOCK) with target OS/400
release of V5R2M0, so RSTLIB on that or any later release
should work. If you encounter any problems using the
PSPSOCK library objects, you can check the following
sizes:
- The SAVF on our source ISeries running V5R3 is
8,933,376 bytes.
- The SAVF as transferred to our source PC via binary
FTP is 8,976,000 bytes.
- The PSPSOCK.zip file is 2,174,355 bytes.
