[061203] Contents: **Installation Requirements **Installation **USING Client Access for UNIX **Known Limitations **NLS Packages #################################################### Note: This version of Client Access for UNIX contains new procedures for installation and licensing. You must install and configure the StarLicense package before using Client Access for UNIX. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS ------------------------- Make sure you have each of the following before you proceed: * AS/400 running OS400 V3R1 or above PTFs: You should have the latest PTFs available from IBM for the Host Socket Servers installed on your AS400. * TCP/IP and access to one or more AS/400 servers * Sufficient disk space for installation (approx. 20MB) * Root user authority * Red Hat Linux 7.3 or above. Other versions of Linux may work, but have not been tested. * OpenMotif (supplied with Red Hat Linux) * StarQuest StarLicense package Client Access for UNIX can be installed on a server or on as many clients as needed. Your license agreement provides a certain number of concurrent connections. #################################################### QUICK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS =============================== 1. Logon to UNIX as root. 2. cd to the directory containing the Client Access for UNIX installer for your UNIX platform. # cd /mnt/cdrom/caunix/linux 3. Excecute the shell script "setup": # ./setup This will install Client Access for UNIX to the default location (/usr/share/ca400) and run post_install, which creates symbolic links and creates desktop items in the Start Menu for both GNOME and KDE environments. You will be prompted if you wish the install the NLS (National Language Support) package for localized user interfaces. The installer will also check for the presence of OpenMotif and StarLicense, and notify you if these appear to be missing. To remove Client Access for UNIX: # cd /usr/share # rm -rf ca400 for Red Hat 7.3: # rm /usr/share/applnk/Applications/ca400.desktop # rm /usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications/ca400.desktop for Red Hat 8.0: # rm /var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/ca400.desktop # rm /usr/share/gnome/apps/ca400.desktop for Red Hat 9.0: # rm /var/lib/menu/kde/Applications/ca400.desktop # rm /usr/share/applications/ca400.desktop USING Client Access for UNIX ============================ Once you have installed Client Access for UNIX, you will need to set up your user profile with the appropriate files and environment variables. Add the following environment variables to your .profile or .cshrc: CA400=/usr/share/ca400 PATH=$PATH:$CA400/bin MANPATH=$MANPATH:$CA400/man LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CA400/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH You may also want to set the environment variable BROWSER to use the web browser of your choice (e.g. netscape, mozilla, galeon, lynx, opera) in place of the supplied cabrowser and xcabrowser when viewing the documentation and help files: BROWSER=netscape Run StarQuest Client Access for UNIX OS by using one of these commands: X Window: xcamenu Character-oriented terminals: camenu You can also start Client Access for UNIX by selecting "Client Access for UNIX" from the Start Menu: On Red Hat 7.3, it will appear under the Programs/Applications menu (GNOME) or the Applications menu (KDE). On Red Hat 8.0, it will appear under Extras/Others (GNOME) or in the main part of the Start Menu (KDE). On Red Hat 9.0, it will appear under Others (GNOME) or in the main part of the Start Menu (KDE). Known Limitations ================= xcabrowser: The supplied help browser for X Windows (xcabrowser) does not function. We recommend using another web browser (e.g. netscape, mozilla) in place of xcabrowser by setting the environment variable BROWSER. xca5250: After selecting Host Print function in xca5250 (X Windows version of the 5250 emulator), the message "Print Operation complete to the default printer device file" appears at the bottom of the screen but input will be inhibited. Use Ctl-R to reset the terminal. xca5250: Copy does not work (However, Paste does work) CAUNIX Linux NLS (National Language Support) package: ===================================================== Localized support for user interfaces in Client Access is available by installing the contents of the tar file "lnux-nlv.tar". During installation, you will be asked if you wish to install it. If you choose to install it later, extract its contents into $CA400/nls: # cat linx-nls.tar | (cd $CA400/nls; tar xf - ) This creates the following directories: de - German es - Spanish it - Italian ja - Japanese ko - Korean nl - Dutch no - Norwegian sv - Swedish zh_CN - Simplified Chinese zh_TW - Traditional Chinese Additional setup: * If the name of the locale on Linux differs from the directory name, you must create a symbolic link in the NLS directory. For instance, on Red Hat 7.3, the German locale is called deutsch, rather than de, so you must create this symbolic link: # cd $CA400/nls # ln -s de deutsch * You may need to modify values in the following tables: $CA400/etc/ccsid.tab change values like "IBM-037" to "IBM037" $CA400/etc/lang.tab (used by ca5250 & xca5250 emulators): Add a line for each locale e.g. copy the line describing the locale "de_DE" and change "de_DE" to "deutsch" $CA400/etc/conf/5250lang.cs $CA400/etc/conf/ccsid.cs $CA400/etc/conf/lang.cs Other useful info: * to see a list of available locales, type: $ locale -a * to set your logon to a particular locale, use the LANG environment variable: $ LANG=deutsch; export LANG (sh, ksh, bash) or % setenv LANG deutsch (csh)
