Installation Instructions

If you currently have OS/400 version 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 installed, download and install Expedite Base/400 4.6 as explained below. This information is also available in the Expedite Base/400 Installation document, with additional screen captures.

  1. Create two destination save files on your AS/400. If you do not, the restore process will not recognize the files as being in the SAVF format. You must create both destination save files in the same library.

    Note 1: The LIBRARY name must be an existing library in your system. If it is not, use the CRTLIB command to create it.
    For example: CRTLIB MYEXPBLIB.

    Note 2:   You can name the files EXPBLIBR and EXPBLIBRM, or whatever you prefer. But if you currently have Expedite Base/400 installed, then you probably already have these library names in use, and you should not overwrite them.

    a. Enter CRTSAVF and then press F4 (prompt).

    b. Enter the first save file name, the library name, and press Enter.

    The following is an example of the Create Save File screen:

    Create Save File (CRTSAVF)

    Type choices, press Enter.

    Save file . . . . . > EXPBLIBR Name

    Library . . . . . . >  MYEXPBLIB Name, *CURLIB

    Text 'description'. . > 'Expedite Base/400 V4R6 program and files'


    c. Enter CRTSAVF and then press F4 (prompt).

    d. Enter the second save file name, the library name, and press Enter.

    Note: The LIBRARY name must be an existing library in your system.

    The following is an example of the Create Save File screen:

    Create Save File (CRTSAVF)

    Type choices, press Enter.

    Save file . . . . . > EXPBLIBRM Name

    Library . . . . . . >  MYEXPBLIB Name, *CURLIB

    Text 'description'. . > 'Expedite Base/400 V4R6 modules'

 
  1. Download the two files from the Web to a PC and unzip the files. For example, if using pkzip, enter:

    pkunzip expblibr46.zip
    pkunzip expblibrm46.zip

    EXPBLIBR46 contains the programs and files. EXPBLIBRM46 contains the modules. . (These zip file names may be called something different)
 
  1. Use FTP to send them from your PC to your AS/400, as follows:

    a. Open an FTP session from the PC to your AS/400 and use the FTP binary subcommand to set the mode to BINARY.

    b . Make sure the current library is the library where the SAVF files were created. If it is not, use the FTP cd subcommand (cd MYEXPBLIB) to change the current library.

    Note: If you use the dir command to list a library, the mode is changed automatically to ASCII. Make sure to issue the binary subcommand again before starting transmission.

    c . Using fully qualified file names, use the FTP put subcommand to transfer both files to the AS/400 system, as follows:.

         put expblibr [destination_AS/400_filename]
         put expblibrm [destination_AS/400_filename]
 
  1. Restore the two Expedite Base/400 4.6 libraries by issuing the RSTLIB command for each save file, as follows:
    1. To restore the expblibr file, type the following command, and then press Enter.

      RSTLIB SAVLIB(EXPBLIBR) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(library/fileid) RSTLIB(EXPBLIBR)

      Notes:
      1) The fully qualified name of the save file that you created in step 1 is library/fileid.
      2) The SAVLIB parameter value of EXPBLIBR is the name of the library where the files were originally saved. This parameter is required and should not change.
      3) The RSTLIB parameter value is the name of the destination library, and EXPBLIBR, is a suggested name. You may choose to use a different name for your environment, but do not overwrite your existing EXPBLIBR library if you currently use Expedite Base/400.

    2. To restore the expblibrm file, type the following command, and then press Enter.

      RSTLIB SAVLIB(EXPBLIBRM) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(library/fileid) RSTLIB(EXPBLIBRM)
      Notes:

      1) The fully qualified name of the save file that you created in step 1 is library/fileid.
      2) The SAVLIB parameter value of EXPBLIBRM is required and should not change.
      3) The RSTLIB parameter value of EXPBLIBRM is required and should not change.
 
  1. If you will be using SSL, obtain and install an X.509 certificate by following the instructions in the Expedite Base/400 Programming Guide 4.6 or in the Expedite Base/400 Installation document, with additional screen captures.
