A

Automated install from a PC

This method involves running a .EXE file (self-extracting zip) file on your PC to install CoolSpools on your system i.

Depending on which .EXE program you run, you can either install the entire CoolSpools package or individual product options.

The PC installer will send the code to be installed to the system i and run the commands needed to install CoolSpools there.

Note that CoolSpools does not need a PC and after installation all CoolSpools functionality runs entirely on the system i.

Select this method if you are more comfortable running things from a PC.

• You must sign on to the system i as a user with *SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authorities.
• An FTP connection to the system i from your PC.
• You must be willing and able to open up your PC firewall so the installer can communicate between your PC and the system i.

B

Automated install from a PC and the system i

This method involves running a .EXE file (self-extracting zip) file on your PC to install just a small installer application on the system i.

The rest of the installation, including downloading of the install files, is then carried out on the system i itself.

Note that CoolSpools does not need a PC and after installation all CoolSpools functionality runs entirely on the system i.

Select this method if you prefer to run things mostly from the system i.

• You must sign on to the system i as a user with *SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authorities.
• Either an FTP (preferred) or System i Access connection to the system i from your PC.
• You must be willing and able to open up your PC firewall so the installer can communicate between your PC and the system i.
• An internet connection must be available for use from the system i so that the installer can connect to ariadne’s web server via FTP to download the install files.

C

Manual installation of the installer, automated installation from the system i

Select this method if you cannot use the PC install programs used by methods A and B above, for example if you cannot open up your PC firewall to all the installer to connect to the system i.

You will manually install the small installer application on the system i then run an automated install of the rest of the application from the system i itself.

• You must sign on to the system i as a user with *SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authorities.
• An FTP connection from your PC to the system i to allow transfer of the save files for the small installer application.

D

Manual installation mainly on the system i

Select this method only if it is not possible to use any of the above methods for some reason, as it is more complex than the others.

You are required to download one or more zip files each containing one or more system i save files, Those save files must be unzipped and transferred to the system i. You must then run a series of Restore Licensed Program (RSTLICPGM) commands to install the product options you want.

• You must sign on to the system i as a user with *SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authorities.
• An FTP connection from your PC to the system i to allow transfer of the save files.

This fix pack is available as a set of related zip files. You only need to download those that relate to product options you have installed.

Fix pack 032 is a prerequisite for this fix pack. Fix pack 032 implemented some changes to the way fix packs are packaged and installed and your code set must be upated to that level first before later fix packs can be installed.

Install fix pack 032 first if you don't already have it. You will have 032 already and do not need to install it first if you have downloaded since July 2010.

To make absolutely sure whether you need to install fix pack 032 first, follow this procedure:

1. Run the Display Product Information command (COOLSPV6R1/DSPPRDINF, or GO BASEMENU option 6)

2. Press F11 to view Version/PTF information. If F11 is not available, your code pre-dates fix pack 032 and you DO need to install fix pack 032.

3. You DO NOT need to install fix pack 032 if:

   either

   (a) the value in the Code Level column is greater than or equal to 032;

   or

   (b) a fix pack ending in a number greater than or equal to 032 is shown in the Applied column for both the Code PTF and Language PTF sections.
