WEA Level 2 Emulation, Access, and GUI Clients

This web page contains instructions for several types of software and associated methodology for using terminal emulation to connect to other systems.

Accessing Miscellaneous Software For Installation

1) Connect as network drive "pvcsvr" machine (i.e. from DOS Command prompt "net  use  *  \\pvcsvr\software  /u:wpsadmin").  You will be prompted for password.

Other software is on "mpfa" (i.e from DOS Command prompt "net  use  *  \\mpfa\C$   /u:Administrator"

(Note that with the normal IBM W2k installation you might be queried by "ConfigSafe" to create a snapshot of your system before installing any new software, do this at your own discretion)

7) At this point you have the option of saving this connection as an icon. To do so, from the top menu bar select "File", pull down to "Save As", and enter the name you wish for your icon. Save the file in the directory "C:\Program Files\IBM\Personal Communications\private".  

8) Once you leave this session, and you wish to start another session, simply perform step 1 above, and in the "IBM Personal Comunications - Session Manager" panel, click "Start", and in the "Open Workstation Profile" dialog box, navigate to the directory you saved the file in in step 7, and open that file. You will be connected as usual.
 

Mainframe Access Software Download

(Steve, check this!)

To load the Personal Communications Software from the IBM Standard Software installer web page connect to url http://w3-1.ibm.com/download/standardsoftware/index.html and select a location (North America). In the bar at the top of this page select "Windows NT".  In the "WINDOWS NT PRODUCT CATALOG" web page select "All Applications", then select "IBM Personal Communications v4.3.1.1". Select the drive you wish the software to be installed on and click "Install Now"”.  In the next pop-up, select "Save to disk", and use the default path. After the installation you will probably have to restart your computer.



Creating a Session Macro

You can create macros to execute the normal sequence of commands for a particular mainframe session. This is done by using the "Record" mechanism within the Personal Communication System (PCS).

After you have successfully displayed the "Session" panel with the "IBM Global Services / South Service Center" session (or at any point after that) click the "Record" button at the top of the session window. You will be prompted for a filename for your macro. Once you have selected a filename you are in the record mode. Go through the sequence of commands you wish to record (i.e.go through the set of Retain commands required to get you to the "read" section of a session), then click the "Stop" button at the top of your PCS session window.

From then on you should be able doubleclick on the "Start a macro/script" button (looks like the play button on a VCR/tape deck) on the top of your PCS session window. You will be queried for the macro name, select it and click "OK". Your macro should begin executing all the commands you recorded.

13) In the "X server tune-up" panel, let it tune, click "Next". (wait a minth).

14) In the "Hummingbird Setup Wizard Completed" panel, click "Finish" and then close the "Hummingbird Master Setup" panel.


Configuring and Using Hummingbird Exceed

1) From the Windows "Start" button, select "Programs", "Hummingbird Connectivity 7.0", "Exceed", and click on "Xconfig". In the Password popup, enter the password entered during the installation process and click "OK".

2) The "exceed.cfg - Xconfig" window will pop up, double click on the "Screen Definition" icon.  In this window, within the "Screen0" tab, under the "Window Mode", select "Multiple", and in the "Window Manager" field, select "Native", then click "OK" and close the "exceed.cfg - Xconfig" panel.

3) From the Windows "Start" button, select "Programs", "Exceed", "Hummingbird Connectivity 7.0", "Exceed", and select "XStart". In the "Untitled - Xstart Client Startup Application" window, in the following fields enter the appropriate data:

                   Start Method:           REXEC (TCP/IP)
                   Program Type:         X Window
                   Login/Userid:          (your account name on the Unix/Linux/AIX server)
                   Login/Password:    (your password)
                   Login/Host:             ewok.raleigh.ibm.com   (or the full domain name for the server)
                   Host Type:              IBM AIX

(in the following fields, substitute YOUR machine's IP address (obtained from the DOS prompt using the command "ipconfig /all" in the "PPP adapter AT&T Network Client" "IP Address" field"), and do not forget the ":0.0". The title is optional, and if you wish to use it, substitute "yourtitle" for what you wish)

                   Login/Command:    @(XTerm, method=stdappdb) -title yourtitle -display 12.65.37.113:0.0 -sb &
                   Login/Prompt:         (click "none" radio button (= on))

4) From the "Untitled - Xstart Client Startup Application" window menu bar click "File" and "Save As" and create a filename for your configuration.

5) From Xstart menu bar click "Run" to start an Xwindow. An xterm window should appear on your desktop.

6) You have the option to create a program group and icon for this session.  To add a program group, from the "Xstart Client Startup Application" menu bar click "Install", and for the "Program Group Description" enter the value that should be equal to filename created above.  Click "OK".  A Program Group window should appear. Click on filename/icon to invoke creation of a window (or alternatively drag the icon to your desktop).

Note:  When logging onto some AIX machines your ".profile" might not be executed.  If this is the case, it might be necessary to issue the command:

             . ./.profile     (that's dot, one space, dot, forward slash, dot, "profile")

If there is a "export DISPLAY" assignment in this profile, it might change the IP address which you might have to reassign to your desktop machine (i.e. "export DISPLAY=12.65.37.113:0.0" (no quotes, use your desktop machine's IP from step 3 above)).
 
7) Once you export your display you should be able to test your installation by displaying the clock. From the AIX command prompt, enter "xclock  &", and a graphic clock should appear (you might be queried whether you are willing to display through your security/firewall, tell it yes).


Note: For cable modem (i.e. "Roadrunner"), you must install the "Sign On" software, which can you can get from IBM ISSI or you can order the ISSI CDs, but you need to register to SINE (which is the "Sign on" software for Road Runner).  You will use your normal IBM Global Network ID and password for this access . (Note the author lives just outside the outskirts of civilization , so has never tried this with a cable modem)

The Netscape 7 browser is located on the WEA Test dept server "wea2aix6".

1)  Create the disk access point (i.e. "mkdir   /WEA"), and then mount the directory (i.e. "mount  wea2aix6:/WEA  /WEA"). (Note: In the directory "/WEA/tools/shayden", there is a profile ".profile" that you can execute which has several aliases that are useful (to execute it, change to the directory and type ".  ./.profile" (thats  dot, space, dot, slash, dot, "profile". Within that profile is an alias "mw" which performs the actions in this step).

2) Make a directory on your server (i.e. "mkdir /Netscape7"), and change to that directory.

3) Copy the Netscape 7 software to this directory ("cp  -fpR   /WEA/inst.images/Netscape7   .").

4) Execute the command  "rpm  -ivh  *rpm".

5) Run the smitty utility, and press "Return" 3 times to get to the "Install Software" panel, and in the "Input device/directory for software" field enter a period "." and press "Return".

6) In the resulting panel, move to the "Accept new license agreement" field, press the "Tab" key to change the value to "Yes", then press "Enter".  You will be prompted for confirmation, press "Enter" and the software will be installed. Once the "OK" is displayed, exit smitty.

7) From the AIX command prompt, type "netscape7 &" and the Netscape 7 browser will be displayed.
