Install Databridge DMSII Client

You must install Databridge components on both the primary and secondary systems. Before you install DMSII Client on the secondary system, you must install the current version of Databridge Host software on your primary system. See Install Databridge Host of this guide for Host installation instructions and system requirements.

Follow this procedure to install the DMSII Client. You can install DMSII Client to the same mainframe where you installed the Databridge server software, or you can install it to a different mainframe.

Before you install, you'll need to determine the usercode and pack that you'll use to install. For best results, we recommend that you choose a privileged usercode and the primary pack of the FAMILY substitution statement.

To install Databridge DMSII Client

  1. Sign on to a privileged usercode.

    If you install to a nonprivileged usercode, all object files will be marked as restricted and you will have to use the ODT command RESTRICT – FILE objectcode on every program.

  2. Upload Databridge container to the host.Upload the DB66-00-BASE file using a file transfer tool capable of binary/image transfers to the privileged usercode where Databridge is to be installed.

  3. Unwrap the Databridge installation WFL (WFL/DATABRIDGE/INSTALL).

    To extract the install WFL from the file DB66-00-BASE, enter the following CANDE command:

    WFL UNWRAP *WFL/DATABRIDGE/INSTALL AS WFL/DATABRIDGE/INSTALL OUTOF DB66-00-BASE
  4. Start the Databridge Installation WFL.

    START WFL/DATABRIDGE/INSTALL ("DMSIICLIENT")

    If you want to install DMSII Client software to a different pack family than primary pack of your FAMILY substitution statement (FAMILY DISK = primarypack OTHERWISE secondarypack), use the following command instead.

    START WFL/DATABRIDGE/INSTALL ("DMSIICLIENT", "
         otherpack")
        

The WFLs are copied with a SAMPLE node in the title. They will also be copied without the SAMPLE node using the ADD command so that first-time installations will have WFL files with the standard name but existing WFL files are not replaced.
