PC*MILER-AS/400 MVS User’s Guide 13

3.1 Installation Overview

On the AS/400 side you will be performing a RSTLIB on your ALKMVS or

ALKMTL (for Tolls) Library CD.

On the PC side there is a two-step process for each version of PC*MILER that

you will be installing.

 Installation of the base PC*MILER product. This installation serves as the

highway network “database” for your MVS server .

 Addition of the MVS components by unzipping self-extracting Zip files.

Finally you will be installing the MVS Server software via a self-extracting Zip

file and then configuring two InI files and a batch file.

NOTE: Required PC to AS/400 Connectivity Software is not provided by ALK.

You need to have IBM’s Client Access Express installed.

NOTE: For upgrade users adding V27 to an existing MVS server, there were no

updates to the ALKMVS or ALKMTL libraries so your shipment will only

include the PC-side installation DVD.

3.2 AS/400 Side Installation

First install the resident AS/400 software on your AS/400. Sign on to QSECOFR

or an account with equivalent authorities. Place the CD in the optical drive and

follow the instructions below.

NOTE For ALKMVS Upgrades:

If your current AS400.exe is dated 1/7/2005 or older you must update your

ALKMVS library. On 6/10/2005 ALK increased the number of Highway

Segments per response (HS – Turn By Turn Driving Instructions) from three to

nine. Failure to upgrade your current ALKMVS Library will cause the program to

crash if HS requests are used.

NOTE for Updates Only: Type “mvsfig” or “mtlfig” from the AS/400

command line and Print Screen your current mileage settings. These settings will

be overwritten during the library restore. After the restore of the library, re-enter

these settings by running the ALKMVS/MVSFIG or ALKMTL/MTLFIG (for

Tolls) command. Make sure there are no users working in PC*MILER or

PC*MILER|Streets.

NOTE Also: If you are upgrading your ALKMVS or ALKMTL Library from an

earlier version, it is recommended that you rename or clear your current

ALKMVS or ALKMTL Library with the CLRLIB command.
