Manually Installed Products

ODBCLink Installation

Traditionally, ODBCLink/SE was included in patches for ALLBASE/SQL and IMAGE/SQL

products. The product structure has been changed in MPE/iX 6.0 Express 1, so that

ODBCLink/SE is delivered as a separate patch, resulting in more ﬂexibility in upgrading

the product.

When the ODBCLink/SE patch is applied, the following ﬁles are placed in ODBCSE.SYS:

HFSFILES.ODBCSE.SYS

I00IODBC.ODBCSE.SYS

HPREADME.ODBCSE.SYS

Stream I00IODBC.ODBCSE.SYS to install the new version of the product. The existing

version of ODBCLink/SE will not be upgraded until this job is streamed.

I00IODBC.ODBCSE.SYS purges ﬁles belonging to the existing version of the product from

ODBCSE.SYS and installs new ﬁles. You may need to upgrade ODBCLink/SE drivers on

your client PCs to work with the new version of the server. For information on how to

upgrade your client PCs, see chapter 3 of ODBCLINK/SE Reference Manual.

Installing Non-HP (Third Party) Software

Consult the appropriate manuals for installation procedures for non-HP software

products.

Problems can occur if you install third-party products on your system and rename system

ﬁles to run the software. Do not use the SYSFILE> RSPROG command in the SYSGEN utility

to rename HP-supplied MPE/iX system ﬁles. A renamed system ﬁle can corrupt your

system during an update.

Use the SHOW command in SYSFILE to ensure that all HP-supplied MPE/iX system ﬁles

retain their original names. In the SHOW command output, system ﬁle names in both

columns should be identical. If they do not match, rename the ﬁles in the second column to

the ﬁle names in the ﬁrst column or use ﬁle equations to do so.
