T4 Install

[Douglass Anderson]

I downloaded T4 for OpenVMS. Is there install notes on how to install the program?

[Martin Vorlaender · Accepted solution]

Douglass,

the kit should contain a file T4_Vxx_KIT.TXT which has the installation instructions. I'm appending it in case yours doesn't.

Personally, I created a T4 account to run the command file under. The account's PGFLQUO must be set to 500000, not 200000 as the instructions suggest (for V3.3).

cu,
Martin

Did you get the new kit from?
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/OpenVMS/products/t4/index.html

you install it

$ PRODUCT INSTALL T4
then
@ T4$CONFIG

[Martin Vorlaender]

Thanks, Ian. Seems I missed V4.0 (which calls itself V3.4 during installation... ;-)

Anyway, a more verbose setup should be along the lines of:

1. $ PRODUCT INSTALL T4

(when you're on an ODS-5 disk, make suree the PCSI file name is UPPERCASE)

2. Define T4$SYS as suggested by the PCSI installation, and (optionally) T4$DATA (also /SYSTEM/EXEC) as the directory to hold the result files (needs LOTS of space).

3. (optional) Create an account T4 with PRCLM =20, TQELM=100, PGFLQUO=500000; or make sure the account T4 is to run under meets those.

4. PROCESS Accounting must be enabled.

5. (optional) Log in to the T4 account.

6. $ @T4$SYS:T4$CONFIG and answer the questions. A description of the questions is in the TXT file of V3.3 I attached.

HTH,
Martin

I downloaded the file, but I get the error.

$ product install T4

Douglass,

the download has not preserved the file name:

$ RENAME HP-VMS-T4-V0400--1.;1 HP-VMS-T4-V0400--1.PCSI$COMPRESSED

Then try again,

Volker.

[Douglass Anderson]

That worked perfectly. I set the logicals but I get the following error.

$ @T4$SYS:T4$CONFIG

Did I miss a logical?

[Volker Halle]

Douglass,

did you define the T4$SYS logical in EXEC mode ?

$ DEFIN/SYS/EXEC T4$SYS ...

Check with SHOW LOG/FULL T4$SYS

Should show:

T4$SYS" [exec] = ...

Volker.

[Douglass Anderson]

I did this.

$ define/system/exec T4$SYS DISK$ALPHASYS:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.T4$SYS]
%DCL-I-SUPERSEDE, previous value of T4$SYS has been superseded
$ SHOW LOG/FULL T4$SYS
"T4$SYS" [super] = "DISK$ALPHASYS:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.T4$SYS]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

[Volker Halle]

Douglass,

that's why I asked for the SHOW LOG/FULL ;-)

"T4$SYS" [super] <<<<<<<<<

You've once defined the logical incorrectly (without /EXEC) and have not yet deleted that incorrect definition.

$ DEASS/SYS T4$SYS

and then it will work...

Volker.

[Douglass Anderson]

nope. still does not work...

$ DEASS/SYS T4$SYS
$ SHOW LOG/FULL T4$SYS
%SHOW-S-NOTRAN, no translation for logical name T4$SYS
$ define/exec/system T4$SYS DISK$ALPHASYS:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.T4$SYS]
$ SHOW LOG/FULL T4$SYS
"T4$SYS" [super] = "DISK$ALPHASYS:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.T4$SYS]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

[Volker Halle]

Douglass,

your process is missing SYSNAM privilege, so the logical name gets created in SUPER mode (instead of EXEC mode). See HELP DEFINE/EXEC

Try again with:

$ SET PROC/PRIV=SYSNAM
$ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC T4$SYS ...

You don't need to try @T4$CONFIG, unless the logical name T4$SYS is actually defined as an [exec] mode logical name.

Volker.

Douglass:
Before you issue the define/exec/system command, make sure you have enabled privilages for your process. Otherwise, vms will ignore the "exec" option. It also fails to generate anything like an error or warning message when it does this.

e.g.
$ set process/priv=all
$ define/exec/system T4$SYS DISK$ALPHASYS:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.T4$SYS]
$ SHOW LOG/FULL T4$SYS

The commands you gave me worked.
New at this, did not close it sooner.
