Installing HP ALLBASE/4GL
HP ALLBASE/4GL is supplied on an MPE/iX subsystem tape. The MPE/iX
AUTOINST process creates a number of groups in the SYS account, and
installs HP ALLBASE/4GL in these groups.
Installing New HP ALLBASE/4GL Systems
To complete the HP ALLBASE/4GL installation, you must create a new MPE/iX
account. You can select any name for the account, but we suggest that
you use the name HP4GLR for the HP ALLBASE/4GL run-time environment.
(The suggested account name for the HP ALLBASE/4GL developer package is
HP4GL.)
When you have created the account, you must log on to the account as
account manager and execute a command file. This command file creates a
number of groups in the new account, and then copies the HP ALLBASE/4GL
files into the appropriate groups.
To complete the HP ALLBASE/4GL run-time environment installation, perform
the following steps:
1. Create the account as follows:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS
:NEWACCT HP4GLR,MGR;PASS=password;CAP=AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA,PH
The password can be any valid MPE/iX password, or you may choose
to not have a password on the account.
2. Copy the files as follows:
:HELLO MGR.HP4GLR
:HP4BLDR.HP4GLR.SYS
This executes the command file HP4BLDR.HP4GLR.SYS, which copies a number
of files from the HP4GLR.SYS group to the new group.
Upgrading Existing HP ALLBASE/4GL Systems
The following instructions assume that you have used the suggested name
HP4GLR as the HP ALLBASE/4GL account name. If you have used a different
name, substitute it for all occurrences of the HP4GLR name.
To complete the HP ALLBASE/4GL Run-Time Environment installation, perform
the following steps:
1. Log on to the HP4GLR account and execute the following commands:
:NEWGROUP HP4OLDSR
:HP4SCOPY.HP4GL.SYS HP4SR HP4OLDSR
:PURGEGROUP HP4SR
These commands create a new group, and copy existing HP
ALLBASE/4GL system files (S-files) to this new group as a backup
from the current S-file group. The S-file group is then purged so
that updated S-files may be copied into the HP4S group.
2. Execute the following command file from the HP4GL account:
: HP4BLDR.HP4GLR.SYS
This executes the command file HP4BLDR.HP4GLR.SYS. This file
copies a number of files from the HP4GLR.SYS group to the new
group.
3. Reload your existing applications from your original source media
or use the HP ALLBASE/4GL system files copied into the HP4OLDSR
group. For full instructions about loading applications, refer to
Chapter 6 , Administrator Utilities.
Running HP ALLBASE/4GL without HP ALLBASE/SQL
The HP ALLBASE/4GL installation procedure assumes that HP ALLBASE/SQL is
available on the MPE/iX system. If HP ALLBASE/SQL is not available, the
installation command file displays an error message. Under these
conditions, you must complete the installation procedure manually by
executing the following commands:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS
:FCOPY FROM=HP4XLNS.HP4GLR.SYS;TO=HP4XL.PUB.SYS
This copies an executable library (NMXL) file to the PUB.SYS group. This
file allows HP ALLBASE/4GL to operate without HP ALLBASE/SQL.
