Information Access Server: System Management

Installing IMSAM 

To use IMSAM keyed access to IMAGE databases, you must install the
OMNIDEX Information Management System's (IMS) segments in the appropriate
places.  These segments are for Omnidex keyword retrieval and IMSAM.

The Access Server programs HDSP.PPC.SYS and ADMIN.PPC.SYS communicate
with the OMNIDEX IMSAM intrinsics DBIOPEN, DBIINFO,DBIGET, and DBICLOSE.
On MPE/V, these intrinsics are called via the Call Conversion procedures
provided by OMNIDEX. On MPE/XL, these intrinsics are called directly from
the OMNIDEX Native Mode Intrinsics Library XL.PUB.DISC.

Installing IMSAM 

To install the IMSAM segments on MPE/V:.   

   1.  Install the OMNIDEX IMS product.

   2.  Install the segments in USL.PUB.DISC into SL.PUB.SYS. USL.PUB.DISC
       contains the OMNIDEX IMS Intrinsics segments.  These segments
       contain all the Omnidex and IMSAM instrinsics that are called by
       procedures in the Call Conversion segments.

       For instructions on how to install these segments into
       SL.PUB.SYS, see "The Intrinsics Segmented Library" in Chapter 7,
       "Programming," in the OMNIDEX Information Management System 
       Reference Manual.

   3.  If you do not have the Resource Sharing product, copy SL.CC.DISC
       to SL.PPC.SYS. SL.CC.DISC contains the Call Conversion segments.

   4.  If you have the Resource Sharing product, then SL.PPC.SYS already
       exists and you need to install the segments in USL.CC.DISC into
       SL.PPC.SYS. (The same segments reside in USL.CC.DISC and
       SL.CC.DISC.) Install the Call Conversion segments from USL.CC.DISC
       into SL.PPC.SYS. Instructions on how to install these segments are
       found in "The Call Conversion Segmented Library" section in
       Chapter 7, "Programming," in the OMNIDEX Information Management 
       System Reference Manual. 


NOTE On MPE/V, remember to always run ADMIN.PPC.SYS with LIB=G.
To install the IMSAM segments on MPE/XL:. 1. Install the OMNIDEX IMS product (version 2.04). 2. Make sure that the OMNIDEX Native Mode Intrinsic Library, which contains the instrinsics segments, is located in XL.PUB.DISC. These two steps are all that is needed for installation on MPE/XL. Access Server makes dynamic calls to the appropriate IMSAM intrinsics.
