Installing older versions of iSeries Tools for Developers

Versions of iSeries™ Tools for Developers PRPQ (5799PTL) ordered before 14 June 2002, PRPQ do not include a pre-compiled i5/OS™ PASE-enabled version of Virtual Network Computing (VNC).

Use the following instructions to determine if you have the enhanced PRPQ and to install VNC if you have an older version of the PRPQ.

Determine whether you have the enhanced PRPQ

If you own PRPQ 5799-PTL but are not sure whether you have the enhanced version that contains VNC, check for the existence of the following file:

     /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools/vnc/vncserver_java

The enhanced version of the PRPQ includes the vncserver_java file, but older versions do not. If vncserver_java is not present on your iSeries server, you can either order and install the latest version of the PRPQ or use the following instructions to complete the VNC installation.

Install VNC

To install VNC on an older version of iSeries Tools for Developers PRPQ, complete the following steps.

Create the save files on your iSeries server by running the following commands:

     crtlib vncsavf
     crtsavf vncsavf/vncpasswd
     crtsavf vncsavf/vnc
     crtsavf vncsavf/fonts
     crtsavf vncsavf/icewm

Download the save files to your workstation from the iSeries Virtual Innovation Center Web site.

Use FTP to transfer the save files from your workstation to the iSeries server by running the following commands on your workstation:

     ftp youriseriesserver
     bin
     cd /qsys.lib/vncsavf.lib
     put vnc.savf
     put vncpasswd.savf
     put fonts.savf
     put icewm.savf
     quit

Restore the save files by running the following commands on your iSeries server:

     RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(VNCSAVF) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(VNCSAVF/VNCPASSWD)
     RST DEV('/Qsys.lib/vncsavf.lib/vnc.file') OBJ(('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools/vnc*'))
     RST DEV('/Qsys.lib/vncsavf.lib/fonts.file') OBJ(('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools/fonts*'))
     RST DEV('/Qsys.lib/vncsavf.lib/icewm.file') OBJ(('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools/icewm*'))
