Required and optional programs to install

Verify which programs to install, depending on the iSeries™ Access for Windows® functions that are used.

As you go through this topic, make note of the programs you need to install. The names are needed as you walk through the installation steps.

Note: The iSeries Access for Windows primary language on the iSeries server is set to the first iSeries Access for Windows language that you install. However, if you install a subsequent iSeries Access for Windows language that matches the i5/OS™ primary language, that language becomes the new iSeries Access for Windows primary language on the iSeries server.

Required licensed program options

Table 1. Required programs to install for iSeries Access for Windows
Program Option Description
5722-SS1 12 Host Servers
5722-XE1 Base iSeries Access for Windows
5722-XW1 Base, 1 iSeries Access Family
5722-TC1   TCP/IP Utilities
Note: Each product that you install needs to be at the latest level.
Notes:
  1. You only need to install iSeries Access Family 5722-XW1 Base and Option 1 if you want to use Data Transfer, PC5250 Display, or Printer Emulation.
  2. 5722-XE1 does not necessarily have to be installed on your server. Nevertheless, you need to install 5722–XE1 if you want to use the following parts of iSeries Access for Windows:
    • Service Pack management
    • Secondary Language support
    • Install and Selective Setup through the iSeries server
  3. To use 5722-XW1, update the usage limit for the 5722-XW1 product on your server by doing the following:
    1. Type the WRKLICINF command on the iSeries server to which you intend to connect. A list of products appears.
    2. Type 2 in the entry field next to the product 5722XW1 Base, Feature 5050. Change the usage limit to the number of licenses that you have purchased for iSeries Access Family. If you have purchased the processor-based option for iSeries Access Family, enter the value *NOMAX for usage limit. Entering any number that exceeds the purchased limit violates the IBM® license agreement.
  4. To use 5722-XW1, enter the license key information by doing the following:
    1. Type the WRKLICINF command on the iSeries server to which you intend to connect. A list of products appears.
    2. Type 1 in the entry field next to the product 5722XW1 Option 1, Feature 5101. Enter the license key information.
      Note: ADDLICKEY values for Usage Limit and Processor Group for Feature 5101:
      • In the Usage Limit field on the ADDLICKEY display, always enter the value *NOMAX, as indicated on your key sheet, regardless of the usage limit entered for 5722XW1 Base (Feature 5050) when you updated your usage limit. The usage limit value of *NOMAX is required as part of the software key, but it is not a representation of the number of users licensed under a usage based license.
      • In the Processor Group field on the ADDLICKEY display, enter the value *ANY for a user-based license. A processor-based license will have a processor group value that corresponds to the processor group licensed.
