Setup.ini file

Your plug-in's setup.ini file provides the installation wizard with the information needed to install an iSeries™ Navigator plug-in on a client workstation. It also provides information that allows the Check Service Level program to determine when the plug-in needs to be upgraded or serviced.

The file must be named SETUP.INI, and it must reside in the primary <vendor>.<component> directory for the plug-in on the iSeries server.

The format of the file conforms to that of a standard Windows^® configuration (.INI) file. The file is divided into four parts:

• Plug-in information
• Service
• Sections to identify the files to install on the client workstation
• Sections to identify exit programs to run on the client workstation

• Example: Information section of setup.ini
  Descriptions of the global information fields needed in the setup.ini file
• Example: Service section of setup.ini
  The fields in this section of the setup.ini file contain the information used by the Check Service Level program
• Example: Identify files section of setup.ini
  This part of the setup.ini file contains the informations that identifies the files to be installed on the client workstation.
• Example: Exit programs section of the setup.ini
  The final portion of the setup file contains sections that identify the programs that are to be run on the client workstation before or after an install, upgrade or an uninstall.
