Steps to Install iSeries Access for Windows on the iSeries server

This information steps you through installing the required and optional programs on the iSeries™ server.

The following steps guide you through installing iSeries Access for Windows® (5722-XE1) and optional programs on the iSeries server. You should install all required and optional programs at this time. To determine which programs to install, see Required and optional programs to install.

  1. Sign off all workstation users and end all connections.
  2. Sign on to the iSeries server with *SECOFR authority.
  3. Load the medium containing the licensed programs on the installation device. If the licensed programs are contained on more than one medium, you can load any one of them.
  4. If you are installing 5722-SS1, Option 12 (Host Servers), then you must put the iSeries server in a restricted state. To put the iSeries server in a restricted state:
    1. At the iSeries command prompt, type CHGMSGQ QSYSOPR *BREAK SEV(60) and press Enter.
    2. If the Display Messages display appears, press Enter. You will return to the iSeries command prompt.
    3. At the iSeries command prompt, type ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED and press Enter.
    4. The message System ended to restricted condition appears. Press Enter to continue.
    5. At the iSeries command prompt, type CHGMSGQ QSYSOPR SEV(95) and press Enter.
    6. If the Display Messages display appears, press Enter. You will return to the iSeries command prompt.
    The iSeries server should now be in a restricted state.
    Note: Once you are done installing everything, you can end restricted state by starting the controlling subsystem with the STRSBS command, specifying the Controlling Subsystem (QCLTLSBSD) system value.
  5. At the iSeries command prompt, type GO LICPGM, and then select Option 11. For information about option 11, see Options for displaying, installing, deleting, and saving from a list in the Information Center.
  6. Type 1 in the Option column next to each of the licensed programs that you need to install. For a list of the programs you need to install, see theRequired and optional programs to install topic. Press Enter to continue.
  7. The Confirm Install of Licensed Programs display appears. Press Enter to confirm your choices. The Install Options display appears.
  8. Specify the following values and press Enter:
    Parameter Value
    Installation Device Name of the installation device. For example, OPT01.
    Objects to Install 1
    Automatic IPL N
  9. The licensed programs will now install.
    • You will see a display that indicates the status of the installation. You do not need to respond to the status display.
    • If the licensed programs that you selected are on multiple volumes, the installation program will prompt you for a new volume. Load the next media volume, press G, and then press Enter. If you do not have any additional media volumes, press X, and then press Enter.
  10. When the installation completes, you will see the Work with Licensed Programs display.
    • If the installation ran successfully, you will see Work with licensed programs function has completed. Press F3 to return to the iSeries command prompt.
    • If the installation failed, you will see Work with licensed programs function not complete. See Install, upgrade, or delete i5/OS™ and related software to determine the problem.
  11. Verify that iSeries Access for Windows installed correctly by typing CHKPRDOPT 5722XE1 at the iSeries command prompt. If iSeries Access for Windows installed correctly, you will receive a message that CHKPRDOPT did not detect any errors.
  12. Install the latest cumulative PTF package on the iSeries server. See Get and Install PTFs for information installing PTFs. (Note that whenever you have installed the latest cumulative package and you have not installed 5722-XE1, you need to install all 5722-XE1 service pack PTFs from the cumulative PTF package after installing 5722-XE1.)
