Install Web Option

For Web Option itself, there are two libraries that need to be installed on the IBM i. These libraries are shipped as Y2WEB and Y2WEBVENG. In this document, where "Web Option library" or Web Option product library" is used this should be taken to mean Y2WEB.

To install the Web Option libraries

  1. Sign on to the IBM i with a user profile that has both *ALLOBJ and *IOSYSCFG special authorities.

    Your library list must include the following libraries (or their renamed or merged equivalents):

    The order of the libraries is not important.

  2. To restore the new version of the licensing library YLUSLIB0 and create and update the library YLUSLIB on your system, follow the instructions in your licensing document containing the Web Option Authorization codes.

    Note: If you have not received this authorization document, contact CA to obtain one. You cannot perform any further installation and initialization steps until you are correctly authorized.

  3. If a previous release of Web Option is already installed on your IBM i, ensure no one is using it and rename the libraries (for example, to Y2WEBSAV and Y2WEBVSAV).
  4. Change the YW2ELDORFA data area in the renamed product library to point to the renamed LDO library. Ensure these renamed libraries are in your library list: 
    RNMOBJ OBJ(Y2WEB) OBJTYPE(*LIB) NEWOBJ(Y2WEBSAV)
RNMOBJ OBJ(Y2WEBVENG) OBJTYPE(*LIB) NEWOBJ(Y2WEBVSAV)
CHGDTAARA DTAARA(Y2WEBSAV/YW2ELDORFA) VALUE(Y2WEBVSAV)
ADDLIBLE LIB(Y2WEBSAV) POSITION(*LAST)
ADDLIBLE LIB(Y2WEBVSAV) POSITION(*BEFORE Y2WEBSAV)
  5. Restore the shipped Web Option libraries using RSTLIB (Restore Library command): 
    RSTLIB SAVLIB(Y2WEB) DEV(device-name) RSTLIB(*SAVLIB)
RSTLIB SAVLIB(Y2WEBVENG) DEV(device-name) RSTLIB(*SAVLIB)
  6. Add the restored Web Option libraries to your library list. 
    ADDLIBLE LIB(Y2WEB) POSITION(*FIRST)
ADDLIBLE LIB(Y2WEBVENG) POSITION(*BEFORE Y2WEB

The installation process that you perform depends on which of the following situations applies to you; choose only one of the following sets of steps:
