Installing CA Gen on NonStop › Installation Considerations for NonStop

Installation Considerations for NonStop

With CA Gen, you develop and generate an application on one platform and build it in a target environment you create on a different platform. Before building a distributed processing application on NonStop, you install the Implementation Toolset (IT) to establish the target environment.

The IT uses TACL environment variables that specify paths and other configuration information.

Note: For information about using TACL, see the HP NonStop documentation.

IT installation involves running macros that prompt you to enter or accept default values for site-specific configuration information for NonStop. Specify the following details to install the Implementation Toolset:

• The #PMSEARCHLIST environment variable includes a list of the volumes and subvolumes to search for program and macro files.
• The MAKEHOME macro called to set #PMSEARCHLIST.
• TACLCSTM file customizes your individual TACL environment.
• TACLLOCL file customizes the TACL environment for all users of a NonStop system.
• Pathmon process name to assign to the Setup Tool.
• Terminal that is used as the home terminal on NonStop for various processes that are related to the IT and the Setup Tool.
• Group and user ID ownership for Implementation Toolset files.
• Location to use for the IT installation.
• Read access to the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.PATHTCP2 file. The installation process makes a copy of this file during the Setup Tool installation.
• Rules for naming files on the file system.
• The Setup Tool must be able to register its application catalog against the SQL/MP system catalog during the installation process.
