6.6.2 How to install the EISFR Workstation Application


To install a copy of EISFR on your workstation, complete
the following checklist:

___ 1.  Download ACTESFRZ from sharedprefix.MICS.BIN.

        To use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to transfer
        ACTESFRZ to your Microsoft Windows Workstation,
        perform the following steps in order:

        ___ a.  Open a DOS command window.

        ___ b.  Start the FTP program using the following:

                FTP <hostname>

                where <hostname> is the machine name or the
                IP address of the z/OS system.

                Supply the host userid and password as
                prompted.

        ___ c.  Set binary transfer mode by entering the
                following command:

                binary

        ___ d.  Set the name of the host data set with the
                following:

                cd 'sharedprefix.MICS.BIN'

        ___ e.  Set the directory name of the workstation
                directory to hold ACTESFRZ with the following
                command:

                lcd <directory>

                where <directory> is a directory "name" on
                the workstation that will contain ACTESFRZ.
                Generally, this is a temporary or working
                directory (for example, "C:\TEMP").

        ___ f.  Transfer the installation file to the
                workstation with the following command:

                get ACTESFRZ ACTESFRZ.EXE

                This will copy ACTESFRZ to the directory
                specified in step e and rename it to
                ACTESFRZ.EXE.

        ___ g.  Once the transfer is complete, exit FTP by
                entering:

                quit

        While this example uses FTP to perform the actual
        transfer, other utilities (such as IND$FILE) can be
        used.  Whichever program will be used, it must be
        able to transfer from the host to the workstation
        without performing any character translation (that
        is, EBCDIC to ASCII).

___ 2.  Run ACTESFRZ.EXE.  This starts the self-extracting
        process.  You will be prompted for a location in
        which to store the unzipped files.

___ 3.  Once you have successfully completed the
        installation, you can delete ACTESFRZ.EXE.
