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

* NOTE: This FTP command and those to follow *
* must be entered in lowercase. *

___ 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.
