Transfer the Product Libraries from CD to System i

Before restoring the CA Plex System i product libraries, you must first transfer the files from the CD to your System i. These instructions assume you have TCP/IP installed, configured, and active on your System i, otherwise, you cannot continue. Contact your System i System Administrator about installing TCP/IP.

To transfer System i (binary) files from the CD to your System i

1. Get the IP address (for example, nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn), or the symbolic name (myas400.mycompany.com), of your destination System i from your System i System Administrator.
2. Log on to your PC.
3. Insert the CA Plex CD into an accessible CD-ROM drive.
4. Open a command line window on your PC.
5. Change drives to the location of your CD-ROM drive.
6. Type cd as400libs, and press Enter.
7. Type ftp, and press Enter.

   This starts an FTP session.

8. Type open nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is your System i TCP/IP address—you can substitute the symbolic name for the IP address), and press Enter.

   You are successfully connected if you are prompted for your user profile.

   Note: If the session is idle for more than five minutes after you have connected, then the system automatically closes the connection. To restart the session, you must start the procedure over at Step 7.

9. Type your System i user profile at the prompt, and press Enter.
10. Type your System i password at the prompt, and press Enter.

    Note: The cursor does not move when you are entering the password.

    The system replies that your user profile is logged on.

11. Type quote site namefmt 1, and press Enter.

    Note: There must be a blank space between namefmt and 1.

    The system replies that the user is now using naming format 1.

    Note: You must specify 1 as the naming format.

12. Type bin, and press Enter to set the binary format.
13. Type cd qgpl.lib, and press Enter.

    Note: You can specify another existing library in place of QGPL; the .lib extension is required.

    The system replies that the current library is changed to QGPL.

14. Enter put plex700.savf, and press Enter. The time to transfer the file varies depending on your network speed.

    Note: The .savf extension is required.

    The system replies that the file transfer is completed successfully.

15. Repeat Step 14 for ytutorial.savf, ytutrefer.savf, and appintobj.savf.
16. Enter quit, and press Enter.

    This stops your FTP session.

17. Exit the command line session.

You can now restore the *SAVF files.
