Installation Steps

You need product codes, product keys, and the product media available to perform the installation. The installation process involves three main steps: create directories, extract the files from the Saveset onto your machine, and then copy certain files to specific directories.

Perform these installation steps using the SYSTEM account:

Create the directories in which you want your files to reside.
These instructions use the directory structure shown in Before You Begin, and is referred to as "path".
If the product files reside on a CD-ROM or tape, first make the media accessible for the system.
For example, to extract the files from a CD-ROM in device DQA0:, insert the CD-ROM into drive DQA0:, then type the following commands:
```
ALLOCATE DQA0: 
MOUNT/NOASSIST/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DQA0:
```
These commands reserve the device so that no other process can access it. If you misspelled the device specification, or if the device is already in use, you will get a corresponding message after a short while.
Identify the directory in which the Saveset resides by entering the following command.
You will need this information to extract the product files in the next step.
```
DIRECTORY DQA0:[000000...]*.BCK 
```
The Saveset is called "COBOL.BCK" and typically resides in a directory called "[ACUCOBOL]". If you find more than one Saveset and you don't know which one to use, contact Micro Focus.
Extract the files from the Saveset to the directory in which the files should be installed.
For example:
```
SET DEFAULT DKA100:[ACUCOBOL.800]
```
Then enter the command:
```
BACKUP/LOG DQA0:[ACUCOBOL]COBOL.BCK/SAVE_SET DKA100:[ACUCOBOL.800...]*
```
Note that the two lines above are one command, and that the qualifier "/SAVE_SET" is always required when accessing Savesets on disks.

After extracting the release files from the product media, read the "RELEASE" file if present. The RELEASE file contains changes to the compiler not covered in the documentation.

If you copied the Saveset via FTP to your system, use the BACKUP command above, replacing the source specification with the name and path of your Saveset.
Define symbols so that users can access the executables.
Define one symbol each for the compiler, the runtime system, the object file utility, and the Vision file utility for every user who will use ACUCOBOL-GT. You also need to define a symbol for the Activator utility for the system administrator. If you are installing AcuConnect, define a symbol for that product as well. If you want to allow everyone to have access to an executable, you can place the command in the "SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM". Otherwise, place it in the "LOGIN.COM" file for each user who requires access.

Use the following commands to define these symbols:
```
CCBL == "$disk:[directory]CCBL.EXE"
RUNCBL == "$disk:[directory]RUNCBL.EXE"
CBLUTIL == "$disk:[directory]CBLUTIL.EXE"
VIO == "$disk:[directory]VIO.EXE"
ACTIVATOR == "$disk:[directory]ACTIVATOR.EXE"
ACURCL == "$disk:[directory]ACURCL.EXE"
```
Using the directory structure shown in Before You Begin, the first command would look like this:
```
CCBL == "$DKA100:[ACUCOBOL.800.ACUROOT.BIN]CCBL.EXE"
```
Log out and back in to get the ACUCOBOL symbols defined for you.

Note: The use of the dollar sign indicates to VMS that these symbols represent executable programs.
Copy the file "A_TERMS.DAT" to the SYS$LIBRARY directory.
Make sure it has read and execute permission for everyone by using the following command:
```
SET SECURITY/PROTECTION=(W:RE) SYS$LIBRARY:A_TERMS.DAT  
```
Copy the file "CBLHELP.DAT" to the SYS$HELP directory.
Make sure it too has read and execute permission for everyone by using the following command:
```
SET SECURITY/PROTECTION=(W:RE) SYS$HELP:CBLHELP.DAT  
```
Copy the file "A_CONFIG.DAT" to the SYS$LIBRARY directory.
You may need to edit this file. In particular, you should configure it to support the printers you have attached to your system. The ACUCOBOL-GT User's Guide contains details about the configuration file.
Change to the directory where your executables reside and start the License Activator by issuing the command:
```
ACTIVATOR 
```
At the prompt, type the product code and product key that came with your product package. When you press Enter after typing in each code and key pair, the license file is created. Repeat this cycle until the code/key pairs for each product you have ordered are entered.
Change your DEFAULT to the directory that contains the ACUCOBOL-GT sample programs. (For example: SET DEFAULT DKA100:[ACUCOBOL.800.ACUROOT.SAMPLE]).
Then try compiling and running the "tour" demonstration program with the following commands:
```
CCBL TOUR.CBL
RUNCBL TOUR
```
Note: The compiler and runtime make use of the VAX shared library "vaxcrtl.exe". This file must be in the SYS$SHARE directory. Install this file as a shared image for multi-user performance.

If you have a VT100-compatible terminal, you should be able to run this program. To make use of some of the more advanced features of your particular terminal (or if you do not have a VT100 compatible), configure your terminal as outlined in the ACUCOBOL-GT User's Guide > Terminal Manager.
For AcuConnect, create a server access file and set user account quotas to define each user's capabilities.
Refer to, AcuConnect User's Guide > The AcuConnect Server > Installing AcuConnect on an OpenVMS Server for information about these settings.
