Preface
This book describes how to use AppTrack to install and maintain
Application Server Licenses.
Audience
This book is for:
- Programmers and system designers using Server Express to create COBOL
applications that are subsequently to be shipped to other UNIX systems
- Users of applications created with Server Express by a third-party
(if no license installation instructions have been provided)
It assumes you are familiar with the general concepts of business
computing and of using and administering UNIX systems.
Notations and Conventions
- Enter refers to the carriage return or Enter key. Where
commands to be typed are shown, the Enter key is not explicitly shown;
it is treated as implicit that Enter must be pressed at the end of the
line.
- Keytops and menu choices are emboldened within the text.
- In some environments, you might notice that what appears on your
screen differs in minor ways (for example, version numbers) from that
illustrated in this book. This will not affect the operation of your
software.
- The keys described in this book are not available in all
environments.Some keystrokes using function keys or the Alt or Ctrl keys
are not available on all UNIX platforms. The Server Express
User's Guide contains the appendix UNIX
Key Usage Chart, listing how the keystrokes shown in the books
map onto actual keystrokes.
The notation used to describe the format of command lines is as follows:
- Words printed in italics are generic terms representing names to be
devised by you.
- Material enclosed in square brackets [ ] is optional.
- When material is enclosed in braces { }, you must choose from the
options within them. If there is only one option in the braces, the
braces indicate repetition.
- The ellipsis (. . .) follows { } or [ ] and means you can repeat the
material in the { } or [ ]. The number of repetitions allowed is
unlimited unless otherwise stated. If the ellipsis is used with [ ] the
material can be omitted altogether.
- If a command line does not fit across the page, it is continued on
the next line; the continuation line is indented.
- Command line options can be specified as /option or -option.
