Once you have defined and validated the LANDP common definitions and workgroups, the next stage is to generate and distribute the LANDP files for each workstation. This is done in 2 stages.
GENRUN performs the initial generation of the LANDP runtime files for your workgroup configuration. GENRUN is usually invoked by simply typing GENRUN \workgroup-name, which generates the LANDP files for the specified workgroup in EHCCUS. For more information on the GENRUN command see chapter 8 of the LANDP Installation and Customization manual.
If the GENRUN command completes successfully you are ready to copy the LANDP files to the workstations using the GETTING command. The most common reason for GENRUN failing is a missing file, which could be a device driver or a file specified in a SOFTPACK vector.
The GETTING command builds a directory containing all the files needed for a LANDP workstation. You are then able to copy this directory to the workstation, either on a floppy disk, or over a network drive. The most common use of getting is as follows:
On the DOS, Windows NT and OS/2 platforms, no installation procedure is required once the directory created by the GETTING command has been copied to the workstation. You can simply start LANDP from within the directory.
On the Linux platform, a further installation procedure is required. This involves running the EHCSETUP script as root, which will copy the LANDP files into the correct place on the Linux system. For more information on the EHCSETUP utility see chapter 13 of the LANDP Installation and Customization manual.
