Installation Guide
The library manager holds your VisualAge Smalltalk source code. The
VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager should be installed before
installing VisualAge Smalltalk Client. You can either install the
library manager on a network server and connect using EMSRV for team
programming, or you can install the library manager on your local machine and
connect to the repository using File I/O access or EMSRV if it is supported on
your operating system. This section covers installing a library manager
on a server as a repository for team development.
When you install the manager, the .dat files which provide the
additional code for the VisualAge Smalltalk features are automatically
imported into your Library Manager.
To install the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager, do the
following:
- Begin installation based on your operating system's installation
start-up instructions. For more information see: Installing VisualAge on Windows and OS/2.
Note: | For late breaking information, click on the Readme push
button.
|
- Read the License Agreement. If you agree to the terms and
conditions, select Accept. Otherwise, select
Decline and exit the installation program.
- If you have previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Manager Library
5.5, the Verify Development Manager Library page appears. Verify
or type the hostname or IP address, and absolute path of the manager library
and click Next. A second Verify Development Manager Library
page then appears. Ensure that you have backed up your VisualAge
Smalltalk Manager Library 5.5 and check the I have backed up my
manager library box.
- On the Select Features window, if you have previously installed VisualAge
Smalltalk Enterprise Version 5.5 Manager, next to the Version
5.5 features that were previously installed you will see a +
and a number that indicates the approximate size difference of the feature in
VisualAge Smaltalk Version 5.5.1.
- On the Select Features window, do the following:
- Place a check mark in the box next to each feature you wish to install by
clicking on that box. This will automatically import all of the
.dat files needed to run the feature(s).
Note: | To the right of the features list is a details window box which provides
information regarding the feature.
|
- If you have NOT previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Manager Library
5.5, check to make certain that the destination folder is
correct. If you wish to change the default, click the Browse
push button and change the location by either clicking on a new folder or
directly typing the directory in the entry field. Click
OK.
- Verify that you have enough space for the installation.
- Click Next to continue.
- You will now be asked to complete the installation. Verify that all
of the information is correct and click Next. The product
will now install.
Note: | Record the path where the manager is installed. Each person installing
a VisualAge Smalltalk Client will need to know the path where the manager is
installed and the IP address or alias of the server where the manager is
installed. For example, if you specify f:\vastv55,
then the manager will be named
f:\vastv55\manager\mgr55.dat.
|
- When the installation is complete, click Finish to end the
install program or View Readme to view the readme
file.
You must set up and start EMSRV after you install the library
manager. Clients cannot connect to the library manager until EMSRV is
running.
