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. The Manager should be installed
first, on a server accessible by those application programmers who will be
using VisualAge. The Manager can be installed just once, by a system
administrator. The client should be installed by the system
administrator on each workstation.
- Note:
- The installer writes installation status messages to its 'stdout'
stream. These messages will appear within the dtterm or xterm where the
installer was started. When the installation is finished, this window
will show a Finished message.
To install the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise - Library Manager, do the
following:
- On the Welcome window, select Readme to view the readme file
for any late-breaking information on the UNIX version of VisualAge.
- On the License Agreement window, read the license agreement. If you
agree to the terms and conditions, select Accept. Otherwise
select Decline and exit the installation.
- If you have previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Manager Library
5.5 or 5.5.1, the Verify Development Manager Library page
appears. Verify or type the directory 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 or 5.5.1 and check the I have
backed up my manager library box.
- On HP-UX and Sun Solaris, on the Select Features window, if you have
previously installed VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version 5.5 or
5.5.1 Manager, next to the Version
5.5/5.5.1 features that were previously installed you
will see a + and a number that indicates the approximate size
difference of the feature in VisualAge Smalltalk Version
5.5.2. On AIX, the + and the number indicate
the full size of the feature in VisualAge Smalltalk Version
5.5.2.
- Note:
- On some Unix platforms, problems have been reported on the Select Features
screen. After selecting a new feature to install, sometimes the
Next button is not enabled due to an error in synchronization of
the features. To correct this problem, select the Back
button and then on the License Agreement screen, select the Accept
button. The Next button on the Select Features screen should
then be enabled.
- On the Select Features window check off the features you wish to install
by clicking the box next to the feature(s). 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.
- When the installation is complete, click Finish to end the
install program or View Readme to view the readme
file.
The files are installed to /opt/IBMvast/5.5 directory.
The size of the library manager will grow considerably as optional features
are loaded and as source code accumulates during the course of a development
effort. It is possible to install the library manager on a filesystem
other than /opt, and to run the EMSRV daemon with the library manager on the
alternate filesystem. This may be a convenient configuration for
managing the growth of the library manager and for maintenance backups.
To install the library manager on an alternate filesystem you must complete
a couple of steps manually. Before performing the install, create a
/opt/IBMvast/5.5/manager filesystem which is mounted on a logical
volume other than the volume on which /opt is mounted, or define
/opt/IBMvast/5.5/manager as a symbolic link to a directory on such an
alternate filesystem.
- Note:
- The filesystem on which the library manager resides must be mounted on a
local drive. The EMSRV daemon will not operate properly if the library
manager file is on a remote NFS filesystem.
If you are using EMSRV, you must set up and start EMSRV after you install
the library manager.
