Installation Guide

Installing a team development client

Before installing a VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Client for team development, you need to know some information about where the library manager is installed. EMSRV is used to connect to the library manager which is installed on a network server for team development. The library administrator should provide the following information about the VisualAge Smalltalk library manager:

To install a VisualAge Smalltalk Client do the following:

  1. Begin installation based on your operating systems installation start-up instructions. For more information, see Installing VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise Version 6.0 on Windows and OS/2.
    Note:
    For late breaking information, click on the View Readme push button.
  2. Read the License Agreement. If you agree to the terms and conditions, select Accept. Otherwise, select Decline and exit the installation program.
  3. On the Select Features window, if you wish to install the documentation, check off the VisualAge Smalltalk Documentation feature by clicking the box next to the feature.
    Note:
    It is possible to install the documentation independent of the client code.
  4. Click Next to continue
  5. Select EMSRV as the Library Access Method by which you will connect to the Library Manager. Select Next to continue. On the EMSRV client parameters window, do the following:
    1. Specify the location of the server where the library manager is installed, either by specifying the hostname or IP address for the server.
    2. Specify the fully qualified path on the server where the library manager is installed.

      For example, if the manager is installed on a machine named vastmgr in the directory f:\vastv60\manager\mgr60.dat. Even if you have vastmgr mapped as M:on your computer, you would specify f:\vastv60\manager\mgr60.dat as the path on the server where the library manager is installed.

      Note:
      If you are using a shared library that resides on a network server, this path should be provided to you by your library administrator.
    3. Select Next.
  6. Choose a Program Folder name. Select Next.
    Note:
    OS/2 clients must be installed on a drive that is formatted HPFS.
  7. Verify the information, then select Next to finish installing the VisualAge Smalltalk Client.
  8. When the installation is complete, click Finish to end the install program or View Readme to view the readme file.
  9. Reboot your system.
