Compatibility Mode Installation. Robelle Suprtool 5.7

Installing the Suprtool2 Interface

Compatibility Mode Installation

You do not need to do any installation steps in order to use the native mode version of Suprtool2. These instructions describe how to install the Suprtool2 interface into the System SL on Classic versions of MPE, and on MPE/iX for access by compatibility mode programs.

The job stream Suprcall.Suprjob.Robelle installs the Suprtool2 interface so that it can be used by any program on the system. Use it either to update the interface when you receive a new version of Suprtool or to re-install the interface after a MIT update from HP. You will need a small tape for a new COLDLOAD tape to contain the

Suprtool interface segment. You can also install the Suprtool2 interface in a pub or group SL (see "Compiling and Linking on MPE V" on page 464).

Installing into the System SL

1. Make sure that the Robelle account has been created and all files have been restored.

2. Ensure that no one will use the interface until the installation is complete. No one can be running a program which uses the interface.

Stop all jobs and send an operator warning.

:showjob

:warn @;please stop for 20 minutes

:abortjob #snnn

3. STREAM the installation job. Supply any passwords requested by the

STREAM command.

:stream suprcall.suprjob.robelle

4. SUPR2JOB uses the SEGMENTER to add the Suprtool Interface

Library into SL.Pub.Sys. It then requests a tape ("COLDLOAD") to create a new cold load tape containing MPE plus the Suprtool interface library. Mount a tape with a write ring and :REPLY. Save this tape and use it for any future cold loads.

5. If everything goes well, SUPR2JOB prints a final message on the console.

6. Please save the job listing for future reference.
