HP DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS
Software Installation Guide

Choose from the following options: 
 
   1 - Stop the n DCPS queues on this system 
   2 - Stop the n DCPS queues in the cluster 
   3 - Do not stop any queues (not recommended) 
 
Enter option: [1] 

Make your choice and press [Return].
If you previously chose to display a list of queues that would be stopped, that list is now displayed:


  Queue                      Status  Node    Device 
  -----                      ------  ----    ------ 
  queue-name                 status  node    "protocol/host:port" 
  .
  .
  .
  queue-name                 status  node    "protocol/host:port" 

  • Choose to continue the installation.
    After making your choice, one of the following messages is displayed.
    Press [Return] to continue or enter NO and press [Return] to abort the installation. If you continue, and queues are being stopped, the following messages are displayed:


        If the installation fails, DCPS queues may need to be restarted manually. 
     
    Stopping DCPS queues ... 
    

  • Check for files in SYS$SPECIFIC.
    DCPS requires all its files to be installed in SYS$COMMON. Although files can be put in SYS$SPECIFIC for debugging or testing purposes, it is not supported.
    If DCPS images are found in SYS$SPECIFIC, messages similar to the following are displayed:


        This system contains DCPS images in SYS$SPECIFIC: 
     
          disk:[SYSn.SYSEXE]DCPS$SMB.EXE;n
     
        The existence of DCPS files in SYS$SPECIFIC is not supported. 
     
        If these files remain, they will be used instead of the DCPS product 
        files you are installing now, and the IVP may test the wrong or 
        mismatched DCPS components.  These files can cause unpredictable DCPS 
        behavior on your system. 
     
    Do you want to continue the installation? [NO] 
    

    You should choose to abort the installation by pressing [Return]. If you are sure you want to continue, enter YES and press [Return] and the installation will continue.

  • Specify location for Layup files.
    Next, the installation procedure looks for a definition of the logical name DCPS$LAYUP in the system table in executive mode. This logical name points to the location of DCPS layup files. The default location is SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DCPS].
    Although the installation procedure will put new versions of layup files into your site-specific directory if it is already defined, it will not prompt for a new location. If you want your layup files to be in a different directory, usually done so that non-privileged users can modify them, you should manually copy them after the installation is complete and modify the value of DCPS$LAYUP at the bottom of the SYS$STARTUP:DCPS$REQUIRED.COM command procedure.
    If files cannot be copied to your site-specific DCPS$LAYUP directory (for example, if the directory does not exist) messages similar to the following will be displayed:


        There is a problem with your definition of DCPS$LAYUP. 
        Layup files will not be copied to DISK$INVALID:[WOOPS]. 
    

  • Specify location for spool directory.
    If DCPS V2.5 or later has already been installed, and the startup procedure has been run, the spool directory location has already been specified and this step is skipped.
    The DCPS spool directory is used to store temporary spool files for LPD jobs when the DCPS$SPOOL or DCPS$queue-name_SPOOL logical name is defined. (See the System Manager's GuideSystem Manager's Guide for more information about DCPS LPD spooling.)
    You should specify a device or device and directory that is not on a system disk and that is available to all systems for which DCPS spooling is used. You are asked for a location for the directory, which is always called [DCPS$SPOOL]:


        DCPS, when so configured, will store temporary spool files in directory 
        [DCPS$SPOOL].  By default, this directory is created in SYS$COMMON. 
        It is recommended that you choose a non-system disk for this directory. 
     
    Enter location for DCPS spool directory: [SYS$COMMON] 
    

    You can answer with either just a device name or a device and directory name. Table 2-1 shows where the spool directory will be created with various answers for its location:

    Table 2-1 Spool Directory Location Examples
    If you answer... ...the spool file directory will be...
    [Return] (default answer) SYS$COMMON:[DCPS$SPOOL]
    DISK$USER DISK$USER:[DCPS$SPOOL]
    SYS$COMMON:[OTHER_FILES] SYS$COMMON:[OTHER_FILES.DCPS$SPOOL]
    DISK$USER:[DCPS] DISK$USER:[DCPS.DCPS$SPOOL]

    After answering the question, you verify the directory that will be created:


        The DCPS spool directory will be created at 
     
            disk:[directory] 
     
    Is this correct? [YES] 
    

    Press [Return] to accept this location or enter N and press [Return] to specify a different location.

  • Install the software.
    PCSI displays the following messages indicating its progress in installing DCPS:


    * This product does not have any configuration options. 
     
    Execution phase starting ... 
     
    The following product will be installed to destination: 
        HP AXPVMS DCPS V2.5                    DISK$SYS_SARAH:[VMS$COMMON.] 
     
    Portion done: 0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100% 
    

  • Check for alternate destination.
    If DCPS has never been installed on your system using PCSI, or it has been installed and removed, and you specified an alternate destination, you will see these messages:


        You have specified an alternate destination by using the /DESTINATION 
        qualifier or defining the logical name PCSI$DESTINATION. 
     
        Since DCPS must reside in cluster common directories, DCPS has has been 
        installed using the default destination of SARAH$DKA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.] 
        instead of the destination you specified, SARAH$DKB0:[OTHER.]. 
    

    This step occurs in between the 90% and 100% done messages.

  • Start queues.
    After the DCPS files have been installed, running DCPS queues that were stopped earlier in the installation are now started. If queues were stopped by the installation, the following message is displayed:


    Starting DCPS queues ... 
    

    This step occurs in between the 90% and 100% done messages.

  • Verify successful installation.
    The IVP verifies that the software was installed properly. If the system queue manager is running, the IVP runs automatically and the installation procedure performs the following:
    1. Creates a temporary print queue
    2. Queues the test files in [SYSTEST.DCPS] to the temporary print queue DCPS$IVP_TEST
    3. Displays messages similar to the following:


    %PCSI-I-IVPEXECUTE, executing test procedure for HP AXPVMS DCPS V2.5 ... 
     
    Job DCPS$IVP_POST (queue DCPS$IVP_TEST, entry n started on DCPS$IVP_TEST 
    %DCPS-I-JOBSTART, Job DCPS$IVP_POST (queue DCPS$IVP_TEST, entry n) 
        started on DCPS$IVP_TEST 
       .
       .
       .
    Job DCPS$IVP_LIST (queue DCPS$IVP_TEST, entry 49) completed 
    

    Note

    The IVP does not produce any hardcopy output.

    The IVP procedure automatically deletes the temporary queue when the IVP completes. You can print the IVP test files to a real printer later. (Refer to the System Manager's GuideSystem Manager's Guide.)
    You can also manually invoke the IVP after the installation by entering:


        $ @SYS$TEST:DCPS$IVP
    

    PCSI issues an informational message when the IVP is completed:


    %PCSI-I-IVPSUCCESS, test procedure completed successfully 
    

  • Create queues and customize your environment.
    Refer to the System Manager's GuideSystem Manager's Guide for instructions on how to create print queues and customize your printing environment.
