Overview
- This page describes the steps for installing an AskPlus Beta Version Update for existing customers.
- The steps are essentially the same as updating to any AskPlus version.
Downloading AskPlus NONE Beta Version
We recommend that you right-click and choose "Download linked file as..." (or the equivalent option) as this should prevent your browser from automatically unzipping the file during the download. For verification purposes, the md5sum and cksum values are displayed below the download links.
- Download the install file for PA-Risc.
$ md5sum ASK_eloq_None_upd.gz 7eed02ed04579ff5cd158868d86d7903 ASK_eloq_e846_upd.gz $ cksum ASK_eloq_None_upd.gz 2442202898 943677 ASK_eloq_e846_upd.gz
- Download the install file for ITANIUM.
$ md5sum ASK64_eloq_e846_upd.gz 00fa5ed187850c3d4f0595b9d818ec5b ASK64_eloq_e846_upd.gz $ cksum ASK64_eloq_e846_upd.gz

Note: Some browsers may automatically uncompress the file during download. If this happens, the ".gz" extension will be removed. In this case, skip the "gunzip" step in the instructions below.
Updating AskPlus NONE Beta Version
- The installation loads new files, but does not overwrite the current version of AskPlus.
- Site-specific configuration files (Manager Files and vsrvtcp.ini) will not be overwritten.
1. Login as the askplus user and make sure you are in the /ASKPLUS directory. Type:
login askplus cd /ASKPLUS
2. Transfer the AskPlus distribution file (ASK64_eloq_None_upd.gz or (ASK_eloq_None_upd.gz) to the host.
- Use ASK64_eloq_None_upd.gz for ITANIUM systems and ASK_eloq_None_upd.gz for PA-Risc systems.
- The file must be transferred to the host using a BINARY transfer. Use FTP, or a terminal emulator to transfer the file.
3. The file that was transferred in the previous step is a compressed tar file. To uncompress and expand this file, enter these commands:
- Note that some browsers will uncompress the downloaded file automatically, so the gunzip step may not be necessary.
gunzip ASK64_eloq_None_upd.gz tar -xvf ASK64_eloq_None_upd
Launching the New AskPlus Version
- The new version is installed in the file askNonex.
- To verify that the new version has been properly installed, type the following command:
/ASKPLUS/askplus None
- If everything has been properly installed you will see something like this:
PA-Risc Example : Copyright LSWE (c) 1978-2018. Distributed by Vital Soft, Inc. ASKPLUS/Unix NONE (32 bits) ready !
ITANIUM Example : Copyright LSWE (c) 1978-2018. Distributed by Vital Soft, Inc. ASKPLUS/Unix NONE (64 bits) ready !
Type EXIT, to exit the AskPlus program.
- Since this is a beta version, you should test this version before moving it into production. We recommend modifying existing jobs to use the version using the syntax shown above. The version number must be the first parameter. In a job, it may look something like this:
/usr/bin/nice -20 /ASKPLUS/askplus None -aprofilename
- Remember the version number must appear immediately after /ASKPLUS/askplus
Making the New Version the Default Version
- To make askNonex the default version, login as askplus and enter:
cp -p askNonex askplusx
- A previous version can be launch by entering:
ASKPLUS/askplus e854
- To restore a previous version as the default, login as askplus and enter:
cp -p aske854x askplusx
