Visimage3Install

Visimage3 Installation Summary

To prepare to install Visimage3 you must first prepare for the installation by installing a new version of VsrvTcp and updating the macro definition file on the host. Also, any Visimage users that have not already installed version 2.6 should do so as Visimage3 will only open existing CTW files that have been saved in version 2.6.

Install VsrvTcp Version 4.9.1.4

VsrvTcp version 4.9.1.4 supports encrypted passwords and is required for Visimage3. This version is not compatible with Visimage 2.6 (unless the Visimage 2.6 update which includes encrypted password support, and VisiPass, has been installed). If this encrypted password update has not been installed, we strongly recommend that VsrvTcp be installed on a separate port initially. Utilizing a second port will allow clients to run both Visimage 2.6 and Visimage3 concurrently.

• Installing VsrvTcp 4.9.x

Update Macro Definition File

Visimage3 includes new macro functionality that requires a new macro definition file. The new file format allows for additional macro attributes to be specified in the comment area. After the last character of the comment, there are two dash marks followed by the group name of the macro and the length needed for the data displayed by the macro. This is followed by two more dash marks.

   macro name = definition <<Description --GroupName Len=30-->>

For example:

   macro CVT-FIRST+INIT(insert-name) = !splitname(insert-name,"FM")&
   <<print first name and middle initial--Name Len=30-->>

The above defines a macro called CVT-FIRST+INIT that takes a parameter called insert-name. In Visimage3 this macro will be included in the Name group (when displayed in Tree Mode) and will (by default) occupy 30 characters when printed in a report.

• Updating the Macro Definition File

Vital Soft provides a standard macro definition file for use by Fiserv Spectrum Credit Unions (see above). Sites that maintain their own macro definition files should include a comment with appropriate attributes to take full advantage of Visimage3 functionality.

For example, if you have custom macro's defined in the /ASKPLUS/visimage/usermdef, we suggest adding them to a Custom group as follows:

   macro CU-NAME = "Vital Soft Employee's Credit Union" &
   <<The name of the CU to print on reports.--Custom Len=34-->>
