Installing AskPlus Version

Installing AskPlus Beta Version

Before starting the installation, you must ensure that AskPlus is not in use.

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_e840.gz or ASK_eloq_e840.gz) to the host. Use ASK64_eloq_e840 for ITANIUM systems and ASK_eloq_e840 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.
• These instructions assume that the name of the file is ASK64_eloq_ver.gz. Your file will have a different name. Substitute the name of your file (making sure that you use the appropriate case) for ASK64_eloq_ver in these instructions.

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_ver.gz
tar -xvf ASK64_eloq_ver
