How to download the FENIX Software and/or PTFs to the AS/400

 

If you are downloading the entire FENIX software, the following should be taken into account before proceeding:

 

1.      The FENIX profile must exist and should be of programmer user class (USRCLS *PGMR);

 

2. The download file FenixSoft contains the entire FENIX library FENIX with the complete software which should be restored with the RSTLIB (restore library) command. The command RSTLIB automatically creates library.

 

3. Follow the user manual instructions for the initial installation of FENIX.

 

 

The entire software or  PTFs will be in a ZIP format. That is, with the zip extension (Eg. PTF01001.ZIP). These files may be downloaded to AS/400 as follows

 

1. Download the ZIP file to a folder on the PC. A binary file of the same name as the ZIP file will be found in the ZIP file (Eg. PTF01001.bin);

 

2. Extract the binary file to the windows folder;

 

3. Using the CRTSAVF command, create a save file of the same name on the AS/400, in library QGPL, as shown below.

 

                             Command Entry                           JAXWARD 

                                                          

 Type command, press Enter.
