7-2 DecisioNet Software on an SCO UNIX System DecisioNet Software for SCO UNIX The DecisioNet software for SCO UNIX is provided on tape cartridges. Name Package Name LPIN EPL Base and Application NCR:eplbaseapp G370-1169-0000 Runtime for SCO UNIX EPL Standalone PLU NCR:saplumexe Maintenance EPL Scan Process Package NCR:scanprocess EPL Price Redundancy Package NCR:PriceRed G370-1172-0000 EPL System Information Package NCR:SystmInfo G370-1175-0000 EPL Information Messaging NCR:InfoMsg G370-1178-0000 System Package Installing DecisioNet Software on an SCO UNIX System The following sections describe how to install DecisioNet software on an SCO UNIX system. After installation, refer to Chapter 8, “Configuring the DecisioNet System Environment,” and Appendix D, “Customizing the DecisioNet System,” for any additional information you may need. Before installing the DecisioNet software, make sure the hard disk has at least 20 megabytes of free space in addition to the normal 10% free space required on UNIX systems. Refer to the table on the first page of this chapter for space recommendations. The following instructions assume that SCO UNIX is already installed.

DecisioNet Software on an SCO UNIX System 7-3 Checking the System for Existing Packages Before you install new DecisioNet software, remove any older versions that are installed on your system. 1. List the existing packages using the following command: customquery ListPackages 2. Remove any DecisioNet software packages using the following command: custom -r <package name> Package names are listed in the table at the beginning of this chapter. Copying Files from the Install Tapes DecisioNet software packages are distributed on tape and must be copied to the hard disk using the UNIX cpio copy command prior to installation. Use the following procedures to copy the files from the install tapes to the disk. 1. Create a directory under the /usr directory to hold the install packages. For example: /epl/spoolpkg mkdir usr/epl/spoolpkg 2. Change to the directory created in step one. 3. Put the install tape in the tape drive. 4. Type cpio -icvBd < <device name with path>. Where the device name is the absolute file name for the device (for example, /dev/rmt/Sc0s0). 5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to copy the packages from all the DecisioNet install tapes before proceeding to the next section.

7-4 DecisioNet Software on an SCO UNIX System All packages on the tapes are copied to separate directories under the /spoolpkg directory. For example, the NCR:eplbaseapp package is copied to the /eplbaseapp directory. These directory names are used in the following install process. Installing EPL Base and Application Runtime Software (NCR:eplbaseapp) The SCO UNIX custom command is used to copy the install package from the /spoolpkg directories. Type custom -i -p NCR:eplbaseapp -z /usr/epl/spoolpkg/eplbaseapp UNIX now starts the installation of NCR:eplbaseapp, and gives you messages to show progress. If any UNIX kernel parameters for EPL are different from what is already configured in UNIX, messages will show kernel parameters that are being modified (tuned). UNIX then rebuilds the operating system, if necessary. When UNIX finishes the installation, it displays the message: Installation complete

DecisioNet Software on an SCO UNIX System 7-5 Installing the Optional EPL Standalone PLU Maintenance Software (NCR:saplumexe) The EPL Base and Application Runtime package (NCR:eplbaseapp) must be installed prior to installing this optional package. The SCO UNIX custom command is used to copy the install package from the /spoolpkg directories. Type custom -i -p NCR:saplumexe -z /usr/epl/spoolpkg/saplumexe UNIX starts the installation for NCR:saplumexe, and gives messages to show progress. When UNIX finishes the installation, it displays the message: Installation complete If you are installing some other POS specific item maintenance package instead of the Standalone PLU Maintenance package, follow the instructions that come with that software.

7-6 DecisioNet Software on an SCO UNIX System Installing the Optional Scan Process Package (NCR:ScanProcess) The EPL Base and Application Runtime package (NCR:eplbaseapp) must be installed prior to installing this optional package. The SCO UNIX custom command is used to copy the install package from the /spoolpkg directories. 1. Type custom -i -p NCR:ScanProcess -z /usr/epl/spoolpkg/ScanProcess UNIX starts the installation for NCR:ScanProcess. UNIX asks you to enter a customer name. 2. Press Enter to set the default or type a new customer name and then press Enter. 3. UNIX asks you to enter a store number. 4. Press Enter to set the default or type the store number and then press Enter. 5. UNIX asks you to enter scanner device port. 6. Press Enter to set the default or type the scanner device port and then press Enter. 7. UNIX asks you to enter the host file name. 8. Press Enter to set the default or type the host file name and then press Enter. Progress messages are presented through the various installation stages. When UNIX finishes the installation, it displays the message: Installation complete

DecisioNet Software on an SCO UNIX System 7-7 Installing the EPL Price Redundancy Package (NCR:PriceRed) The EPL Base and Application Runtime package (NCR:eplbaseapp) must be installed prior to installing this optional package. The SCO UNIX custom command is used to copy the install package from the /spoolpkg directories. Type custom -i -p NCR:PriceRed -z /usr/epl/spoolpkg/PriceRed UNIX now starts the installation for NCR:PriceRed and gives messages to show progress. When UNIX finishes the installation, it displays the message: Installation complete Installing the EPL System Information Package (NCR:SystmInfo) The EPL Base and Application Runtime package (NCR:eplbaseapp) must be installed prior to installing this optional package. The SCO UNIX custom command is used to copy the install package from the /spoolpkg directories. Type custom -i -p NCR:SystmInfo -z /usr/epl/spoolpkg/SystmInfo UNIX now starts the installation for NCR:SystmInfo and gives messages to show progress. When UNIX finishes the installation, it displays the message: Installation complete

7-8 DecisioNet Software on an SCO UNIX System Installing the EPL Information Messaging System Package (NCR:InfoMsg) The EPL Base and Application Runtime package (NCR:eplbaseapp) must be installed prior to installing this optional package. The SCO UNIX custom command is used to copy the install package from the /spoolpkg directories. Type custom -i -p NCR:InfoMsg -z /usr/epl/spoolpkg/InfoMsg UNIX now starts the installation for NCR:InfoMsg and gives messages to show progress. When UNIX finishes the installation, it displays the message: Installation complete Configuring and Customizing the DecisioNet System After the software is installed, refer to Chapter 8, “Configuring the DecisioNet System Environment,” for instructions on how to configure and start the DecisioNet software. Refer to Appendix D, “Customizing the DecisioNet System,” for information about system features that permit modification to meet additional site-specific requirements beyond those described in the configuration chapter.
