Some questions relating to the Version 3.0 Installation process
:
1) Previously, issuing the command $ SET LOGINS/INTERACTIVE = 0
(which was previously documented for V2.4) caused problems in V5.n
(the installation could fail)..Even though the installation
documentation now recommends Shutting down ALL-IN-1 instead, has
the problem with $SET LOGINS/INTERACTIVE been fixed (and if so,
as of which VMS V5.n version?)
2) There was an incidental problem (FMS related) reported where
terminals would hang...While development on FMS has ceased, there
was supposedly a patch written to address the problem. Will this
patch be made available to all Version 3 customers, and if so, how?.
3) The installation guide (section 6.10.4) instructs that files
in the SITE area that are installed in memory should be deinstalled
before installation. Exactly which files? (SITEOAFORM, SITEMEMRES,
or just newly added .FLC's?) What if I've compiled MANAGER or CM.FLB
(not in SITE area)...shouldn't they be removed as well ?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
OK i'll have a shot at these and then GAP can make fun of me.
1) VMS 5.4-3 for other releases there is a patch in the VOID system.
2) No - Here I quote from the ultimate authority (the project
manager) - the FMS patch was not verified against ALL-IN-1 v3.0
in time to meet the original SSB submission and was omitted.
the patch is still available on demand. I have not seen the
new SSb kit so I will say no more.
3) In my experience it is generally talking about your own .EXEs
the excellent installation procedure will actually tell you which ones
you didn't do when it's setting acls and you go and do them by hand
afterwards.
Your turn GAP ...
Regards,
Andrew.D.Wicks

RE .0
1) I would have said ask VMS, since it was their bug, but Andy seems
happy with the story on that one. Shutting down ALL-IN-1 doesn't mean
that you don't need to SET INTERACTIVE_LOGINS, since you still need to
protect against Help libraries etc., being accessed.
2) No information.
3) We handle removal and re-installation of the FLCs that we know
about, i.e. OAFORM and MEMRES. If you have any other FLCs installed,
then these might fail, but the most likely problem is $INSTALLed
shareable images. The one that we mostly see here is OALSE.EXE, since
we have the LSE ASSET installed.

PS Andy, I hardly need to make fun of you about your answers here when
you continue to believe that Wales have a rugby team and that Liverpool
can play football...

| 242.3 | Better Way protecting OA$MAIN.EXE | EEMELI::SALMINEN | Hannu Salminen, PTG -Finland | Wed Apr 22 1992 14:35 | 11 |
After some hard working (when using $SET LOGINS/INTER=0 before trying to install A1024CSP013 patch) I have learned that I never try to use this in VMS v 5.4. Instead I nowadays change the file protection of the OA$MAIN.EXE image file, removing all the privileges off the World. This keeps users out of using ALL-IN-1 when installing patches or assets.
