Step 2--Run QMF NLF installation exec: DSQ2nINS

Before running this exec:

  1. You must have access to the QMF NLF distribution disk in WRITE mode.
  2. The QMF NLF installation control file QMFV720n INSTALL must exist on the QMF NLF distribution disk.
  3. You must be linked to the DB2 for VM production disk in READ mode.
  4. The following CMS commands allow the printer and console to continue processing unless a severe error is found. 
    spool prt cont hold
spool console start cont

Assumptions for installing QMF into a workstation database server

Before you attempt to install QMF on a remote database server, be sure to complete the prerequisites indicated in installing QMF into a workstation database server on VM.

Running the exec

To start the NLF installation exec, issue the command:

DSQ2nINS

The QMF NLF installation exec obtains its input from the QMF NLF installation control file. (See Step 1--Create the QMF NLF installation control file: DSQ2nCTL.) The QMF NLF installation exec performs the following steps:

  1. Updates the Q.PROFILES and creates an NLF command synonyms table called Q.COMMAND_SYNONYM_n, if you are not migrating from any previous release of QMF.
  2. Discards existing QMF NLF sample tables and creates new ones, if required.

Restart procedure

If this exec fails, use the following procedure to restart the exec and continue where you left off:

  1. Determine what the problem is and fix it.
  2. Rerun this exec with an input parameter equal to the restart value provided in the message when the exec terminated.

For example, if you get the message: 

TERMINATING EXECUTION ...
TO RESTART THIS EXEC AND CONTINUE WHERE YOU LEFT OFF,
 - FIX THE PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED
 - RERUN THIS EXEC WITH THE INPUT PARAMETER OF 2

you can restart the exec with: 

DSQ2nINS 2

Installation exec error messages

If you encounter a problem running the QMF installation exec, you need to find the error message describing the problem. Because this error message may be sent to either the console or the printer, you may want to spool your console and your printer to "HOLD".

Note: If you choose to spool your printer or console, enter the following to release the file that contains the error information: 

          spool prt close
          spool console close

To transfer the printer files to your reader, issue the command: 

     TRANS PRT ALL *
