Installing PC/3270 under WIN-OS/2

• Open the OS/2 System Folder
  
• Open the Command Prompts Folder
  
• Select WIN-OS/2 full-screen

  This will start up the WIN-OS/2 environment. You will get the WIN-OS/2 Program Manager screen, just as you would if you had started Windows natively. From here the installation of the product and the corrective service is just as it would be under Windows.

  2.
  From the Program Manager Menu Bar:
  
  Select File
  
  Select Run
  
  Insert PC/3270 Windows Diskette 1 in the A: drive
  
  On the command line enter: A:INSTALL
  Now you will fill out the installation and configuration screens just as you would have installing PC/3270 directly under Windows.

  In this sample installation we will use the following throughout this part of the document:

     C:           is the drive where OS/2 Version 2.0 is installed   C:\PC3270W   is the drive and subdirectory where PC/3270 is installed
     PC3270W      is the name of the configuration file we create

Select OK on the PC/3270 Installation logo screen.

On the Installation Start screen:

Select Create New Configuration file

Select OK

On the Customize Configuration screen:

Select Connection type.

Our sample will use DFT, but you can select the one you want. We have tested DFT, LAN 802.2, SDLC and IIN Async at 9600bps.

If you select other than DFT, you will need to configure your communications parameters before you can continue. You will need to refer to other documentation for this configuration information.

Select 2 for Number of Host sessions. Yours will probably vary, but start simple.

Select OK.

On the Installation End screen:

Enter a Configuration File name of PC3270W

Select Copy Necessary Files only (or if you want: All files)

Enter Drive and Directory of C:\PC3270W\

Select OK

(These are the defaults)

On the Add PC/3720 to Program Manager screen:

Select WIN-OS/2 Main in the to Group section

Select OK

Note: If you are configuring 802.2 LAN installations, you will probably get a PCS121 error at the completion of the install. This is because the install process is trying to update the CONFIG.SYS file and is having problems. Just continue with installing the corrective service diskette in the next section.
