Installing Monarch Collector on the IBM i

In order to install the ASNA Monarch Collector on the IBM i from a Save file (obtained from the unzipped download file), you must have TCP/IP installed on both your PC and on your IBM i. (You must also have FTP installed on your IBM i.)

  1. Sign onto the IBM i using an account with *SECADM authority.

  2. Create a Save file in QGPL by entering the following command:

    CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/ASNATEMPM)

  3. To upload the Save file from the PC, an FTP session must be started to the IBM i

  4. From Windows, select the START button, select RUN and enter the following command:

    FTP as400tcpipaddress

    where as400tcpipaddress is either a TCP/IP address such as 198.176.129.35, or a machine name that is registered either in a DNS or a HOSTS file.

  5. When prompted for a user name and password, enter the appropriate information that will give you privileges to upload data to the IBM i.
  6. Once FTP has been started, upload the Save file to the IBM i by entering the following commands:
    1. binary

    2. put x:\folder\ASNATEMPM QGPL/ASNATEMPM

              where x:\folder\ is the PC disk drive and folder where you unzipped ASNAMNRCH.zip

    3. quit
  7. On the IBM i, restore the library called ASNATEMPM from the Save file in QGPL by entering the following command.
         RSTLIB SAVLIB(ASNATEMPM) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/ASNATEMPM)
  8. Enter ASNATEMPM/MONLOAD to start the installation.
  9. The ASNA license agreement is displayed. If you agree with the terms of the license, press the F8 key to continue with the installation. If you do not agree, press the F3 key and the installation will be cancelled.
  10. Next, the installation program displays the installation options. The installation can be cancelled at any time by pressing the F3 key. To continue with the installation, press the F6 key.
  11. If DataGate is not installed on your IBM i, you will receive a warning that states that the Monarch Collector cannot be used until DataGate is installed and licensed. If you see the warning screen, press Enter to continue with the installation, otherwise press the F3 key.
  12. Next, a warning screen is displayed; Press Enter to perform the installation, otherwise press the F3 key.
  13. Once the installation has completed, the ASNATEMPM Save file is no longer needed, and may be deleted. The ASNATEMPM library is automatically deleted.
