- LAD/2 TO START 1.1 BRIDGE APPLET (LAD2ST11.CMD VERSION 1.1)
- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- The LAD2ST11.CMD applet converts clients defined in a LAD/2
- workgroup into IBM LAN NetView Start 1.1 migration files. (A single
- client from a workgroup can also be specified.) These files can be
- dragged from an OS/2 directory folder and dropped on a Start topology
- container to have LAD/2 clients represented in Start. This applet
- does not modify any of the LAD/2 data files.
-
- After using LAD/2, you can then use Start to modify your product
- parameters; tune your configuration parameters for LAN Server,
- Database Manager, and Communications Manager; and generate the
- response files, LCU command files, and/or NetView DM/2 change files to
- update the products on your workstation.
-
- LAD2ST11 has the following parameters:
-
- Parameters:
- /LADPATH=source pathname of the LAD/2 main directory
- /CUSTNAME=customer name
- /WGNAME=workgroup name
- /USERNAME=user name (or client name)
- (optional - if not specified, all the users in the
- workgroup are migrated)
- /OFILE=fully qualified override file name
- (optional - if not specified, no node, LAN adapter, or
- LAN Server parameters will be overridden)
- /MIGPATH=target pathname of an existing directory for the
- generated Start migration files
- (optional - defaults to the current directory)
-
- The following example generates Start 1.1 migration files for all
- the clients in the sales workgroup for the market customer. LAD2ST11
- will expect the LAD/2 EXTD.TBL, LAPS.TBL, LS30.TBL, AND RECEIVER.TBL
- data files to be stored in the y:\lad2\market\sales\ directory, and it
- will expect the LAD/2 WORKGRP.TBL data file to be stored in the
- y:\lad2\ladcode\ directory. (LAD/2 always stores the WORKGRP.TBL in
- the LADCODE subdirectory.) The generated migration file will be
- stored in the current directory, overwriting any old versions of the
- files.
-
- lad2st11 /ladpath=y:\lad2\ /customer=market /wgname=sales
-
- The applet migrates many of LAD/2's configuration parameters.
- Both DFT and non-DFT sessions are included in the migration file, as
- well as information on LAN Server, local node names, LAN adapters,
- etc. Information that had to be defaulted, modified, or extrapolated
- during the bridging process will be logged.
-
- OVERRIDE FILE
- -------------
-
- Users can specify an override file that replaces values in the
- generated migration files, whether to override a default value or a
- migrated value drawn from the LAD/2 data tables. The override file
- applies to all the migration files generated during a single
- invocation. You can limit the override file to a single client if you
- include the /USERNAME= parameter in your LAD2ST11 invocation. Users
- can specify the same or a different override file each time the applet
- is run.
-
- The override file allows users to specify the following:
-
- * For Node information *
- DBType /* req, svr, local, or stop */
- LANType /* req, svr, dom, or stop */
- EMType /* dft, lan or dft lan */
- DEFLOCALCP /* 1-8 SNA characters */
- CPALIAS /* 1-8 SNA characters */
- BootDrive /* 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc. */
- DBInstalled /* 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc. */
- CMInstalled /* 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc. */
- LANInstalled /* 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc. */
- MachineType /* 4 alphanumeric chars */
- MachineNum /* 3 alphanumeric chars */
- MfgPlant /* 2 alphanumeric chars */
- SerialNum /* 7 alphanumeric chars */
- WKSTComment /* 1-60 characters */
- NodeID /* 5 hex characters */
-
- * For LAN Adapter information *
- AdapterType /* token ring i, token ring ii, token ring /a,
- token ring 16/4, token ring 16/4 /a, tr-unknown,
- bus master token ring, ibm ethernet /a,
- 3comethermc, ungermann-bass niups2, or
- wd ethercard plus /a */
- AdapterSpeed /* 4 or 16 (for token ring connections) */
- LocalAdminAdd /* 12 hex characters */
- EMDestAdd /* 12 hex characters */
- EMRUsize /* 4 digit number */
- CSMLANID /* 1-8 SNA characters */
- EthernetType /* 802.3 or DIX */
-
- * For LAN Server/Requester information *
- DomainName /* 1 - 8 characters from the LAN Character Set */
- COMPUTERNAME /* 1 - 8 characters from the LAN Character Set */
- FileAccessMode /* 1 - 12 (if < 3, random; = 3, mixed; > 3
- sequential) */
-
- The override file format is of the form:
-
- keyword1 value1
- ...
- keywordN valueN
-
- There must be at least one white space between the keyword and
- value. The keyword is not case sensitive, however, the value is. If
- duplicate keywords are specified, the value of the last specified
- keyword will be used. The LAD2ST11 applet will not check to see if
- the specified values are in the valid range for the parameter or match
- the correct format. Start will check the values when the file is
- migrated into a topology.
-
- For example, if the following override file was specified with:
-
- WKSTCOMMENT My comment.
- EMRUsize 1000
- FileAccessMode
-
- The following values would be changed and logged in the generated
- migration files:
-
- Overriding WKSTComment old value ' ' with new value 'My Comment.'.
- Overriding EMRUsize old value '1920' with new value '1000'.
- Overriding FileAccessMode old value '3' with new value ' '.
-
- Since the override values apply to all the generated migration
- files produced by an invocation of the applet, double check to insure
- that the following keywords should be applied to all the clients in
- your workgroup: DEFLOCALCP, CPALIAS, NodeID, LocalAdminAdd,
- EMDestAdd, CSMLANID, DomainName, and COMPUTERNAME. Certain values,
- such as COMPUTERNAME, should be unique to each workstation.
-
- OCUNODE
- -------
-
- An alternate means of generating Start migration files is to run
- OCUNODE on each of the client machines on which LAD/2 has installed
- products. OCUNODE.EXE is the Start discovery program that derives
- information about the workstation and places it into the created
- migration file. An advantage of using the OCUNODE program is that it
- will retrieve additional information that LAD2ST11 cannot, such as the
- machine type and workstation comment, however, with LAD2ST11, you can
- create your migration files from a single workstation using the
- information stored in the LAD/2 data tables.
-
- LAD/2 -> START MAPPINGS
- -----------------------
-
- The following lists the section parameters in the Start migration
- file, their defaults, and how they were derived from the LAD/2 tables.
- It is not recommended that you directly change the Start 1.1 migration
- file. For more information on the migration process, please consult
- the IBM LAN NetView Start 1.1 User's Guide. LAPS configuration data,
- OS/2 Service Pack, and application information are not migrated to
- Start.
