AP download the Fixes in .ZIP or .EXE form, (if available) and install separately. Consult the
IBM Support literature for further details.
IBM PComm is an optional install. If it IS used, ensure it is installed BEFORE iSeries
Access. (PComm allows more flexibility than the iSeries Access 5250 emulation facilities.)
The recommended release of i5/OS (OS/400) for this class is V5R3. However, the labs
will still run on V5R2. V5R3 is preferred so that the instructor can show some of the new

Lab Set Up Guide
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2002, 2006 Set Up Instructions 5
V3.1.0.1
AP Set Up Instructions
Setup of Instructor and Student PCs
Each workstation should be loaded with Windows XP/2000. Each student, as well as the
instructor, must be able to start a 5250 emulation session. You will need to install iSeries
Access (or IBM PComm) in order to get 5250 emulation.

Lab Set Up Guide
Installing PC Software
Install each of the following software packages on each classroom PC or create an install
image and replicate that image across all PCs. Please review the manufacturer's
documentation for detailed installation instructions
1. Install Windows
Be sure that you configure TCP/IP as necessary in your location. If you are using an
image it will be necessary to assign a unique address to each PC.
2. (Optional) Install IBM Personal Communications. This provides a more flexible 5250
(and 3270) emulation facility than that provided within iSeries Access. If you do install
IBM PComm, you must do so before installing iSeries Access
3. Install iSeries Access
You must specify that you want iSeries Navigator (full support) and 5250 emulation
when prompted. (If using IBM PComm for 5250 emulation, ensure this is installed
FIRST, before installing iSeries Access.)
4. Install Adobe Acrobat Reader
5. Install Mozilla Firefox and/or Internet Explorer
6. Install the Information Center CD Link
When prompted, specify Client: Single Workstation and, on the following panel that you
want the files to Remain in the current location.
7. Install WDSC and apply PTFs.
a. Insert the first DVD/CD and follow the instructions. You will be prompted to reboot
your PC.
b. Use the IBM Rational Updater function to find/install Fixes:
i. Click Start>Programs>IBM Rational>Rational Product Updater
ii. Select Find Updates and follow on-screen instructions.
c. Alternatively, go to the WDSC website and download any new PTFs for this version,
(currently V6.0):
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400/support/
d. Check PTFs on the i5(iSeries) to make sure that your level of WDSC will support the
client PCs:
i. Click Start>Programs>IBM Rational>IBM WebSphere Development Studio
Client for iSeries V6.0 to start the WDSC Workbench.
ii. Use the New Connection node in the Remote Systems view to establish a
connection with the i5(iSeries). Follow the instructions.
iii. Expand the new Connection and right-click the iSeries Objects subsystem. A
context menu will appear. Select the option to Verify Connection.

Lab Set Up Guide
V3.1.0.1
AP iv. You will be prompted for your userid and password.
v. You will see a window that tells you if your server is OK for the client. If it is not,
check the list and you will see which PTFs need to be applied.
iSeries Setup
Install the base iSeries software listed above.
The AS07V4LIB SAVF contains an i5(iSeries) Save File (*SAVF). This file must be
uploaded to any i5(iSeries) library.
Then restore the AS07V4LIB library (AS07 Class master library) from the AS07V4LIB Save
File on the i5(iSeries). The AS07V4LIB library contains everything needed for all lab
exercises.
Be sure that the lab exercise software is loaded on the lab system, and that the setup
process has been run.
The labs were created on Version 5 Release 3 of i5/OS (OS/400) and have been tested on
V5R2 and V5R3 systems only!
All objects are owned by User Profile AS07INST. It will simplify the restore of object
authorities if this Profile is created FIRST with USRCLS(*ALLOBJ), before the course
library is restored. The AS07INST Profile can then be used to test the setup/drop
procedures which follow.
Course Setup Procedure
• Restore library AS07V4LIB to the lab exercise system.
• CHGCURLIB AS07V4LIB
• GO COURSE
• Select the menu option to display course code, name, edition, and version information.
Be sure your copy of AS07V4LIB matches the edition number in the front matter of your
instructor materials.
• Select the menu option to create profiles for a class.
The profile created for each student is:
USRPRF(AS07nnn)
PASSWRD(AS07)
expire at first logon
All AS07* profiles are granted additional authorities to:
• STRDBG command (AS07GROUP0 *USE)
• RSTOBJ command (AS07GROUP0 *USE)
• CHGJRN (*USE)

Lab Set Up Guide
All collection AS07XXX (Master Student Collection) objects have *PUBLIC authority *ALL,
because they are already owned by AS07INST, and restored at setup time to a collection to
which only the students and instructor have private authority. This is already established in
the AS07XXX save file.
AS07V4LIB objects that must be used by the student require *PUBLIC *USE authority.
Setup and drop code require *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE authority.
In the classroom, assign each student or team a number (nnn) that will be used for student
user profiles and libraries. The profile ending with 000 is reserved for the exclusive use of
the instructor.
Each iteration (class) of the course consists of a group profile, AS07GROUP0. The group
profile is created with PASSWORD(*NONE) and exists only to simplify and shorten the
setup authority process. The user profiles for the class are AS07000 through AS07999,
depending on the number of students for whom profiles are required. The instructor profile
ends with 000, and has authority to all student objects. The student profiles (AS07001 -
AS07999) have authority to their own objects but do not have authority to other students'
libraries.
All AS07nnn user passwords are set to expire at the first signon. The initial password is
AS07.
When you assign the team number to each student, remind them to pick a unique
password that they can remember.
Course Clean Up Procedure
On the i5(iSeries), invoke the course setup menu, GO COURSE. Option 4 will clean up the
class.

Lab Set Up Guide
V3.1.0.1
AP Verifying the Installation
This completes the installation of the operating system for this class.
__ 1. Boot the Windows operating system and a desktop screen should appear with a
taskbar.
__ 2. If the i5(iSeries) has all the required software installed, you can test the connection
using i5(iSeries) Access:
a. Open the iSeries Access folder and then open iSeries Navigator.
b. From the file menu, select Add Connection.
c. Follow the menus and add the IP address and name of the i5(iSeries) when
prompted. Add the system to the My Connections.
d. Return to the main iSeries Navigator window
e. You should see the system name you just added.
f. Right click on the system name. Select Verify Connection. If it is successful, close
the verification window.
If you cannot verify the connection to the i5(iSeries), most likely you need to update
the hosts or lmhosts file in your WINDOWS directory. You can open this file with
NOTEPAD and add an entry to the table. The table should look similar to this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
x.xx.xxx.xxx DALLASB
x.xx.xxx.xxx ATLANTAB
x.xx.xxx.xxx DIRTCITY
x.xx.xxx.xxx ROCKCITY
g. If it was necessary to update the HOSTS file, attempt to verify the connection once
again.
__ 3. To validate the CODE installation:
a. Click Start>IBM CODE and VisualAge RPG 6.0>Check PTF.
b. Enter the i5(iSeries) server name or its IP address, plus your userid and password.
Click OK. If you installed properly, you should see a message that says “You have
required LPP and PTFs”.
If you see anything else, the wizard will tell you what you need to do.
