Installation and Maintenance

This section documents the installation and maintenance of the Smart Master Page Import API.

Installation Procedures

You should be familiar with FrameMaker installation and general UNIX system administration before attempting to install the API. The following products must already be installed on your system:

    1. Unload installation materials. Installation materials may be received on a variety of media (i.e. diskette or tape) in tar format. Normally the software is in the form of a compressed tar file which is received over the Internet using ftp.

    The rest of these instructions assume you are in the smpimport directory when you issue any commands.

    2. Tailor Make file. There are several items in the make file that may need to be changed.

    to look like:

    F_DIR = frame_dir

    where frame_dir is the directory where Frame is installed on your system. At some companies, the name of the FrameMaker installation directory changes each time maintenance is applied. The name will be something like:

    /afs/btv/common/vendor/xfm4

    to look like:

    L_DIR =$(F_DIR)/fdk/lib/ibm.aix.pwr

    3. Build product by entering the command:

    make

If installation is successful up to this point, there will be a new file created called smpimport.fa.

    4. Copy appropriate files to final installation locations.

    5. Modify API client file with an appropriate text editor. If you keep the API client file in the Frame home directory, this would be the file: $FMHOME/fminit/usenglish/APIArea/apiclients. Insert the following lines at the end of the file.

    <APIclient

    <Name Table_Inserter>

    </afs/btv/data/memory/bin/smpimport.fa

    <CommandLine executable_dir/tabinsert.fa>

    <Products Maker>

    <RPCVersion 1>

    6. Verify that installation has been successful.
