JET 3270 Documentation > Installation
Installation
In this section:
JET 3270 installation depends on your
workstation system type:
- For a Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000 or XP system:
- Download the JET 3270 self-extracting archive,
jet3270.exe, to your disk
- Run the self-extracting archive, jet3270.exe,
by double clicking it.
- Follow the on screen instructions.
Note: JET
3270 now automatically includes your licence
details in the JET3270Key.jlk file
in the "applet" sub-directory. It includes a
licence key that expires. Licence details for JET
3270 versions prior to 3.2A are not
compatible with versions 3.2A and onwards (and
vice versa). Platypus Partners will make new
licence details available upon renewal of your
Annual Licence Fee.
- Select Start -> Programs -> JET 3270 ->
Launch JET 3270. Your default browser will
start and open the page that loads the JET
3270 applet.
- For a Unix/Linux system:
- Create a new JET directory on your workstation
- Copy the JET 3270 tarred,
jet3270.tar, or tarred
and gzipped, jet3270.tar.gz,
archive into your
JET directory
- From your favourite shell, gunzip, using the
command: gunzip jet3270.tar.gz the
archive if required. Untar it using the
command:
tar -xvf
jet3270.tar
Note: JET 3270
now automatically includes your licence details in
the JET3270Key.jlk file in the
"applet" sub-directory. It includes a licence key
that expires. Licence details for JET 3270
versions prior to 3.2A are not compatible with
versions 3.2A and onwards (and vice versa).
Platypus Partners will make new licence details
available upon renewal of your Annual Licence
Fee.
- Using your JavaTM
enabled browser open the Shortcut.htm file in the
applet directory. This page loads the JET
3270 applet.
- For a Mac OS X system:
- Download the JET 3270 zip archive,
jet3270.zip.
- Usually the zip archive will automatically be unpacked
to create a "jet3270 Folder" on the desktop. If not use
Stuffit Expander to unpack the archive.
- Using Internet Explorer open the Shortcut.htm file in
the applet folder in the "jet3270 Folder". This page
loads the JET 3270 applet.
Download the JET 3270 tar archive with EBCDIC text files,
jet3270ebcdic.tar, to your workstation.
Using either IND$FILE or FTP transfer the tar
archive to the OS/390 system as a binary file. Since the
tar archive is a large file you may need to allocate
space.
If you transferred the archive to an MVS dataset
then copy it to a UNIX file. For example, if you
transferred the archive to an MVS dataset called
jet3270.data and /u/myuser is your UNIX
directory use the TSO/E command:
oput jet3270.data
'/u/myuser/jet3270ebcdic.tar' binary
From a UNIX shell create or identify a sub
directory of the web server's document root, change
to that directory and untar the archive into it
using a command like:
tar xvf jet3270ebcdic.tar
For example, if the archive is
/u/myuser/jet3270ebcdic.tar and the
web server's document root directory is
/usr/lpp/internet/server_root/pub then use the
following commands:
cd /usr/lpp/internet/server_root/pub
mkdir jet3270
cd jet3270
tar xvf /u/myuser/jet3270ebcdic.tar
Configure the web server so that files with the
extension .js are translated from EBCDIC to ASCII
when sent to web browsers and are sent with a MIME
type of application/x-javascript. For IBM HTTP
Server for OS/390 you need to add the following line
to the httpd.conf file (/etc/httpd.conf by default):
AddType .js application/x-javascript ebcdic
Restart the HTTP server so that it
rereads the
httpd.conf file with the commands:
cd /usr/lpp/internet/server_root
kill -SIGHUP `cat httpd-pid`
Examine the "Readme.txt" file for a description and
complete listing
of the files in the distribution. Check all files
are present and have the correct size.
Examine the "Release Notes.txt" file for
information on this version of JET
3270.
Examine the file Shortcut.htm using your favourite
text editor for a sample web page which will load
the JET 3270 applet.
To allow a user to load the JET 3270
applet you have three choices:
Use the sample Shortcut.htm file.
Create a new web page and insert the required
HTML to load the applet.
Edit an existing web page and insert the required
HTML within the page.
Restart your browser. Some browsers store loaded
applets in their memory and automatically use the stored
versions even if you click on Reload or clear the disk or
memory cache.
Using your
JavaTM
enabled browser, specify the URL of the web page
which loads the JET 3270 applet.
