Audience

Most companies using FASPAC find it useful to assign one employee to perform

the functions of key operator. This individual serves as the single point of contact

for issues that involve use and operation of the computer system. This person

also performs important maintenance procedures such as backups and rebooting

the server.

This document is intended for the key operator and assumes the key operator has

basic knowledge of UNIX server administration (such as adding printers and

users). However, the key operator does not have to be proficient in the use of

FASPAC programs.

Administrative Tasks

The key operator usually performs the following tasks:

• Reboots the server, or powers it off/on

• Backs up data daily, weekly, and monthly

• Reorganizes the disk on a regular basis using CKK

• Installs FASPAC releases and updates

• Transfers files between the FASPAC host system and PCs

• Terminates user processes when necessary

• Ensures that equipment is operated correctly, and is cleaned and servicedon a regular basis

• Assists in equipment configuration changes

• Notifies company management of operating difficulties or unresolvedproblems

• Receives questions and problems from operating staff

• Reports problems to the FASPAC Customer Service Line

• Maintain adequate supplies of:

– Paper and custom forms

– Printer ribbons or toner cartridges

– Magnetic tapes for backups.

4Backing Up Files

Why Run the Backup Programs?

In the event of a system failure, all of the information in your FASPAC system

could be lost and you will need to restore your files. Full restoration is possible

only if you always follow the backup routines recommended for your system.

What Do the BACK Programs Do?

The Daily Backup is performed when the BACK program is run. It copies your

data files to one or more daily backup tapes.

The Weekly Backup runs instead of a daily backup on the day of the week you

selected when your FASPAC Release or Release Update was installed. The

Weekly Backup performs the following tasks:

• Copies your data files to one or more weekly backup tapes.

• Copies the FASPAC programs to one or more weekly backup tapes.

What Does the OSBACK Program Do?

The OSBACK should be run once a month. It copies the FASPAC program files

and the complete operating system to one or more tapes.

FPD/101-04 4-1

Backup Options (UTIL/BKUP)

The backup options are standard in FASPAC and provide you with all of the

programs required to ensure that your system is totally backed up. We

recommend the following procedures:

• Back up your system’s data files every day (BKUP/BACK)

• Back up your system’s data files and FASPAC programs once a week

(BKUP/BACK)

• Back up the operating system once a month (BKUP/OSBK)

The Daily Backup will only back up data files. The Weekly Backup will back up

data files and FASPAC program files.

During the 10th through the 17th of every month, you will be reminded to run the

Operating System Backup (OSBK). This procedure will back up the necessary

files required in an emergency situation (such as a disk failure) to get your

system functional once again. If an OSBK tape has not been created and your

disk fails, we will not have the necessary software required to restore your

system. We would have to create an emergency boot tape and then ship it to you

by air freight. This could take up to three working days, which in turn means

your operation would be totally shut down until this tape is loaded.

The OSBK function is a separate function from the BACK program—you will

only be reminded to run it on a monthly basis.

When you perform these backup operations, the information required to fully

restore your system has been recorded on the backup media. This information is

required to restore the system in the case of a catastrophic failure.

Customizing Backups

If you plan to customize your backups, we suggest you customize them only on

special occasions. Once the customized backup has completed, delete the

customized backup. We do not want you to risk not having all necessary

data on the backup tape in case of an emergency.

Note: Remember, if you customize your backup only those files you have

specified will be backed up to tape. If you encounter any disk problems or file

problems, we can only restore the data files that reside on that tape.

Customizing is discussed in List Backup Options (BKUP/LIST) on page 4-7.

Backup (BKUP/BACK)

Use this program to run the Daily and Weekly Backup procedures. You can run it

immediately or set a future time for the backup to run.

When the Backup is finished, a listing is printed either to the system default

printer or to another printer you have specified.

To perform the backup:

Make sure all users are signed off FASPAC. If the terminals are actively working

during the backup, we cannot be sure what data is on the tape. If a restore is

necessary, it will be up to you and your users to determine what data is missing.

We can only recreate your data up to the point when the original backup took

place, resulting in many partial records being restored.

1. From any FASPAC menu, type BACK and press Return.

The following message appears:

Please Put Backup Tape in Tape Drive

Press RETURN to continue

2. Insert a tape in the tape drive and press Return.

The program calculates how many tapes are required and lists

information about the backup job.

3. Type y and press Return to continue.

The following screen appears:

4. Press F8 to accept the default time, or enter the time in military format

(for example, 23:30 is 11:30 PM, and 02:30 is 2:30 AM).

• Type the hour and press Return.

• Type the minute and press Return.

In the above example, the time is set for one minute to midnight.

Note: If you enter a time that is prior to the current system hour, the backup job

will start immediately.

5. To quit the program without running the backup job, press F7 or CMD

before you press Return in the Minute field.

6. To run a backup job immediately, enter a time that is equal to the current

system time.

Note: If you enter a future time to run a backup, helpful hints, constructed as

questions and answers, display on the screen until the backup starts.

When the Backup starts, it checks to see if there are any users logged on the

system. If there are, the backup still takes place and a listing of these terminals is

printed on the Backup Listing.

You must wait until the process has terminated

OS Backup (BKUP/OSBK)

We recommend that you perform an Operating System backup once a month and

store the tapes in a safe place. You will not be forced to run this backup—you

will only be reminded that this should be done.

We suggest that you have multiple sets of tapes that you can alternate between

months.

Note: Remember to run the Daily Backup that day (or evening).

List Backup Options (BKUP/LIST)

The List Backup Options module allows you to customize the Daily or Weekly

Backups. You can:

• Select the printer on which it will print the backup log

• Select the tape drive to which the backup will write each day and each

week

• Select the files to be backed up each day

• Select the files to be backed up each week

When you run the BACK program, the system first checks to see if there are any

entries in the customized area. If so, it will use these entries as the parameters for

the backup. If the system checks this customized area and does not find any

entries, it will use the original backup script.

After you have customized the backup script, you can delete the custom

parameters and the system will use the original backup script.

The List Backup Options menu provides the following programs for customizing

your backup procedure:

1 - DISPLAY CUSTOM DAILY BACKUP—Displays the path names of the

files that will be backed up to a tape on a daily basis.

2 - DISPLAY CUSTOM WEEKLY BACKUP—Displays the path names of

5Printers

Operating Tips

Normal operating procedures for printers are as follows:

• Leave the printer turned on except during electrical storms.

• Make sure the printer is in an on-line state.

• If the printer is attached to a terminal or PC, make sure the terminal/PC is

turned on and logged on.

Printing Reports

You can send reports directly to a printer or to the spooler, as long as everyone in

the company does it the same way. The best way to ensure that everyone is doing

the same thing is to accept the default in the Spool fields when running PRT.

Printing Forms

Send forms directly to the printer instead of the spooler.

1. Be sure no one is using the printer and that no one will attempt to use it

until you are finished printing the forms.

2. Put your forms in the printer and line them up as well as possible.

3. Press F3 at the FASPAC Main Menu to run PRT.

The following question is displayed below the printer you will be using:

Spool (y/n)

4. Enter n.

5. Run the program to print the forms.

Set a User’s PRT Defaults (UTIL/PTR/PSET)

Use the PSET program to customize default printer assignments for a specific

login ID or terminal ID.

Default printer assignments are the assignments that display when users sign on

to FASPAC, as well as when they run the PRT program. If the PRT program is

used to change one or more of the default printer assignments, the change is in

effect only until the users sign off or until they run the PRT program again, at

which time the default printer assignments take over.

PSET works in the following manner:

• If default printer assignments are entered for a specific login ID, they are

used whenever the login ID is used, no matter which terminal is used.

• If the default printer assignments are entered for a specific terminal ID,

they are used at the terminal when any login without default printer

assignments is used.

• If a login ID with custom default printer assignments is used at a terminal

with custom default printer assignments, the login’s custom default printer

assignments are used.

After default printer assignments have been customized in the PSET program,

they remain until they are changed in the PSET program. Logging off the system

does not delete the custom default printer assignments.

Before You Begin

Your system configuration may differ from the example used in these

instructions.

Valid entries in the Printer files are:

• lp# or ttyi## or ttyj## or ttya# for a direct serial printer

• tty# or muxp# or tp# or tq# or ttyp# for an attached printer

Note: Replace the # sign with a terminal number from 0 to 255.

Note: New default printer assignments entered through the PSET program do not

go into effect until you sign off from FASPAC, log out of the system completely,

and log in again.

Set Printer Assignments (UTIL/PTR/PRT)

The PRT program automatically runs during the sign on process and can also be

run at any time from the FASPAC Main Menu. It can be used to temporarily

change the default printer assignments, and to reset the default printer

assignments when the temporary change is no longer required.

Note: All users can run PRT and make temporary changes to their printer

assignments.

The Spool option is used to increase productivity by buffering output sent to a

printer. This frees the terminal to do other things while the printer is printing.

Spooling creates one problem if not used consistently across the system: if two

people print to the same printer with one spooling and the other not spooling, the

two printouts will be mixed together. We recommend that the Spool fields be set

for system-wide use and that the entries in the Spool fields always be accepted.

Use PSET to change some or all of the default entries in the Spool field.

Before You Begin

Your system configuration may differ from the example used in these

instructions.

Valid entries in the Printer files are:

• lp# or ttyi## or ttyj## or ttya# for a direct serial printer

• tty# or muxp# or tp# or tq# or ttyp# for an attached printer

Note: Replace the # with a terminal number from 0 to 255.

• A file name of any length

Note: Do not start a file name with lp or tt; start the file name with a slash (/) to

put it in a specific directory. Enter the file name without a slash (/) as the first

character to put the file in the work directory /u/work.

WYSE 325

The definition for this terminal was called “w10”. This is the acucobol a_termcap

entry as tested in vt220-7 bit mode.

We have re-mapped the hi-intensity attribute to an underline attribute, since the

hi-intensity was interpreted by the terminal as a combination of (intensity-reverse

video) attribute and caused major problems in displaying clean FASPAC Menus.

Requirements for FASPAC/PC Terminals

• An IBM compatible PC

• Standard IBM parallel printer interface

• Serial communications interface

• MS-DOS (not PC-DOS) 3.2 or higher

• Multi-Scream or another emulator

• Minimum 640K RAM

• A hard disk is recommended, 20Mb or larger

• A 101- or 102-key keyboard

Configuration Information Required by FASPAC

• Type of floppy disk:

– 5¼� 360Kb (PC)

– 5¼� 1.2Mb (AT) (most will also read a 360Kb floppy)

– 3½� 720Kb (PS/2)

– 3½� 1.4Mb

• Type of serial port connector:

– 25-pin connector (PC)

– 9-pin connector (AT)

• Type of keyboard (101 or 102 keys)

GUIDELINES FOR PC WORKSTATIONS

Page 114: UNIX Key Operator’s Guide - Epicor Customer Web Siteerpcustomer.epicor.com/docu/faspac/systemAdmin/FASPAC UNIX Key... · UNIX Key Operator’s Guide for SCO, AIX, and HP-UX FASPAC

Helpful Hints

• Work with a local computer store to select PC hardware and software and

for instructions on installation and use.

• Check out local repair services.

• Faspac Technical or Application Support cannot help with PC software

you purchased elsewhere, as we do not know the product.

PC Software

There are three kinds of PC software:

• The Operating System, such as MS-DOS. It controls all functions. The

machine will not run without it.

• Utility Programs such as TI Emulator, X-Tree, Disk Optimizer. These are

friendly little helpers used to manage resources and maintain effective

operation.

• Application Programs such as Lotus 1-2-3, Word Perfect, Word, usually

the reason you bought your PC.

Emulation Software

PCs with emulation software can connect to all SCO, HP-UX, and AIX UNIX

systems.

The emulation program we recommend is the latest version of Procomm Plus.

You will also need the wpds.kbd file, which is the keyboard mapping file for

Procomm Plus.

If you do not have the wpds.kbd file, contact Faspac Sales.

7Transferring Files

Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you can transfer data files between the

FASPAC host system and your PC so that you can work with them if necessary

in word processing or spreadsheet programs.

You can transfer files by using:

• QVTNet

• Multi-Scream or Procomm Emulator Utilities.

Before Transferring Files

Before using FTP, make sure you have the following:

• IP address or host name of the system you are accessing.

• Login name and password to the host computer, which will take you to theoperating system prompt (not the FASPAC Main Menu). Call theFASPAC Customer Service Line if you need a login name and password.

• Name of the directory in which you are storing the data file on FASPAC.

• Directory path to the data file you are storing on your PC.

8Reorganizing FASPAC Files

Use the FASPAC CKK (UTIL/SYST/CKK) program to reorganize FASPAC

files so they are less fragmented. Less fragmented files result in quicker

day-to-day operations on the system and a faster backup process.

Run CKK at the beginning of each new month after the old month has been

closed and all files have been purged. Always perform a backup before running

CKK.

You can run CKK only from the main console.

Caution! Do not stop the CKK program after it starts running.

Before You Run CKK

Do the following before you run CKK:

1. Back up your system’s data files and FASPAC programs by running

UTIL/BKUP/BACK.

2. Make sure the printer on which you are printing the CKK listing is online

and loaded with paper.

3. Make sure all other users are logged off the system.

�FWI OPTION Users Only: If you are using the FASPAC Web Interface

(FWI), you must stop Unattended Transaction Processing (UTP) before running

CKK. From FASPAC, type ADM/SYS/OPT/UTP/STOP.

4. After CKK has completed, reboot the system to restart the UTP process.

FPD/101-04 8-1

Page 122: UNIX Key Operator’s Guide - Epicor Customer Web Siteerpcustomer.epicor.com/docu/faspac/systemAdmin/FASPAC UNIX Key... · UNIX Key Operator’s Guide for SCO, AIX, and HP-UX FASPAC

Logging Off All Users

First check that all users are logged off before you run CKK.

1. From any FASPAC Menu, type WHO and press Return.

A screen similar to the following appears:

2. Type Q and press Return to exit the screen.

3. Notify all users to log off the system.

4. After all users have logged off, rerun WHO and check again. If any users

remain logged in, end their sessions (see Chapter 13: Troubleshooting).

Page 123: UNIX Key Operator’s Guide - Epicor Customer Web Siteerpcustomer.epicor.com/docu/faspac/systemAdmin/FASPAC UNIX Key... · UNIX Key Operator’s Guide for SCO, AIX, and HP-UX FASPAC

Running CKK

When you are certain that your login session is the only open session, run CKK.

1. From any FASPAC Menu, type CKK and press Return.

The following screen appears:

2. To exit CKK without running it, press F7.

3. To run CKK for all files and print the listing on the displayed printer,

4. To run CKK for one file, or to change the printer, follow these steps:

• Type the file name and press Return.

• Type the printer and press Return.

• Type y and press Return.

Note: If all users have logged off the system, but the message “Error Count

of 1” is displayed on the terminal and the message “Too many users on

the system” is printed on the listing, CKK will not run. Call the FASPAC

Customer Service Line.

Information is displayed on the screen while CKK runs. When it is

finished, the listing is printed and the FASPAC Main Menu is displayed.

5. Check the listing for errors. See Sample CKK Listing on the next page.

6. Reboot the system to restart the UTP process.

Page 124: UNIX Key Operator’s Guide - Epicor Customer Web Siteerpcustomer.epicor.com/docu/faspac/systemAdmin/FASPAC UNIX Key... · UNIX Key Operator’s Guide for SCO, AIX, and HP-UX FASPAC

Sample CKK Listing

If the word Error appears anywhere on the CKK listing, call the FASPAC

Customer Service Support Line before returning to normal operations.

Exception: If a Reads/Writes error is listed, you can resume normal operations,

but do call the FASPAC Customer Service Support Line and report the error.

If any other errors appear on the listing, call the FASPAC Customer Service

Support Line before resuming work in FASPAC.

11Power Monitoring Software

Power monitoring software is used to alert you that the system has lost power and

has been placed on battery backup (such as during a power failure). The

Uninterruptible Power Supply is designed to supply power to the system in the

event of a power failure to allow you enough time to sign off without losing data.

Your system includes PowerChute software, working in conjunction with the

American Power Conversion (APC) Smart UPS battery backup. A

communications cable connects the APC backup unit to the main system at COM

port 2. In the event of a power outage, the PowerChute software shuts the system

down correctly.
