Installing the IBM i Enterprise Server (Magic xpa 3.x)

Make sure you can ping the IBM i server prior to server installation.

To install the Server program from a Client PC:

  1. Download the magicxpa3.1_ibmi.zip file from Magic's FTP download site and save it to your PC's temp directory.

  2. Extract the XPA031000 file from the zip archive.

  3. Copy the XPA031000 file into any IFS directory of your IBM i server using one of the methods below:

  • IBM i Client Access

  • IFS Windows network sharing

  • FTP

  • NFS Share

  1. Install the product using the INSMSEPRD System i command.

  • If you have previously installed the MSEGPL library with the INSMSEPRD command, type MSEGPL/INSMSEPRD from the IBM i command line and press Enter.

  • If you have not previously installed the MSEGPL library with the INSMSEPRD command, follow the steps provided in the Install MSE Product (INSMSEPRD) Tool topic and then run the MSEGPL/INSMSEPRD command.

  1. The Install MSE product display appears. At the Stream file prompt, specify the name of the STMF you downloaded in Step 4.

  2. Fill in the Installation Name parameter, which is the name of the new Library and IFS directory. Example: MAGICXPA31.

  3. Fill in the root of the server’s IFS directory. The default is /, which means that the server directory will be created in the IFS root. Example: /MAGICXPA31.

  4. Specify whether you need a CGI directory to be created in /QOpenSys. If you are planning to only use Magic xpa as a partitioning engine, then there is no need to create a directory in QOpenSys.

  5. Fill in the CCSID – ANSII parameter, which is the CCSID of your environments. Example: 1252 for West European countries or 1250 for East European countries.

  6. Sign off of your 5250 in order to clean QTEMP after the installation.

    It is also possible to install the Magic xpa server without the INSMSEPRD command.

a. Copy XPA031000 to the IBM i save file (SAVF) using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) in binary mode.

b. Restore the content of save file into the QTEMP library.

RSTOBJ OBJ(INSTALL*) SAVLIB(PRODUCT) DEV(*SAVF) OBJTYPE(*ALL)
SAVF(QTEMP/PART9999) MBROPT(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) RSTLIB(QTEMP)

d. Run QTEMP/INSTALL and continue from step 6 above.
