HP OpenVMS Online Documentation Library for HP OpenVMS on HP Integrity Servers


Overview

This document provides introductory information about the Online Documentation Library (ODL)
CD-ROM Collection.  It provides general and platform-specific installation and user
information for the ODL.

The OpenVMS I64 CD-ROM is an ISO 9660 Level 2 (ODL-ISO) compliant CD-ROM that can be run from
Microsoft Windows and OpenVMS platforms.

This disc contains documentation in HTML and PDF format, and uses HTML pages as the
navigation mechanism to browse to and display documents.  A search engine is also included
for full text searching (Windows platforms only).


System Requirements

* OpenVMS Version I64 8.2 or later
* Windows 98 SE, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP
* Web Browser
* Adobe Acrobat Reader
* Java[R] 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.3 or later (Windows platforms)


Mounting the ODL-ISO CD-ROM:

Windows Platforms:

* Insert the ODL-ISO disc into your CD-ROM drive

OpenVMS Platforms:

* $ MOUNT/OVER=ID/MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM/UNDEFINED_FAT=(STREAM:2048) DEVICE: 


Browsing the ODL-ISO 

To begin browsing the ODL-ISO CD-ROM, open index.htm from the root of the CD-ROM in your web
browser.

For a listing of products available on this CD-ROM, open PRODLIST.HTM from the /ODLDOC folder
on the CD-ROM or click on the link from CONTENTS.HTM. 


Searching ODL-ISO (Windows platforms only)

The main ODL page should display and the ASTAware SearchDisc search engine should launch when
the disc is inserted into the drive.  If it does not, run the SDWinjava.bat file from the
root of the CD-ROM.  The ASTAware SearchDisc icon should appear in your taskbar when the
search engine is running.

You can enter a search query in the search box from any ODL navigation page on the CD-ROM.

**IMPORTANT**  You must shut down the search engine by clicking the SearchDisc icon in your
taskbar, before you eject the CD-ROM from your drive.


Configuring ODL-ISO Search for a Hard Drive (Windows Platforms Only)

Note:  See known issue below if your language settings are not set to US English.

If you choose to copy the ODL-ISO CD-ROM content to a hard drive, you will need to
reconfigure the search engine to retrieve search results from the new location. 

* Copy the entire CD-ROM to an area on a hard drive.  For example, C:\ODL

* Be sure that the search engine is shut down before proceeding.  To shut the search engine
down, click on the SearchDisc icon in your taskbar, and click yes when asked if you would
like to shut down the search engine.

* Run MediaSwitcher.exe from the area you copied the CD-ROM to.  This will reconfigure the
search engine to search and retrieve search results from the new ODL-ISO location.  This
executable is located at the root of the CD-ROM.  

* Enter the path where you copied your ODL CD-ROM to in the "Select the SearchDisc
Installation Folder" box.  For example, if you copied the CD-ROM to your C: drive in a folder
named ODL, enter C:\ODL here.  Click Next.

* Enter the path again where you copied your ODL CD-ROM to in the "Select the Search
Documents Folder" box.  Click Install.

* Restart the search engine by starting autolaunch.exe from the new location.  

***Known Issue***  The installer used for the Media Switch Utility described above is not
currently supported with all language settings.   If your language is not supported, you will
receive an error stating Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported, when attempting to
run MediaSwitcher.exe from the root of the ODL collection on your hard drive.  

You can use either of the following workarounds to address this:

* Create a network drive of the directory where the ODL CD-ROM was copied to, making it
appear as a virtual drive.  From there, open autolaunch.exe

* Temporarily change your regional settings on your computer to US English, run the
MediaSwitcher.exe, and then change your settings back to your original settings.
