HP OpenVMS Integrity Servers Online Documentation Library


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[R] Windows[R] 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.
