InterForm Manual - System & Method

much at a time, if something should stop working. Doing an upgrade and move to iASP at
the same time could make it more difficuilt to find the cause of a problem, if something
should occour.
If you have an existing installation of InterForm400 in the SYSASP, which you want to
move to an iASP, you should first start out by saving the apf3812 library and the directories
/apf3812Home and /apf3812mail (including subdirectories). Then rename the apf3812
library (end the subsystems inside and end, save and delete journals and journal receivers
inside via the journal menu in InterForm400). Then you can rename the library to e.g.
APF3812SAV (not apf3812, apf3812old or apf3812new). Also rename the /apf3812home
and /apf3812mail directories. Now restore the apf3812 library and the directories to the
iASP:
RSTLIB SAVLIB(APF3812) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(/)
RSTASPDEV()
RST DEV('/qsys.lib/.lib/.file')
OBJ(('/apf3812home' *INCLUDE '//apf3812home'))
RST DEV('/qsys.lib/.lib/.file')
OBJ(('/apf3812mail' *INCLUDE '//apf3812mail'))
If you now upgrade to a 2009M08 version or later, the symbolic links will now be added
automatically. If you are not upgrading, you will need to add symbolic links yourself:
ADDLNK OBJ('//APF3812Home') NEW LNK('/APF3812Home')
ADDLNK OBJ('//APF3812Mail') NEW LNK('/APF3812Mail')
where should be exchanged with the name of the iASP, that you are using (do not
include the ).
Changing the setup to iASP
After you have restored (and perhaps upgraded) InterForm400 onto the iASP, you will need
to do a few changes to fit the requirements listed in the beginning of this appendix:
a) All user exit programs called by InterForm400 must be placed in the same iASP as
InterForm400 or in the system ASP.
You can generate a list of all user programs called by first changing your job to use an
output queue, that is not connected to a physical printer and then creating a spooled file,
that lists all cross references in InterForm400:
Change the default outq: CHGJOB OUTQ(APF3812/AFC_INPUT1) (or use another outq
not connected to a printer)
Create the list by running this command: APF3812/PRTXREF (You can also create the
report via option '8. Print Resource X-reference' on the InterForm400 service menu).
Now you can search the generated spooled file for '*USREXIT' to find all user programs
that can be called and from where they are called.
b) The subsystems used by InterForm400 cannot be placed in the iASP (e.g. in
library APF3812), but must be in the SYSASP, so now you need to refer to new
subsystem descriptions. To copy the subsystem descriptions and to refer to the new ones
you can select this in InterForm400:
