Installation instructions
There are four common scenarios for installation of this version:
Installation steps for each scenario are found in the following sections.
Performing a new installation
Note: in the following, replace drive X: with the drive letter that your Buspkg software is installed on. For stand-alone computers this is normally C:. On an
network you need to choose a drive letter to map for your installation.
1. If you are on a network, you need to decide which server or workstation will hold the Business Package. Share the drive or directory which will be used. Choose a
drive letter and map a network drive on each workstation to the share on the server.
2. Create folders on the drive for:
X:\BAT
X:\DBL
X:\BUSPKG
X:\BUSPKG\JCSRCE
X:\BUSPKG\JCPROG
X:\BUSPKG\JCFILE
X:\BUSPKG\GLSRCE
X:\BUSPKG\GLPROG
X:\BUSPKG\GLFILE
X:\SS
3. Install the new DBL software as follows:
A. Copy the DBL441.ZIP file to the X:\DBL directory.
B. Extract the files from DBL411.ZIP using WinZip or Pkunzip.
4. Install the new source code as follows:
A. Copy the BUSPKG530D.ZIP file to your X:\ root directory.
B. Extract the files from BUSPKG530D.ZIP using Win ZIP or Pkunzip.
C. Move the contents of the \BUSPKG\BAT directory to your X:\BAT directory.
D. Copy the \BUSPKG\InBusP.xls and \BUSPKG\InBusPDataEntry.doc files to your X:\SS directory.
This makes a new directory for the batch spreadsheets in X:\SS. The Excel spreadsheet for preparing transaction batches is named InBusP.xls. The instructions are in a Word document named InBusPDatyEntry.doc.
5. Add the X:\BAT and X:\DBL directories to your DOS Path.
A. Go to a DOS prompt
B. C: <Enter>
C. EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT
D. A typical DOS Path would look like this:
PATH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;\C:\WINDOWS;X:\BAT;X:\DBL
Remember to substitute X: with the drive letter where your Buspkg is located.
E. Exit and save the file.
F. Reboot
6. Edit the USER.DSC file to select installation parameters.
A. Go to a DOS prompt.
B. X: <Enter>
C. CD \BUSPKG\JCSRCE <Enter>
D. EDIT USER.DSC <Enter>
E. Select the parameters for your site, as explained in the text of the file.
F. When you are satisfied with the settings, save the file and exit the editor. If you
discover later that you have made any wrong settings, this procedure and the following can be repeated.
7. Compile the programs.
A. MAKESIM<Enter>
B. The programs will be compiled.
8. If your Business package is not installed on your C: drive, you must create a bat file for starting the Business package.
A. CD \BAT
B. EDIT MENUC.BAT
C. Change all occurrences of C: to whatever drive letter your Business Package files are installed on.
D. File...Save As... the file to MENUx.BAT where x is the drive letter you are using. Exit the editor.
9. Copy the "Shortcut to Menuc.bat" file from X:\BAT to your desktop. If desired you can rename it to whatever you like. This will be used to start the Business
Package. If your Business Package is not installed on drive C:, you must change the target in the properties of the shortcut to the drive letter and MENUx.BAT file name corresponding to the bat file you just created.
10. The installation is complete. Test to see that everything is working.
11. Now make a new complete backup of your hard disk.
Upgrading both the Buspkg and the DBL language
Note: in the following, replace drive X: with the drive letter that your Buspkg software is installed on. For stand-alone computers this is normally C:. On an
network you need to find out what drive letter has been mapped.
1. There are several steps before installing the new software. At this point you should be still running the old version DBL.
2. Make a complete backup of your Business Package including the X:\Bat, X:\Dbl,
and X:\Buspkg directory trees. There also should be no pending batches to be posted to the G/L.
