INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS a. Before starting this installation, make sure you have a viable complete system backup. b. It is recommended that you use a terminal which has true VT-100 emulation during this installation (NOT THE CONSOLE ON A RISC MACHINE SINCE IT IS AN IBM 3151). The video display on a terminal which is NOT emulating a VT-100 will not display properly using KIDS (Kernel Installation and Distribution System). c. If you choose to load this patch remotely (not sitting close to the CPU) then FIRST make sure you have an UNTIED terminal (one that is not tied to the ZU command) from which to do the installation. The reason for this is when you disable user logins you won't accidentally lock yourself out of the database. d. It is recommended that the terminal output during the installation be captured using an auxport printer attached to the terminal at which you are performing the software installation. This will assure a printed audit trail if any problems should arise. e. Users ARE allowed to be on the system during the installation. f.
