Downloading Automation Dashboards

Before You Begin

If you use SEQUEL ViewPoint and have any of the following automation products on your system, Help/Systems offers free dashboards that you can download:

  • Robot/Alert
  • Robot/Client
  • Robot/Console
  • Robot/Replay
  • Robot/Reports
  • Robot/Save
  • Robot/Schedule (version 9 or 10)\Robot/Security
  • Robot/Transform

The download process creates a library called RBTSEQEX on your S ystem i. It also creates a folder on your PC desktop that contains all the downloaded dashboards. You can customize the views and graphics in the dashboards; however, you should save all changes into a library other than
RBTSEQEX to prevent future dashboard downloads from overwriting your changes.

Steps to Download Dashboards

Do the following to download the automation dashboards:

  1. Go to the Help/Systems Web site at: http://www.helpsystems.com/download/.

    2. If you are already registered, enter your e-mail address and password in the Downloads Login box. If this is your first visit to the Downloads page, click the Register button in the Downloads Login box and complete the information to register.

  2. When the Download Index page displays, click Updates.
  3. Find a Robot Dashboard Templates for SEQUEL users link. (The dashboard templates link appears under several Robot products. Y ou can select any link; the download copies all available dashboards to your system.) Click a link to display the Downloads page.
  4. On the Downloads page, click the Dashboard1.exe file.
  5. Enter the serial number and OS version of the System i where the RBTSE QEX library is to be installed.
  6. When the File Download–Security Warning box displays, click Run.

    7. If another Security Warning box displays with the message, “The publisher could not be verified,” select Run.

  7. On the Automated Dashboard Setup window, select Install.
  8. When prompted, enter the name of the System i and the FTP port to install to and click Next.
  9. Enter a valid System i user profile and password and click Next.
  10. Confirm that all data is correct and click Start.
  11. When the Installation Complete window displays, click Finish.
  12. If you previously have downloaded the Robot dashboards, a Confirmation window displays asking if you want to replace the folder on your desktop that contains the dashboards. Click OK.
  13. The download creates a new folder on your PC desktop containing all the Robot dashboards. The folder name is sysname–Automation Dashboard (where sysname is the name of the System i you downloaded to).

If you use Robot/Security

If you use Robot/Security on more than one system (or partition), the Robot dashboards allow you to create a QAUDJRN consolidation report that collects data from multiple systems.

  • If you choose not to use the consolidation report, or Robot/SE CURITY is installed on only one system, you must modify the AUDJRNL SE QUEL script as follows:

    • MONMSG

    SEQUEL/EXECUTE VIEW(RBTSEQEX/AUDJRNLOC) OUTFILE(RBTSEQEX/AUDJRN)

    /*SEQUEL/EXECUTE VIEW(RBTSEQEX/AUDJRNRMT) OUTFILE(RBTSEQEX/AUDJRNRMT) */

    /* SEQUEL/EXECUTE VIEW(RBTSEQEX/AUDJRNRMT1) OUTFILE(RBTSEQEX/AUDJRN) MBROPT(*ADD) */

    SEQUEL/REPORT REPORT(RBTSEQEX/AUDJRNREP) OUTQ(*NONE)

  • If Robot/SECURITY is installed on more than one system and you want to use the QAUDJRN  consolidation report, do the following:
    • Create a remote database connection to your other System i or partition.
    • Edit the AUDJRNRMT view to point to the remote database connection. Select File/Properties and change the database name.
    • Change the sysname field in the AUDJRNRMT 1 view to the name of the remote system.
