Using the Robot Product Maintenance Wizard

Introduction

The Robot Product Maintenance Wizard is installed on your PC and allows you to move downloaded product files from your PC to the System i.

Note: You only need to install the Wizard once. After it is installed on your PC, you can use it with all future product downloads.

Using the Robot Product Maintenance Wizard

  1. To download the Wizard software to your PC, click Robot Product Maintenance Wizard on the product download page. Double-click the Wizard setup program (setupprodmaint1.exe) on your PC and follow the setup instructions to install the Wizard.

    Note: If the Wizard is already installed on your PC, you do not need to install it again.

  2. Download the System i files for your product. The downloaded product files have an extension of .hs when you view them on your PC. Double-click the product file to start the Product Maintenance Wizard. Then, follow the instructions that display.
  3. When the Robot Product Maintenance Wizard starts, it will prompt you for a destination system. Specify the system (or its IP address) where you want to install the product.
  4. When the Choose Login Information window displays, enter a valid user profile name and password for the specified system. Use a user profile that is a member of the user class *SECOFR and has at least the following special authorities: *ALLOBJ, *SECADM, *JOBCTL, and *IOSYSCFG. The user profile should have Limit capabilities set to *NO.

    5. The Product Maintenance Wizard signs on to your system with the user name you provide and restores the save files needed for the product.

    Notes:

    • A product update usually completes automatically. If it cannot complete automatically, instructions display to help you finish the update.
    • If you are installing a trial version of the product, follow the Wizard instructions to display the Maintain Help/Systems Products menu. Review the installation instructions referenced in the product ReadMe file. Read the section headed Before You Begin for any specific information you need to know before you install the product.
    • If you are converting a product, follow the conversion instructions for your product.
  5. When the Completion window displays, click the Finish button to exit the Product Maintenance Wizard.

Note: If the Upload in Progress window says Ended in Error, it means that the product upload could not complete properly. To find the reason the upload failed, click OK, and then click View Logs and review your job log.

After you are sure that the upload has completed properly, you can delete the .hs file from your PC.

Note: License codes for product trials are valid for 30 days.
