Installing Zuken Software


First thing was to put the cd into edg and copy all its contents to any hard drive. This is because of the ;1 problem with mounting on HPs, the scripts just didn't seem to work.

mkdir /net/edg/disk3/visula --Seemed like a good place to put the program

export red_cdrom=/net/edg/disk5/zuken --This is where I copied the contens of the cd

$red_cdrom/INSTALL.EXE -no_auth -full --Starts the installation, without having a license file

I had to stop when I found out that it required a user and group named redac. It even recommended to use 742 for both the uid and gid, so I set up this dummy account. Started again, this time from /net/edg/disk3/visula because I found it doesn't ask you for the directory, but just puts it in the directory from which the script is started. Installation finished successfully.

According to the directions, there were only two environment variables that needed to be set and a script that needed to be sourced for everything to run. The problem was that the script only worked with csh, which no one here uses. So instead of modifying the script, I just found out which environment variables it set and hard coded them into the edg startup script. The following are the variables I set:

export red_redac=/net/edg/disk3/visula/unplugged
export red_job=no
export red_programs=$red_redac/programs
export VISION_SEARCHPATH=$red_redac/programs/resources
export red_data=RED_DATA_NOT_FOUND
export DATEFORMAT=1
export LANG=C

The following variables were also modified:

AMPLE_PATH + /net/edg/disk3/visula/unplugged/programs/resources/mentor_unplug/userware
SHLIB_PATH + $red_redac/programs/ldlibs
LM_LICENSE_FILE + $red_redac/install_procs/auths/license.dat (though I don't yet have a license)
MGC_TYPE_REGISTRY + $red_redac/programs/resources/mentor_unplug/registry/zr_unplug.rgy
PATH + /net/edg/disk3/visula/unplugged/programs

Finally, to be able to call the program from Design Manager, I added the toolbox to the search path. This is done in $MGC_HOME/edg_ample_files/userware/dme/dmgr_session_window.ample.
