Decompressing the ZIP Files
JAMS is downloaded as a self-extracting Zip archive with a filename of:
- JAMSAXP042x.EXE
- JAMSIA042x.EXE or
- AMSVAX042x.EXE
“X” is replaced with the patch number of the kit.
These self-extracting zip archives are OpenVMS executable images and are unpacked by just running them. The archives contain the following files:
- JAMS_DEMO_LICENSE.COM
- JAMSAXP042.A (or JAMSIA042.A or JAMSVAX042.A)

- JAMSAXP042.C (or JAMSIA042.C or JAMSVAX042.C)
 |
Note: The JAMS_DEMO_LICENSE.COM is a command procedure used to register a demo license. If you have a permanent license PAK, you do not need to use this procedure. |
Accessing the Online Release Notes
JAMS provides online release notes. If you use OPTIONS N on the VMSINSTAL command line, the installation procedure will ask if you want to display or print these release notes. To obtain the release notes after installation, type or print the file: SYS$HELP:JAMS042.RELEASE_NOTES.
License Registration
Before installing JAMS on a newly licensed node or cluster, you must first register and load a License Product Authorization Key (License PAK). The JAMS License PAK is registered and loaded using the standard VMS License Management Facility (LMF).
If you have a demonstration license PAK, you can register it with the JAMS_DEMO_LICENSE.COM command procedure. This command procedure is located on the CD-ROM in the [JAMS040] directory.
|
Note that demonstration licenses have a product name of JAMS-DEMO and real licenses have a product name of JAMS. Example license management command displays a JAMS product name, which must change to JAMS-DEMO if working with a demonstration license. |
To register a license under VMS, first log into the system manager's account, SYSTEM. You then have a choice of two methods to register and load the License PAK:
- Invoke the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM command procedure and respond to the prompts with data from the JAMS PAK.
- At the DCL prompt, enter the LICENSE REGISTER command with the qualifiers that correspond to the information on the JAMS PAK. Then issue the command:
