MICSAMO is a
Broadcom
-supplied utility that extracts data from the NSM Asset Management Database and creates a CSV file that can be transferred to a data set on the host where MICS
resides by the MICSXFR program for further processing.MICSAMO requires:
- Pentium class PC capable of running NSM
- Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
- 10M of hard disk space
- NSM Version 2.1 or later with Asset Management Option 3.0 or later installed.
To install a copy of MICSAMO on your workstation, complete the following checklist:
- Download MICSAMOZ from sharedprefix.MICS.BIN.To use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to transfer MICSAMOZ to your Microsoft Windows Workstation, perform the following steps in order:
- Open a DOS command window.
- Start the FTP program using the following:FTP <hostname>where <hostname> is the machine name or the IP address of the OS/390 system.Supply the host userid and password as prompted.
- Set binary transfer mode by entering the following command (in lower case):binaryThis FTP command and those to follow * * must be entered in lower case. *
- Set the name of the host data set with the following:cd 'sharedprefix.MICS.BIN'
- Set the directory name of the workstation directory to hold MICSAMOZ with the following command:lcd <directory>where <directory> is a directory on the workstation which will contain MICSAMOZ. Generally, this is a temporary or working directory (e.g. C:\TEMP).
- Transfer the MICSAMOZ to the workstation with the following command:get MICSAMOZ MICSAMOZ.EXEThis will copy MICSAMOZ to the directory specified in step e and rename it to MICSAMOZ.EXE.
- Once the transfer is complete, exit FTP by entering:quit
- Run MICSAMOZ.EXE. This starts the self-extracting process. You will be prompted for a location in which to store the unzipped files.
- In the directory chosen in Step 2, you will find a sub directory named MICSAMO_Install_Disk. Within this directory you will find the SETUP.EXE program. Run SETUP.EXE to install theMICSAMO Extract program.
- Once you have successfully installed MICSAMO, you can delete the MICSAMO_Install_Disk directory.
