Created page with "==How can the macro libraries be downloaded?== The macro libraries can be downloaded by..."

New page

==How can the macro libraries be downloaded?==
The macro libraries can be downloaded by clicking on
the link for the macro library with the right mouse
button. This will (on most browsers) bring up a pop-up menu
that will have an option Save Link As, Save target As,
Save As or something similar. Select this option and then
set the appropriate target directory (and name if desired)
for the file. The macro library will then be downloaded to to
the indicated location.

Alternatively, the left mouse button can be clicked on
the link for an macro library. This will result in the browser
prompting the user whether the file should be saved, where it
should be saved and under what name. Some browsers prompt
for this information before the macro library is actually
downloaded, others prompt for it after. Obviously, those
that prompt after will present a considerable delay before
the prompt. Opera actually prompts as soon as it receives the
file header but continues downloading while waiting for the
user response.

If the e-mail transfer is selected the macro library will be e-mailed
to the indicated e-mail address as an attachment. The attachment should
be saved to a local file and then uploaded to the mainframe exactly as
if it had been downloaded directly. Receiving the object deck via e-mail
allows the library to be sent to a different person/workstation
than the one initiating the request.

==How can the macro libraries be uploaded to the mainframe?==
Once the macro libraries are downloaded to the workstation they must
be uploaded to the MVS, VM or VSE system on the IBM mainframe.
Any file transfer mechanism can be used including FTP and IND$FILE
but regardless of the transfer mechanism some rules must be
observed.

First, the macro libraries contain binary data and hence must
be transferred as binary.

Second, the format and LRECL of the file must be specified during
the upload. This is because most workstation systems (including
Windows, Mac OS and Unix) do not have a concept of file formats
and LRECL's. This information would be lost if it were not specified
during the upload. The format of the uploaded file must be F under
VM systems and FB under MVS and VSE systems. The LRECL must be
80 on all systems and under MVS and VSE the blocksize can be any multiple
of 80 though 3120 is a common blocksize for object libraries.

When using FTP, the characteristics (RECFM, LRECL and BLOCKSIZE) of
the uploaded file can be set with the SITE and LOCSITE
FTP commands. The SITE command should be used if the FTP client
is on the workstation and the server is on the mainframe. In this case
the SITE command might have to be sent as a "quote" to the mainframe.
How this is done, depends on your workstation's FTP client.
The LOCSITE command should be used if the FTP client is on the
mainframe and the server is on the workstation.

Under MVS, you can upload an macro library either as a member of a Partitioned
Data Set (PDS) or as an individual sequential file. A PDS is recommended as
a good way to collect all your Sirius macro library uploads in one DSN, using
the member name to show the product and version.

==What are the Sirius Mods?==
The Sirius Mods is a collection of functions and enhancements
to the core Model 204 load module. These enhancements are either
products in and of themselves, or they are prerequisites for products which
are written in User Language. A site is authorized to download all of the
Sirus Mods if it is licensed for any of the products that
require these enhancements. Your authorization zap will then enable the
appropriate set of products.

Products that require the Sirius Mods include:

* Fast/Backup
* Fast/Reload
* Fast/Unload User Language Interface
* Janus Network Security
* Janus Open Server
* Janus Open Client
* Janus SOAP
* Janus Specialty Data Store
* Janus TCP/IP Base
* Janus Web Server
* Japanese Functions
* SirDBA
* SirFact
* SirFile
* Sirius Performance Enhancements
* Sirius Performance Enhancements V2
* SirLib
* SirMon
* SirPro
* SirSafe
* SirScan
* SirTune
* SirXref
* Sir2000 Field Migration Facility
* Sir2000 User Language Tools
* Trusted Login Facility

You can determine which of these products your site is authorized for by
examining <a href="https://m204.rocketsoftware.com/dlist">your customer profile</a>.
After the Sirius Mods are installed you can verify product authorizations by issuing
the SIRIUS command in an Online running a load module that
includes the Sirius Mods.

==Where can more documentation be found?==
The Rocket M204 macro libraries are distributed on an as-is basis, so no more
documentation is available.

==Is there any other help available?==

products, you should not hesitate to call our technical
support number at +1.800.755.4222. You can also e-mail us at
