COMS and TPS Installation

Follow these instructions to set up TPS for AB Suite.

Install the TPS program and TPS library

To install the TPS program and library:

COPY NGEN28/TPS AS *NGEN28/TPS TO <alternate pack>(PACK);
COPY NGEN28/1/TPSLIB AS *NGEN28/1/TPSLIB TO <alternate pack>(PACK);

Create entities in COMS for TPS

Create a data file called TPS/CONFIG. Include the following:

CREATE PROGRAM TPS

  TITLE                      = NGEN28/TPS
  ,FAMILY                    = "."
  ,USERCODE                  = "."
  ,PRIORITY                  = 50
  ,INPUT QUEUE MEMORY SIZE   = 3000
  ,MAX COPIES                = 001
  ,MIN COPIES                = 001
;
CREATE WINDOW  TPS
  NOTIFY OPEN                = Y
  ,NOTIFY ON                 = Y
  ,ON TEXT                   = "HELP"
;
CREATE AGENDA  TPS OF TPS
  DEFAULT INPUT              = Y
  ,DEFAULT OUTPUT            = N
  ,DESTINATION               = TPS
;

From COMS UTILITY, load the file called TPS/CONFIG.

If you are an existing COMS user with a predefined window for TPS, you should ensure that the following changes are made, by using COMS UTILITY.

  1. 1. For the TPS window:

    NOTIFY OPEN ACTIVITY   >Y<             (not N)
    NOTIFICATION TEXT      >              <(blank)
    
  2. 2. For your Terminal Printer station details:

    DEFAULT WINDOW         >TPS           <
    DEVICE TYPE            >DEFAULTDEVICE <
