COMPUTER BASICS
COMPUTER BASICS
Computer is derived from the word compute, in other words, to calculate. There are three basic types of computers distinguished by their physical size and capacity: Microcomputer Minicomputer Mainframe
Hardware
Hardware is the physical components of the computer or the things you can touch. Hardware components include: - Keyboard - input device for the user to communicate with the computer - Monitor - output device for the computer to communicate with the user - Printer - output device used to produce hard copies of data - System Unit - AS/400 - Keyboard, Monitor, and Printers, are considered Peripheral devices.
Software
Software is the programs or instructions which enable the computer to do various functions. Software includes: - Operating System (OS/400) - programs which control the interaction between the hardware and software - Application Software - programs which are used to manipulate user information (i.e. DEALERLINE XL)

COMPUTER BASICS
Storage/Memory
There are three types of storage: Temporary Storage (CPU main memory) Permanent Storage (DASD or hard drive) DASD is defined as Direct Access Storage Device - DASD is a disk unit (hard drive). A hard disk (hard drive) is present in a PC (personal computer). External Storage (diskette, tape, or optical drive) Optical drive is also called a CD ROM.
The metric system is used to quantify storage. A bit is a binary digit in the binary numbering system. A byte consists of 8 bits which is equivalent to one character. 8 bits = 1 byte = 1 character K (Kilo) = 1,000 M (Mega) = 1,000,000 G (Giga) = 1,000,000,000 Examples: 128KB = 128,000 bytes = 128,000 characters 8MB = 8,000,000 bytes = 8,000,000 characters
Terms
Upgrade/Software - Load newly enhanced software. Upgrade/Hardware - Additional drives - memory upgrade - new AS/400 system . ATF - Acronym for Application Temporary Fix. Identifies new application software distributed by EDS.

COMPUTER BASICS
PTF - Acronym for Program Temporary Fix. A temporary solution to, or bypass of, a problem in an IBM licensed program. Operating System (OS/400) - The Operating System (OS/400) is a group of IBM licensed programs which allows you to interface with the AS/400 through menus or commands to control and allow for system activity. Initial Program Load (IPL) Initial Program Load is the process that loads the Operating System (OS/400) into main storage from auxiliary storage, checks the internal system hardware, and prepares the system for user operation. Auxiliary storage is all addressable storage (DASD) other than main storage. Host Site / Remote Site Host Site Physical location of the AS/400 this is the main location. Remote Site Another store that is connected to the Host Site (using the same AS/400) using NT routers, modems, and or remote controllers which use data circuits (telephone lines) to connect to the Host site. Release (Updates) - Identifies the version of software to be loaded on your system. Most of EDS releases can now be loaded using an EOD process. When a release is EOD, the release is electronically downloaded to the customer. It takes several days for the EDS Automotive Retail Group (ARG) to download a release to all facilities. A dedicated system is NOT required on the customer's AS/400 during the process of electronically downloading software (release). After the download is complete to the customer, the release displays on the EOD screen; the customer can select the release to run when selecting the DEALERLINE nightly backup to run. The release will then process with the DEALERLINE nightly backup. If the release fails, the system will automatically back out of the release and the system will be up and running the next morning. An error message that states the release failed prints at the system printer. If the release is too large to EOD, then the release is sent to customers on an EOD tape. After receiving the EOD tape, customers can load the tape anytime during the day; a dedicated system is NOT required. After the EOD tape is loaded, the release will display on the EOD screen, the same as if the release was electronically downloaded (EOD). To load an EOD tape, the tape in inserted into the tape drive and LODRUN TC is typed at a command line (see chapter 4 for more detailed information). It takes about 10 to 20 minutes for the EOD tape to be loaded on the customers AS/400. Again, after the release is loaded on the customer's system, it displays on the EOD screen.

A TCP/IP printer needs an I/P address (Internet Protocol) an example of an I/P address is 10.129.82.110 TCP/IP Printers are considered a NETWORK printer. (This Stand Alone printer would use CAT5 cable and be connected through a hub.) Usually a TCP/IP printer is a Laser printer, the exception would be a printer attached to an external LAN adapter card such as a Mark Net Pro card. Laser printers will have a menu option on the control panel that allows an I/P address to be configured and will also have an I/O card installed. TCP/IP Stand Alone printer CABLE will ALWAYS be CAT5 to a hub.

TYPES OF BACKUPS
TYPES OF BACKUPS
There are two types of backups a DEALERLINE Nightly Backup and a System Save.
System Save
A System Save saves all files and data, except spool files. All libraries, as well as your dealership's customization, is saved.
MEDIA
The type of media used depends on the AS/400 system at the retail facility. Most use tape cartridges for the nightly backup and system save. All AS/400 systems have TAPE DRIVES.
Ivory (Tan) Boxes C-F Models have a diskette drive (no CD drive). Black Box 200 Series very rarely will have a diskette drive (no CD drive). Black Box 300 Series do not have a diskette drive (no CD drive). Black Box 400 and 500 Series do not have a diskette drive; they have a CD ROM drive. The Device ID is OPT01 for the CD ROM drive. Black Box 170, 600, and 700 Series do not have a diskette drive; they have a CD ROM drive. The Device ID is OPT01 for the CD ROM drive.
Diskettes
5 1/4" Used in C - F Models and 200 Series. High Density, High Capacity Media 1.2 MB Capacity 1024 Byte Format (this is the directory to the diskette)
Or 8" Used in C - F Models Double-Sided, Double Density Media 1.0 MB Capacity 1024 Byte Format (this is the directory to the diskette) To insert the diskette into the computer, hold the diskette parallel to the ground. Gently push the diskette all the way into the diskette drive (label up), then close the drive door.

Troubleshooting
A common error when initializing a tape is specifying *NONE for Volume identifier; *NONE is not a valid Volume identifier. Verify something is entered at the volume identifier field--it cannot be blank---the system has to know what type of tape is being initialized, again if this tape is going to be used for a backup, system save, etc. Also verify the CORRECT Tape Density is specified--often, these two fields are filled out incorrectly--
If the following message displays: The TC device may have failed. 1. At a command line type

Create a report storage file on the AS/400. Create a report storage file named
MEREPORTS. This file is created on your system one time only. This report storage file will contain all reports you want to save during the month. After the file is copied to tape, the contents of the file on your system is cleared and used again to store the current month's reports.
Place Your Reports on Hold and Retrieve Spool File Information. Select the appropriate menu option and submit a report for processing. When processing is complete, locate your spool file report in the spool file and place it on Hold. Perform a screen print the following spool file information File name, Job name, User name, and job Number. Copy the Held reports (spool files) into the MEREPORTS storage file. Using
the screen print of the spool file information, copy each report into the MEREPORTS storage file. The steps to copy the first report spool file differ from the steps to copy subsequent report spool files. The steps to copy the first report spool also include clearing the file. Follow the steps in this section carefully.
Copy the MEREPORTS file to an initialized tape cartridge. To complete this step, you will need either a new/blank tape cartridge, or one that can be initialized. After the tape cartridge is initialized, the MEREPORTS storage file can be copied to the tape cartridge. A Data Archive vendor uses this tape cartridge to create the file on CD. View MEREPORTS Storage File. This section includes the steps to view and
verify the reports in the MEREPORTS file, on the tape cartridge

A library acts as a directory to group similar objects. To see a list of the libraries assigned to your user profile on your computer, type DSPLIBL (Display Library List). To display all libraries, type DSPLIB *ALL There are two types of libraries: IBM (system) Libraries These contain operating system software and information required to operate the AS/400. IBM Libraries are prefixed with Q. QSYS QHLPSYS QUSRSYS QGPL System Library - Contains all operating system software and user profiles Help Text Library - Contains help text data used when you press Help key [F1 key is the Help key for a PC keyboard] Security Library - Contains message and output queues General Purpose Library - Contains miscellaneous information and IBM programs
DEALERLINE XL (user) Libraries These are application libraries purchased by a retail facility that allow them to complete each task listed. The following is a list of several DEALERLINE libraries. DBLIBR BLLIBR DCLIBR LELIBR MPLIBR PALIBR PFLIBR PRLIBR RALIBR SALIBR SLLIBR SMLIBR SVLIBR SSLIBR Data Base Library - All data files that make each computer system unique to the dealership or retail facility. This is the library saved during the nightly backup. BUSINESSLINE XL Library GM DCS400 Library Leasing Library GMAC MAPS Payroll Library Temporary Fixes Library - Contains program updates until they are permanently placed in programs with a new release PARTSLINE XL Library RAPID400 Library System Administration Library - Used with programs to complete DEALERLINE XL security and backups SALESLINE XL Library SERVICELINE XL V1 Merchandising Library SERVICLEINE XL V2 Library SERVICELINE XL Scheduling Library
SUBSYSTEMS
A subsystem is an independent environment with its own allocated resources where work is performed. Examples of AS/400 subsystems: DLCOMMSBS EZFORMS PRINTSBS QBATCH where communication polling jobs are processed. area in computer that EZFORMS monitors are processed. where all parts and service print jobs are processed area to process jobs in background and allow the terminal to be used for other functions while the processing occurs

SUBSYSTEMS
where communication jobs are processed location where system console functions where all interactive jobs, except the system console, process area in computer that processes print jobs
SUBSYSTEM
Job Queues
A job queue is a holding area for all jobs, usually batch jobs, prior to processing in a subsystem. Subsystem The area a job is processed in. Which subsystem jobs are processed in depends on the type of job and its own internal requirements and parameters, for example, BUSINESSLINE XL Month-End procedure processes in QBATCH or SERVICELINE XL Daily Cutoff procedure processes in QBATCH. If you were to inquire on a check in BUSINESSLINE, the inquiry would process in QINTER.

OUTPUT QUEUE
WRITER
PRINTER
Spool File A spool file is a print job generated by the computer system within This is a synonym for a print job or listing, e.g., print screen.
Output Queue An output queue is a holding area for spool files prior to being printed on the printer. Print jobs are removed from this area on a FIFO (first-in, first-out) basis. Writer A writer is an IBM program that reads a spool file from an output queue and sends it to a printer. Printer Hardware device that prints the spool file.
Before the job can print, the output queue, writer, and printer must all be started and communicating with each other. To make this task easier, IBM has each area named the same. For instance, printer P1 has its print jobs delivered by writer P1 from output queue P1.

TYPES OF MESSAGES
TYPES OF MESSAGES
There are two general types of messages: personal and system. Personal messages give the users the ability to communicate with each other via the computer. System messages are messages sent by the computer to the user.

MESSAGE QUEUES
MESSAGE QUEUES
A message queue is a holding area for messages. There are three types of Message Queues:
User ID Message Queues Workstation Message Queues System Operator Message Queue (QSYSOPR)
MESSAGE QUEUES
USER ID
WORKSTATION
QSYSOPR
Message queues are named for user ID's, workstation ID's or QSYSOPR (system operator). Delivery Mode The delivery mode specifies how the AS/400 will interface with the message queue regarding messages. There are three basic delivery modes: *BREAK - interrupts current processing *NOTIFY - sets off alarm and message symbol on terminal (commonly used) *HOLD - sent to message queue with no notification
A message being sent, can only be received by the user or workstation the message is sent to, if the user is signed onto the workstation. Even a BREAK message will not break on a Sign On screen; a user MUST be signed onto a workstation.

System Security
System Security
Security controls who is allowed to see and use the information on the system. If a user calls and requests you add some sort of security to his/her profile, or another users profile, you want to make sure youre speaking with the system administrator. If you are not sure youre speaking with an authorized person, the best thing to do would be to walk the individual through the procedure to make the change. If this individual doesnt have authority to make changes to user profiles, he/she will receive an error message. This is your clue that the person youre speaking with is probably not an authorized person. You can very politely explain the system administrator must make changes to a user profile. At no time should you just go ahead and change someones security without being certain the person youre speaking with is the System Administrator!
Physical
There are several types of physical security to consider when installing a computer system. These issues include: System Workstation Printer Forms Keys Backup Tape Storage The CPU should be located in a secured area where only authorized personnel may access it. Where are these located? Are they signed off when not in use? Again, these need to be secured so that not only hardware is safe but also the documents being printed. All sensitive documents need to be secure; you do not want just anyone to walk away with a check or statement. Copies of all keys to the CPU and monitors should be maintained in a locked area. The original key should remain in the keylock. THIS IS CRITICAL. The storage of your backup tapes could mean the difference between being able to restore your data or not. Backup tapes should be stored off-site or in a fireproof safe on-site. System Save tapes should be stored in two different locations. The current system save tape(s) could be stored on-site; the prior system save tapes(s) could be stored off-site. One of the DEALERLINE nightly backup tapes should be kept off-site also. In general, security (physical or software) determines who has access to what.

System Security
Software
There are two types of software defined security: IBM security is defined in the operating system. It determines who can sign on to the AS/400 and what commands they can execute. DEALERLINE XL application defined security identifies what tasks in which areas of which applications a user may work. It can also limit access to each company and to DEALERLINE XL security profiles.

User ID name can only be modified using the Change (CHGUSRPRF) procedure. Type the user password. If *USRPRF value is left here, the system uses your User Profile entry as the password. *YES forces the user to change their password every so many days. The number of days is defined in system values. Leaving the *NO default will allow password changes, but not force them. The status of the user profile should be *Enabled. A Disabled user cannot sign on. If the user receives message: User XXX cannot sign on, check if the status is Disabled. Use one of the IBM user classes defined on page 4, based on user needs. Defines to the system the level of help or assistance needed. Choices are basic, intermediate or advanced. Leaving the *SYSVAL default will use the system defined value. Defines library user will function in. This value should be DBLIBR. Based on where the user is accessing from. There are four choices: For all ID's use SA0030CL, except for SALESLINE XL users - SLMAINCL, and for SERVICELINE XL users SVMAINCL. Library to find initial program. SA0030CL is in SALIBR, SLMAINCL is found in SLLIBR and SVMAINCL is found in SVLIBR. First menu the user will see and the library it is located in. Base this entry on specific user needs. If the user receives message: Job ending immediately. Display job log for more information, it is likely the library attached to the initial menu is wrong. DMM000 is most commonly used for Initial Menu. *YES will restrict user's use of the command line. *NO will not limit them, but their command knowledge may. Free form definition area to describe user, job title, location or whatever text the system administrator requires.

Ask if the caller is the system administrator and walk him/her through the change if he/she says yes they are. B. Just go ahead and make the change, because your job is to take care of the customer no matter what, and our customers would never lie to us. C. Refuse to make the change, because you suspect the caller is lying to you.

Serial Printer
(Stand Alone) Serial Printers receive their printer address and information from a serial card or I/O card, this card allows the printer to communicate with the AS/400. The cable connection for a serial printer will either be a twinax cable or twisted pair cable. The twinax cable has about a inch wide round silver connector and is either connected to a pigtail, T-connector or may be connected directly into a twinax connector on the printer. The twisted pair cable will be connected to a balun which is a 6 inch cable that on one side has a twinax connector on it, and the other side has a RJ45 end on it.
TCP/IP Printers
A TCP/IP printer needs an I/P address (Internet Protocol) an example of an I/P address is 10.129.82.110 TCP/IP Printers are considered a NETWORK printer. (This Stand Alone printer would use CAT5 cable and be connector thru a hub.) Usually a TCP/IP printer is a Laser printer, the exception would be a printer attached to an external LAN adapter card such as a Mark Net Pro card. Laser printers will have a menu option on the control panel that allows an I/P address to be configured and will also have an I/O card installed. TCP/IP Stand Alone printer CABLE will ALWAYS be CAT5 to a hub.
