Interactive Installation

To run an interactive installation:

Extract the Zip file to a temporary directory on your workstation.
Log on to the i5/OS system with a user profile of *SECOFR user class with all special authorities.

This can be done by running the following command:

NETSTAT *CNN

Open a command prompt and change directory to the directory that contains the files you extracted from the ZIP file.
Run the FTP command, specifying the name of your i5/OS system. e.g:

ftp i5_system_name

If requested, enter a valid user profile and password.
Enter the bin command to specify a binary transfer.
Transfer the save file to the i5/OS system by running the following command:

put zcoresavf.savf

When the SAVF is loaded into the i5 QGPL library, return to your 5250 session and run the following command:
