The Challenge: I do I get my hands on the download software? Do I need to request a CD/DVD to be mailed? Do I always need PS for this?
The Solution: We could not get DVDs/CDs anymore for the Trusted Link for i installs. Everything is done via eDelivery. Thus, the first objective of any upgrade will be to secure the software: From the Main Menu> Administration Menu> eDelivery Menu> Software Download> you will be asked for a user id and password.
Since this is still on version 6.2.0, the following list will be shown. It will only show the software that is applicable for the version it is at.
That means to say that as soon as we upgrade to 6.3.0, a new list will show:
You can only select one item at a time. Use "1" to select. Then a sub menu will be presented. Pick the desired option.
You will be given a choice of the run environment.
We usually pick "I" - Interactive. [Enter] will initiate the download.
You will be brought back to the "Select Version" screen as soon as the download is done and a message "The eDelivery software download has completed successfully".
When you WRKIMGCLG, you should see a list of successfully downloaded software. The name of the image catalog is reflective of its content.
