Compatibility between client and server

The ability of our customers to upgrade as painlessly as possible to a new MOMI release is important to us.

Our standard release migration recommendation is to upgrade the server first and the client second within a release series (i.e. 3.xx, 4.xx and 5.xx).  When a release series changes, both the client and server must both be upgrade at the same time.

However, for MOMI 5 you may use a MOMI 4.xx Client with a MOMI 5.xx server.    

Special Notes

The PC must be configured with at least 24 bit color for the client to operate fully.  A warning message is displayed at client start up if a lower color depth is detected.  While the client will generally function correctly, certain features are not available such as the a pop up window when the mouse is placed over the connector lines between systems on the SubSystems / Expand / Diagram page.

NEW FEATURES / BUGS FIXED 
(see MOMI HISTORY.RTF for previous versions)

Common new features (requires current client and server)
If you are using Client Access, newly added screens in a MOMI release update are not available to users by default. This action may be changed on the screen Configure:Client Access:Global Settings by checking the option New screens enabled by default. The user that started MOMI, known as the “Default Security User” always has new screens enabled by default.

	Misc. Items:
·	The MOMI alarm Volume / Physical - State up/down now retries under an additional error condition and now waits 3 seconds instead of 1 second prior to the retry.

	Known issues:
·	On the TNS/E system, prior to H06.09.00, in CPU where the OSS Name Server operates, the MOMI CPU collector in that processor consumes progressively more CPU cycles than the other collectors. This has been traced down to obtaining OSS Name Server information via MEASURE.  On TNS/E systems, the CONFMOMI keyword DISABLE-MEAS-OSSNS TRUE should be added to prevent collection of this MEASURE entity.

CLIENT INSTALLATION NOTES

Installation of the PC client via the SETUP does not normally require administrative access. However, this is dependent on the security settings of the PC environment.

Windows XP, by default, has more restrictive settings than most. In this environment, the following is recommended if installation is not by an administrator or power user (in some cases):

A.	install to a subdirectory other than "C:\Program Files" which by default is fairly well locked down. Simply choose another subdirectory such as "C:\BlackWood Systems".

B.	Choose Custom install and uncheck installation of the screen saver. This will prevent access to the \Windows subdirectory.

mini-MOMI

MOMI provides the ability to operate in a reduced functionality or "lite" mode.  This mode is automatic whenever MOMI is started without a password.  To install mini-MOMI, follow the installation instructions but omit a password in the CONFMOMI file.

Mini-MOMI will operate for 1-year from the version date of the NonStop server portion of the program.  The time remaining is displayed on the PC Client configuration screen.

Shops running mini-MOMI are encouraged to check our web site from time-to-time for new versions or updates.

While it is BlackWood's intention to provide mini-MOMI in future versions, BlackWood reserves the right to alter, limit or discontinue mini-MOMI in subsequent releases.

MULTIPLE PLATFORM SERVER SUPPORT

MOMI configuration files support S-Series, NonStop Integrity and NonStop Blades.  On the NonStop system, in the subvolume where MOMI is installed, the following object files are present:

   BWMOMI  - 32-bit TNS/R native (S-Series)
   BWMOMIi - 32-bit TNS/E native (Integrity & Blades)

BWMOMI is 32-bit TNS/R native code for the S-Series.

BWMOMIi is 32-bit TNS/E native code for the Integrity and Blade systems.

The TACL obey files OBYCSQL, used to SQL/MP compile MOMI objects, and OBYMOMI, used to start the MOMI subsystem, automatically select the proper object file to invoke.

FIRST INSTALLATION
UPDATE AN EXISTING INSTALLATION

If you are installing MOMI for the first time, or updating an existing installation of MOMI, this section will walk you through the installation details using a utility called MOMIFTP.EXE.  This utility handles the details transferring MOMI files from the PC to the NonStop via FTP.

1)	If you need MOMI software, download the latest version of MOMI from our web site.

2a) If you downloaded an EXE file:

a. double click on the downloaded file

2b) If you renamed the EXE to a ZIP:

a. expand the ZIP file to an empty subdirectory on your PC

     b. double click on the file Setup.EXE

2c) If you have a MOMI CD:

a. double click on the file Setup.EXE

3)	The EXE files self extract to a temporary location and launch a program which gives you the option display the ReadMe file or perform either a Normal Installation to the PC or a Server Install Only. Select Normal Installation. The setup on an expanded ZIP or CD will go directly to a Welcome screen. Click through the initial and Welcome screen. Please read and accept the license agreement.

4)	Choose the location where the MOMI files on the PC are to be installed.

5)	The next screen selects the Setup Type. Choose "Complete Installation".

6)	Choose the name of the program group for shortcut on the Start menu (typically use the default).

7)	Click Next to begin the installation.  The installation may take some time if all help formats are installed.

8)	Check the box to Install Server Files and click finish.

9)	The program MomiFTP is automatically started and will perform the FTP transfer of files from the PC to the NonStop.

On the 1st Connect to NonStop page, fill in the Host Address (your NonStop IP address), User ID, password and initial Volume/Subvolume where the MOMI files are placed.  The User ID specified owns the files once the transfer takes place.  Press Connect. If the connection was successful, you will see a big green "Connected..." .

Press Next to advance the screen.

On the 2nd Select Vol/SubVol on NonStop screen shows a list of the files present in the selected location. Change the location if desired and press Change.

Press Next to advance the screen.

On the 3rd Select New Install or Update screen press Put Files on NonStop. The status boxes indicate the outcome of the transfer.

Press the Exit button to disconnect and stop the program.

10)	From a TACL terminal emulator, Logon with the User ID and password to operate $MOMI. Volume to the location where the MOMI files were placed.

11)	Edit the file OBYMOMI.  This is a TACL obey file used to start MOMI and provide initial configuration information. Page down to the section "set values below here". This marked portion of the obey file is the place to change initial start up values for MOMI.

Check the process names, CPU $MOMI operates in, priority and home terminal.   The default values are good for most systems.

12)	Edit the file CONFMOMI.  This edit file is used to set various MOMI parameters after start up.  Set the System-description and check the TCP/IP process name and port that MOMI will 'listen' on for PC client connections.

For mini-MOMI users, the above should be about the only item of concern.

For licensed MOMI users, add your MOMI password.  Also, define any history files desired.  MOMI will automatically create the history files in the location specified.

13)	SQL/MP compile MOMI (If you don't have SQL/MP, ignore this step):

From a TACL prompt: OBEY OBYCSQL

14) Create a Super Group helper program (the steps below omit logon to the super.* ID):

Purge BWSSG2

Rename BWSSG1, BWSSG2

Rename BWSSG, BWSSG1

FUP DUP BWMOMI, BWSSG, sourcedate    (BWMOMIi on TNS/E)

FUP GIVE BWSSG, <super.group>        (super.super on TNS/E)

FUP SECURE BWSSG, NGNG, PROGID

15)	Start MOMI:

    From a TACL prompt: OBEY OBYMOMI

    (wait at least 2 minutes before proceeding to the next step)

16)	On your PC, start the PC MOMI client (Start / Programs / BlackWood Systems / MOMI / MOMI).  The MOMI client will detect an initial start on the PC and will prompt for the TCP/IP address of the NonStop and port.  The port is defined in the CONFMOMI file and has a default of 2000.

Note that these instructions may be repeated in other portions of this document or provide optional installation methods.

RUNNING SSMOMI SCREEN SAVER AS A STAND ALONE PROGRAM

Some users have requested the ability to run the ssMOMI screen saver as a stand alone program that does not stop when the screen is clicked or the keyboard is pressed.

To run ssMOMI as a stand alone program:

1)	Copy the MOMI screen saver ssMOMI.scr giving it the name ssMOMI.exe.

2)	Start the program as follows:

ssMOMI.EXE /c AsEXE

3)	A pop-up window displays.  Select the location of your MOMI.INI file.  By default this is located at:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\BlackWood Systems\MOMI

4)	After pressing OK, the screen saver appears.  Press X to close.

5)	Create a Shortcut with the Target as follows:

ssMOMI.EXE AsEXE

(path details to the EXE omitted)

The run-time param /c directs the program to display a pop-up window to configure the location of the MOMI.INI.  AsEXE directs the program to continue executing after keys are pressed (i.e. don’t function as a screen-saver).

MANUAL INSTALLATION OF NONSTOP BASED PROGRAMS

If the MOMIFTP utility cannot be used to transfer files from the PC to the NonStop server, these instructions provide a manual alternative.

1)	FTP (or IXF) files from the \NonStop subdirectory to the NonStop server. The source \NonStop subdirectory is either from the expanded ZIP or the subdirectory where the MOMI client is installed on your PC if you chose the FULL or Custom option.

Note the binary/ASCII requirements.

a)	binary BWMOMI
b)	binary BWMOMIi
c)	binary EMSEXPO
d)	ASCII  FUPEVTCX
e)	ASCII  OBYMOMI
f)	ASCII  CONFMOMI
g)	ASCII  OBYCSQL
h)	ASCII  OBYALTER

2)	Logon to the NonStop server and volume to the location where the files were placed.  Use the TACL obey file OBYALTER to alter the file codes (or manually perform the steps below):

	a) FUP alter BWMOMI  ,code 700
	b) FUP alter BWMOMIi ,code 800
	c) FUP alter EMSEXPO ,code 845

3)	Edit the file OBYMOMI. Check the process name, CPU, priority and home terminal.

4)	Edit the file CONFMOMI.  Check the TCP/IP process and port that MOMI will listen on for PC client connections.

Mini-MOMI users do not need to change other items.

Licensed MOMI users need to add their MOMI password.  Additionally, define any history files and check other settings in the file.  Note that MOMI will automatically create the history files in the location specified.

5)	SQL compile MOMI:

OBEY OBYCSQL

6)	Start MOMI:

OBEY OBYMOMI

FUTURE PLANS (may or may not be in future releases)

   1) Add screen of Pathway information.
   2) Add more history chart-able entities.
   3) Add new functionality as requested by our users
   4) More Tools and References as we think of them
