Section - 4 : Checking Your Installation

You can also download a sample MRLs (master resource libraries) from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). The DMS1 sample resources are designed for the insurance market. You can check your installation by processing the resources in the sample resource library. The sample library includes an example directory which you can use to test against the results you get when you run the following tests.

Testing with the DMS1 Sample Resources

The system includes several batch files which let you process the DMS1 sample resources. There is a specific batch file that lets you select Documaker Server modules (GenTrn, GenData, GenWip, GenPrint and GenArc) in single or multiple step mode for each type of printer, such as PCL, PostScript, Xerox Metacode and AFP.

The batch files execute the Documaker Server modules (GenTrn, GenData, GenPrint, and GenArc) in the appropriate mode for the specified printer type and copies the appropriate INI files and printer overlays into their proper directories (see the Documaker Administration Guide for more information).

Processing the DMS1 Sample Resources

To run the system through a processing cycle, follow these steps:

  1. Download the Sample MRLs from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and place the DMS1.ZIP file (which contains the DMS1 sample resources), into the mstrres\ directory.

  2. Unzip the contents of DMS1.ZIP into the mstrres\ directory. The resulting directory structure should be mstrres\dms1\. The arc, bdflib, data and the other directories fall a level below.

    Note:

    When you unzip the DMS1.ZIP file from the mstrres directory, it will place the DMS1 sample resources in the dms1 directory.

  3. Go to the \dms1 directory. At the operating system prompt, enter this command:

    run.bat

    This command installs the DMS1 sample resources into the \dms1 directory.

Printing the DMS1 Output

To print the PCL output you generated when you ran the system, follow the instructions below.

Note:

See the Documaker Administration Guide for detailed instructions on printing to AFP, Metacode, PCL, or PostScript printers.

Copy the REL121.FNT font file located in \mstrres\fmres\deflib directory to the printer along with the PCLBAT1 file, which is located in the \data directory. You can do this by entering the following command from the \dms1 directory:

copy /b pclbat1.pcl lpt1

Note:

The LPD Print Service and LPR Port Monitor should be enabled when printing to LPT1.

Where pclbat1.pcl is the name of a printstream created when you ran run.bat to install the DMS1 sample resources and lpt1 is the printer.

Note:

Run.bat also creates the pclbat2.pcl and pclbat3.pcl printstream files.

Testing WIP with DMS1

The DMS1 library is set up to place two transactions into WIP. Follow these steps to perform the test:

  1. At an operating system prompt, go to mstrres\dms1directory and enter this command:

    genwpw32

  2. Start the Entry module by entering:

    afemnw32 /mode=wip

  3. Choose the WIP, WIP List option.

  4. Select transaction 2234567 and click OK.

Viewing Archived DMS1 Forms

Optionally, you can archive the bills previously printed by following these steps:

Note:

If you are licensed for Archive Retrieval the following steps apply. If, however, you are not licensed for Archive Retrieval, do not perform these steps.

  1. At an operating system prompt, go to mstrres\dms1directory and enter this command:

    genacw32

  2. Start the Entry system by entering this command:

    afemnw32 /mode=retrieve

  3. Choose the Retrieve, Formset option. The Retrieve Document window appears. Enter Sampco in the Company field and click OK to view the archived bills.
