Procedure: How to Verify FOCUS Installation

To verify that you have successfully installed, use the configuration that is created by the base installation. You can verify the installation by bringing up FOCUS, running a test procedure and exiting from FOCUS.

  1. Log on to your UNIX or Linux operating system using the iadmin ID.
  2. Start the FOCUS session with the appropriate path to the focus script.

    For example:

    /home/iadmin/ibi/srv77/foc/bin/focus

    You should now see the FOCUS command prompt >>.

  3. Create the FOCUS sample files, using the following command.
    EX SAMPLTUT TUTORIAL=LEGACY,CMAPP=ibisamp
  4. Execute the following test procedure at the FOCUS command prompt.
    TABLE FILE CAR
    PRINT COUNTRY CAR MODEL
    END

    You should now see the output from the report request in Hotscreen.
