COMPUTER BASICS
COMPUTER BASICS
Computer is derived from the word compute, in other words, to calculate.
There are three basic types of computers distinguished by their physical size and capacity:
Microcomputer
Minicomputer
Mainframe
Hardware
Hardware is the physical components of the computer or the things you can touch. Hardware components
include:
- Keyboard - input device for the user to communicate with the computer
- Monitor - output device for the computer to communicate with the user
- Printer - output device used to produce hard copies of data
- System Unit - AS/400
- Keyboard, Monitor, and Printers, are considered Peripheral devices.
Software
Software is the programs or instructions which enable the computer to do various functions. Software
includes:
- Operating System (OS/400) - programs which control the interaction between the hardware and software
- Application Software - programs which are used to manipulate user information (i.e. DEALERLINE XL)

Storage/Memory
There are three types of storage:
-
Terms
Upgrade/Software - Load newly enhanced software.
Upgrade/Hardware - Additional drives - memory upgrade - new AS/400 system .
ATF - Acronym for Application Temporary Fix. Identifies new application software distributed by EDS.

COMPUTER BASICS
PTF - Acronym for Program Temporary Fix. A temporary solution to, or bypass of, a problem in an IBM
licensed program.
Operating System (OS/400) - The Operating System (OS/400) is a group of IBM licensed programs which
allows you to interface with the AS/400 through menus or commands to control and allow for system activity.
Initial Program Load (IPL) Initial Program Load is the process that loads the Operating System (OS/400)
into main storage from auxiliary storage, checks the internal system hardware, and prepares the system for
user operation. Auxiliary storage is all addressable storage (DASD) other than main storage.
Host Site / Remote Site
Host Site Physical location of the AS/400 this is the main location.
Remote Site Another store that is connected to the Host Site (using the same AS/400) using NT routers,
modems, and or remote controllers which use data circuits (telephone lines) to connect to the Host site.
Release (Updates) - Identifies the version of software to be loaded on your system. Most of EDS releases can
now be loaded using an EOD process.
When a release is EOD, the release is electronically downloaded to the customer. It takes several days for the
EDS Automotive Retail Group (ARG) to download a release to all facilities. A dedicated system is NOT
required on the customer's AS/400 during the process of electronically downloading software (release). After
the download is complete to the customer, the release displays on the EOD screen; the customer can select the
release to run when selecting the DEALERLINE nightly backup to run. The release will then process with the
DEALERLINE nightly backup. If the release fails, the system will automatically back out of the release and
the system will be up and running the next morning. An error message that states the release failed prints at
the system printer.
If the release is too large to EOD, then the release is sent to customers on an EOD tape. After receiving the
EOD tape, customers can load the tape anytime during the day; a dedicated system is NOT required. After the
EOD tape is loaded, the release will display on the EOD screen, the same as if the release was electronically
downloaded (EOD).
To load an EOD tape, the tape in inserted into the tape drive and LODRUN TC is typed at a command
line (see chapter 4 for more detailed information). It takes about 10 to 20 minutes for the EOD tape to be
loaded on the customers AS/400. Again, after the release is loaded on the customer's system, it displays on
the EOD screen.

Parallel Attached Printer Parallel attached printers receive all of their information from the terminal
or PC they are physically connected to the printer address must be set up in the terminal or PC the
printer is physically connected to. The printer is connected to the terminal or PC by a bi-directional
parallel cable which is usually black, gray or beige in color and is approx. 6 ft to 25 ft in length.
(Parallel cable for a Laser printer can have a maximum length of 10 ft. ONLY). The connectors on the
parallel cable are about 2 inches wide and are rectangular in shape. The back of the terminal or PC has
a printer port and this is where the parallel cable is connected to from the printer. An easy way to find out
if the printer is parallel is to leave the printer powered on, and then signoff of the workstation that you
believe the printer is parallel to and then power off the workstation, then power the workstation back on,
the printer should initialize/response as if it was just powered on.
2.
Serial Printer (Stand Alone) Serial Printers receive their printer address and information from a serial
card or I/O card, this card allows the printer to communicate with the AS/400. The cable connection for a
serial printer will either be a twinax cable or twisted pair cable. The twinax cable has about a -inch
wide round silver connector and is either connected to a pigtail, T-connector or may be connected directly
into a twinax connector on the printer. The twisted pair cable will be connected to a balun which is a 6
inch cable that on one side has a twinax connector on it, and the other side has a RJ45 end on it.
A TCP/IP printer needs an I/P address (Internet Protocol) an example of an I/P address is 10.129.82.110
TCP/IP Printers are considered a NETWORK printer. (This Stand Alone printer would use CAT5 cable and
be connected through a hub.) Usually a TCP/IP printer is a Laser printer, the exception would be a printer
attached to an external LAN adapter card such as a Mark Net Pro card. Laser printers will have a menu
option on the control panel that allows an I/P address to be configured and will also have an I/O card installed.
TCP/IP Stand Alone printer CABLE will ALWAYS be CAT5 to a hub.

OVERVIEW
DEALERLINE nightly backups and system saves are used for disaster recovery. If there is a fire, a hard
drive fails, or any other disaster, your backups are critical to reload all software on your AS/400.

TYPES OF BACKUPS
TYPES OF BACKUPS
There are two types of backups a DEALERLINE Nightly Backup and a System Save.
System Save
A System Save saves all files and data, except spool files. All libraries, as well as your dealership's
customization, is saved.
MEDIA
The type of media used depends on the AS/400 system at the retail facility. Most use tape cartridges for the
nightly backup and system save.
Ivory (Tan) Boxes C-F Models have a diskette drive (no CD drive).
Black Box 200 Series very rarely will have a diskette drive (no CD drive).
Black Box 300 Series do not have a diskette drive (no CD drive).
Black Box 400 and 500 Series do not have a diskette drive; they have a CD ROM drive. The Device
ID is OPT01 for the CD ROM drive.
Black Box 170, 600, and 700 Series do not have a diskette drive; they have a CD ROM drive. The
Device ID is OPT01 for the CD ROM drive.
Diskettes
5 1/4"
Used in C - F Models and 200 Series.
High Density, High Capacity Media
1.2 MB Capacity
1024 Byte Format (this is the directory to the diskette)
Or
8"
Used in C - F Models
Double-Sided, Double Density Media
1.0 MB Capacity

To insert the diskette into the computer, hold the diskette parallel to the ground. Gently push the
diskette all the way into the diskette drive (label up), then close the drive door.

You can protect data on the tape from being written over (write-protect) by turning
the small black pin on the front of the tape to the Safe position.
Initialize a Diskette
Before using a diskette, it must be initialized, or prepared for use. Most programs and
procedures on the AS/400 will automatically initialize media for you.

Troubleshooting
A common error when initializing a tape is specifying *NONE for Volume identifier; *NONE is not a
valid Volume identifier.
Verify something is entered at the volume identifier field--it cannot be blank---the system has to know
what type of tape is being initialized, again if this tape is going to be used for a backup, system save,
etc. Also verify the CORRECT Tape Density is specified--often, these two fields are filled out
incorrectly--

OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
Software updates are enhancements and fixes to the DEALERLINE software. These are sent
periodically and should be loaded and applied to your system soon after you receive it. You

with color-coded packets explaining the enhancement to each applicable DEALERLINE
application.
The Software Update Instructions in this guide are generic the set of instructions you
receive with each release contain specific instructions, such as checking for a specific
operating system and release dependency (dependency will vary with each software update)
before loading and applying the software. Any Pre-Update (specific items or conditions to
verify before loading the software) and any Post-Update instructions (specific items or
conditions to verify after loading the software) are included with the Software Update
Instructions.
In this guide, replace xxxx with the actual DEALERLINE Base Release and Product Release.

LIBRARIES
LIBRARIES
A library acts as a directory to group similar objects. To see a list of the libraries assigned to your user profile
on your computer, type DSPLIBL (Display Library List). To display all libraries, type DSPLIB *ALL
There are two types of libraries:
IBM (system) Libraries
These contain operating system software and information required to operate the AS/400. IBM Libraries
are prefixed with Q.
QSYS
System Library - Contains all operating system software and user profiles
QHLPSYS
Help Text Library - Contains help text data used when you press Help key [F1 key
is the Help key for a PC keyboard]
QUSRSYS
QGPL
Data Base Library - All data files that make each computer system unique to the
dealership or retail facility. This is the library saved during the nightly backup.
BUSINESSLINE XL Library
GM DCS400 Library
Leasing Library
GMAC MAPS
Payroll Library
Temporary Fixes Library - Contains program updates until they are permanently
placed in programs with a new release
PARTSLINE XL Library
RAPID400 Library
System Administration Library - Used with programs to complete DEALERLINE
XL security and backups
SALESLINE XL Library
SERVICELINE XL V1 Merchandising Library

SUBSYSTEMS
A subsystem is an independent environment with its own allocated resources where work is performed.
Examples of AS/400 subsystems:
DLCOMMSBS
EZFORMS
PRINTSBS
QBATCH

SUBSYSTEM
Job Queues
A job queue is a holding area for all jobs, usually batch jobs, prior to processing in a subsystem.
Subsystem
The area a job is processed in. Which subsystem jobs are processed in depends on the type of job and its own
internal requirements and parameters, for example, BUSINESSLINE XL Month-End procedure processes in
QBATCH or SERVICELINE XL Daily Cutoff procedure processes in QBATCH. If you were to inquire on a
check in BUSINESSLINE, the inquiry would process in QINTER.

OUTPUT
QUEUE
WRITER
PRINTER
Spool File
A spool file is a print job generated by the computer system within
This is a synonym for a print job or listing, e.g., print screen.
Output Queue
An output queue is a holding area for spool files prior to being printed on the printer. Print jobs are removed
from this area on a
FIFO (first-in, first-out) basis.
Writer
A writer is an IBM program that reads a spool file from an output queue and sends it to a printer.
Printer
Hardware device that prints the spool file.
Before the job can print, the output queue, writer, and printer must all be started and communicating with each
other. To make this task easier, IBM has each area named the same. For instance, printer P1 has its print jobs
delivered by writer P1 from output queue P1.

System Security
System Security
Security controls who is allowed to see and use the information on the system. If a user calls and requests you
add some sort of security to his/her profile, or another users profile, you want to make sure youre speaking
with the system administrator. If you are not sure youre speaking with an authorized person, the best thing to
do would be to walk the individual through the procedure to make the change. If this individual doesnt have
authority to make changes to user profiles, he/she will receive an error message. This is your clue that the
person youre speaking with is probably not an authorized person. You can very politely explain the system
administrator must make changes to a user profile. At no time should you just go ahead and change
someones security without being certain the person youre speaking with is the System Administrator!
Physical
There are several types of physical security to consider when installing a computer system. These issues include:
System
The CPU should be located in a secured area where only authorized personnel
may access it.
Workstation
Where are these located? Are they signed off when not in use?
Printer
Again, these need to be secured so that not only hardware is safe but also the
documents being printed.
Forms
All sensitive documents need to be secure; you do not want just anyone to
walk away with a check or statement.
Keys
Copies of all keys to the CPU and monitors should be maintained in a locked
area. The original key should remain in the keylock.
THIS IS CRITICAL. The storage of your backup tapes could mean the
difference between being able to restore your data or not. Backup tapes
should be stored off-site or in a fireproof safe on-site.
System Save tapes should be stored in two different locations. The current
system save tape(s) could be stored on-site; the prior system save tapes(s)
could be stored off-site. One of the DEALERLINE nightly backup tapes
should be kept off-site also.

System Security
Software
There are two types of software defined security:
IBM security is defined in the operating system. It determines who can sign on to the AS/400 and what
commands they can execute.
DEALERLINE XL application defined security identifies what tasks in which areas of which applications a
user may work. It can also limit access to each company and to DEALERLINE XL security profiles.

First screen
User Profile
User Password
Type the user password. If *USRPRF value is left here, the system
uses your User Profile entry as the password.
*YES forces the user to change their password every so many days.
The number of days is defined in system values. Leaving the *NO
default will allow password changes, but not force them.
Status
User Class
Use one of the IBM user classes defined on page 4, based on user
needs.
Assistance Level
Current Library
Defines library user will function in. This value should be DBLIBR.
Based on where the user is accessing from. There are four choices:
For all ID's use SA0030CL, except for SALESLINE XL users SLMAINCL, and for SERVICELINE XL users SVMAINCL.
Library
Initial Menu/Library
First menu the user will see and the library it is located in. Base this
entry on specific user needs. If user receives message: Job ending
immediately. Display job log for more information, it is very likely the
library attached to the initial menu is wrong. DMM000 is most
commonly used for Initial Menu.

Serial Printer
(Stand Alone) Serial Printers receive their printer address and information from a serial card or I/O card,
this card allows the printer to communicate with the AS/400. The cable connection for a serial printer will
either be a twinax cable or twisted pair cable. The twinax cable has about a inch wide round silver
connector and is either connected to a pigtail, T-connector or may be connected directly into a twinax
connector on the printer. The twisted pair cable will be connected to a balun which is a 6 inch cable that on
one side has a twinax connector on it, and the other side has a RJ45 end on it.
TCP/IP Printers
A TCP/IP printer needs an I/P address (Internet Protocol) an example of an I/P address is 10.129.82.110
TCP/IP Printers are considered a NETWORK printer. (This Stand Alone printer would use CAT5 cable
and be connector thru a hub.) Usually a TCP/IP printer is a Laser printer, the exception would be a printer
attached to an external LAN adapter card such as a Mark Net Pro card. Laser printers will have a menu
option on the control panel that allows an I/P address to be configured and will also have an I/O card
installed. TCP/IP Stand Alone printer CABLE will ALWAYS be CAT5 to a hub.
