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.

Please note: due to enhancements and bug fixes the oldest MOMI Client that will operate correctly with this server is 5.37. While clients prior to 5.50 should connect and generally work, they may encounter disconnects or error messages.

Special Notes

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

The CAIL Emulator was provided courtesy of CAIL and is not a component of any purchased MOMI product. The Emulator is no longer provided and will be removed from the MOMI installation package.
 
The IP Workshop Pro TCP/IP Subnet calculator is provided courtesy of Peter Kostov and Peko Software and is not a component of any purchased MOMI product. BlackWood Systems and Peko Software reserves the right to discontinue, limit or alter the availability in future releases. Please see the IP Workshop Pro help within the calculator for additional information and to check out other tools he has available.

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.  

Impacts in this version
The Free version of the CAIL emulator is no longer provided with the MOMI client. If the user has the full-function purchased version installed it will continue to work. If the user has any 6530 Emulator programs on their PC that they want to start from within the MOMI client, the Systems / External screen will allow a button to be created to start their emulator.

MOMI Software short-cuts, as displayed by the Windows Start menu, now use the format of BWS MOMI n.nn. Previously, MOMI software short-cuts were located under BlackWood Systems. This change is for compatibility with Windows 10 which does not handle multiple levels within the Start menu.

	Bug Fixes:
·	When an Expand line is deleted, and a MOMI alarm is defined for Expand Path or Line it may result in an alarm with a blank or junk Path/Line name. While we have not been able to produce this problem two situations where this may have occurred have been corrected. (Ken K.)

·	A condition in the server could occur where the Client would receive the message "Invalid header length-Numin Failed" was discovered in MOMI 6 internal testing and has been corrected.

·	Two situations relating to access of the CNF01DB file could result in an incorrect completion indicator and/or a small memory leak. Both situations were extremely rare and discovered in MOMI 6 testing.

·	Addition ASCII text messages are added for the EMS distributor for errors ZEMS_EVT_BAD_LOG (1017) and ZEMS_EVT_COL_DISCONNECT (1019).

·	History data for the MEASURE entity SYSTEM is now deleted by age (CONFMOMI keyword HSTnnDB-DELETE-TIME). This type of data was still automatically deleted if the history file was full.

CLIENT INSTALLATION NOTES

Installation of the PC client via setup normally requires logon as an administrator. 

If Administrator is not available, some other options that might work:

A.	install to a subdirectory other than C:\Program Files or perhaps to a shared directory.

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, updates or a mini-MOMI password.

While it is our 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, NonStop Blades and Integrity NonStop X.

On the NonStop system, in the subvolume where MOMI is installed, the following object files are present by default:

   BWMOMI		- 32-bit TNS/R native (S-Series)
   BWMOMIi	- 32-bit TNS/E native (Integrity & Blades)
   BWMOMIx	- 32-bit TNS/X native (Intel X64 & Virtual NonStop)

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

If automatic platform selection logic does not function, the error “Illegal program file format” is encountered, simply change the obey files to reference to the correct BWMOMI? object.

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.

Installing MOMI software to the local PC usually requires Administrator access under Windows. Other functions such as copying software to the NonStop or to a shared server location may require other levels of security access.

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 downloaded a ZIP file:

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

     b. double click on the file Launcher.exe

2c) If you have a MOMI DVD / Flash Drive:

a. double click on the file Launcher.exe

3)	Once the installation process starts your given the options to a) Install the MOMI Client, b) Install the MOMI Server files on NonStop Server, c) Copy MOMI client files to common server location, or d) View ReadMe file for MOMI. Select Install MOMI Client. Click though the initial and Welcome screen. Please read and accept the license agreement.

4)	The next screen is Choose the Destination Folder, or location, where the MOMI files on the PC are to be installed (default recommended). By default, each version of MOMI installs into its own version specific subdirectory.

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 (default recommended). By default, each version of MOMI creates its own version specific shortcuts.

7)	Click Next to begin the installation. The installation will take some.

8)	Click finish.

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

On the 1st Connect to NonStop page, select the transport type, 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 startup values for MOMI.

Check the process name, 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 attributes using keywords. Set the System-description and check the TCP/IP process name and port that MOMI will 'listen' on for PC client connections.

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

MOMI users, add your MOMI password. Also, define any history files desired. MOMI automatically creates 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 or BWMOMIx)

FUP GIVE BWSSG, <super.group>					 

FUP SECURE BWSSG, NGNG, PROGID

An existing BWSSG must be updated any time BWMOMI is updated.
(The FUP DUP option of SOURCEDATE or SAVEALL must be used)

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/ALL Programs/BlackWood Systems/MOMI_n.nn/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 2010.

Note that these instructions may reoccur 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 standalone program that does not stop when the screen is clicked or the keyboard is pressed.

To run ssMOMI as a standalone 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 describe how an alternate file transfer program would be used. The MOMIFTP utility does not perform any 'special' actions, but simply renames files (if existing are present) and transfers MOMI files from the PC to the NonStop System using FTP or SFTP.
 
The first step is to locate the source files. If MOMI is installed on the PC the files are located by default at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\BlackWood Systems\MOMI_n.nn\Tandem Install\NonStop\
 			
(where n.nn is the release package number)

If you have the MOMI download ZIP from our website expand the files to an empty subdirectory and look for the subdirectory \NonStop Install. The MOMI DVD files are located in the same subdirectory name.

Note that under the subdirectory \NonStop there are two additional directories \Ascii and \Binary. This grouping indicates the file transfer mode (i.e. ASCII or Binary).

The second step, using a file transfer utility, copy files from the PC to the NonStop (all to the same destination subvolume) -

Binary

 				BWMOMI
 				BWMOMIi
BWMOMIx
 				EMSEXPO

ASCII

  			FUPEVTCX
OBYMOMI
CONFMOMI
OBYCSQL
OBYALTER

The third step is to logon to the NonStop System, volume to the location where the files were placed and OBEY 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 BWMOMIx	,code 500
d) FUP alter EMSEXPO	,code 845

At this point the files are transferred. Continue the instructions in the section First Installation / Update an existing installation after the step using MOMIFTP.

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

		1) Two factored authentications (internal support)
2) Disk History (on Integrity and later systems)
		3) CMON   
		4) More history chart-able entities
		5) New functionality as requested by our users
		6) Additional Tools and References as we think of them
		7) Pathway information
