How to Automatically Pick Up
Software Patches

You can easily set your system to automatically pick up software patches, keeping your system up-to-date at all times. To do this, you must make sure that the process is queued in the scheduler, and may also verify that your customer number is set correctly.

1.

Check the scheduler (SEQ)

  1. From the Eagle Browser, type SEQ in the Launch bar and

    press <Enter>. (Legacy users: Type SEQ from the Function
    prompt and press <Enter>.)

  2. Search the list for the TRIT or TRIDMT queue, and then take
    one of the following actions:

  • If TRIT or TRIDMT is listed in the table, and a Y displays

    in the Enabled column, continue to Section 2.

  • If TRIT or TRIDMT is listed in the table, and an N
    displays in the Enable column, continue to Section 3.

  • If TRIT or TRIDMT are not listed in the table, continue to
    Section 4.

 

If there are more than 15 report queues showing on the
screen, use the down arrow key to view the rest. TRIT or
TRIDMT is often near the bottom of the list.

TRIT/TRIDMT with Y in Enabled column

If the flag in the ENABLED column is set to Y for either TRIT or
TRIDMT, your system is set to automatically receive software
patches. Simply verify that your customer number is set up in
MTC.

  1. From the Eagle Browser, type MTC and press <Enter>.

  2. (Legacy users: Type MTC from the Function prompt and

    press <Enter>.)

  3. In the Control Stream Name box, select TRIDMT.

  4. On Line #5, verify that your 6-digit Activant customer number

    displays after the word SIGNON.

    If your customer number does not display, add it by typing
    over the information that displays (for example "eagle") with
    your customer number and press <Change>.

3.

TRIT/TRIDMT with N in Enabled column

If the flag is set to N, you need to set your system to
automatically receive software patches.

  1. Use the down arrow key to highlight the TRIT or TRIDMT

    row.

  2. Click in the Enable field, select Y, and then click Change.

    Legacy users only:

    1. Press <Run> and then press <Tab> to place the cursor

      in the enabled column.

    2. Type Y and then press <Enter>.

    3. Press <End>.

    4. The message “Save Changes (Y/N)?:Y” displays. Type

      Y and press <Enter>.

  1. Verify that your customer number is set up in MTC. From the
    Eagle Browser, type MTC and press <Enter>. (Legacy
    users: Type MTC from the Function prompt and press
    <Enter>.    )

  2. In the Control Stream Name box, select TRIDMT.

  3. On Line #5, verify that your 6-digit Activant customer number

    displays after the word SIGNON.

 

If your customer number does not display, add it by typing
over the information that displays (for example "eagle") with
your customer number and press <Change>.

4.

TRIT/TRIDMT not listed in Enabled column

If TRIT or TRIDMT do not display, you need to add them to
your system.

  1. From Network Access, at the Function prompt, type SETMD
    and press <Enter>.

  2. In the Schedule Type field, type T, and press <Enter>.

  3. In the Xmission Type field, type A, and press <Enter>.

  4. In the Time field, type 11:00.

  5. In the --M field, type A.

  6. In the Type of Phone field, type T

  7. In the Every Day field, type Y, and press <Add>.

  8. From the Eagle Browser, type SEQ in the Launch bar and

    press <Enter>. (Legacy users: Type SEQ from the Function
    prompt and press <Enter>).

  9. Verify that the TRIT or TRIDMT queue now displays in the
    list.
