Not Telling
Hi
I am new to this Hercules world. I am trying to install Hercules latest version in my Windows 7 machine. So far I have little success. I need help from the experts of this forum.
May be there are many links where such discussion has happened earlier. If someone can guide me to that link, it will also be helpful.
I am depicting what I have done so far.
1. Installed WinPcap
2. Installed Telnet client
3. Installed Hercules
4. Installed TN3270 terminal application
5. Opened Hercules in command prompt
6. Started Hercules with installed .cnf file
7. Opened TN3270 and successfully connected to Hercules. But there was no DASD/Tape device type available.
So I followed few internet blogs and tried below.
8. Created a seperate DASD folder in a seperate drive location of my computer
9. ran dasdinit to create DASD image files for 3330 and 3350 in that new location
9. Copied existing hercules.cnf file to hat new location and made below changes
ARCMODE S/370
# .-----------------------Device number
# | .-----------------Device type
# | | .---------File name and parameters
# | | |
# V V V
# ---- ---- --------------------
0009 1052
000C 3505 D:/Mainframe/DASD/initdasd.txt eof
0130 3330 D:/Mainframe/DASD/im0130.3330
0250 3350 D:/Mainframe/DASD/im0250.3350
where the initdasd.txt file contains IBCDASDI statements for 3330 and 3350
10. Now started Hercules as: hercules -f <new cnf file>
11. Opened Telnet to localhost and port 3270
12. Now tried to ipl 00C to format DASD volume. But here the IPL failed.
Do not know what to do next, please suggest.
Thanking You
Santanu
