| Some UNIX and Linux systems do not accept file and
path names over 8 characters in length. If this is the case
with your system then use these instructions for copying the files
off the CD ROM into the top-level PBS directory.
The following section contains information
about the SCO UNIX® OpenServer™ and Linux installations of the
PBS Version 11.3.2 update for year-end Payroll processing.
Version
11.3 year-end pre-installation
If you are
unfamiliar with mounting a CD or general Linux/UNIX commands, we
recommend that you obtain help from a qualified UNIX or Linux System
Administrator for installing the update.
Customization
Some programs
for Version 11.3 year-end have been re-compiled. This means that a
customization and possibly a third-party application that you have
may no longer operate with Version 11.3 year-end applied. Before you
install this update, if needed, have your customization recompiled
and ready.
Installation
Structure
The
application of the 11.3 year-end is similar to the process of
downloading and applying fixes from the PSI web site.
On the PBS
11.4 CD ROM there are 4 tar files, one for each module and one tar
file with all the changes. These files are located in the /svcpacks/11.3yeunix
directory. If your system does not allow the display of more than 8
characters, then the directory will display as
/svcpacks/1116b3~1.3ye.
The name and a
description for each file follow:
|
Tar
file Name
|
8
character file name
|
Description
|
|
113ye.all.tar
|
113yea~1.tar
|

|
|
113ye
.ap.tar
|
113yea~2.tar
|
Contains
year end changes for A/P only
|
|
113ye.oe.tar
|
113yeo~1.tar
|
Contains
changes for O/E only – If you downloaded the web site update
you already have this.
|
|
113ye.pr.tar
|
113yep~1.tar
|
Contains
year end changes for PR only
|
|
113ye.sy.tar
|
113yes~1.tar
|
Contains
changes for SY only – If you downloaded the web site update
you already have this.
|
Only the A/P and PR 11.3 updates contain
changes specific to year-end. The
O/E and SY contain fixes that match what has been available from the
PSI web site.
Version 11.3 Year-end Installation
- Verify
that everyone is out of PBS Version 11.3 before you begin this
process.
- Verify
that you have a restorable backup of PBS Version 11.3.
- Untar
the appropriate files into the top-level PBS directory.
- If
you have Payroll and untarred the 113ye.pr.tar file (or
113ye.all.tar file), you must run the prcnv113a script to
initialize the Employee Federal Auxiliary file. From the
top-level PBS directory type:
prcnv113a
It
will not display anything, but it will create a PRCNV113xx.LOG file
matching the date and time you ran the script. You may view the
results in this file.
It will initialize the Federal Auxiliary file for all
companies.
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
The patches on the web site may be earlier than what you just
installed off the 11.4 CD ROM. Check the version numbers before you
download and apply any patches. In order for the download to be
relevant, the version numbers would need to be greater by
module than the following:
A/P
113.02
O/E
113.01
PR
113.02
SY
113.03
- If
needed, re-install custom programs. Contact your PBS
customization and third-party application provider for
instructions.
Documentation
Changes
Refer to the PBS
Version 11.4 Payroll
User manual Year-end chapter for descriptions of the new features and functions
that apply to year-end 2006. No other features have changed for
Version 11.3 year-end, so for all other documentation, refer to the
user manuals on the Version 11.3 CD ROM.
