PREPARATION/INSTALLATION NOTES:
------------------------------
(from the file "!Training.Notes.Instructor_Notes")

1. PREPARING FOR A TRAINING COURSE

When preparing to deliver a training course, please check with the Response
Center to ensure that the training software on the training machine is the
latest release for the course to be delivered.  If required, a tape containing
the latest release is available from the Response Center.

To determine the release level, check the training software installed on the
training machine.  Training software releases are located in 

   "!Training.Software_Release.<COURSE NAMEs>.<COURSE VERSIONs>"

For example, "!Training.Software_Release.Fundamentals.Delta_Rev6" supports the
Fundamentals training for Delta and is the sixth version of the Fundamentals
course.
                                  

2. INSTALLING THE LATEST TRAINING SOFTWARE RELEASE (if required)
  
   2.1 Install the current release tape using the following command
       (from any context):

         Archive.Restore (Options => "CHANGED_OBJECTS, PROMOTE");
    
   2.2 if any errors are reported, please call the Response Center for
       assistance.

   2.3 If step 2 is successful, you may want to delete any older versions of
       the training software in "!Training.Software_Releases.<COURSE NAMEs>".
          

3. CREATING TRAINING USERS

Please follow the instructions in the "Course_Preparation_Notes" file for the
applicable course(s).

It is a good idea to have the training account user(s) create an empty text 
file such as "!Users.<TRAINING USER NAME>.In_Use_By_<USER INFORMATION>_<DATE>"
to indicate that the account is in use.  In addition to preventing others from 
accidently using the same account, it also provides information useful to the 
trainer and the system manager.
                                

4. USING THE SCRIPT TOOLS

When required the script tools are set up to be automatically involked by a
training user.  There is currently a bug in the environment which causes the
created script window to remain "invisible".  Users must visit their window
directory in order to locate this window.  When the window is visible, users
should perform a "[Window] - [Format]" operation to obtain the correct window
size then issue a "[Window] - [Promote]" to lock the window once it is visible.

The tools also prevent users from creating more than one script tool job.
The tools do this by creating a file, named by user and session, in the
directory "!Training.Tools.Live_Job_Files".  Upon execution, the script tools
check for the existence of this file and will not run if the file exists --
i.e. the file is used as a lockout mechanism.  If the user cancels the job
(e.g. with a Job.kill) or otherwise terminates abnormally (e.g. system
crash), this file will still exist even though no script job is running.
   
If a file exists for the user/session in "!Training.Tools.Live_Jobs_Files" when
the script tool is started, it will prevent itself from operating and,
therefore, effectively be locked out.  The way to fix this situation is to
execute the procedure "!Training.Tools.Reset_Scripts" from the user's session.
Do not execute this procedure unless the user's session is locked out.

Not all courses use the script tools.
