Precisely delivers VeriMove software for the Linux platform as an internet download.

To install VeriMove on Linux from internet download, follow these steps.

  1. You will receive an email notification that contains a link to download the VeriMove software for your supported platform(s).
  2. Click on the link to access the installation file.
  3. Download the appropriate installation file to Windows.
  4. Extract the files.
  5. Use an FTP type of program to binary transfer the 'install', 'nlkxyz.taz', and 'vmrls' files from your Windows machine to your desired platform.
  6. Run the install script:

    ./install

  7. Follow the instructions provided in the installation script. The installation script is a conversational package that will query both you and your system for information.

    If you are upgrading to a new release, VeriMove may require that the JobStats.dat file be in a new format prior to VeriMove processing. If the new release needs to upgrade the Jobstats file, the install process converts the JobStats.dat file into the new format for you and displays messages similar to the following:

    Converting old statistics file to new format.
statconv - VeriMove Statistics File Conversion Utility

100% complete.
Statistics conversion completed successfully.
VeriMove install complete.

    If this is a new install or you are installing into a new VeriMove directory, no conversion message displays and the product is now ready to use after the configuration file has been verified to meet your needs as described in the next step.

  8. Edit your configuration file.
    Note: The configuration file includes preset values tested for optimum performance across platforms. Changing the preset values may adversely affect your system performance. Precisely recommends you consult with a Technical Support Representative or Professional Services Representative before changing any preset default values.
    1. If you are a new VeriMove user, the installation program installs the config.ini configuration file as part of the normal installation process.
      • Enter the appropriate information in the following fields in the config.ini configuration file.
      • For the remaining fields in the config.ini configuration file, Precisely recommends you use the default values.

        For detail information on all confg.ini configuration file fields, please see Configuring Your VeriMove Installation.

      Table 1. Configuration File Field Descriptions
      Field Description
      Registered Company PAF registered company name.
      Registered User PAF registered username.
      NCOALink Key NCOALink key assigned to you by Precisely.
      SerialNumber Serial number assigned to you by Precisely.
      NCOALink Platform ID Four-character platform ID assigned by the USPS.
      Licensee Licensee (Company) name associated with the Platform ID defined above. Appears on reports sent to the USPS.
      NCOALink License Type Type of NCOALink license:

      Limited Service Provider
      2
      End User
      NCOA Use High Memory Specify whether to use high memory using these codes:
      0
      Turns off the large memory model. This is referred to as the small memory model. Use this option when only a small amount of limited real memory is available to you. The default value is 0.
      1
      Turns on the large memory model. A large number of data files are loaded into memory to improve performance. Use this option only if you have enough free real memory available (see note below).

      This setting may affect the performance of your system. Setting this to 1, causes a number of database tables to be loaded into memory. The set up of the database takes more time at the beginning of a run but may improve performance if your platform has lots of physical memory.

      When VeriMove is set to "Large Memory Model" (NCOA Use High Memory=1), DPV, LACSLink and SuiteLink are configured to the "L" (Large) memory model. When VeriMove is set to "Small Memory Model" (NCOA Use High Memory=0), DPV, LACSLink and SuiteLink are configured to the "U" (Ultra) memory model.

      Note: When using the large memory model and internal CASS processing, VeriMove uses approximately 1.7 GB of memory. When using the large memory model and external CASS processing, VeriMove uses approximately 1 GB of memory.

      For HP-UX Unix, if you are running on an Itanium based machine, the large memory model will not work for NCOALink processing. Set this option to 0.

      It is recommended that you sort your list(s) in ZIP Code order to achieve optimum performance.
      SmallMemEnh This feature enhances the small memory model only. To turn on the small memory model, specify configuration variable NCOA Use High Memory = 0. To turn on the small memory model enhancement, you must also specify SmallMemEnh=1. The small memory model enhancement may provide a performance gain when running in small memory model if your list is sorted in ZIP Code order. If your list is sorted in ZIP Code order and there are a large number of records within the same ZIP Code segment (first two digits of the ZIP Code), you can use the small memory model enhancement to have VeriMove load an entire segment into memory and perform memory lookups for each record. This process may improve performance by not performing an I/O lookup on disk for each record.

      Specify whether to use the small memory model enhancement:

      0
      Do not use the small memory model enhancement. The default value is 0.
      1
      Use the small memory model enhancement for a potential performance enhancement.
      Note: To use the small memory model, specify configuration variable NCOA Use High Memory = 0.

      It is recommended that you sort your list(s) in ZIP Code order to achieve optimum performance.
      NCOA Use Flat Single Specify whether to use a single (vs. 26 A-Z) flat file database.
      0
      Use the 26 flat file A-Z database.
      1
      Use the single flat file database.
      NCOA Use Flat Hash Specify whether to use the 26 hash files that are used to do a quick test to see if the full data needs to be looked up. The hash files are not strictly necessary for the operation of the flat file database, since a single lookup is done to get all information. Most tests, however, show that using the flat hash files improves performance.
      0
      Do not use the flat hash files.
      1
      Use the flat hash files (default value).
      ReportPath Path name for generated report files.
      CASSSerialNumber Precisely provided CASS serial number if using VeriMove Internal CASS processing.
      DPVKey To perform DPV processing using the VeriMove Internal CASS processor, enter your Precisely provided DPV product software key.
      LACSKey To perform LACSLink processing using the VeriMove internal CASS processor, enter your Precisely provided LACSLink product software key.
    2. If you are an existing VeriMove user, the installation program installs the config.ini.distribute configuration file into the installation directory leaving your original config.ini configuration file intact.

      To ensure optimum system performance, compare the config.ini.distribute file configuration options to your current configuration file to verify if any new options have been made available. You can also edit the config.ini.distribute file with your current settings and then replace your current configuration file to have the latest default configuration options.

      For detail information on all confg.ini configuration file fields, please see Configuring Your VeriMove Installation.
