Installing from Pax Files Using the SAMPJCL Method › Create a Product Directory from the Pax File

Create a Product Directory from the Pax File

Use the sample job attached to the PDF file as Unpackage.txt to extract the product pax file into a product installation directory. Since CA Common Services software components are packaged using four pax files, it may be easier to perform this procedure for all the pax files you require now versus coming back to this procedure later. You should create a separate directory for each pax file.

Important! To simplify the Pax-Enhanced ESD process, the PDF version of this guide includes a sample JCL job that you can copy directly to the mainframe. To access this job, click the paper clip icon in the lower left corner of the PDF reader. This opens a window displaying attachments. Double-click the file to view the sample JCL.

To create a product installation directory using the Unpackage.txt sample job

1. Supply a valid JOB statement.
2. Replace yourUSSESDdirectory with the name of the USS directory that you used for ESD downloads.

   The job points to your specific directory.

3. Replace paxfile.pax.Z with the name of the pax file.

   The job points to your specific pax file.

4. Submit the job.

   The job runs and creates the product directory.

Note: After making the changes noted in the job, if the PARM= statement exceeds 71 characters, uncomment and use the second form of UNPAXDIR instead. This sample job uses an X in column 72 to continue the PARM= parameters to a second line.
