Step 4: Copy and Extract the TAR File

Perform the following steps to populate the CA IDMS Server HFS:

  1. In Windows, use FTP to copy file "hfs.tar" which was downloaded in Step 1 to the CA IDMS Server HFS directory, as defined in Step 2. Ensure that you specify BINARY mode on this transfer.
  2. In OMVS, extract the CA IDMS Server subdirectories and files by positioning yourself in the CA IDMS Server directory, and using the following command: 
    pax -rvf hfs.tar

Note: The hfs.tar file is not used after this step and can be deleted from the HFS to save space.
