Installing Your Product Using Pax ESD or DVD › Acquire the Product Pax Files

Acquire the Product Pax Files

To begin the CA Technologies product installation procedure, copy the product pax file into the USS directory that you set up.

Important! Downloading pax files for the SMP/E installation as part of the Pax ESD process requires write authority to the UNIX System Services (USS) directories that are used for the Pax ESD process. Also, you must have available USS file space before you start the procedures in this guide.

Use one of the following methods:

• Download the product pax file from http://ca.com/support to your PC, and then upload it to your USS file system.

  If you download a zip file, you must unzip it before uploading to your USS file system.

• Download the pax files from http://ca.com/support directly to your USS file system.
• Download the pax file from the product DVD to your PC, and then upload the pax files to your USS file system.

This section includes the following information:

• A sample batch job to download a product pax file from the CA Support Online FTP server directly to a USS directory on your z/OS system
• Sample commands to upload a pax file from your PC to a USS directory on your z/OS system

Important! The FTP procedures vary due to local firewall and other security settings. Consult your local network administrators to determine the appropriate FTP procedure to use at your site.

Ensure that sufficient free space is available in the USS file system that you are using to hold the product pax file. If you do not have sufficient free space, error messages similar to the following appear:

EZA1490I Error writing to data set
EZA2606W File I/O error 133

When the download finishes, the pax file size in your USS directory matches the value in the Size column for the corresponding pax file on the CA Technologies Products Download window.
