Installing Your Product from Pax-Enhanced ESD › Copy the Product Pax Files into Your USS Directory

Copy the Product Pax Files into Your USS Directory

To begin the CA Technologies product installation procedure, copy the product's pax file into the USS directory you set up. Use one of the following methods:

• Download the product pax files directly from the CA Support Online FTP server to your z/OS system.
• Download the product pax file from the CA Support Online FTP server to your PC, and upload it to your z/OS system.
• Download the product file from CA Support Online to your PC. If your download included a zip file, unzip the file, and upload the unzipped pax files to your z/OS system.

This section includes 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 and 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 you are using for Pax-Enhanced ESD 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.
