Installing Your Product from Pax-Enhanced ESD › Copy the Product Pax Files into Your USS Directory › Download Using Batch JCL

Download Using Batch JCL

Use this process to download a pax file from the CA Support Product Downloads window by running batch JCL on the mainframe. Use the sample JCL attached to the PDF file as CAtoMainframe.txt to perform the download.

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.

Note: We recommend that you follow the preferred method as described on CA Support Online. This procedure is our preferred download method; however, we do include the procedure to download to the mainframe through a PC in the next section.

Follow these steps:

1. Supply a valid JOB statement.
2. Replace yourTCPIP.PROFILE.dataset with the name of the TCP/IP profile data set for your system. Consult your local network administrators, if necessary.

   The job points to your profile.

3. Replace YourEmailAddress with your email address.

   The job points to your email address.

4. Replace yourUSSESDdirectory with the name of the USS directory that you use for ESD downloads.

   The job points to your USS directory.

5. Locate the product component to download on the CA Support Product Download window.

   You have identified the product component to download.

6. Click Download for the applicable file.

   Note: For multiple downloads, add files to a cart.

   The Download Method window opens.

7. Click FTP Request.

   The Review Download Requests window displays any files that you have requested to download.

   Note: We send you an email when the file is ready to download or a link appears in this window when the file is available.

8. Select one of the following methods:

   Preferred FTP

   Uses CA Technologies worldwide content delivery network (CDN). If you are not able to download using the Preferred FTP method, check the security restrictions for all servers that company employees can download from that are outside of your corporate network.

   Host Name: ftp://ftpdownloads.ca.com

   Alternate FTP

   Uses the original download servers that are based on Long Island, New York.

   Host Name: ftp://scftpd.ca.com for product files and download cart files and ftp://ftp.ca.com for individual solution files.

   Both methods display the host, user name, password, and FTP location, which you then can copy into the sample JCL.

   Note: For details regarding FTP, see the FTP Help document link in the Review Download Requests window and the Learn More link available in the Download Methods window.

9. Submit the job.

   Important! If your FTP commands are incorrect, it is possible for this job to fail and still return a zero condition code. Read the messages in the job DDNAME SYSPRINT to verify the FTP succeeded.

   After running the JCL, the pax file resides in the mainframe USS directory that you supplied.
