Unload the Installation Software into a New Data Set from Tape

The installation software helps install CA Mainframe Connector. The software is delivered on tape.

The installation software unloads into the dsnpref.LX10.CC2DJCL data set; dsnpref is a prefix you specify for your data sets.

If dsnpref.LX10.CC2DJCL does not exist and you are installing from tape, unload the installation software from the tape on to your DASD and into a new data set.

Follow these steps:

  1. Create an unload job by copying the following JCL:
    //jobname  JOB  ..............
    //STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
    //SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=* 
    //SYSUT1   DD   DSN=CAI.SAMPJCL,
    //              DISP=OLD,UNIT=?device_in,VOL=SER=?tapeser,
    //              LABEL=(1,SL,EXPDT=98000)
    //SYSUT2   DD   DSN=?dsnpref.LX10.CC2DJCL,
    //              DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
    //              UNIT=?device_out,VOL=SER=?volser,
    //              SPACE=(CYL,(10,1,120)),
    //              DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0)
    //SYSIN    DD   DUMMY
    

    Important! The SYSUT2 data set name must end with LX10.CC2DJCL.

  2. Replace the variables prefixed with a question mark (?) with your own values as follows:
    ?device_in

    Specifies the tape drive unit to mount the tape.

    ?tapeser

    Specifies the tape volume serial number. The complete value is printed on the label of your tape.

    ?dsnpref

    Specifies the data set prefix to use for the installation and maintenance data sets. Do not include the name of your planned product region in the prefix. If the data set high-level qualifiers you are using do not exist, define an alias entry in the master catalog.

    Limits: 29 characters

    ?device_out

    Specifies the type of the DASD device where you want to place the installation software.

    ?volser

    Specifies the volume serial number of the DASD.

    If SMS controls SYSUT2 allocation, replace UNIT= and VOL=SER= with STORCLAS=?storclass.

  3. Submit and run the job.
  4. Check that the job successfully completed.
