Installing Your Product from Pax-Enhanced ESD › Copy Installation Files to z/OS Data Sets

Copy Installation Files to z/OS Data Sets

Use this procedure to invoke the SMP/E GIMUNZIP utility to create MVS data sets from the files in the product-specific directory.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate and read the product readme file or installation notes, if applicable, which resides in the product-specific directory that the pax command created. This file contains the product-specific details that you require to complete the installation procedure.

   You have identified the product-specific installation details.

2. Use ISPF EDIT or TSO ISHELL to edit the UNZIPJCL sample job. You can perform this step in one of the following ways:
   • Use ISPF EDIT. Specify the full path name of the UNZIPJCL file.
   • Use TSO ISHELL. Navigate to the UNZIPJCL file and use the E line command to edit the file.

   The job is edited.

3. Change the SMPDIR DD PATH to the product-specific directory created by the pax command.

   Your view is of the product-specific directory.

4. If ICSF is not active, perform the following steps:
   1. Change the SMPJHOME DD PATH to your Java runtime directory. This directory varies from system to system.
   2. Perform one of the following steps:
      • Change the SMPCPATH DD PATH to your SMP/E Java application classes directory, typically /usr/lpp/smp/classes/.
      • Change HASH=YES to HASH=NO on the GIMUNZIP parameter.

   One of the following occurs: ICSF is active, or you are using Java.

5. Change all occurrences of yourHLQ to the high-level qualifier (HLQ) for z/OS data sets that the installation process uses. We suggest that you use a unique HLQ for each expanded pax file to identify uniquely the package. Do not use the same value for yourHLQ as you use for the SMP/E RELFILEs.

   All occurrences of yourHLQ are set to your high-level qualifier for z/OS data sets.

6. Submit the UNZIPJCL job.

   The UNZIPJCL job completes with a zero return code. Messages GIM69158I and GIM48101I in the output and IKJ56228I in the JES log are acceptable.

   GIMUNZIP creates z/OS data sets with the high-level qualifier that you specified in the UNZIPJCL job. You use these data sets to perform the product installation. The pax file and product-specific directory are no longer needed.
