Update the Product Initialization Files

The final set of changes requires an outage of the VMDIRECT server. The server startup files are modified to interface with the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager startup interface.

Make the following changes to the server directory entry before you shut down the VMDIRECT server:

Remove the LINK to the VMRMAINT 192 as 1FF.
Add a LINK to the VMANAGER 1FF disk as 1FF.
Add a LINK to the VMANAGER 195 disk as 1FE.

Logon to the product server and perform the following steps:

Shutdown the server by issuing the END command.
Link to the VMDIRECT server 1FE disk as 1FE and access it as filemode 'X'. For example:
```
LINK * 1FE 1FE RR
ACCESS 1FE X                           
```
Link to the VMDIRECT server 1FF disk as 1FF and access it as filemode 'Z'. For example:
```
LINK * 1FF 1FF RR
ACCESS 1FF Z 
```
Copy the PROFRUN EXEC from the filemode 'X' disk to the filemode 'A' disk. For example:
```
COPYFILE PROFRUN EXEC X = = A
```
Using XEDIT, replace the last line in PROFRUN EXEC with the following:
```
‘EXEC VMISTART’
```
Rename your PROFILE EXEC file to PROFILE OLDEXEC.

Create a new PROFILE EXEC with the following lines:

/* Profile EXEC for VM:Director */
‘EXEC PROFRUN’

Add any desired PROFILE statements from your PROFILE OLDEXEC file to the PROFILE EXEC, but leave the PROFRUN call as the last line.
Check for any product materials from your old release of CA VM:Director on the A-Disk of the server. Issue the command:
```
VMNDFCAD
```
Any duplicate file on the A-Disk should replace the corresponding file on the D-Disk. These duplicate files were probably created when fixes were applied to the release of CA VM:Director installed by AIM. Copy these duplicate files to the D-DISK using the COPYFILE command with the OLDDATE and REPLACE options, then erase the copy of the duplicated file from the A-Disk.
Log off from the server.
Log on to the server to incorporate the new directory entry changes and then bring up the server normally.

Disconnect from the server and then resume the process to install the new CA VM:Director release by following the steps in Deploying the Product for an Upgrade.
