Before the Installation

This section covers the following topics:

Installation Jobs

The installation of Software AG products is performed by installation jobs. These jobs are either created manually or generated by System Maintenance Aid (SMA).

For each step of the installation procedure described below, the job number of a job performing the respective task is indicated. This job number refers to an installation job generated by SMA. If you are not using SMA, an example installation job of the same number is provided in the job library on the Entire Output Management installation medium; you have to adapt this example job to your requirements.

Note
The job numbers on the installation medium are preceded by the product code (for example, NOMI060).

Using System Maintenance Aid

For information on using Software AG's System Maintenance Aid (SMA) for the installation process, refer to the System Maintenance Aid documentation.

Prerequisites

Before you can install Entire Output Management, certain prerequisite products must be installed at your site. For detailed information on these products, see the Prerequisites sections in the Release Notes.

The installation medium contains the files listed below.

The sequence of the files is shown in the Software AG Product Delivery Report which accompanies the installation medium.

Notation vrs or vr: If used in the following document, the notation vrs or vr stands for the relevant version. For further information on product versions, refer to the entry Version in the Glossary of the Natural documentation.

Copying the Data Sets to Disk

Copying the Data Sets to a z/OS Disk

Copy the data sets from the supplied installation medium to your disk before you perform the individual installation procedure for each component to be installed.

The way you copy the data sets depends on the installation method and the medium used:

  • If you use System Maintenance Aid (SMA), refer to the copy job instructions provided in the System Maintenance Aid documentation.

  • If you are not using SMA and want to copy the data sets from CD-ROM, refer to the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM.

  • If you are not using SMA and want to copy the data sets from tape, follow the instructions in this section.

This section explains how to copy all data sets from tape to disk.

Step 1: Copy Data Set COPY.JOB from Tape to Disk

  • Modify the following sample job according to your requirements:

    //SAGTAPE JOB SAG,CLASS=1,MSGCLASS=X
//* ---------------------------------
//COPY EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=COPY.JOB,
// DISP=(OLD,PASS),
// UNIT=(CASS,,DEFER),
// VOL=(,RETAIN,SER=tape-volser),
// LABEL=(2,SL)
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=hilev.COPY.JOB,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=disk-volser,
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),
// DCB=*.SYSUT1
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//

    where:

    tape-volser is the VOLSER of the tape, for example: T12345,
    hilev is a valid high-level qualifier, and
    disk-volser is the VOLSER of the disk.

  • Execute the job to copy the data set COPY.JOB to your disk.

Step 2: Modify hilev.COPY.JOB on Your Disk

  • Modify hilev.COPY.JOB according to your requirements:

    Set EXPDT to a valid expiration date, for example, 99365.

    Set HILEV to a valid high-level qualifier, for example, USERLIB.

    Set LOCATION to a storage location, for example, STORCLAS=ABC or UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=USR123.

Step 3: Submit COPY.JOB

  • Execute hilev.COPY.JOB to copy single, multiple, or all data sets to your disk.
