This document covers the following topics:
There are two methods for installing EntireX under z/OS:
the new, simplified installation method
the classic installation method as used in previous versions of EntireX
The information provided in this section applies to both methods. Then continue with either Simplified z/OS Installation Method or Installing EntireX Broker under z/OS.
Software AG licensing requires that the modules
LICMAIN and LICUTIL can
be loaded when the EntireX Broker starts up. These modules are distributed in
the MLC127.LOAD library.
The webMethods EntireX installation medium contains the data sets required to install all EntireX z/OS components. Data set names begin with a product code that identifies the module, as in the following tables.
With webMethods EntireX, the following additional products are included:
Various Base Products for EBCDIC platforms

Note:
In the table above, vrs represents the version, release and service
pack. Make sure you install the highest patch level available.
The installation of Software AG products on z/OS 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, an installation job is generated by SMA according to your specifications in SMA. If you are not using SMA, follow the instructions using your own jobs.
Information on using SMA for the installation process is provided in the System Maintenance Aid Manual.
For specific storage requirements, see the Software AG Product Delivery Report.
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.
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.
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.
Execute hilev.COPY.JOB to copy
single, multiple, or all data sets to your disk.
Continue the installation with either Simplified z/OS Installation Method or Installing EntireX Broker under z/OS.
