Unloading the Installation Library from tape

To unload the Installation Library, unload the first file on the distribution tape to a data set named
hiqual.midqual.CNTL
where hiqual and midqual are parameters that you assign to identify the data set naming conventions to be used for your products.

1. Tailor the TAPEREAD JOB, as shown here, to conform to the standards in effect at your site.

   /TAPEREAD JOB <YOUR INSTALLATION PARAMETERS>
   //*
   //* JOB TO UNLOAD THE OS/390 PRODUCT INSTALLATION LIBRARY

   //				SPACE=(TRK,(30,3,15),RLSE)
   //SYSIN		DD *
   				COPY OUTDD=OUTDD1,INDD=INDD1 

   
   The TAPEREAD JOB unloads the Online Installation Facility. Perform the following actions:

   1. Verify that the volume serial number written on the external label of the distribution tape matches the value of the VOL=SER parameter in the DD statement INDD1
   2. Verify that the tape unit matches naming requirements at your site.
   3. Specify hiqual and midqual parameters in the DD statement OUTDD1 to identify the data set naming conventions that you want to use for the products.
      You use these parameters to invoke the product.
   4. Specify a disk volume VOL=SER= xxxxxx for the DD statement OUTDD1, where xxxxxx identifies the disk to which you want to unload the Online Installation Facility.
      Make sure that the disk unit matches the naming requirements at your site.
2. Submit the tailored TAPEREAD JOB.
   The Installation Library is unloaded from the distribution tape onto your system.
