Preparing when RTCS is not installed

If Runtime Component System (RTCS) is not installed on your systems, you use the bootstrap version that the Installation System provides. Use the following procedure to set up the bootstrap version of the Installation System repository.

Important

A bootstrap RTCS is used for the Installation System repository only. It is not a full-function RTCS for use by products. If a product requires RTCS, install the product, including the full-function RTCS. After the installation, the full-function RTCS will be used for the Installation System repository. Before using the product, stop the bootstrap RTCS and optionally import the bootstrap RTCS repository information into the full-function RTCS. For more information on performing these tasks, see Managing-the-bootstrap-RTCS.

To prepare the bootstrap Installation System repository

  1. If you have not started the Installation System, do so as described in Starting-the-Installation-System.

  2. On the Runtime Component System Not Active panel, select Setup a bootstrap version of RTCS.

     BMIPRTCS              Runtime Component System Not Active                      
     Command ===> _______________________________________________________________________
                                                                                   
     The Runtime Component System (RTCS) is not active on this system. The BMC      
     Software Installation System requires that RTCS be active. The data entered    
     while installing products is stored in a repository hosted by RTCS. If RTCS is
     not installed you can choose to run a bootstrap version.                       
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
     Select one of the following actions:                                           
     __  1. RTCS was installed and has now been started                             
         2. Setup a bootstrap version of RTCS                                       
         3. Exit the installation system                                            
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
     Regardless of the action selected, the Installation System will terminate and  
     after RTCS is active, you will be able to access the Installation System.

  3. On the RTCS Bootstrap Options panel, specify the requested information.

     BMIPBRTC                    RTCS Bootstrap Options                             
     Command ===>                                                                   
     Enter the information below for the RTCS Bootstrap system. These values will be   
     used in generating the jobs to establish the RTCS Bootstrap system.

    1. Specify the high-level qualifier (HLQ) and allocation information for the bootstrap RTCS data set.The data set will be named HLQ.BOOTSTRAP.JCL.
    2. Specify a started task name and a program library HLQ for the bootstrap RTCS.
    3. Specify job card information for the generated JCL.
    4. Press Enter.

    Important

    The bootstrap RTCS libraries must be APF authorized.

  4. On the list of bootstrap jobs, run each job as instructed in the $000$DOC member.
