Use the following procedure to use the direct file transfer method:
- Create a job by copying the appropriate sample JCL.
See Sample-JCL. If prompted, provide a valid support user ID and password. To register for a support user ID and password, go to http://www.bmc.com/support. Make the changes described in the following table:

Description
JOB statement
Customize the jobcard or jobcards to comply with your site’s requirements.
Variable text in the INPUT DD section
Change the variables in the input section as described in the description section of the JCL.
Consider the following information when modifying the JCL:
- Ensure that the JCL is unnumbered; FTP or SFTP reads all 80 characters.
- Set CAPS OFF and NUM OFF.
- Remove the angle brackets (< >) from around the variables when you update them.
- The BMC ESD FTP server is case-sensitive. You must use lowercase letters for all data in the INPUT DD section.
- To view the current password, go to File-server-and-certificate-information. If prompted, provide a valid support user ID and password. To register for a support user ID and password, go to http://www.bmc.com/support.
- If you do not use a variable, delete the line. Do not leave unused lines in the JCL.
- To determine the version number, see the information on the Home page of Installation System space.
- The data sets created by the JCL should not already exist.
- Submit the JCL to perform the download.
- Continue to Decompressing-the-Installation-System-image.
