Generating installation options

When you install the High-speed Apply Engine using the BMC Installation System, the installation process generates a customized installation data set. This data set contains all jobs required to install High-speed Apply Engine into your specific Db2 environment.

One of these jobs establishes the installation option values (also known as DOPTs). The $C30DOPT member of the installation data set contains a job that runs the assembler with an options macro that establishes the installation processing values for High-speed Apply Engine. The format of the installation options specification is the same as for an High-speed Apply Engine configuration file. (For more information about the High-speed Apply Engine configuration file format, see Configuration-file-format.)

The PlanName (PLAN) parameter in the [Startup] section is a required value. You can optionally tailor other default configuration information as needed.

When you submit the generated job containing the installation options, it assembles and links this option macro call to create an installation options module in the APF authorized library that you designated during installation. The default name for this module is APT$OPTS. When High-speed Apply Engine runs, it must be able to locate and read an installation options module (either the default module or a module that you have edited, assembled and linked). If it cannot read an installation options module, High-speed Apply Engine displays an error message and terminates the processing.

If you modify any of the values in the installation options after High-speed Apply Engine has been installed, you must rerun the installation job for these changes to take effect. If you have previously installed High-speed Apply Engine and want to keep the same installation option values, you can

  • Gather your existing option values before you start to install and then enter the same values as you run the Install System
  • Use the Options Migration feature of the Installation System (for more information, see the Installation System documentation)
