Installing
You use the Installation System to install the Application Accelerator product modules. After prompting you for required values, the Installation System creates JCL that you can execute to prepare SMP/E zones.
To enableApplication Accelerator execution on a specific CPU, you must install an authorization password from BMC. The three-character product code that you use to install Application Accelerator passwords is IBO.
Periodically, BMC distributes updates for Application Accelerator product modules in the form of PTFs. You use the Installation System to apply PTFs to your SMP/E zones.
For more information about these topics, see the Installation System documentation. Also, for specific information about installing Application Accelerator (including relevant FMIDs), see the Application Accelerator release notes.
Use the following task map as a quick reference for understanding the Installation System and completing an installation. For more information, use the links in the table below the figure or go to Installation System.
Other product components require little maintenance.
