Upload product files and perform SMP/E installation

BMC  provides a convenient way to upload product files and perform an SMP/E installation, all from a straightforward PC workstation interface. When you insert the product media for mainframe Extended Play (EP) products (or double-click the Setup.exe file from an electronic distribution), the BMC EP Setup window appears. You can use this interface to upload product installation and/or maintenance files to the mainframe and perform a full SMP/E installation.

Important

  • After you upload the product and/or maintenance files, and if you prefer using a mainframe TSO session to complete the SMP/E installation or application of maintenance, go to SMP/E Installation Using the ISPF Interface and continue with the instructions there.
  • You may optionally either upload the files, including all SMP/E installation JCL files, then use a mainframe session to submit the generated jobs to perform the SMP/E installation, or, upload all the files and automatically submit the SMP/E jobs.
