This topic describes how to download the z/OS components of BMC AMI Capacity Management from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) facility. You can navigate to the EPD page from the BMC Support Central website.

Warning

Important

This topic applies to the z/OS components of BMC AMI Capacity Management. For information about obtaining and installing the Universal Information Exchange/VM (UIE/VM) component, see Installing-UIE-VM.

To download the z/OS components

  1. Download the following image file from the EPD site:
    uie-vnnnn-full-version.bin
    nnnn corresponds to the version number, for example, for version 2.0.00, nnnn is set to 2000.
    Use binary transfer to upload the image file to your z/OS system. This file, which contains a batch job requires you to pre-allocate a data set of approximately 350 tracks on the mainframe. The file format is PS (physical sequential), RECFM=FB, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=3120.
  2. After uploading the file, edit the dataset and make the following changes, as described in the comment section at the top of the image file:
    1. Edit the job card to conform to your system requirements. 
    2. Specify a PREFIX value in the following line:
      /* PROFILE PREFIX(&USERID);*/
      1. Uncomment the line by removing the characters /* and */.
      2. Change &USERID to the high-level qualifier that you want to use for the installation data sets.
    3. Specify UNIT and VOLSER values in the following line:
      EXEC MVP1900.RECEIVE 'UNIT(SYSALLDA)';
      1. Set the UNIT value by changing SYSALLDA to the type of unit you want to use when allocating the installation data sets. The default is SYSALLDA.
      2. Set the VOLSER value by adding VOL (vvvvvv) within the quoted string, where vvvvvv specifies the VOLSER that you want to use when allocating the installation data sets. The default is that no specific VOLSER is specified.
  3. Submit the batch job to expand the image file into installation data sets.
    The expanded installation data sets require approximately 1,100 tracks on a 3390 disk. When the job is complete, the installation data sets appear on your system. The high-level qualifier is the PREFIX value you specified, the middle-level qualifier is PASM, and the low-level qualifier is the data set type (such as CLIST or LOAD).

  4. To install the products using the Online Installation Facility:

    1. Using the same data set attributes as prefix.PASM.CNTL, create a PDS called hiqual.midqual.CNTL, where hiqual and midqual are the values you want to use for product data sets based on your site naming conventions.
    2. Copy prefix.PASM.CNTL into hiqual.midqual.CNTL.

    You are now ready to install the z/OS components of BMC AMI Capacity Management products. 
    You can install the products using one of the following methods:

    1. Install using ISPF panel—Use the ISPF panels to guide you through the process of providing installation parameters, and then building and submitting the job that does the install. For more information, see the section Installing-products-with-the-Online-Installation-Facility.
    2. Direct install—You can directly tailor a JCL file with the parameters that you want to use and submit the job. For more information, see the section Installing-products-using-JCL-files.
Warning

Important

After you verify that the installation was successful, you can delete the downloaded image file and the expanded installation data sets. The data sets whose names begin with hiqual.midqual are product data sets. You should not delete the product data sets.
