Receiving Installation Files on z/OS

Expanding the product distribution file on your z/OS host is a two-step process. If you are using ISPF, issue the following TSO commands from ISPF Option 6 (TSO Commands). You can also exit ISPF and issue them from the TSO “READY” prompt. This TSO session must have access to an ISPF environment because the z/OS install process expects to employ ISPF panels to complete the installation. The steps described below assume TSO PROFILE NOPREFIX is NOT used.

  1. Enter:
       RECEIVE INDATASET(UST.BIN)

    Where the INDATASET(…) value is the name that you created during the file transfer to z/OS.

    This creates a partitioned data set containing two load modules. After the RECEIVE is complete, the name of the PDS is ‘user id.IDPREC.LOAD’. If you want a different name, then at the prompt:

        Data set FDRSYS.IDPREC.LOAD from USTCFG on JESCPUA

        Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +

    Enter:

        DSN (desired.name)

    Or take the default by pressing “ENTER.” A confirmation message is posted:

        Restore successful to dataset 'user id.IDPREC.LOAD'***

    Important

    This library is only used to unload the distribution files. It is not the FDR/UPSTREAM program library that is unloaded as part of this installation.

  2. Enter CALL 'userid.IDPREC.LOAD(IDPREC)'

    or, if you gave the PDS a different name:

       CALL 'dsname(IDPREC)'

    A welcome message is displayed. Enter appropriate responses to name and SYSOUT class prompts.

    You are also prompted to enter the 16-digit IDPREC PASSWORD supplied in the Order Acknowledgment e-mail.

A sample dialogue follows:

*-- -- --- -*
*   Welcome to Innovation's - PRODUCTION install of the UPSTREAM PRODUCT
*    A default pds 'user id.UST.SHIPPDS' will be deleted, allocated and loaded
*    Enter a new name or press enter to use default
*    A default TSO receive sysout class of X will be used
*    Enter a new sysout class value or press enter to use default
*    After the transmission file is unpacked and the TSO receive is finished
*    an ISPF menu will be displayed with a menu titled:
*    IDP PRODUCT INSTALL (SCREEN1) - (This will take about a minute)
*    This dialog has Help containing additional information about the install process
*- --- -- --*
Please enter IDPREC Password to load install file or QUIT to end

Follow the instructions on the ISPF panel to complete the installation of the distribution files.
