1-2 Administrative Products for DB2 Installation Guide
Overview
Overview
This chapter describes the Administrative Products for DB2 distribution tapes
and the installation requirements for the products on the tapes. You install
BMC Software products on MVS by using an Interactive System
Productivity Facility (ISPF) application called the Install System. This
chapter provides an overview of the Install System, and describes the types of
installations that you can perform using this application.
For information about installing the products on the Administrative Products
for DB2 CD, see Chapter 9, “Installing the Client for ALTER and CHANGE
MANAGER.”
Distribution Methods
BMC Software distributes products in the following ways:
• on hard media, such as a tape or CD
• electronically, either by file transfer protocol (FTP) or from the BMC
Software Web site (http://www.bmc.com)
The following sections describe the contents of the distribution tape. If you
request electronic distribution, the distribution package is an Electronic
Software Distribution (ESD) image. The image compresses the product data
sets into one or more sequential data sets. Installing from an ESD image is
slightly different than installing from a tape. For more information about
installing from an ESD image, see “Processing an ESD Image” on page 2-3.
Administrative Products Tapes
The Administrative Products are distributed on two tapes with the volume
prefixes TIS (Tools Install System) and SAT (Second Administrative Tape).
The products on the tapes are installed by the Install System.
Note: New to the TIS and SAT tapes is the marketing solution called
Administrative Assistant for DB2. When you choose Administrative
Assistant for DB2 on the Product Selection Menu, the ALTER for
DB2 and CATALOG MANAGER for DB2 products are
automatically installed.
