Installation Paths
Installation Modes
The Install System offers two installation modes for most products:
• Quick installation limits the number of panels that are shown for most
products to the common installation panels, and the synonym and default
processing options (DOPTs) panels. These panels use the default values
that BMC Software provides. The Quick option does not allow you to
migrate from an earlier version of a product.
• Custom installation displays all of the option panels for each product in
addition to the common installation panels. This option allows you the
most flexibility in setting up the components of the products, from file
and database names to file sizes and product-execution parameters.
Note: The Quick option is not available for all products. Refer to the
appropriate product chapter for information about the installation
options that are available for a specific product.
International Language Support
The Install System automatically invokes international language support if
the terminal type is 32xxKN. (The terminal type is set from the ISPF main
menu.) For this terminal type, the Install System also displays the installation
panels in uppercase letters.
Installation Paths
The installation path that you select depends on whether you are installing a
product for the first time or a new version of an existing product. To help you
choose an installation path for each product that you plan to install, review
the information in the following sections.
