Installation Paths
Full Installation
Use the Full installation path to install one or more of the BMC Software
products on a single subsystem. All products allow you to choose a Full
installation path. This installation path has the following characteristics:
• creates new product libraries and DB2 objects
• allows an interface with other BMC Software products
• allows data migration from a previous release (when you specify the
Custom installation mode)
• allows you to retain BMC Software security authorization from a
previous release
• allows use of your own VSAM data sets (when supported by the selected
product and when you specify the Custom installation mode)
Note: ALTER and CHANGE MANAGER are the only products that must
have separate libraries for each DB2 version on which they are
installed.
Maintenance Installation
Use the Maintenance installation path to install a maintenance update of
BMC Software products. To use the Maintenance installation path, you must
have an installed version of the product.
Warning! The Maintenance installation path can overlay existing DB2
plans and packages. If you do not change the DB2 plan name,
you can lose access to your currently installed products. To avoid
this problem, specify a new DB2 plan name for the Maintenance
installation.
This installation path has the following characteristics:
• optionally creates new product libraries
• allows data migration from a previous release
• allows you to retain BMC Software security authorization from a
previous release
