Installation Paths
BMC Software, Inc., Confidential and Proprietary Information
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation 1-15
Use the Maintenance installation path when the maintenance level for a
product changes (for example, from version 3.3.00 to version 3.3.01).
Note: The Maintenance installation does not provide DB2 object creation
for products that require this feature. You must use the Full
installation path to create DB2 objects. If the DB2 structures are
changed, you must perform a Full installation to migrate your data
from a previous release.
The Maintenance installation consists of the following paths:
• initial Maintenance installation
• subsequent Maintenance installation, which must share product libraries
Initial Maintenance Installation
Use the initial Maintenance installation path to apply a maintenance update
for the first time. Select this option to unload the distribution tape, create a
new set of product libraries or overlay existing libraries, generate new default
options, and bind plans and packages when applicable.
Subsequent Maintenance Installation
Use the subsequent Maintenance installation path to apply maintenance to
other installation sites that share the product libraries that were created
during the initial maintenance application. If the subsequent installation sites
do not share product libraries, you must use the initial Maintenance
installation path.
A subsequent Maintenance installation does not unload the distribution tape,
but it does create new default options files. When required by BMC Software
products, this type of maintenance installation also binds plans and packages.
Note: Edit your output JCL data set name in the User Options panel before
you perform a subsequent Maintenance installation.
SSID Installation
The SSID installation path is available for installation of BMC Software
products that require you to create a unique set of DB2 objects for each DB2
subsystem. This installation path has the following characteristics:
• uses product libraries that are created during the full installation
• allows creation of new DB2 objects
