Processing an ESD Image
Summary: To install the data sets from an Electronic Software Distribution (ESD)
image, you must copy the image to the mainframe and expand the data sets.
Use the following procedure to accomplish this task. This procedure does not
describe how to acquire an ESD image from BMC Software. For information
about receiving your software electronically, contact your BMC Software
sales representative.
Before You Begin
At the BMC software download site, review the documents
README.HTML and ESD_MODULES.pdf to identify the files that you
need. If you are installing more than one product, modules and data sets that
are common among products need only be transferred once.
Note: Many products have only one required image while others have
several.
Before you can process the ESD image on your mainframe, you must
allocate a sequential data set on your direct access storage device (DASD), as
shown in Table 2-2.
The data set should have the following attributes:
• a fixed, binary record format (RECFM=FB)
• a logical record length of 80 columns (LRECL=80)
• a block size of 3120 bytes (BLKSIZE=3120)
