Processing an ESD Image
To Process the ESD Image
Step 1 Use your site’s file transfer protocol (FTP) procedure to transfer the ESD
image to the data set that was just allocated on the mainframe, using a binary
transfer scheme. You can also use an internet browser to copy files to your
site, then upload the files to the mainframe.
If you are not familiar with FTP procedures, or if you need assistance
transferring the file to the mainframe, contact your site’s MVS system
programmer or technical support.
Step 2 Edit the mainframe data set as follows:
2.A Edit the job card to comply with your site’s requirements, using all
uppercase letters.
2.B To specify a high-level qualifier (HLQ) prefix for the expanded data
set (other than your user ID), remove the comment marker from the
PROFILE PREFIX statement, and specify a prefix. Only a
single-node prefix or high-level qualifier is allowed.
The prefix appends to the HLQ for the expanded data set, and you
can specify only one qualifier. The default HLQ prefix is your user
ID.
Note: Keep a record of the HLQ for later use. During installation,
you will identify the HLQ to the Install System.
2.C To specify a unit name for the data sets, replace the value
SYSALLDA with a valid DASD unit name.
2.D If you need to specify a volume for the uncompressed data sets, add
the volume parameter after the unit parameter as in the following
statement:
EXEC DCI.
prdvrm
.RECEIVE 'UNIT(SYSALLDA) VOL(
volume_ID
)';
where
prdvrm
indicates the actual product image file release
information.
Warning! Do not edit any other part of the job.
Step 3 Submit the job.
Note: If you have difficulty submitting the job, try saving your changes,
exit the data set, and submit the job externally.
Step 4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each ESD file transferred.
