Starting the Install System
Starting the Install System
Summary: After you unload File 1 and File 2 from the distribution tape, you must run a
CLIST to access the Install System. You can run the CLIST from the TSO
Commands Utility panel. This panel is displayed if you choose the Command
option from the ISPF/PDF Primary Option menu. You can also run the
CLIST from any ISPF command line.
Note: In this procedure, the variable HLQ is the high-level qualifier that
you assigned to the INSTALL data set when you unloaded the tape.
Before You Begin
Before you start the Install System, complete the following tasks:
• Unload the Install System as instructed in “Unloading the Install System”
on page 2-6.
• Verify that the installer’s ISPF profile data set has at least one free
directory block. If you do not have at least one free directory block, the
PROFILE NOT LOADED message or an ISPF STOW error message
is displayed, and the Install System dialog panel terminates.
• Run the IBM RUNSTATS utility on the DB2 catalog. BMC Software
Administrative Products use Structured Query Language (SQL) to access
the DB2 catalog. If you run the RUNSTATS utility, up-to-date statistics
are available to the DB2 Optimizer when it determines access paths that
could improve performance.
• The Install System uses the ZUSER symbolic to create temporary data
sets for the installation process and to identify the installer in the
comments of the installation JCL. If you prefer to use ZPREFIX instead
of ZUSER, you must edit member HLQ.INSTALL (DCIC0000). In
member DCIC0000, find the keyword
UNCOMMENT and follow the
instructions that are provided in the member.
• If you are using the Full installation path for a product, specify a
synonym qualifier to own all of the product’s synonyms. Each BMC
Software product that accesses DB2 tables uses its own set of synonym
names to access its own DB2 tables and the DB2 catalog tables. These
synonyms are created by the Install System. The Install System online
dialog panel prompts you to specify synonym qualifiers.
