Installation Process

Note Exit the CNTL library as soon as the INSTSMPE job stream is submitted. Keeping the data set open in your TSO session will cause the APPLY job to fail.

6HOLDDATA

Before installing system maintenance, obtain the most recent HOLDDATA file. You can obtain this file through anonymous FTP by logging in to ftp.interlink.com and requesting it as shown in the following example. For user ID, use anonymous; for password, user your email address.

ftp2

open ftp.interlink.com cd pub/ptf520

ascii

get hold.txt

At the prompt for a storfile name, enter the following (including the single quotation marks):

'your_80byte_pds(member)' quit

This file is in ASCII and is to be downloaded to MVS for processing by SMP/E. Translation of ASCII text to EBCDIC is automatic during transfer.

PTFs may have a HOLD status associated with them that should be reviewed before you begin the APPLY process. Review the ++HOLD requirements after you RECEIVE the SYSMODS. When satisfied, use a BYPASS(HOLDSYS) on the APPLY command and rerun the APPLY job without the CHECK parameter.

Use this HOLDDATA file as your SMPHOLD file in the SMPHOLD DD statement. If you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC for the latest HOLDDATA file.

7SMPECUMT

Member SMPECUMT in the CNTL library is used to apply maintenance to the base product.

The non-labeled (VOL=SER=PTFTAP) maintenance tape distributed with the product contains the latest maintenance for the Cisco IOS for S/390 product. Apply this maintenance, as well as any maintenance obtained interactively from our web site, prior to beginning any customization, as configuration files or parameters may have changed.

Before submitting the INSTSMPE member, consider the following:

—You may submit only the RECEIVE portion of this job first. This will let you review the HOLDDATA, especially any hold action that may appear and take appropriate action. It will also let you add additional BYPASS HOLD keywords to your APPLY statement.

Edit the SMPECUMT member by entering TCPNAMES at the command line.

—If you are using a tape management system such as CA1, you must modify the label parameter on your DD statements to include EXPDT=98000.

LABEL=1,NL,,EXPDT=98000

—If you are using JES2, add the following statement:

/*JOBPARM L=9999
