For availability reasons, you are strongly advised not to perform an update installation on the active home pubset!
Certain hardware requirements must be fulfilled for a first-time installation: the installed hardware configuration must be a su- perset of the minimum configuration, i.e. it must include at least one business server with input/output system and operator terminal with associated service processor, plus one tape con- troller and disk controller with one tape device and two disk de- vices respectively.
Note: Only a two character tape mnemonic is allowed for the CD drive of the SKP-X.
The CD drive of the SKP-X based on the PRIMERGY 470 hardware is supported as a tape device as of SINIX-2000-Z V8.1A K818.4 and BS2000/OSD V5.0C (device with type code E8) for reading CDs. This allows the CD to be used as a data media for software deliveries.
CALENDAR:
The public holiday file (file for managing public holidays) must be generated by systems support from the sample file $TSOS.SYSDAT.CALENDAR.140.HOLIDAY or from an old public holiday file:
/COPY-FILE FROM-FILE=$TSOS.SYSDAT.CALENDAR.150.HOLIDAY,
TO-FILE=$TSOS.SYSDAT.CALENDAR.HOLIDAY,PROTECTION=*SAME
File protection attributes:
Files with protection attributes intended to prevent deletion are deleted without these protection attributes being taken into con- sideration if a FREE-FOR-DELETION date was assigned and this has expired (since BS2000/OSD-BC V3.0).
DEFLUID user ID and subsystems:
When upgrading subsystems whose start time is defined as 'BEFORE- SYSTEM-READY' you should make sure that all files required for starting these subsystems are available under $TSOS on the home pubset SYSLNK, (SPMLNK, SPULNK), SYSREP, possibly also SYSMES, SYSSDF (SPMSDF) and SYSSSI or SYSPAR).
The user ID for loading and starting programs, procedures etc. that can be set via the class 2 system parameter 'DEFLUID' is not supported for these subsystems.
MSGMAKER:
Files can be exchanged or included using /COPY-MSG-FILES or /MERGE-MSG-FILES.
For performance reasons, large numbers of messages should be processed with MERGE-MSG-FILES. This command is not listed when MSGMAKER is started. However, by entering '?' in the 'command' field of the screen mask you can switch to guided dialog. The call can also be made via the batch interface. The output file must always be empty.
