1. Download the Installation and Quickstart Guide OM88-1020-6
   
2. Review the section "Preparing Install Materials" in Part 1 together with the following notes.
   
3. If you want to proceed with the downloads immediately the following notes are entirely sufficient by themselves for that purpose.

Download and create the SMP/E install datasets

1. Download the FMID ZIP files
   It is only necessary to download the FMIDs that you are licenced for. If you are unsure of this please Email ASE and check.
   

   file_________	fmid______	Content_______________________________
   FMID ASEB200	ASEB200	OMCS/Version 2.8 Base product
   FMID ASEB201	ASEB201	OMCS Hardware Compression
   FMID ASEC200	ASEC200	OMCS/IRM Interactive Report Management
   FMID ASED200	ASED200	OMCS/JSF Job Scheduling Facility
   FMID ASEE200	ASEE200	OMCS/CICS Report Viewing Interface
   FMID ASEG300	ASEG300	OMCS/SRF Statement Reprint Facility
   		DO NOT UNZIP THESE FMID FILES!

   
   
2. Transfer each to a host dataset with RECFM=VB, LRECL=4092 and BLKSIZE=4096, named and sized as follows (hlq is your choice):
   

   download_file	to_dataset	dataset_size
   aseb200.zip	hlq.ASEB200.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,30)
   aseb201.zip	hlq.ASEB201.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,5)
   asec200.zip	hlq.ASEC200.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,25)
   ased200.zip	hlq.ASED200.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,10)
   asee200.zip	hlq.ASEE200.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,5)
   aseg300.zip	hlq.ASEG300.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,15)

   
   
3. Jobs to create install libraries from FMID ZIP files. There is one job for each FMID with names like UZIPnnnn.JOB where the nnnn part corresponds to the last four characters of the FMID eg. UZIPB200.JOB is for FMID ASEB200. Download the corresponding zip file below for each FMID you will be installing. Extract the .job file from each zip file - you wont be able to read them, dont worry.

   file_________	fmid______	Content_______________________________
   uzipb200.zip	ASEB200	Creates the install files from the ASEB200 zip file
   uzipb201.zip	ASEB201	Creates the install files from the ASEB201 zip file
   uzipc200.zip	ASEC200	Creates the install files from the ASEC200 zip file
   uzipd200.zip	ASED200	Creates the install files from the ASED200 zip file
   uzipe200.zip	ASEE200	Creates the install files from the ASEE200 zip file
   uzipg300.zip	ASEG300	Creates the install files from the ASEG300 zip file

   
   
4. Transfer the .job files to host datasets with RECFM=FB, LRECL=80 and BLKSIZE= any valid multiple of 80, eg. 3120 or 23440. Each contains about 1500 records and will require about 5 tracks.
   

Tailor the Install jobs

1. Modify the JOB statement to be valid for your installation.
   
2. Modify the PROC statement to set the correct hlq and disk unit name.

These jobs will produce one SMPMCS dataset and one or more "relative" files for each FMID. These new datasets will have the same high-level qualifier (hlq) as the hlq.fmid.ZIP datasets.

Make the "relative" files accessible to SMP/E

By default SMP/E will dynamically allocate the relative files using dataset names of the form fmid.Fn, eg. ASEB200.F1, ASEB200.F2, etc.

The first alternative, possible only if you have SMP/E Release 8 or later, is to edit the hlq.SMPMCS dataset for each FMID and insert a line to add the RFDSNPFX operand to the ++FUNCTION statement. RFDSNPFX only allows a single segment high level qualifier (hlq). Your ++FUNCTION statement will look like this after the change:

      ++FUNCTION(ASEB200) FILES(7)
                          REWORK(yyyyddd)
                          RFDSNPFX(hlq)
        /* (C) COPYRIGHT AUSTRALIAN SYSTEMS ENGINEERING yyyy */
        /* ALL RIGHTS RESERVED                               */.

The second alternative, required if you dont have a level of SMP/E that supports RFDSNPFX, is to rename the relative file datasets so that they no longer have the high level qualifier (hlq). The names must be of the form ASEB200.F1, ASEB200.F2, etc.

From this point it's standard SMP/E RECEIVE, APPLY and ACCEPT processing, described in the Installation and Quickstart Guide

Please note: Get the Install Bucket and read it!

The Install Bucket is the official ASE document describing any special installation considerations and any service (PTFs and APAR fixes) applicable to this product to prevent or correct known or anticipated problems. You should always get the latest copy of the install bucket from the web site when installing or at any later time when checking for applicable service.

The install bucket now contains a Y2K Compliance statement, positioned in the bucket so that, if all activity described above the statement has been satisfactorily completed, ie. sysmods applied and any other special instructions followed, then the installed installed product is Y2K Compliant.

There is also a link to the install bucket on the Sysmods List for the product.

To keep your workload down, we tailor the Install Bucket to omit APAR fixes that have been SUPd by PTFs that are in the bucket.

It is also quite valid to simply download each of the PTF ZIP files by clicking on the "PTF: ASPnnnn" links on the Sysmods List.
