Download the Installation and Quickstart Guide OM88-1020

  1. Download the Installation and Quickstart Guide OM88-1020-7
  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 ASEB209 ASEB209 OMCS/Version 2.9 Base product
    FMID ASEC209 ASEC209 OMCS/IRM Interactive Report Management
    FMID ASED209 ASED209 OMCS/JSF Job Scheduling Facility
    FMID ASEE209 ASEE209 OMCS/CICS Report Viewing Interface
    FMID ASEG209 ASEG209 OMCS/SRF Statement Reprint Facility

  2. Unzip each and transfer (as binary) the resulting fmid.install.xmit file to a host dataset with RECFM=FB, LRECL=80 and BLKSIZE=0 named and sized as follows (hlq is your choice):
    download_file unzipped_file_______ to_dataset__________________ dataset_size
    aseb209.zip aseb209.install.xmit hlq.ASEB209.INSTALL.XMIT SPACE=(TRK,145)
    asec209.zip asec209.install.xmit hlq.ASEC209.INSTALL.XMIT SPACE=(TRK,145)
    ased209.zip ased209.install.xmit hlq.ASED209.INSTALL.XMIT SPACE=(TRK,35)
    asee209.zip asee209.install.xmit hlq.ASEE209.INSTALL.XMIT SPACE=(TRK,5)
    aseg209.zip aseg209.install.xmit hlq.ASEG209.INSTALL.XMIT SPACE=(TRK,70)

  3. Jobs to extract install datasets from FMID INSTALL.XMIT datasets. There is one job for each FMID with names like RECVnnnn.JCL where the nnnn part corresponds to the last four characters of the FMID eg. RECVB209.JCL is for FMID ASEB209. Download the corresponding zip file below for each FMID you will be installing. Extract the .jcl file from each zip file.
    file_________ fmid______ Content_______________________________
    recvb209.zip ASEB209 Creates the install files from the ASEB209 zip file
    recvc209.zip ASEC209 Creates the install files from the ASEC209 zip file
    recvd209.zip ASED209 Creates the install files from the ASED209 zip file
    recve209.zip ASEE209 Creates the install files from the ASEE209 zip file
    recvg209.zip ASEG209 Creates the install files from the ASEG209 zip file

  4. Transfer the .jcl files (as text or ascii) to host datasets with RECFM=FB, LRECL=80 and BLKSIZE=0. Each will only require one track of space.

Tailor the RECVnnnn jobs

  1. Modify the JOB statement to be valid for your installation.

These jobs assume that the high-level qualifier (hlq) of the hlq.fmid.INSTALL.XMIT datasets is your TSO prefix.

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

From this point continue the installation as described in the Installation and Quickstart Guide beginning at the section Allocating the OMCS libraries.

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.
