Check that REWORK(1999048) (Code Set B) applies to you

There are currently two sets of code for OMCS 2.0.1:

1. Code Set A, provides a basic level of IRM functionality.
   This Code Set is used by just a handful of customers at this time.
   
   
2. Code Set B, providing enhanced IRM functionality, is used by the majority of customers.

For some time now ASE has maintained separate maintenance streams for these two flavours of OMCS 2.0.1 and ensured that each customer got sent only the correct PUT tapes or individual PTFs. Now that Y2K is driving us to make PTFs and APAR fixes available on the the Internet we must ensure that customers are aware of this factor so that they can reliably choose the correct downloads. (This problem will disappear with the demise of 2.0.1)

1. If SMP/E shows that you have SYSMOD ASP0269 applied (or superseded) then you are using Code Set B otherwise you are using Code Set A.
   PLEASE DO NOT GUESS OR MAKE ASSUMPTIONS - CHECK SMP/E
   ASP0269 missing => CODE SET A
   ASP0269 applied => CODE SET B
   
   
2. Whichever code set you are using you must continue to use only material from that code set. IRM control files may be damaged if this is not adhered to
   
   
3. Clients using Code Set A may upgrade to Code Set B at no cost. Please contact ASE for essential assistance if you wish to upgrade.

Download and print the Installation and Quickstart Guide OM88-1020

1. OM881020.ZIP Installation and Quickstart Guide OM88-1020-4
   
   
2. UNZIP this file on your PC. The unzipped file, OM881020.DOC, is an MSWORD 6 document file which you can print.
   
   
3. Review the section "Preparing Install Materials" in Part 1 together with the following notes.
   
   
4. 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. Job to create install libraries from FMID ZIP files Download zipped Install Job
   
   
2. UNZIP this file on your PC. The unzipped file is in EBCDIC. It will have a name like INSTBCE.JOB. You wont be able to read it, dont worry.
   
   
3. Transfer it to a host dataset with RECFM=FB, LRECL=80 and BLKSIZE= any valid multiple of 80, eg. 3120 or 23440. About 1600 records.
   

   download_file	to_dataset	dataset_size
   INSTB...JOB	hlq.INSTJOB.CNTL	SPACE=(TRK,5)

   
   
4. 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.

5. 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
   B2009048.ZIP	hlq.ASEB200.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,45)
   C2009048.ZIP	hlq.ASEC200.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,35)

   E2009048.ZIP	hlq.ASEE200.ZIP	SPACE=(TRK,5)

Tailor the Install job (dataset hlq.INSTJOB.CNTL)

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.

This job 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 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 APPLYd and any other special instructions followed, then the 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.
