General Product Installation Procedure



Next, transfer the archive (VMARC) file to your CMS userid using either method below:.

(A) If you are logged on to your CMS userid:

Use the FTP command to download the VM archive file from your PC using the additional parameter BINARY to ensure that the transfer takes place in binary.

BINARY
GET product_name.VMARC (REPLACE

Next, log on to your CMS userid and type command FILELIST.



(B) If you are logged on to your PC:

Use the FTP client (such as Filezilla) to upload the VM archive file to your CMS userid using the additional parameter BINARY. Please ensure that your CMS userid is logged off so that VM's FTPSERVE can obtain write access to your A-Disk (virtual x'0191').

BINARY
PUT product_name.VMARC (REPLACE

Next, log on to your CMS userid and type command:

FILELIST * * A

You should now see the VMARC file.

product_name   VMARC   A

Exit FILELIST by using PF3.



For the first-time customer:
From the CMS command prompt run the VMARC file through the following pipeline command. This will reblock the file to a logical record length of 80 and fixed record format.
(Note Pipelines is a standard part of VM/CMS. The default stage separator is the | character. You are free to use any keyboard character not used otherwise in the command line itself )
We suggest piping the output to file TEMP, as below, so that you don't overlay the original file.
Also note the > and < characters in the PIPE command are for reading from and writing to a file.

PIPE ( SEP  |  )   <   product_name VMARC A  |  FBLOCK   80   00   |  >   TEMP VMARC A   F   80

Next, unpack the resultant file using the VMARC facility.

VMARC UNPK TEMP VMARC A  (REPLACE

For the current customer:
You can use the PIPEUNPK EXEC from prior product install.

PIPEUNPK product_name [ VMARC A ]
Example: PIPEUNPK product_name

This will generate the latest unpackaging exec, product module and product exec files files on your A-disk:


PIPEUNPK EXEC
product_name MODULE
product_name EXEC (s)


Next follow the Post-Installation Procedure.
