Installing components that run on the z/OS platform
Components for the z/OS® platform must be installed by using the standard SMP/E installation process.
Prerequisite: Order a CBPDO
through the Shopz website.
Important: Installation on the z/OS
platform requires the knowledge and skills of a z/OS system
administrator or system programmer.
Installation of the IMS Enterprise Suite components involves the following steps:- For components other than IMS Mobile Feature Pack for z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition, review the Program Directory for IMS Enterprise Suite (GI10-8964) for installation requisites, operational requirements, and storage requirements.
- For IMS Mobile Feature Pack for
z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition, you have multiple options to
obtain the code.
- If you must use the SMP/E process to obtain the code, review the Program Directory for IBM IMS Mobile Feature Pack for z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition (GI13-4617) for installation requisites, operational requirements, and storage requirements.
- You can also install IMS Mobile Feature Pack for z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition by pointing to an IBM-hosted repository through the installation utility in z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition. You can download the repository file from the IMS Enterprise Suite download site and then transfer the file to your host system.
- Check the Preventive Service Planning (PSP) bucket information for any APARs that are marked
High Impact PERvasive (HIPER) and for any required PTFs against the base release. Important: The PSP buckets maintain current lists of any recommended or required service for the installation of this package after the installation package for the z/OS platform was created. You must follow the instructions and apply the mandatory APARs that are listed in the PSP bucket.
- Install the component by following the installation instructions in Section 6 in the Program Directory for IMS Enterprise Suite.
IMS Mobile Feature Pack and IMS SOAP Gateway installation requires IBM® Installation Manager for z/OS V1.8.3 or later. Order IBM Installation Manager for z/OS V1.4 (PID: 5655-IMZ) from Shopz and apply maintenance to upgrade to a minimum of V1.8.3 (PTF UI28795).
