2 – Prepare Installation IMAGE from TRS File

Use this procedure to prepare an installation IMAGE from the TRS file.

2.1 – Transfer the INSTALL.TRS file using FTP Binary

  1. Using FTP, upload file INSTALL.TRS from the TRS file to the target system, using BINARY format.

    • The name of the uploaded dataset must be the name set for upload dataset name in the Installation Upload and IMAGE Datasets Parameters table.

    • The uploaded dataset should be pre-allocated with LRECL=1024, BLKSIZE=6144, RECFM=FB

    • The dataset size is approximately 45 cylinders on a 3390 device.

  2. At the command prompt, specify the following commands to upload the dataset:

    FTP <mvssystem>

    where <mvssystem> is the DNS name of your host system.

  3. Specify the user ID and password or phrase; specify the following commands:

    Copy 
    bin
    put <drive>:\TSS\Install\install.trs
    '<upload_dataset_name>'

2.2  – UNCOMPRESS the TRS file

Important
Wait for the previous installation job to finish before continuing with this procedure.

  1. Tailor the following TRSMAIN job. Replace upload_dataset_name and %xmitlib% with the values set in the Installation Upload and IMAGE Datasets Parameters table.

    Copy 
    //UNTERSE  JOB ,'UNTERSE',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X
    //*
    //UNTERSE  EXEC PGM=TRSMAIN,PARM=UNPACK
    //SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*
    //INFILE   DD   DISP=SHR,DSN=<upload_dataset_name>     <== Customize
    //OUTFILE  DD   DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=SYSALLDA,
    //       DSN=%xmitlib%,             <== Customize 
    //       SPACE=(CYL,(120,10,10),RLSE)

  2. Run the job.

    The job step should end with a condition code of 0.

2.3 – Tailor the $RECEIVE Job

Important
Wait for the previous installation job to finish before continuing with this procedure.

  1. Edit the $RECEIVE member in the%xmitlib% library. The job performs RECEIVE operations to convert the uncompressed files from XMIT format to the installation IMAGE format.

  2. Replace %xmitlib%, %instpref%, %UNIT% and %VOLSER% with the values set in Installation Upload and IMAGE Datasets Parameters.

    Note
    Verify that your SMS does not impose attributes on the installation files by SMS DATACLAS or by pre-allocation.

2.4 – RECEIVE the Installation IMAGE

  1. Run the $RECEIVE job.

    All job steps should complete with a condition code of 0.

  2. Check the job output and verify that all RECEIVE and COPY instructions ended successfully and all members were received and copied.
