I am attempting to install the XML toolkit for z/os 1.8. I get to a certain point in the installation instructions and confusion arises. Any help would be appreciated. I will summarize below, where I am and where I am confused.
Thanx in advance Brad Taylor 1. I have downloaded and read the instructions. 2. I have created a download directory for the install package in a separate HFS and mounted it. MKDIR '/u/cbt1' MODE(7,5,5) MKDIR '/u/cbt1/xml18' MODE(7,5,5) MOUNT FILESYSTEM('USER.XML18.HFS') + MOUNTPOINT('/u/cbt1/xml18') + TYPE(HFS) MODE(RDWR) 3. I have created my own CSI for all SMP/E jobs. 4. I have updloaded the file from my workstation to the download directory created above. 5. I have unpaxed the uploaded file oshell cd /u/cbt1/xml18/ pax -rvf /u/cbt1/xml18/xml180.pax.Z 6. I have GIMUNZIPed unpaxed data createing the smp/e relfiles 7. I created the GLOBAL, TARGET, and DLIB zones in the smp/e csi. 8. I allocated the smp/e datasets SIXMEXP, AIXMEXP, AIXMHFS, SMPLOG, SMPPTS 9. I did the SMP/E RECEIVE for the FMIDs HXML160, HXML170, HXML180. The next thing I am supposed to do is run a JOB IXMISMKD from the ....F1 relfile. The program directory indicates that this could be installed in its own HFS, which is what I want to do. However there is no indication of sizing information or how to do that. I am thinking that I should create an HFS and mount it at /usr/lpp/ixm, since this is where the directory structure is created by the IXMMKDIR exec supplied as part of the installation. Since /usr/lpp/ixm already exists, in a read-only file system, I am thinking that I also need to temporarily mount that read/write and delete the ixm directory, prior to mounting the newly created file system. So my questions are: 1. where do I get sizing information, or is that AIXMHFS file allocated earlier somehow related (does not look like an HFS). 2. is createing and mounting the HFS at /usr/lpp/ixm, the correct thing to do? The following from the program directory. 6.1.7 Allocate HFS Paths The IXMISMKD job invokes IXMMKDIR exec to create the ixm directory under -PathPrefix-/usr/lpp where -PathPrefix- is the high level directory name. Insure the directory path -PathPrefix-/usr/lpp exists prior to running this job. Edit and submit sample job IXMISMKD to allocate the HFS paths for the Toolkit. IXMISMKD must be run from the Toolkit V1.8.0 relfiles. Consult the instructions in the sample job for more information. If you plan to create a new HFS for this product, you should consider updating the BPXPRMxx PARMLIB member to mount the new HFS at IPL time. This may be helpful if an IPL occurs before the installation is complete. Expected Return Codes and Messages: The job is considered successful if return code zero is received. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
