The CICS installation libraries

When you use CBPDO to install CICS® TS, you use the installation libraries shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22. Installation libraries for this release
 This figure illustrates the way that the CICS installation libraries are used, and the points that are made in the following list.

The names of the CICS installation libraries in Figure 22 and their use is explained in the following notes which refer to the numbers in the figure:

  1. Skeleton installation-related jobs are copied from data set HCI6400.F2 on the distribution tape into hlq.TDFHINST.
    hlq.TDFHINST
    is used to store the DFHISTAR that you edit and run to tailor the skeleton installation-related jobs to your CICS environment. Until you have installed the CICS software into the SMP/E-supported CICS libraries, this library also stores the skeleton jobs to be tailored.

     

  2. You edit DFHISTAR in the hlq.TDFHINST library, to specify CICS installation parameters specific to your CICS environment.
  3. When you run DFHISTAR, the tailored copies of the skeleton jobs are copied from the hlq.TDFHINST library to thehlq.XDFHINST library.
    hlq.XDFHINST
    is used to store the tailored, executable, copies of the skeleton jobs that are to be run.

     

  4. To install CICS, you run the tailored copies of the CICS-supplied installation jobs to transfer the CICS software from the distribution tape to the hlq.ADFHINST and hlq.SDFHINST libraries.
    hlq.ADFHINST
    is the SMP/E-supported distribution installation library.
    hlq.SDFHINST
    is the SMP/E-supported target installation library. After you have installed the CICS software into this and other SMP/E-supported libraries (named SDFHxxxx and ADFHxxxx), the skeleton jobs that you should use on any later runs of DFHISTAR are stored in the SDFHINST library.
Note:
The actual names of the TDFHINST and XDFHINST libraries, and the prefix for those and other CICS libraries, are defined in DFHISTAR, which you edit as described in this section.
