Updating the server on z/OS
To update the Rational® Programming Patterns server that is installed on z/OS®, you must apply the PTF that is available with the fix.
Procedure
- Allocate host data sets for the fix A sequential data set must be allocated on z/OS to receive the fix that you will upload from your workstation. You can do it by submitting the job below. Add a job card and modify the parameters to meet requirements of your site before you submit it.Note: The following code contains the generic values HXXXXXX and UXXXXXX. You must replace them with the actual values that are available on the support website
//ALLOC EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //* //UXXXXXX DD DSN=hlq.IBM.HXXXXXX.UXXXXXX, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // DSORG=PS, // RECFM=FB, // LRECL=80, // UNIT=SYSALLDA, //* VOL=SER=volser, //* BLKSIZE=6160, // SPACE=(TRK,(103,20)) //*
- Upload the fix from your workstation to z/OS Upload the file in binary format from your workstation to the z/OS data set. On a Windows system, you can use FTP from a command line to upload the file. The table shows the commands that are entered by the user, and the values that are assumed.
User enters: Values mvsaddr TCP/IP address of the z/OS system tsouid TSO user ID tsopw TSO password d: Drive that contains the fix files hlq High-level qualifier that you used for the data set that you allocated in the job above C:\>ftp mvsaddr Connected to mvsaddr. 220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS %version% at mvsaddr, %time% on %date%. 220 Connection will close if idle for more than 60 minutes. User (mvsaddr:(none)): tsouid 331 Send password please. Password: tsopw 230 tsouid is logged on. Working directory is "tsouid.". ftp> cd .. 250 "" is the working directory name prefix. ftp> cd hlq 250 "hlq." is the working directory name prefix. ftp> binary 200 Representation type is Image ftp> put d:\IBM.HXXXXXX.UXXXXXX 200 Port request OK. 125 Storing data set hlq.IBM.HXXXXXX.UXXXXXX 250 Transfer completed successfully 5744800 bytes sent in 0.28 seconds ftp> quit 221 Quit command received. Goodbye.
- Perform SMP/E RECEIVE and APPLY for the fix
- Parameterize and run the BRPCPCCM JCL
that is supplied in hlq.IBM.HXXXXXX.F1 to copy
the rpp-profile.ini file into BLZCONF.
The BLZHOME, BLZCONF, and BLZWORK parameters must be identical to those of the BLZCPCCM JCL.
