Unloading the Install System
Unloading the Install System
Summary: Use the following procedure to unload the Install System from the
distribution tape.
Note: This procedure unloads only those files that you use during the
installation process. It does not unload any product files from the
tape.
Before You Begin
Before you unload the Install System from the distribution tape, you should
review the release notes, technical bulletins, and flashes that are included
with the product. These notices contain additional information about the
products on the tape, including information that may have been added after
this book was published.
At times it is necessary to cancel the installation process and revert to the
previous level of a product or a product tape set. To ensure that you can revert
to conditions prior to this installation, you should back up your current
version before you begin the installation process.
• Copy and save your current installation and product libraries. Depending
upon the products that you have installed, these libraries may include
LOAD, DBRM, PLIB, MLIB, SLIB, TLIB, INSTALL, CLIST, CNTL,
JCL, and MSGS.
• When you install, BMC Software recommends that you use unique plan
names, table names, repository names, and qualifier names.
To Unload the Install System
Step 1 Create a batch job similar to the one shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-7, as
follows:
1.A Create a job step to unload File 1 into a data set with the low-level
qualifier INSTALL (for example, BMC.INSTALL).
1.B Create a job step to unload File 2 into the load library that the Install
System will use (for example, BMC.INSTALL.LOAD).
Note: In Figure 2-1 on page 2-7, the variable XXXYMD represents the
product tape VOLSER. For products that are contained on two tapes,
use either tape to unload the Install System.
