INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: VERIFY EXECUTE PERMISSION ON THE INSTALLATION BINARY
1. "cd" to the working directory in USS where the D49002 subdirectory was extracted.
2. Issue a ls -l to view the D50001os.bin permissions. If you do NOT see:
-rwxr-xr-x D50001os.bin
then you will need to change the permissions.
3. Use the chmod command to make D50001os.bin executable:
chmod 755 D50001os.bin
4. Issue a ls -l again to confirm that D50001os.bin has execute permission.
You should now see:
-rwxr-xr-x D50001os.bin
STEP 2: LOCATE SASHOME AND BACK UP THE DEPLOYMENT REGISTRY
During the hot fix installation you will need to provide the <SASHOME>
location to be updated. You should provide the path to the top level SAS
directory where the deploymntreg directory exists.
It is recommended that you back up the deploymntreg directory prior to
executing the hot fix binary. You can "cd" to your <SASHOME> and
issue a command:
cp -rf deploymntreg <backup_file_name>
STEP 3: EXECUTE THE HOT FIX BINARY
There are two methods for executing the hot fix binary. Select the method
appropriate for your environment to install this hot fix.
Method A) Line mode
Invoke the hot fix installation using the -silent option.
./D50001os.bin -- -silent
Note: -- (represents two dashes)
Method B) Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode
Invoke the hot fix installation.
This method requires the use of an X11 server. An installation
wizard will be initiated and will guide you through the hot fix
installation process.
Set your DISPLAY environment variable
export DISPLAY=<your_node_name>:0
Execute the hot fix package
./D50001os.bin
A hot fix installation log will be created in the following location:
<!SASHOME>/InstallMisc/InstallLogs/Maintenance/MIT_date-and-time-stamp.log
Note: Each attempt to install a hot fix results in the creation of a new log file giving
detailed information regarding the installation process.
A preexec and postexec log is created during the hot fix installation process. The
prexec log is created prior to installing the updates in the hot fix and identifies the
files included in the hot fix that should be updated during the hot fix installation. The
postexec log is created after the installation is completed and identifies the files that
were updated.
Both logs are written in the <!SASHOME>/InstallMisc/InstallLogs/Maintenance directory
and include the hot fix id in the name of the file, for example:
itrmdatatier_3.2_M0_HFD50001_mvs_xx_Install_postexec.log
itrmdatatier_3.2_M0_HFD50001_mvs_xx_Install_preexec.log
This completes the installation of hot fix D50001 on z/OS.
Return to the D49002 install instructions.
