Conversion Installation

The following procedure describes how to obtain and install the Control-M for z/OS Conversion Tool using the Installation and Customization Engine (ICE). For instructions on how to use ICE, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide: Installing.

Obtaining the installation files

Begin

This procedure describes how to obtain the installation files

1. Choose one of the following options:

   • Download the installation file from EPD (http://www.bmc.com/available/epd). Follow the instructions on the EPD site until you reach the Download Files page for Control-M for z/OS Conversion Tool. From the Products tab, click the relevant installation file and save it in a temporary directory.

   • Obtain a product CD from your local BMC Sales representative.

2. Transfer the image file to the mainframe as a binary file. This image file requires approximately 21 cylinders of a DASD volume. The DCB information for the image file is as follows:

   • RECFM = FB, LRECL=1024,BLKSIZE=6144

3. Uncompress the image file.

   The image file is compressed using the IBM TRSMAIN program. If you do not have TRSMAIN on your mainframe, instructions for downloading and installing it can be found at the following URL: http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/390/trsmain.html

   Once the image file has been uploaded to your mainframe, make the necessary changes in the following UNTERSE job to uncompress the image file. Specify basepref for your choice of prefix for the base libraries, which are described in the Installation and Customization Engine (ICE) section in the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide: Installing. This parameter must be specified again later in the installation process.

   Submit the following UNTERSE job and review the output of the job. Ensure that the return code is 0.
