Installation Steps for z/OS - Finalist - 10.0

To install the Finalist for z/OS software, follow these steps.

1. Download the software from the estore to a PC. Unzip the file.
2. Use binary FTP files to send files to your mainframe.
   1. The first set of files is the *.UNLOAD files. These files should be uploaded to an FB 80 sequential dataset using as much as 100 3390 tracks. A specific block size is not required.
   2. The second set of files is the *.DAT files.

      DPVSUD00.DAT is a dataset with a size of 1 track and RECFM=F (not FB) and LRECL=7.

      LLKSUD00.DAT is a dataset with a size of 1 track and RECFM=F (not FB) and LRECL=7.

      SAMPLIVP.DAT is a dataset with a size of 10 3390 tracks and RECFM=FB and LRECL=600.

   3. An uploadz.ftp file has been provided to give approximate file sizes for files to be uploaded to your mainframe. These file sizes are based on 3390 DASD storage. This file is based on standard IBM FTP protocol. The FTP protocol may vary on your system. See your systems programmer for site-specific details.
3. Edit the uploadz.ftp file and insert your mainframe address.
   1. Edit the USERID and PASSWORD values to the appropriate values for your system. You may remove any sections that do not apply to your site. Note that there are separate sections for install component uploading and for sample restore JCL uploading. (You may remove the IMS or CICS sections if you do not use those options.)
   2. Change "hlq." to the appropriate high level qualifier for your installation.
4. The uploadz.bat file has been provided to automatically execute FTP to send the files to your mainframe. From Windows Explorer, double-click the uploadz.bat file to send the files to your mainframe.
5. All customers should edit and submit the hlq.RECEIVEB.JCL JCL to create the base (batch) object libraries:
   • BALCOPYL
   • BAOBJLIB
   • CINCLUDE
   • COBCOPYL
   • FNSOURCE
   • X6OBJLIB
   • XBOBJLIB
6. CICS customers should edit and submit the hlq.RECEIVEC.JCL JCL to create the CICS object libraries:
   • CIOBJLIB
   • CISOURCE
7. IMS customers should edit and submit the hlq.RECEIVEI.JCL JCL to create the IMS object libraries:
   • ACBCNTL
   • DBDSORC
   • GENMAC
   • JCLLIB
   • PSBSORC
   • SORCLIB
   • TFMTSORC
8. Link the Finalist base product.

   Edit and submit member INSTALLB to build the Finalist executable system from the object members. This member creates regular executables, XPLINK (High Performance linker) executables, and 64-bit executables (X64). XPLINK requires z/OS 1.2 and higher for complete support.

   INSTALLB generates PDSE datasets for both object and load libraries. If you do not want to use PDSE datasets, you may manually remove the DSNTYPE=LIBRARY statement from the install member. The XPLINK and X64 executables require PDSE datasets. If you remove PDSE datasets, you must also manually remove the XPLINK and X64 LINK-EDIT steps. All XPLINK and X64 LINK-EDIT step names begin with the letter X.

   Steps LINKLIST and LINKADSC normally display RC=4. Edit member INSTALLB using the comments at the beginning of the member.

9. Store your Finalist key in the Finalist load library.

   If you will be running the Compatibility Interface (CI aka Wrapper), you must also edit and submit member KEYSTORE to store your Finalist key into the Finalist load library. Edit member KEYSTORE using the comments at the beginning of the member.
