Historically, the distribution of Acquires on multiple target systems to capture data for Syncsort™ Capacity Management could create a maintenance burden. When a new version of an Acquire became available, it was necessary to manually update the software on every target to take advantage of any new functionality or fixes.
To help alleviate some of the effort involved in staying current, Syncsort Capacity Management provides an Auto-update for Acquires feature and this section explains how to complete this process.
It is important to note that the Auto-update feature is compatible with Acquires for Windows (32 and 64-bit versions) and all Acquires for UNIX/Linux, as long as they are at version 7.50 or later. However, Auto-update is not compatible with the Acquires for z/OS, z/VM, or OpenVMS.
