Precisely delivers the VeriMove software as an internet download in a compressed format as a .zip file.

The installation .zip file includes:

  • IDSINSTL JCL - Used to upload and install your new software release.
  • Installation JCL - The $$READIN member contains an index of all install library members.
  • Object file(s) - Contains the software (*.OBJ files).
  • Input data file - Sample records used for installation verification.
  • Other files - Files that may be pertinent to your release (*.DAT files).
    Note: The IDSINSTL JCL member is a complete job that performs all functions required to upload specific product libraries and support files to the mainframe. The job is complete. If your site does not utilize FTP as the preferred file transfer protocol, substitute the FTP step with the utility used at your site and the job will continue to be operational.

To download and extract your VeriMove software, follow these steps:

  1. You will receive an email notification that contains a link to download the VeriMove software for your supported platform(s).
  2. Click on the link to access the installation .zip file.
  3. Follow the instructions in the FAQ section of the email to download the installation .zip file.
  4. Download the installation .zip file.
  5. Extract the setup files from the downloaded .zip file.
  6. Install the Windows version of VeriMove. For instructions, see Installing VeriMove on Windows. You must install VeriMove on a Windows computer before installing VeriMove on the z/OS platform.
  7. FTP the file IDSINSTL.JCL to a z/OS system. Insert a job card at the beginning of the file. Perform "change all" on the lowercase names shown in the comments at the top of the JCL.

    After the files have been uploaded, you will find the following files and partitioned datasets located relative to 'yourhlq.VERIMOVE'.

    Table 1. Uploaded File Descriptions
    File Name Description
    INSTALIB JCL used to execute various processes
    LOADLIB Executables used by the JCL in INSTALIB
    OBJLIB Object files used by the linking process (see next section)
    SAMPJOBD Sample job definitions in XML that may be used to test VeriMove
    SAMPMANI Manifest files in XML format used to control the upload of data to the system
    SAMPCNFG Sample configuration file (equivalent to config.ini on Windows)
    SAMPDATA Sample input file (equivalent to SampleData\SampleData.txt on Windows)
    SAMPDATA2 Sample input file (equivalent to SampleData\SampleDataFormat2.dat)
  8. (Optional) Relink the executables. Before executables in 'yourhlq.VERIMOVE.LOADLIB' can be executed, the executables may need to be relinked for your particular z/OS platform. Edit "yourhlq.VERIMOVE.INSTALIB(LNKBATCH)", inserting a job card at the beginning and doing a "change all" on the lowercase variables as indicated in the comments at the top of the JCL.
  9. Edit the configuration file. The configuration file includes preset values tested for optimum performance across platforms. Changing the preset values may adversely affect your system performance. Precisely recommends you consult with a Precisely Technical Support Representative or Professional Services Representative before changing any preset default values.
  10. If you are an existing VeriMove user:
    1. The default IDInstall.jcl provided will overwrite your current sampcnfg file if set to the same file qualifier as your current sampcnfg file.
    2. The default IDInstall.jcl provided will overwrite your current sampcnfg file if set to the same file qualifier as your current sampcnfg file.
    3. You may change the qualifier in the IDinstall.jcl to write to a new file qualifier to get the latest configuration file or overwrite and reapply your settings.
    4. If you decided to edit and use the latest configuration file, edit the new configuration file and replace the current one. For a complete discussion of all configuration file fields, please see Configuring Your VeriMove Installation.
  11. If you are a new VeriMove user, the installation program installs the SAMPCNFG configuration file as part of the normal installation process.
    1. Enter the appropriate information in the following fields in the SAMPCNFG configuration file.
    2. For the remaining fields in the SAMPCNFG configuration file, Precisely recommends you use the default values.
  12. For information on all configuration file fields, please see Configuring Your VeriMove Installation.

    NCOA Use High Memory Specify whether to use high memory using these codes:
    0
    Turns off the large memory model. This is referred to as the small memory model. Use this option when only a small amount of limited real memory is available to you. The default value is 0.
    1
    Turns on the large memory model. A large number of data files are loaded into memory to improve performance. Use this option only if you have enough free real memory available (see note below).

    This setting may affect the performance of your system. Setting this to 1, causes a number of database tables to be loaded into memory. The set up of the database takes more time at the beginning of a run but may improve performance if your platform has lots of physical memory.

    When VeriMove is set to "Large Memory Model" (NCOA Use High Memory=1), DPV, LACSLink and SuiteLink are configured to the "L" (Large) memory model. When VeriMove is set to "Small Memory Model" (NCOA Use High Memory=0), DPV, LACSLink and SuiteLink are configured to the "U" (Ultra) memory model.

    Note: When using the large memory model and internal CASS processing, VeriMove uses approximately 1.7 GB of memory. When using the large memory model and external CASS processing, VeriMove uses approximately 1 GB of memory.

    It is recommended that you sort your list(s) in ZIP Code order to achieve optimum performance.

    SmallMemEnh This feature enhances the small memory model only. To turn on the small memory model, specify configuration variable NCOA Use High Memory = 0. To turn on the small memory model enhancement, you must also specify SmallMemEnh=1. The small memory model enhancement may provide a performance gain when running in small memory model if your list is sorted in ZIP Code order. If your list is sorted in ZIP Code order and there are a large number of records within the same ZIP Code segment (first two digits of the ZIP Code), you can use the small memory model enhancement to have VeriMove load an entire segment into memory and perform memory lookups for each record. This process may improve performance by not performing an I/O lookup on disk for each record.

    Specify whether to use the small memory model enhancement:

    0
    Do not use the small memory model enhancement. The default value is 0.
    1
    Use the small memory model enhancement for a potential performance enhancement.
    Note: To use the small memory model, specify configuration variable NCOA Use High Memory = 0.

    It is recommended that you sort your list(s) in ZIP Code order to achieve optimum performance.

    NCOA Use Flat Single Specifies whether to use a single (vs. 26 A-Z) flat file database.
    0
    Use the 26 flat file A-Z database.
    1
    Use the single flat file database.
    NCOA Use Flat Hash Determines whether to use the 26 hash files that are used to do a quick test to see if the full data needs to be looked up. The hash files are not strictly necessary for the operation of the flat file database, since a single lookup is done to get all information. Most tests, however, show that using the flat hash files improves performance.
    0
    Do not use the flat hash files.
    1
    Use the flat hash files (default value).
  13. Load your new or updated database file(s). See VeriMove Databases.
