Updating the server on z/OS

To update the Rational® Programming Patterns server that is installed on z/OS®, you must apply the PTF that is available with the fix.

Procedure

  1. Allocate host data sets for the fix
    A sequential data set must be allocated on z/OS to receive the fix that you will upload from your workstation. You can do it by submitting the job below. Add a job card and modify the parameters to meet requirements of your site before you submit it.
    Note: The following code contains the generic values HXXXXXX and UXXXXXX. You must replace them with the actual values that are available on the support website
    //ALLOC    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
    //*
    //UXXXXXX    DD DSN=hlq.IBM.HXXXXXX.UXXXXXX,
    //            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
    //            DSORG=PS,
    //            RECFM=FB,
    //            LRECL=80,
    //            UNIT=SYSALLDA,
    //*            VOL=SER=volser,
    //*            BLKSIZE=6160,
    //            SPACE=(TRK,(103,20))
    //*
  2. Upload the fix from your workstation to z/OS
    Upload the file in binary format from your workstation to the z/OS data set. On a Windows system, you can use FTP from a command line to upload the file. The table shows the commands that are entered by the user, and the values that are assumed.
    User enters: Values
    mvsaddr TCP/IP address of the z/OS system
    tsouid TSO user ID
    tsopw TSO password
    d: Drive that contains the fix files
    hlq High-level qualifier that you used for the data set that you allocated in the job above
    C:\>ftp mvsaddr
    Connected to mvsaddr.
    220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS %version% at mvsaddr, %time% on %date%.
    220 Connection will close if idle for more than 60 minutes.
     
    User (mvsaddr:(none)): tsouid
    331 Send password please.
     
    Password: tsopw
    230 tsouid is logged on.  Working directory is "tsouid.".
     
    ftp> cd ..
    250 "" is the working directory name prefix.
     
    ftp> cd hlq
    250 "hlq." is the working directory name prefix.
     
    ftp> binary
    200 Representation type is Image
     
    ftp> put d:\IBM.HXXXXXX.UXXXXXX
    200 Port request OK.
    125 Storing data set hlq.IBM.HXXXXXX.UXXXXXX
    250 Transfer completed successfully
    5744800 bytes sent in 0.28 seconds
     
    ftp> quit
    221 Quit command received. Goodbye.
  3. Perform SMP/E RECEIVE and APPLY for the fix
  4. Parameterize and run the BRPCPCCM JCL that is supplied in hlq.IBM.HXXXXXX.F1 to copy the rpp-profile.ini file into BLZCONF.

    The BLZHOME, BLZCONF, and BLZWORK parameters must be identical to those of the BLZCPCCM JCL.
