Installation by using the installation command

This section explains how to install HULFT by using the installation command (HULSETUP).

(1) Installation command (HULSETUP)

The installation command (HULSETUP) is a tool to make the installation of HULFT simpler.

When you interactively enter information needed for installation, installation JCLs are generated based on the entered information.

Because you can install HULFT by just executing the generated installation JCLs in order, performing the installation procedure is easy.

= Remarks =
  • You can only use the installation command for a new installation.

  • When you change the default values of the system file (VSAM) capacity to suit the environment, you must edit the installation JCL that you generated by using the installation command.

An overview of the installation of HULFT by using the installation command is illustrated below.

Figure 3.2 Installation of HULFT by using installation command

1) Restoration of the HULFT load module library

Use the IEBCOPY program to restore the HULFT load module library (HULFT.V8.LOAD) for HULFT installation files restored from the media provided in Procedure for restoration from the provided media to the HULFT load module library (HULFT.LOAD) in the installation destination.

2) Execution of the installation command (HULSETUP) and generation of the installation JCLs

Enter the information necessary for the installation of HULFT in interactive mode.

A JCL is generated for execution of the Installation JCL Generator (XRJCLGEN).

Execute the JCL for execution of the Installation JCL Generator (XRJCLGEN) and generate the installation JCLs to be used for the installation of HULFT.

3) Restoration by executing the installation JCLs

Execute the installation JCLs to restore the HULFT installation files to the library in the installation destination.

 

For details about the installation procedure when using the installation command, refer to (2) Procedure for the installation by using the installation command.

(2) Procedure for the installation by using the installation command

For an installation by using the installation command, you must perform the following two procedures.

  • Procedure for installation by using the installation command and installation JCLs

  • Procedure for configuring the environment to be used by HULFT

To install HULFT by using the installation command, you must perform both the above procedures.

This section shows the steps of each procedure and the manual references for installing HULFT by using the installation command.

Procedure for installation by using the installation command and installation JCLs

For the differences in the procedure when not using the installation command and the installation JCLs, check the references before you install HULT.

Carry out the following steps.
