Uploading the Software

If you acquire the plug-in by downloading it from the TIBCO eDelivery site, you must upload the software to the z/OS MVS host with IBM’s FTP file-transfer utility.

Procedure

  1. Use FTP to copy the plug-in's initial installation file from a LAN server or PC to the z/OS MVS host.
    The following is sample JCL, which contains the statements required for the file transfer: 
    //#JOBNAME JOB (&SYSUID),'BWCP FTP',CLASS=A
//*
// SET FTPADDR=10.10.2.99 < IP Address or Host Name
//*
//FTP EXEC PGM=FTP,REGION=0M,PARM='&FTPADDR (TIMEOUT 20'
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTCPD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TCPIP.PROFILE(FTPDATA) < Host Member
//INPUT DD *
lan-userid
lan-password
cd /lan-file-dir
binary
LOCSITE RECFM=FB LRECL=80 BLKSIZE=27920 CYL PRI=2 SEC=1
get srvhlq.sxn.xmit.inst 'USERHLQ.XMIT.INST' (REPLACE
quit
/*
//
  2. Receive the initial installation file.
    Note: Always perform this step during the plug-in MVS component initial installation on an MVS host.
    The USERHLQ.XMIT.INST file contains the JCL required for receiving other files and for creating the appropriate libraries for the plug-in MVS component. To complete this process, substitute the appropriate site-specific user values for the TIBCO-supplied variables.
    1. In the ISPF Command Shell Panel, run the following command to receive a file that contains the JCL required to begin a first-time installation: 
      receive inda('USERHLQ.XMIT.INST')

      TSO prompts with the following message: 

      INMR906A Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +
    2. Supply the following information:
      DA('USERHLQ.INSTALL')

      After a successful reception, the following message is displayed: 

      INMR001I Restore successful to dataset 'USERHLQ.INSTALL'
      The dataset name in GUID-1053D06C-FBB9-40FA-AC8E-AB6F9182F125.html#GUID-1053D06C-FBB9-40FA-AC8E-AB6F9182F125__SUBSTEP_2C075034F0C448A3B83CB83C9CB74072 is output and populated with the members that are required for continuing the installation.
