There are aspects of the installation process that are not handled by ISETUP. These are detailed in this document and require manual intervention.

ISETUP asks you for the high-level qualifier for your WebFOCUS Reporting Server data sets. Based on this qualifier and a list of all of the standard data set names (low-level qualifiers), ISETUP installs all the necessary WebFOCUS Reporting Server libraries.

About the ISETUP Procedure

The ISETUP procedure is an interactive process that uses ISPF panels.

Important: You must use the version of ISETUP that comes with your WebFOCUS Reporting Server release to install WebFOCUS Reporting Server.

Installing without the use of ISETUP is no longer supported. Additionally, you cannot use previous versions of your installatio JCL to install Release 1.0.8.

You must run ISETUP from the ISPF command shell.

You should not use ISETUP to overwrite your current production WebFOCUS Reporting Server data sets with new versions.
