Step 3. Extract the z/OS Installation Files to a Windows System for a HotFix Installation

Step 3. Extract the z/OS Installation Files to a Windows System for a HotFix Installation

PowerExchange for z/OS is shipped as a self-extracting executable. Extract the files to a temporary directory on your Windows system.
  1. From a Windows command prompt, make a temporary directory to extract the hotifx installation files into. For example, you might run the following command to make a temporary directory named pwx_mvs_hotfix: 
    mkdir pwx_mvs_hotfix
  2. Navigate to the self-extracting executable zip file that PowerExchange provides for the hotfix in the patches/mvs directory of the CD image. Then, double-click the zip file.
    The zip file name has the following format: 
    pwx
    vrm
    _hotfix
    n
    _zos.exe
    The
    vrm
     variable is the
    version
    .
    release
    .
    modification
     number and
    n
     is the hotfix number. For the specific file name, see the
    PowerExchange Release Notes
     for the PowerExchange hotfix.
    The
    WinZip Self-Extractor
     dialog box appears.
  3. In the
    WinZip Self-Extractor
     dialog box, click
    Browse
    .
  4. In the
    Browse for Folder
     dialog box, browse to the temporary directory that you created. Then, click
    OK
    .
  5. In the
    WinZip Self-Extractor
     dialog box, click
    Unzip
    .
    The WinZip Self-Extractor places several files in the root directory and creates the pbinary and prunlib subdirectories, which also contain files. The WinZip Self-Extractor then displays a message box to indicate that the files were extracted successfully.
  6. In the message box, click
    OK
    .
  7. In the
    WinZip Self-Extractor
     dialog box, click
    Close
    .
  8. Copy the InstParm file from the current product installation directory on Windows to the temporary directory that you created for the hotfix. The InstParm file contains your customized settings.
