Step 4. Run the z/OS Installation Assistant to Apply a HotFix

Step 4. Run the z/OS Installation Assistant to Apply a HotFix

When you apply a hotfix, the z/OS Installation Assistant transfers changed software library binary files to the hotfix BINLIB library and transfers new and changed RUNLIB members to the hotfix RUNLIB library.
In the z/OS Installation Assistant, click
Save
 on any page to save your entries to the InstParm file.
You must run the z/OS Installation Assistant on a 64-bit Windows system. If you attempt to run the wizard on a 32-bit system, the installation fails.
Retain the InstParm file that the z/OS Installation Assistant creates on Windows so that you can use it to upgrade or apply hotfixes to PowerExchange later.
  1. In the pwx_mvs_hotfix directory, right-click
    MVS_Install.exe
     and select
    Run as administrator
    .
    The z/OS Installation Assistant starts.
  2. Select
    HotFix Install
     and click
    Next
    .
    The
    HotFix Install
     page appears. For more information, see HotFix Install Page.
  3. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Global Parameters
     page appears.
  4. Review the global parameters.
    For more information, see Global Parameters Page (HotFix).
    The
    Data Set Group Details
     page appears.
  5. Enter the high-level qualifier (HLQ) for the hotfix.
    For more information, see Data Set Group Details Page (HotFix).
    The
    Create Runlib JCL
     page appears.
  6. Enter information about the RUNLIB and BINLIB libraries for the hotfix. Verify that these data set names do not match the data set names in the current PowerExchange environment. For more information, see Create Runlib JCL Page.
    Then, click
    Next
    .
    The
    Transfer Files to Mainframe
     page appears. Also, the z/OS Installation Assistant creates the PXRunlib folder. This folder contains the files from the prunlib folder, which are customized with the values that you entered in the z/OS Installation Assistant.
  7. On the
    Transfer Files to Mainframe
     page, enter information about the z/OS system to which to transfer files.
    For more information, see Transfer Files to Mainframe Page.
    Then, click
    Next
    .
    The
    View File Transfer Status
     page displays the status of the file transfer operation.
  8. After the file transfer completes, click
    OK
    .
  9. Click
    Finish
    .
    The z/OS Installation Assistant saves your installation entries to the InstParm file in the root installation directory on Windows if you have not already done so. The z/OS Installation Assistant also creates a corresponding INPARM
    nn
     file in the XRunlib directory on Windows and uses FTP to transfer this file to the RUNLIB library on z/OS. The INPARM
    nn
     member in the RUNLIB that has the largest
    nn
     value is the most recent version of the member.
After running the z/OS Installation Assistant, you must manually submit at least the PRESTLIB job on the z/OS system.
