Step 3. Run the z/OS Installation Assistant for a Full Installation

To perform a full installation of PowerExchange, you must run the z/OS Installation Assistant wizard on a 64-bit Windows system.

If you do not have an existing INSTPARM file from a previous installation, the z/OS Installation Assistant initially creates an INSTPARM file that contains only the default values. The z/OS Installation Assistant updates this InstParm file with your entries. As you progress through the z/OS Installation Assistant pages, you can save your entries to the InstParm file by clicking

Save

on any page.

The z/OS Installation Assistant also creates a corresponding INPARMnn file in an XRunlib directory on the Windows system, where nn is a two-digit number from 00 to 99. Each time you run the z/OS Installation Assistant, it creates another INPARMnn file with an nn value that is incremented by 1. After nn reaches 99, the z/OS Installation Assistant starts over at 00, creating INPARM00. When you complete the z/OS Installation Assistant, the INPARMnn file is transferred to the RUNLIB library on the z/OS system.

Retain the customized InstParm file so that you can use it to upgrade PowerExchange or apply hotfixes later.

On some z/OS Installation Assistant pages, you can click

Advanced Parms

to define advanced parameters or click

Restore Defaults

to restore the default values. However, if you define advanced parameters, you cannot use the

Restore Defaults

button to restore the default values later.

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.

In the temporary directory to which you extracted the z/OS installation files (the "pwx_mvs" directory in the preceding topic), right-click MVS_Install.exe
and select

Run as administrator

The z/OS Installation Assistant starts:

Select

Full Install

, and click

If you are performing a new installation and an InstParm file does not yet exist, a message indicates that the file will be created with default values. Click

to create the InstParm file on the Windows system.

On the

Full Install

page, click

The

Select Global Parameters

page appears:

Enter the default data set high-level qualifier and default storage settings.

For more information, see Select Global Parameters Page (Full Installation).

Then, click

The

Select Data Set Group Details

page appears and is populated with the information that you entered:

Enter the high-level qualifier (HLQ), volume, unit, and storage management subsystem (SMS) information for each data set group.

For more information, see Select Data Set Group Details Page.

Then, click

The

Select General Parameters

page appears:

Enter the general parameters.

For more information, see General Parameters Page.

Then, click

The

Select Data Sources

page appears:

Select one or more data sources for bulk data movement and CDC operations.

To select a CDC data source, first select the data source type for bulk data movement to the left.

For more information, see Data Sources Page.

Then, click

If you selected a CDC data source, the

Select CDC Common Parameters

page appears.

Enter common parameters for CDC operations.

For more information, see CDC Common Parameters Page.

Then, click

Enter parameter settings for each data source that you selected on the

Data Sources

page.

The following table lists the parameters page for each data source type:

Page	Reference
Adabas Parameters	Adabas Parameters Page
Datacom Parameters	Datacom Parameters Page
DB2 Parameters	DB2 Parameters Page
DB2 CDC Parameters	DB2 CDC Parameters Page
IDMS Parameters	IDMS Parameters Page
IDMS CDC Parameters	IDMS CDC Parameters Page
IMS Parameters	IMS Parameters Page
IMS CDC Parameters	IMS CDC Parameters Page
MQ Series Parameters	MQ Series Parameters Page
VSAM Parameters	VSAM Parameters Page

If you selected multiple data source types, click

to proceed to the next page.

When you click

on the last parameters page, the

Create Runlib JCL

page appears:

Enter information about the RUNLIB and BINLIB libraries.

For more information, see Create Runlib JCL Page.

Then, click

The

Transfer Files to Mainframe

page appears:

Also, the z/OS Installation Assistant creates the XRunlib folder. This folder contains the files from the runlib folder. The z/OS Installation Assistant customizes these files with the values that you entered.

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

The

View File Transfer Status

page displays the status of the file transfer operation. For more information, see View File Transfer Status Page.

After the file transfer completes, click

If the file transfer fails for any reason, you can use FTP locally to manually transfer the files to members in the pre-allocated BINLIB and RUNLIB data sets on z/OS. See Manually Transferring Installer-Generated Files to the BINLIB and RUNLIB Members on z/OS.

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 INPARMnn file in the XRunlib directory on Windows and uses FTP to transfer this file to the RUNLIB library on z/OS. The INPARMnn member in the RUNLIB that has the largest nn value is the most recent version of the member.
