Performing an Upgrade on z/OS

Performing an Upgrade on z/OS

To upgrade PowerExchange for z/OS, run the z/OS Installation Assistant.
The z/OS Installation Assistant upgrades the message, sample, and load libraries. The z/OS Installation Assistant does not create new operational data libraries, such as those containing data maps, capture registrations, extraction maps, and captured change data. As a result, you do not need to migrate the contents of these data sets to the newly allocated data sets, which simplifies the upgrade process.
When you upgrade, you have the option to use new data set names or existing data set names, as follows:
  • To add new data sources to an existing PowerExchange environment and use new data set names for the message, sample, and load libraries, select the
    Upgrade by Using New Data Set Names
     option on the
    Upgrade to a New Release
     page.
  • To use the same data set names as the existing installation for the message, sample, and load libraries, select the
    Upgrade by Using Existing Data Set Names
     option on the
    Upgrade to a New Release
     page.
When you run the z/OS Installation Assistant, it creates several jobs on the z/OS system. To complete the upgrade, submit these jobs.
An upgrade does not create a complete PowerExchange environment. To run the new PowerExchange release concurrently with an existing PowerExchange release, you must complete a full installation.
For a PowerExchange CDC environment, Informatica recommends that you upgrade to prevent potential loss of captured change data.
