Step 3. Prepare the z/OS Components on Windows for an Upgrade

PowerExchange for z/OS is shipped as a self-extracting executable. Extract the upgrade files into a temporary directory on your Windows system.
  1. From a Windows command prompt, make a temporary directory to extract the upgrade files into. For example, you might run the following command to make a temporary directory named pwx_mvs_v
    vrm
    :
    mkdir pwx_mvs_v
    vrm
    The
    vrm
    variable is the PowerExchange
    version
    .
    release
    .
    modification
    number.
  2. Find and run the product upgrade executable.
    The executable has a name such as:
    pwxos26_V
    vrm
    .exe
    The
    vrm
    is the PowerExchange
    version
    .
    release
    .
    modification
    number. For example, pwxos26_v961.exe is the name of the executable for the PowerExchange version 9.6.1 installation on z/OS.
