Import Existing Parameters Page

Import Existing Parameters Page

When you perform an upgrade, you can import parameters from the customized InstParm file in the current PowerExchange installation directory on Windows to the default InstParm file in the upgrade installation directory. By importing the parameters, you retain the customizations that you last entered. Do not import the existing InstParm parameters if you manually copied the InstParm file from the current installation directory to the new upgrade installation directory.
If the customized InstParm file is not available on Windows, retrieve the latest INPARM
nn
 member from the RUNLIB library on the z/OS system by using FTP or another file transfer method. The latest INPARM
nn
 member has the highest
nn
 number in its name. Also, in INPARM
nn
 members that were created in PowerExchange 10.1 and later, the first line of the contents provides the date and time at which the member was created.
Existing Version
The version of the current PowerExchange installation from which you are importing the InstParm file.
The upgrade jobs append this version to the end of the high-level qualifier for the backup data sets in the following format: 
.V
version
This setting corresponds to the <fromversion> variable in the INSTPARM file.
Upgrade Version
The PowerExchange version to which you are upgrading.
Import Existing Parameters
To import parameters from the existing InstParm file that includes your latest customizations to the new upgrade installation directory, complete the following steps:
  1. Click
    Import Existing Parameters
    .
    A dialog box appears.
  2. Browse to the location of the customized InstParm file in the top-level installation directory of the current PowerExchange version.
    The customized InstParm file can have a name other than InstParm.
  3. Click
    OK
    .
    The z/OS Installation Assistant imports the parameters from the customized InstParm file and stores them in the new InstParm file in the upgrade installation directory.
