Step 1 |
Before starting anything decide how to implement the modifications. i.e. Are you OK with changing the current production members (load module ISPPREP and panel ISPPREPA) or would it be better implementing them as
separate libraries and leave the IBM members alone?
The pros and cons need to be determined by each individual site. A strong case could be made for installing the fixes into
a couple of user libraries and concatenating them above the IBM supplied libraries containing the members. Or you
could decide to change the IBM modules in the supplied libraries.
It is really a site decision.

Step 2 |
Backup your target files unless you are not hitting the production files. Either way it is always better to be safe
than unemployed! You may also want to backup your SMP/E zones while you are on. Backups never hurt but have been known to
get people out of a jam.

Step 3 |
Download the XMI file from here
|
|
|
| |
|
Step 4 |
File transfer the XMI file downloaded in Step 3 up to the target z/OS system as a binary file. The XMI file must be transferred as a binary file otherwise the file will be corrupt.
|
|
|
| |
|
Step 5 |
Issue the TSO RECEIVE command for the file that was transferred to the target system.
RECEIVE your.uploaded.file.XMI
|
|
|
| |
|
Step 6 |
Unpack the files from the XMI file by executing the UNPACK REXX exec contained in the UNPACK member of the received file.
EX your.received.file(UNPACK)
|
|
|
| |
|
Step 7 |
Follow the install instructions for your chosen method of implementing the change. These are contained in the $$INSTAL member of the received file.
