The majority of the non standard installation options get through the different dialog boxes may be defined in the parameter file for default installation parameters and passed to IMON at installation time.
This parameter file (default name is $TSOS.SYSPAR.IMON.LAST) can be produced by the customer itself using any standard editor (e.g. EDT) or may be be produced automatically by IMON at installation time when using the FHS interface.
This file is used by IMON (on user request) to assign to the *STD keyword of the //INSTALL-UNITS statement (or to prefill the associated input fileds in the FHS interface) default values either defined/modified by the customer or saved by IMON from the last performed installation. Irrespective of this, IMON always evaluates the customer-specific
IMON parameter file $SYSPAR.IMON.<kkz> which optionally exists (see section "IMON parameter file for optional installation functions"). If the entries are identical, IMON uses the values from the parameter file for default installation parameters.
Structure of the parameter file
*** IMON INSTALLATION PARAMETERS *** (mandatory identification line) PVS-INFO= <catid 1..4> <defluid 1..8/*STD> <S/R/P/A> <Y/N> ————————————— (1) OLD-FILE-SAVING= N/L/M <devtype> <maren loc> —————————————————————————— (2) UNDO-PREPARATION= N/Y PRINT-LOG-FILES= Y/N CONFIGURATION-CHECK= Y/N WORK-FILE-DELETING= Y/N MIP-PROCESSING= Y/N SDF-PROCESSING= Y/N POSIX-PROCESSING= C/A/Y/N DSSM-PROCESSING= N/Y <catalogname/*STD> ———————————————————————————————— (3) RMS-PROCESSING= N/Y <depot-loc./*STD>/D <depot-loc./*STD> —————————————— (4) SU-INFO= <name> <vers/*ALL> <catid/*DEF> <userid/*STD> <pref/*NONE> <Y/N> (5)
(1) 1 line per target system with catid, defluid value, HW variant, all items to install | |
(2) no file saving, or with LMS, or with MAREN (with specification of the device type and the MAREN location) | |
(3) <dssm catalog name> = <filename 1..48-without-catid>, *STD means $TSOS.SYS.SSD.CAT.X | |
(4) <depot-loc.> = [:catid:]$.userid, *STD = :<catid of target system>.$TSOS | |
(5) 1 line per supply unit with SU name, main version or *ALL, delivery installation pubset, installation userid, installation prefix, keep old version in DSSM or not. |
Observe the following rules:
All lines are optional (except the first one) but when IMON creates the parameter file, it will fill and write all lines.
New SU-INFO line will be always written with version = *ALL
Any unknown keyword is ignored without any message
All keywords must start on first column
No blank must stay between the keyword and the “=” sign but at least one blank must be used after this “=” and as separator between different values for a same keyword.
Any duplicate keyword will overwrite infor from a previous one without any message.
All entered values will be syntactically and semantically validated.
A first occured error, the validation will stop with an error message indicating the line number where the error occured.
