Product installation using IMON V3.4 is possible with BS2000 V21.0 or later.
Prerequisites for the supply unit to be installed can be found in the accompanying documentation.
The pubset that is to be the basis for the installation must be imported into the system.
Target system
The target system is the system on which the software product will run. This could be the most recent BS2000 version (installation on the home pubset) or another BS2000 version (installation on the imported pubset).
Identifiers required
Various user IDs (see below) are used during the installation. They must be set up already and have sufficient memory space. The number of PAM pages supplied is detailed in the supply information.
Work file ID
All files that are needed temporarily in order to install the software are stored under this user ID. This includes files that are part of the delivery as well as files that are generated by IMON during installation.
The default is the user ID SYSSAG. This is also required when the product is distributed via file transfer.
The IMON options can also be used to define a different user ID or an additional file name prefix.
If the SYSSAG user ID is not set up, the TSOS user ID and the IMON file name prefix are assumed.
IMON automatically deletes some of the work files after installation.
As the SYSSAG work ID is not required in normal BS2000 operation, the default pubset of this ID can also be a switchable pubset. However, during parking and installation exclusive access of the system to the default pubset of the work ID must be guaranteed.
Installation ID
The files of the software to be installed are stored on the system under this user ID (see "Placement - specifying the definitive depot location" (Installation preparation )).
The installation ID is thus part of the path name under which the installation items are registered in the SCI.
Park ID (is only required if the delivery is to be parked)
All files of the software to be installed later that are contained on the distribution medium are transferred to this user ID.
The files can be deleted automatically by IMON after a successful installation procedure. The automatic deletion option can be deactivated if you intend to carry out another installation. The files then remain under the park ID for other installations.
[:<catid>:]$[<userid>]
<catid>
refers to the catalog ID of the pubset on which the software is parked. If no catalog ID is specified, the software is parked on the default pubset of the specific park ID.
<userid>
refers to the park ID. The character string $. refers to the system default ID (DEFLUID system parameter).
System privileges
The SUBSYSTEM-MANAGEMENT and USER-ADMINISTRATION privileges are needed for parking and installing the product. Moreover, you should work under the user ID TSOS as some privileged function calls are required (e.g. to store files under other user IDs).
Private software
IMON supports the installation of software that was delivered by Fujitsu Technology Solutions using the SOLIS2 supply system. Private software cannot be installed using IMON, however the supply components can be registered and administered in the SCI. The registration of private software is dealt with in detail in the section "Administering installation units".
Language setting for the FHS interface
The FHS menu interface is available in English and German on data display terminals of the 3270, 9750, 9755, 9763, 8160 and equivalent types.
You can select either of the languages, and the setting is made in either a task-specific or user-specific manner. (The language can naturally also be set for the entire system using the MSGLPRI system parameter).
Task-specific: MODIFY-MSG-ATTRIBUTES TASK-LANGUAGE={D/E}
User-specific: ADD-USER/MODIFY-USER-ATTR ...,DEFAULT-MSG-LANGUAGE={D/E}
