The selection options depend on the objects that are already open:
If no object is open, any object can be opened.
If no SCI is open, IMON implicitly opens the standard SCI when an IDF file, a SOLIS2 delivery or a SYSSII file is opened, i.e. the following editing steps are carried out in the standard SCI.
If an SCI is open, an IDF file, a SOLIS2 delivery or a SYSSII file can be opened, but not another SCI. This function can only be executed if you have the SUBSYSTEM- MANAGEMENT privilege.
The Open option in the File menu is not available if:
an SCI and an IDF file are open
an SCI and a SOLIS2 delivery are open.
an SCI and a SYSSII file are open
The Close option in the File menu closes the last object you opened.
Open: Standard SCI
When you select option number “1”, the standard SCI is opened on the home pubset. For privileged users the SCI is opened with write access, otherwise it is opened for read access only.
All installation units from the standard SCI are displayed in the selection window (see figure 12). You can select installation units for further processing (see "File menu ").
Open: Foreign SCI
When you select option number “2”, a foreign SCI is opened.
You are prompted to enter the file name of the foreign SCI in the following dialog box.

Open: SOLIS2 Delivery
Select option number “4” to open a SOLIS2 delivery. Details of the delivery are entered in the “SOLIS2 delivery” dialog box, which is then displayed.
Note
The dialog box is not output when exactly one delivery (package) was selected for the display of deliveries (set using Select: Filter... Packages (deliveries)), the identifiers of the delivery are known and the delivery medium is handled like a registered medium. In this case the supply units of the registered SOLIS2 delivery are shown directly in the working area.
When you open a SOLIS2 delivery, all the supply units of the SOLIS2 delivery are displayed in the selection window (figure 15) and can be selected for further processing (see "File menu ").
As soon as you open a SOLIS2 delivery, the options Park and Install in the Edit menu and the Print documentation option in the File menu are available so that you can continue to process the delivery or the selected supply units.

| Package name | |
| Package name as stated in the footer of the delivery contents. | |
| User code | |
| User code as stated in the footer of the delivery contents. | |
| Distribution medium | |
| Details of the distribution medium. If 1 (SOLIS2 support) or 2 (Library) is specified here, the supply units that can be installed are determined by the delivery information for the delivery; if 3 (Registered) or 1 (Local support) is specified here, the SCI content determines the supply units that can be installed. | |
1 (SOLIS2 support) | |
| The delivery is located on a data volume shipped with SOLIS2 ( tape cartridge, CD or DVD). The volume serial number (VSN) and the device type can be taken from the delivery information. All supply units of the specified delivery are available for selection. The delivery information is read from MTC nd registered in the SCI. | |
Note | |
If a delivery is already registered in the SCI, a warning is issued and all informations about the delivery and all included supply units are then overwritten. The following effects can be observed:
| |
Volume | |
| VSN of the data volume which contains the delivery. | |
Device type | |
| Device type of the data volume. | |
2 (Library) | |
The delivery is located in a PLAM library under the name SOLFTR.<package-name>.<user-code> under the user ID SYSSAG, where <package-name> and <user-code> are the values of “Package name” and “User code”. The delivery information is read from the library and registered in the SCI. | |
3 (Registered) | |
Read the delivery information, the VSN and the device type of the dddddddd from the open SCI. Files that have already been installed are not read again from the data volume. It is now possible to install the same supply unit for the same system multiple times using the *REGISTERED-MEDIUM functionality (e.g. after deleting a file of the supply unit by mistake). Moreover, the "Installed" status of a supply unit will now be set only in the SCI of the system where the supply unit is effectively installed and no longer in the SCI from where the installation is triggered (where it remains unchanged). Specifying this option results in the installation of:
| |
4 (Local support) | |
| The delivery is located on a data volume created by the customer (tape cartridge or CD-ROM or virtual volume in a CentricStor). The data volume information of the product movement file is ignored. All supply units of the specified delivery are available for selection. The delivery information is read from MTC and registered in the SCI. | |
Note | |
| If a delivery is already registered in the SCI, a warning is issued and all informations about the delivery and all included supply units are then overwritten. The effects are the same as for 1 (SOLIS2 support). | |
| Documentation library | |
| Name of the library in which the delivery documentation will be stored. If you specify 1 (Standard) here, the standard name is used; if you specify 2 (Other), the explicitly entered name is used. If the library already exists, the new delivery documentation is added to it. | |
1 (Standard) | |
| Use the standard name <work-file-location>.<package-name>.DOC, where <package-name> is the value of “Package name” and <work-file-location> is the value of “Work file location”. | |
2 (Other) | |
| Explicit specification of the library name in the “Name” field. | |
Name | |
| Name of the library. | |
| Work file location | |
Specifies the location at which either work files or software are to be buffered (“parked”). The default entry in this field is the path name of the current work file ID setting. If a different work file code is specified, this declaration remains effective until the delivery is closed. Temporary files cannot be specified here. | |
| Reference file | |
| Specifies the location of the reference file, which is to be used as the basis for a configuration check (see section "IMON reference files"). The field is preset with the location of the currently set reference file. | |
| Supply unit selection | Specifies method of supply unit selection |
1 (Manually) | Select manually supply unit |
2 (Automatically) | |
Install all supply units based on configuration. All supply units from delivery will be installed if they are in higher or equal version than already installed in system. If supply unit was not in system, then it's installation will be skipped. | |
Selecting supply units (from the SOLIS2 delivery)
When you open a SOLIS2 delivery, the status bar displays the package name and the user code of the delivery. All supply units of the SOLIS2 delivery are displayed in the selection window. The supply units can be selected for further processing.
