IMON-BAS
The treatment of POSIX files has been enhanced.
- New item type for POSIX based products (*NP):
The item type *NP is a combination of the item types *PS and *NW. It has been introduced for products for which the deinstallation in POSIX must be run with the old installation libraries (“SINLIBs”) also for the same main version.
As for the type *PS, the type *NP describes the POSIX-satellites that can be deinstalled and installed automatically in the frame of the IMON installation in POSIX (via “POSIX Processing”).
The processing of the item types *PS and *NP differs only when the main version of the updated product remains the same.
In this case the following steps are schematically processed for *NP items:
1. Creation of the new product files (“SINLIB”) with the suffix .NEW
2. POSIX package deinstallation on basis of the old product files
3. Copy of the .NEW files on the files without suffix
4. POSIX package installation on basis of the new product files
In contrast the deinstallation of *PS items for same main version is run on basis of the new product files.
- New values for POSIX processing parameter
"POSIX processing" now offers the new options "ALL" and "BY-CONFIGURATION-FILE" in addition to existing ones YES and NO.
This choice will determine further processing:
- NO=
no POSIX installation (as it is today)
- ALL=
POSIX installation for all POSIX products inside the delivered package (*PS and *NP), no matter whether they are already registered to $SYSROOT.POSIX.CONFIGURATION or not.
- YES=
as ALL (for compatibility reasons)
- BY-CONFIGURATION-FILE=
POSIX installation only for those POSIX products inside the delivered package (*PS and *NP), which are already registered to $SYSROOT.POSIX.CONFIGURATION.
The default value is BY-CONFIGURATION-FILE for products which contain POSIX installation items (i.e. with item type *PS or *NP). Products that are not yet installed in POSIX (with the same or other main version) are therefore not installed in POSIX per default.
It is recommended to select the specific products to install according to the needs and to install them e.g. in the guided dialog of the POSIX installation program.
A first installation can also be forced per supply unit by changing the default to “ALL”. However the file $SYSROOT.IMON.ACTIONS.ADD then contains all the POSIX packages of the supply unit.
If not all the packages must be installed in POSIX, they can be explicitly removed with EDT from the ADD file after the run of the IMON installation procedures (removal of the corresponding line).
- Install BY-CONFIGURATION
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.
- The meaning of "version" in the SDF statements and in the FHS masks was changed in IMON.
Instead of the OSD version, the BS2000 version is now used in all instructions. Entering the previously used OSD versions is supported in a compatible manner.
Overview of the corresponding version names:
OSD version | BS2000 version |
10.0 | 19.0 |
11.0 | 20.0 |
- | 21.0 |
