The installation of POSIX and POSIX products involves two steps:
Installation in BS2000 using the IMON/SOLIS procedure.
The SOLIS delivery is installed in BS2000 using IMON. This updates, among other things, the subsystem catalog and the Software Configuration Inventory (SCI). This manual does not go into any further detail on installation under BS2000.
The programs are not yet executable when they have been installed in BS2000. They must be installed in the POSIX file system with the following second step.
Installation in the POSIX file system.
A separate POSIX installation program is available for installation in POSIX. This is started with the command /START-POSIX-INSTALLATION. The POSIX installation program can be called in interactive or batch mode (i.e. controlled using a parameter file).
When installing in POSIX, the SCI can optionally be evaluated (see the section “The installation program in conjunction with IMON”).
This section of the chapter goes into further detail on the following areas of POSIX installation:
the most important features of the POSIX installation program
the format of the program packages
installing with IMON support
multimode installation, i.e simultaneous installation for several platforms (/390, X86)
installing without IMON support
installing private program packages
