Program packages for installation under POSIX, for the software supplied by Fujitsu, are delivered as BS2000 PLAM libraries with the default name
<prefix>LIB.<product>.<version>.<package>
and read in under a freely selectable archive ID.
Program packages can be installed optionally from the Software Configuration Inventory (i.e. following the official delivery procedure with IMON support, see the section “The installation program in conjunction with IMON”) or from any archive ID, see the section “Installing a product without IMON support”. This also applies to private program packages, see the section “Preparing private program packages for installation”, e.g. private POSIX applications, as these can also be registered in the Software Configuration Inventory. Multiple installation allows more than one version of a product or correction status to be installed on POSIX.
Prefixes for different platforms
PLAM libraries with different prefixes are supplied for different platforms.
Prefix SIN or SYS(*) for the /390 platform
- Prefix SKU or SKM(*) for the X86 platform
(*) These prefixes only apply to SOCKETS and NSL.
Installation scripts
PLAM libraries contain installation scripts which usually carry out the following actions, during installation with the POSIX installation program:
Creating directories in POSIX file systems
Copying text files (parameters, scripts, ...) into POSIX file systems
Creating links to executable objects (LLMs) in the PLAM library
Copying executable objects (LLMs) into POSIX file systems
Executing ksh scripts for more complex processing
The products supplied by Fujitsu contain appropriate installation scripts.
If you wish to install third-party products or your own program packages in POSIX, you must make further adjustments and if necessary create your own installation scripts, see the section “Preparing private program packages for installation”.
