Extracting the compressed file for installation on z/OS

For z/OS® platform, install the IMS™ Java™ On Demand features that are included in IMS, or extract the z/OS TAR file that you download from the IMS TM Resource Adapter Web site.

About this task

If you install the IMS Java On Demand features that are included in IMS, SMP/E installation instructions are in the Program Directory for Information Management System (IMS) Transaction and Database Servers.

If you download the z/OS TAR file from the IMS TM Resource Adapter Web site, to install the IMS TM resource adapter:

Procedure

  1. Transfer the downloaded TAR file to a z/OS HFS in binary mode.
  2. Use the tar program to extract the contents of the TAR file to a target installation directory. For example:
    tar -xvf icoxxxx.tar 

Results

Successful extraction and installation, either by using the SMP/E process or by manually expanding the contents of the downloaded TAR file, places the files in install_path/Vxxxx where install_path is /usr/lpp/ims/icoxxx. Vxxxx is the IMS TM resource adapter version number of the TAR file that you extracted the files from, or the APAR or PTF that is used for the installation.

What to do next

Proceed to verify the extracted directory structure and file contents.
