Installing the server on z/OS

To install the Rational® Programming Patterns v9.6.2 server on z/OS®, you must install the appropriate FMID (Jena or SQL) on the server that is already installed.

Procedure

  1. Access the files that are required to install the Rational Programming Patterns server on z/OS. To do so, download its electronic image from the IBM® Passport Advantage® website (https://www-01.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage) and extract all the compressed files.
    Two electronic images are available. They correspond to the two technologies that can be used to install the server. You choose the technology according to the Rational Team Concert™ version.
    • You must install the Jena version if the Rational Team Concert version is lower than 6.0.3. Its FMID is HAKF962.
    • You must install the SQL version if the Rational Team Concert version is greater than or equal to 6.0.3. Its FMID is HAL3962.
    Note: You can also download a trial version of the installation image from the IBM DeveloperWorks website (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/r/rppz/) and extract all the compressed files.
    The extracted electronic image of each FMID contains the following elements:
    • A docs directory, with the relevant documentation.

      This directory contains the installation guides (Program Directories): HAKF962.pdf for Jena and HAL3962.pdf for SQL. They contain all the instructions to install the Rational Programming Patterns server on z/OS, through SMP/E.

    • A zos directory that contains compressed files for the installation through SMP/E: HAKF962.zip for Jena and HAL3962.zip for SQL. Each of these files contains the installable parts of the FMID.
  2. Follow the instructions of the appropriate Program Directory in the docs directory.
  3. In z/OS, parametrize and run the BRPCPCCM JCL to copy the rpp-profile.ini file to the directory that will contain all the applications customized configuration files.

    The BLZHOME, BLZCONF, and BLZWORK parameters must be identical to those of the BLZCPCCM JCL.

  4. Run the repotools -addTables command. See the Rational Team Concert help for explanations on this command.
