2-12 BIM-EPIC Installation and System Guide
Creating BIM-EPIC System Components
BIM-EPIC is distributed on a magnetic tape or cartridge and is installed using the VSE
Maintain System History Program (MSHP). The file content of the tape volume is as follows:
• File 1: Installation program and dialog
• File 2: Null file (tapemark)
•
File 3: Header File
• File 4: History File
• File 5: BIM-EPIC Production Sublibrary
•
File 6: Null file (tapemark)
• File 7: EOB (end of BACKUP information)
• File 8: Null file (tapemark)
• File 9: Null file (tapemark)
The BIM-EPIC Installation dialog asks you for site–specific information, installation options
and desired optional components. Prior completion of the Pre-Installation Worksheet makes
the installation process much easier.
BIM-EPIC can be executed from private or system libraries. We strongly recommend
installing BIM-EPIC into a private sublibrary. The library structure can be either VSAM or
BAM.
MSHP is used to install BIM-EPIC into its libraries. We strongly recommend using MSHP in
conjunction with a separate private history file. BIM-EPIC APARs are distributed in MSHP
CORRECTS format only and a history file is required to apply them.
Step Action
1
As with any new software installation, back up your target libraries first.
2 Mount the BIM-EPIC distribution tape. From the VSE console, type:
PSTART RDR,
cuu
where cuu is the address of the tape drive on which the distribution tape has been
mounted. A job named EPICINST is loaded into the POWER reader queue with
CLASS=0. If EPICINST does not execute automatically, alter the POWER job
class to allow EPICINST to execute in a partition where the Linkage Editor can be
run.
If you do not have POWER on your system, contact BIM-EPIC Technical Support
for special installation instructions.
3 Follow the instructions on the operator console. Use the entries on your Pre-
Installation Worksheet to assist you.
4
After the installation job is complete, dismount the distribution tape and save it.
