Build the New Revision
After you have created a new software revision, prepare to install it on your target systems by
building it into an executable form:
1. In the New software revision dialog box, click Build/Apply to list options for your Build/Apply.
The Build/Apply Request dialog box appears with all selections dimmed and unavailable.
In a few minutes, the dialog box is refreshed with defaults selected.
2. Select Build (if not connected to an Expand network) or Build, apply & process snapshot (if
connected to an Expand network).
3. Include in the activation package either only changed files or all files. If you are installing an
SPR, you can select changed files.
4. In the Activation SYSnn: box, enter the current SYSnn (if no SYSGEN is required) or the new
SYSnn (if SYSGEN is required).
NOTE: If the Build/Apply Request dialog box informs you that SYSGEN is required, check
that the spooler is active and not 100 percent full before executing the Build/Apply request.
At a TACL prompt, start SPOOLCOM and issue a COLLECT, STATUS command.
5. Select Scheduling, Output, SYSGEN, TSV Location, and File Placement options and configure
as appropriate for your system. See the DSM/SCM User’s Guide or online help (Building and
Applying a New Configuration topic) for more information about these Build/Apply Request
options.
6. In the Build/Apply Request dialog box, click OK.
7. When the Status window indicates that the request is done, select Window >Refresh.
This step updates the Software in Archive window to show the newly received software.
8. Exit the DSM/SCM Planner Interface.

1. Make sure that spooler is active.
2. On the DSM/SCM subvolume, enter:
RUN ZPHITI
The TI Logon screen appears.
3. Enter your user ID/alias and password and press F1 to log on to the Target Interface.
The Main Menu appears.
4. Enter 3 (Perform target activities) in the Selection number field and press F1.
The Target Menu - Select Target screen appears.
5. In the Selection number field, enter the number corresponding to the logical target on which
the new software was applied and press F1.
The Target Menu - Select Action screen appears.
6. In the Selection number field, enter 3 (Review operator instructions for the last apply completed)
and press F1 to display the operator instructions.
7. Enter a printer location in the Print operator instructions field and press F9 to print the operator
instructions.
