Before You Begin
Before installing NetBatch-Plus software:
1. Read this section to familiarize yourself with the installation process.
2. Make sure your system’s hardware, firmware, and software satisfy the installation 
prerequisites for NetBatch-Plus software (see Table 2-1).
3. If you are replacing superseded NetBatch-Plus software on your system:
a. Shut down the NetBatch-Plus Pathway system. 
b. Back up any existing NetBatch-Plus data files. For a list of data files, see 
Appendix A, File Descriptions and Locations. 
c. Make sure you have purge access to existing NetBatch-Plus objects, 
dictionaries, or Enform files.
Transferring SUT Files
After you complete the preliminary steps, transfer NetBatch-Plus software files from the 
SUT. To transfer the files, run DSM/SCM. For a full description DSM/SCM’s features 
and functions and for detailed usage guidelines, see the DSM/SCM User’s Guide.
During execution, DSM/SCM:
•
Copies files from the SUT to your system’s distribution subvolume (DSV). The 
NetBatch-Plus DSV is $volume.R9189Xnn, where volume is the volume specified
