Installing New Product Files
Beginning with the G06.18 release version update (RVU), you have two possible 
methods of installing new product files into the OSS file system:
•
You can use a D46 or newer software product revision (SPR) of the Distributed 
Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM). This is the 
recommended method for all DSM/SCM-enabled products (products that have an 
A7CINFO file associated with them).
•
You can use the two utilities that come with the basic OSS products:
°
The COPYOSS TACL macro 
°
The PINSTALL utility
Both of these utilities provide the equivalent of a UNIX pax utility in the Guardian 
environment. (COPYOSS uses PINSTALL.)
Most OSS product files are distributed in pax archive form (ustar format) on the 
$tsvvol.ZOSSUTL subvolume, where tsvvol is the disk volume where DSM/SCM 
puts your target subvolumes (TSVs). Each product archive contains one or more files 
with predetermined OSS pathnames.
