Managing OSS Files

Using COPYOSS
From the archive files, COPYOSS copies the OSS product files into the OSS file 
system, placing them in locations where you would find them on a typical UNIX 
system—for example, into directories such as /bin, /usr/ucb, and 
/usr/include.
This command completely installs the basic OSS product set and all other products 
that use the same installation subvolume.
•
To load only the Java servlet product files, enter these commands from a TACL 
prompt:
$tsvvol.ZOSSUTL.COPYOSS $tsv1.T0094PAX
tsvvol
is the disk volume where DSM/SCM put your basic OSS product set TSVs.
$tsv1
is the disk volume and subvolume where DSM/SCM put the NonStop Java 
Server TSVs.
T0094PAX
is the pax archive containing the Java servlet files.
See the copyoss(8) reference page either online or in the Open System Services 
Shell and Utilities Reference Manual for more information about command options.
Considerations
•
COPYOSS exists only in the target subvolume used for installation of the basic 
OSS product set. If that subvolume is deleted after installation, your system will not 
have the COPYOSS file. You can save the COPYOSS file to the $SYSTEM disk 
volume if you need to use it again.
•
Do not use COPYOSS unless explicitly told to when DSM/SCM installs and 
maintains OSS product files in your OSS file system (when the DSM/SCM Manage 
OSS Files check box is selected).
•
Files installed by COPYOSS are not always secured in conformance with the best 
practices at your site. You should always resecure files installed by COPYOSS. For 
example, after installing SQL/MX files, you might enter commands such as the 
following to secure the installed software and the directories it uses:
find / -WNOE -WNOG \( -type d -o -type f \) -perm -o+w |
 xargs chmod o-w
chmod a=rwxt /tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /var/preserve
 /usr/tandem/sqlmx/USERMODULES
•
Under rare conditions, the PINSTALL command used by COPYOSS can return an 
error message that indicates a disk file could not be found; this message can be 
ignored when the named file is an empty directory in the corresponding pax
