Managing OSS Files

Installing New Product Files
This set of archive files is large—on the order of tens of megabytes. It is, however, a
temporary group of files. Unless DSM/SCM maintains the OSS files on your node, this
set of files can be deleted after OSS installation is complete; deleting them when
DSM/SCM maintains OSS files can slow down subsequent installations or upgrades
because DSM/SCM will replace them.
The contents of these files must be copied to their proper places in the filesets on your
system by using one of the following:
•
DSM/SCM with the Manage OSS Files maintenance check box selected. This
alternative allows DSM/SCM to maintain product files in your OSS file system and
to perform its normal backout functions for them when necessary. If you do not
select Manage OSS Files, DSM/SCM just installs the files needed to set up the
OSS environment into the TSV.
•
The TACL COPYOSS macro, which automatically runs the Guardian PINSTALL
utility on all the archive files in the subvolume.
•
The PINSTALL utility, which you can run manually for individual archive files.
The use of either COPYOSS or PINSTALL also requires you to use the OSS
Pcleanup utility to remove obsolete files. DSM/SCM does not require Pcleanup. See
Removing Obsolete OSS Files and Directories on page 6-9 for more information.
The considerations for these options differ slightly, as shown in Table 6-1.
