Installing Your OSI/MHS Subsystem

Installing OSI/MHS for the First Time

To start a new installation, you run the OSI/MHS installation procedure. This

procedure reads an installation file (such as the ones shown in Example 4-1 and

Example 4-2). The procedure then prompts you for input. The input values you supply

determine the type of installation. At the end of this process, the installation menu

displays your input values and asks you to confirm them. If you need to change

something, you can do so at this point. If you confirm that the values are correct, the

installation of OSI/MHS begins.

Conventions Used in This Description

The remainder of this subsection describes the interaction between you (assuming you

are the installer) and the installation procedure. Commands that you enter are

displayed here in italics. Responses from the system are displayed in boxes.

For all question and answer sequences (including sequences that alter values) in this

section, the default answer is shown in square brackets. For example, a question that

has the response of either y or n is:

Is TMF configured and running? [y]

The default answer is y (or yes). Note that in the responses you enter, yes and y are

equivalent, and no and n are equivalent. You can type your response in uppercase or

lowercase letters. If you do not enter a response but just press the RETURN key, the

default response is used.

For sequences that alter a parameter, the display is similar. For example:

Alter OSI/MHS ISV [$myvol.zosimhs]

The default value is displayed in square brackets. You respond by either entering a

new value, which will be displayed, or by pressing the RETURN key only. If you press

the RETURN key only, the installation procedure accepts the default value.

Starting the Installation Procedure

Before you start the installation procedure, make sure that TMF is installed and

running. If your OSI/MHS subsystem will include message stores, SQL must also be

installed.

To run the installation procedure, enter the following command.

Note. You can stop the installation procedure at any time. To stop installation, type EXIT and

press the RETURN key.
