3.3 Prepare the VMSES/E Order for Installation
The IBM Licensed Program Product order can be fulfilled either by physical tape or downloaded from the
internet. In the next step, you will either mount the physical tape or prepare the Product Envelope
delivered via the internet for the installation.
3.3.1 Mount the VMSES/E Tape
A VMSES/E product will be found on a tape labeled z/VM Licensed Program Products. VMSES/E and
Semi-VMSES/E Licensed Program Products can be 'stacked' on the same tape(s). The actual number of
physical tapes depends on the tape density and the install format of the Licensed Products.
To determine the contents of each tape, refer to the tape labels and the Media Report or Packing List.
Match the reference number on the tape to the Media Report to locate the appropriate tape. If the Media
Report or Packing List are not available, then use the VMFPLC2 command to determine what is on the
tape.
After the correct tape has been identified, mount the tape.
For more information about the format of a stacked VMSES/E tape, please refer to Appendix Appendix E,
“Licensed Products Tapemaps” on page 303.
3.3.2 Prepare the Product Envelope Delivered from Internet
To install a product using a Product Envelope delivered from the Internet, follow the Installation
Instructions provided with Shopz to upload the Product Envelope to the host VM system and de-compact
it.
To identify the contents of your order, refer to the packing list provided by Shopz. Match the file names of
the downloaded files, to the names listed under the heading 'Ref. No.'. The description will tell you the
contents of your file. It may be helpful to rename this file to a descriptive name so that it is easily
recognized for future reference. The file type must be renamed to SERVLINK.
Example
V6608454 TERS0028 * File name on Workstation
V6608454 BIN * File received to VM as Binary Fixed 1024
HLASM SERVLINK * De-compacted file and renamed to SERVLINK
After you have uploaded the Product Envelope to the VM host system in BINARY FIXED 1024 and
de-compacted the file, you may install the product. When installing using a Product Envelope, the ENV
option must be used with the VMFINS commands.
