Product ServerPac z/OS Planning for Installation GA32-0890-02 |
|
For products other than z/OS® itself, as of October 15, 2012, IBM® has added a new capability for ServerPac called a Product ServerPac. Shopz and ServerPac now allow you to order many of the z/OS and DB2® products or groups of products without requiring a particular product to be included unless it is required to build your order. You can order z/OS Management Facility (5610-A01), or Enterprise PL/I V4 (5655-W67), or IBM Sterling Connect: Direct for z/OS (5655-X01), and IBM InfoSphere® Guardium® Data Encryption for IMS™ and DB2 Databases (5655-P03) without having to order z/OS or DB2 itself. As of z/OS V2R1, you can also use Product ServerPac to order IMS, NCP, and CICS® products without having to include the IMS, NCP, or CICS base product in the order. Using Shopz, you can order eligible products in a Product ServerPac in the same manner as for a regular ServerPac. Shopz will have a new triangle icon to indicate which products in the ServerPac catalog are eligible for a Product ServerPac. Shopz product requisite checking enforces requirements for installation, but, similar to CBPDO, Shopz also displays requisites that can be bypassed if you already have them installed on your system. A Product ServerPac has the same characteristics as a regular ServerPac. IBM
installs the product or product set when manufacturing your order and delivers the target and
distribution libraries with:
As with the ServerPac orders for subsystems, Product ServerPac orders are not shipped with a separate master catalog and use the existing master catalog during installation. Using a Product ServerPac rather than CBPDO to build these product sets avoids having to install each product individually and then install service using SMP/E. |
