Driving system Wave 1 requirements

z/OS Planning for Installation
GA32-0890-02

In Wave 1 you install the majority of the elements and features of z/OS®.

Driving system requirements for installing Wave 1 are:
  1. An operating system. Use either of the following:
    • z/OS V1R12 or later, except that the program management binder, HLASM, and SMP/E must be at the current (latest) levels.

      To satisfy the program management binder, HLASM, and SMP/E requirements, you can use a STEPLIB DD statement to access the z/OS V2R1 program management binder, HLASM, and SMP/E in the Wave 0 target system's SYS1.MIGLIB and ASM.SASMMOD1 data sets. Ensure that the target system's SYS1.MIGLIB and ASM.SASMMOD1 data sets are APF-authorized on the driving system. Also, ensure that HLASM PTF UK57150 (APAR PM14258) is installed.

    • The Customized Offerings Driver V3 (5751-COD).
  2. Proper security. In order for you to install the UNIX files, the security definitions described in item 4 are required.
  3. Program management binder entry in SMP/E UTILITY. The SMP/E UTILITY must have an entry for the program management binder. You can specify any of these program names in the UTILITY entry: IEWBLINK, HEWL, IEWL, LINKEDIT, or HEWLH096. (The linkage editor, which uses the names HEWLKED, HEWLF064, IEWLF440, IEWLF880, and IEWLF128, cannot be used.)
  4. IEBCOPY entry update in SMP/E UTILITY. In the IEBCOPY entry, you must specify PARM(WORK=2M) before you receive the FMIDs for Wave 1 elements. This change is introduced in z/OS V2R1 because of the relfiles size increase in Support for Unicode component in the BCP element.
  5. Language Environment® requirements. You must add SCEERUN (the run time library provided by Language Environment) to your program search order because many elements and features require it. If you wish, add SCEERUN to your LNKLST concatenation. If you do not add SCEERUN to your LNKLST, you access SCEERUN by using STEPLIB DD statements in the individual element and feature procedures that require them. The BCP is one element that requires access to SCEERUN; its program management binder is the source of this requirement since OS/390® V2R10. This means that you must make SCEERUN available (by LNKLST concatenation or STEPLIB DD statement, for instance) to any JCL and procedures (such as SMP/E procedures) that invoke the program management binder. This ensures that processing, such as conversion of long names to short names, is successful.
  6. OMVS address space active. Before you install the elements and features in Wave 1, you must activate the OMVS address space in full function mode on the driving system. To activate OMVS, complete the required customization (for example, SMS and RACF® setup) as described in z/OS UNIX System Services Planning.
  7. Mounting of the target system's file system. The target system's file system must be mounted.
