INSTALL step

The INSTALL step of the DTXINST JCL runs the BPXBATCH MVS™ utility program, which runs the createuser shell script from the bin directory of the IBM® Transformation Extender - Common Components base feature.

The createuser shell script creates the following subdirectories in the IBM Transformation Extender home directory (DTX_HOME_DIR) location, specified in the CRTHOME setting, and installs the files from the location specified in the INSTHOME setting into these subdirectories:
  • bin
  • config
  • data
  • dump
  • libs
  • logs
  • maps
  • OSGI Bundle
  • src
  • systems
  • tmp
  • wmqi
Note: The wmqi and OSGI Bundle subdirectories are created if you have installed the IBM Transformation Extender for Integration Servers optional feature.

The createuser script creates symbolic links to the bin, libs, and config directories of the installed IBM Transformation Extender features. It also creates the setup shell script and optionally creates the deploy shell script for the IBM Transformation Extender for Integration Servers if you have installed this optional feature.

The INSTALL step uses the INSTHOME symbolic parameter to identify the installed location of the common components directory and the CRTHOME symbolic parameter to identify the location of the user runtime directory.
