Preparing a PTF package for installation

Updates to the compiler are supplied as PTF packages. Before these PTF packages can be used to update the compiler, they must be downloaded and uncompressed, and a .toc file must be generated.

Use the following instructions to prepare the update package for installation:
Note: You must log in as root or have superuser authority.
  1. Download the PTF package that you want (for example 13.1.0.1-Rational-xlCcmp-AIX-FP001.tar.Z) into an empty directory.
  2. Restore the compressed file and extract the PTF filesets from the downloaded package. To uncompress and unpack the tar file, use the following command:
    zcat package_name.tar.Z | tar -xvf - 
  3. Use the command inutoc directory_name to generate a .toc file in the same directory as the unpacked filesets.
The following example shows the steps to prepare the package, 13.1.0.1-Rational-xlCcmp-AIX-FP001.tar.Z, located in the new directory, /compiler/update/ for installation.
cd /compiler/update
zcat 13.1.0.1-Rational-xlCcmp-AIX-FP001.tar.Z | tar -xvf - 
inutoc .
