Client/server component update

If you select "Workstation connection" but the WSA code does not match the latest level available, the Client/Server Component Update panel is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.

Note: If you have not started the WSA, the Initiate Workstation Connection panel displays, but you will not be able to establish a connection.

From this panel, you can download the latest WSA or continue to use your current WSA, and even tell ISPF not to notify you again if your WSA does not match the latest available. In the Download New Agent? field, you can specify one of three choices:

Download now: The download copies an installation program for the latest level of the WSA. You must specify the target directory in the "Directory to copy file to:" field. To create a new directory (one that does not already exist on your workstation) for the file, enter a slash mark (/) in the "Create directory to which the file is to be copied" field. The "Data Set to copy file from:" field should already be initialized by your system programmer. If it is not, you must specify the host data set that holds the latest WSA installation program. For example, 'SYS1.ISP.SISPGUI'.
After downloading the installation program for the WSA, end your ISPF/GUI connection, terminate your old Workstation Agent, and run the installation program to install the new one.
Do not download: You might want to download the new WSA later. If so, select "Do not download". ISPF does not download the new installation program at this time, but will prompt you again the next time you start a GUI session. Of course, you can always download the agent yourself with the Client/Server Component download function of the ISPF Utilities panel at any time. See Download data set to workstation utility (option 3.7) for more information.
Cease warnings: ISPF does not download the agent installation program and you will not be notified again that your current WSA does not match the latest available on the host until an even higher level is available. That is, if you currently run level 433 and you have asked to Cease warnings at level 440, ISPF will not notify you again until at least level 441 is available.

Upon successful download of the new agent, the panel in Figure 2 appears. This panel gives you the option to end your GUI session and begin the installation immediately (by choosing option 1), or continuing your present session and installing the new Workstation Agent at a later time. See Download data set to workstation utility (option 3.7) for more information.
