Installation Information


 This section contains changes to the product's Program Directory.

 2. 07/11/09 SECTION OF PROG. DIRECTORY REFERENCED: 5.4

             For customer upgrading to OnDemand for z/OS V8.4 from
             OnDemand for OS/390 and z/OS V7.1, the OnDemand database
             tables must have all the maintenance installed through PTF
             UK24971 for Roll-up 7.1.2.9. .

             Customers who have not installed PTF UK24971 may
             use the following information to perform the table
             maintenance using OnDemand V8.4.

             PERFORM THE FOLLOWING TO VERIFY THE DATABASE MAY BE
             UPGRADED TO BE USED BY OnDemand V8.4.

             Prior to performing the database upgrade steps below,
             execute the following SQL to determine if any of the
             ARSAPP columns are currently too big to fit in the
             updated tables:

             SELECT NAME, AGID FROM ARSUSER.ARSAPP WHERE
                   LENGTH(FIXED_VIEW) > 10698 OR
                   LENGTH(INDEXER)   > 10698  OR
                   LENGTH(PREPROCESSOR) > 10698;

             If any rows are returned, DO NOT CONTINUE and contact
             IBM Support for assistance.

             The columns will need to be reduced in size before the
             databases are accessible by OnDemand V8.4.


                NEW ars.cfg PARAMETERS

             Three ars.cfg settings were delivered by the 7.1.2.9
             roll-up:

             1. ARS_USER_EXITS_DIR
                   If specified, this causes OnDemand to look in
                   the specified directory for user exits.

                   Note: If ARS_USER_EXITS_DIR is specified, this
                   is the only directory OnDemand will search.  It
                   will not fall back to
                      /usr/lpp/ars/V8R4M0/bin/exits
                   if the userexit cannot be loaded.

             2.  ARSMVS_TABLESPACE_COMPRESS=YES | NO
                 ARSMVS_TABLESPACE_TRACKMOD=YES | NO

             Will cause OnDemand to put a COMPRESS YES | NO
             and/or a TRACKMOD YES | NO clause on the CREATE
             TABLESPACE for the application group data table
             tablespaces.

            DATABASE UPGRADE

             Upgrading customers will need to perform the following
             steps before accessing the existing OnDemand database
             using OnDemand V8.4. Customers will need to have a
             database backup and recovery plan implemented prior to
             performing this procedure:

             1. Stop all OnDemand V7.1 activity on databases being
                upgraded to V8.4.
             1. Customize and execute the ARSTSPCC member of
                SARSINST to create the additional tablespaces.
             3. Backup the OnDemand Database or make sure a current
                backup is available.
             4. Run the following commands from the
                /usr/lpp/ars/V8R4M0/bin directory.
                1) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vx ARSSYS"
                2) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vx ARSAPP"
                3) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vd ARSSYS"
                4) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vd ARSAPP"
                5) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vc ARSSYS"
                6) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vc ARSAPP"
                7) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vi ARSSYS"
                8) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vi ARSAPP"
                9) Run "arsdb <-I instance_name> -vu"
             5. Start the OnDemand V8.4 servers and related
                functions.

 1. 07/11/09 SECTION OF PROG. DIRECTORY REFERENCED: 2.2

        The IBM CICS Client for IBM DB2 Content Manager OnDemand
        for MultiPlatform

             Customers using the CICS Client with OnDemand for
             OS/390 and z/OS V7.1 will need to upgrade to the
             CICS Client V8400 for use with OnDemand for z/OS
             V8.4.

             Please follow the instructions in the Program
             Directory to acquire this version of the CICS Client.

         The OnDemand Workstation Client

             The OnDemand Workstation Client V8.4.0.1 must be used
             with OnDemand for z/OS V8.4.

             The OnDemand Client & Admin Client V8.4.0.1 may be
             downloaded using URL

          ftp://service.software.ibm.com/software/ondemand/fixes/v840

             This version of the client will be available with
             fixpack 8.4.0.1 for OnDemand for MultiPlatform V8.4.

         The OnDemand Web Admin client (ODWA) available with
         OnDemand MultiPlatform V8.4

             The OnDemand Web Admin client (ODWA) available with
             OnDemand MultiPlatform V8.4 will need to be at the
             MultiPlatform fixpack 8.4.0.1 level to be used to
             administer OnDemand for z/OS V8.4 servers.




Documentation Changes


 This section outlines major errors in the product's published
 documentation.

 1. 08/12/03 Correction to Configuration Guide
             SC19-1212-00, c1912120.pdf
             chapter 5 page 22:
             "The HFS directory structure /usr/lpp/ars/V8R4M0
             may not be changed." is an incorrect statement.
             That statement should now read:
             "Do not change the HFS directory structure
             /usr/lpp/ars/V8R4M0.  If you want to
             use an alternate mountpoint, ensure that all the
             directories below /usr/lpp/ars/V8R4M0 are available
             at the location where the HFS is mounted.
             For example, if you take the HFS that is mounted
             at /usr/lpp/ars/V8R4M0 and mount it at directory
             /xxx, you should have new directories such as
             /xxx/bin, /xxx/bin/exits, and /xxx/config."
