Question & Answer
Question
Why was the bin library empty after an install? I ran the install for DataPropagator V8 but I am missing something. I created a bin directory but a bin file was never loaded to a UNIX system service (USS)? The languages were loaded, but not a bin file?
Answer
The installation process installs the DataPropagator V8/V9 programs into a z/OS load module library and creates a bin subdirectory in the DataPropagator V8/V9 hierarchical file system (HFS) directory. The bin subdirectory contains empty program executable files having the STICKY BIT (this mechanism informs the Capture program to read the STEPLIB) set on. The installation ASNISMKD executable creates the bin subdirectory and empty program executable files.
To run a DataPropagator V8/V9 program from a USS, perform the following actions:
1. Set a STEPLIB environment variable that specifies both the DataPropagator V8 load module library and the DB2 for z/OS load module library.
2. Set a PATH environment variable that includes the DataPropagator V8 bin subdirectory.
3. Set a LANG environment variable, if it has not been set by the /etc/profile file.
4. Set a NLSPATH environment variable, if it has not been set by the /etc/profile file.
5. Set a TZ environment variable, if it has not been set by the /etc/profile file.
When a user executes a DataPropagator V8/V9 program from a USS, OpenEdition MVS searches for the program in the load module libraries specified by the user's STEPLIB environment variable, the link pack area, or the link list concatenation.
