Re: SAS for ZOS 9.4.8 Install/Upgrade Experiences?

[Paul Beesley]

I've just done the first part of the install of SAS 9.4, not the easiest of 
jobs.
 I built the Software Depot on my laptop then used the Windows TAR command 
(which I didn't know existed) to create a tar file of each of the 10 
directories. Then uploaded these to a ZFS on the mainframe and used OMVS TAR to 
decompress them into the original directories. Used the SASDepotCheck.rexx to 
verify it had all been uploaded correctly.

Agree re support .. I raised a few cases during the install and they didn't get 
immediately picked up by a mainframe person, but usually got a reply within 24 
hours, no real issues..


Best Regards
Paul

The last 9.4 upgrade I did, I ended up transferring it to my desktop, and then 
from there to a ZFS on z/OS.  The problem then was that the direct to z/OS 
method was broken on the SAS end and I would imagine that they probably fixed 
it in the past 5 months since that time, but it wasn't a real hardship to 
download it to the PC first.

The rest of the install was identical to installing any of the previous 9.4 
releases for the past several years.  If you have any specific questions, feel 
free to send me a note.  I had the impression when I was working with SAS 
though that they no longer had much in the way of z/OS (or any mainframe) 
experienced people, but it might just have been a bad day or that the mainframe 
people were out sick.

Even a book listed as fiction in the library has some elements of truth. The

they don’t exist either.

Nobody ever seems to address the crusades in which Christians killed hundreds 
of thousands and perhaps millions. And nobody addresses the pedophile ring 
called the Catholic Church.

The Bible is 100% fiction. Christians have killed and molested more people than 
anyone. Pro life?

Hi Bill,
You said: "...Noah never collected 2 of every species. .."
That is close to what the Bible says, but is inaccurate.
Please see GE 7:2
(The verse says Noah was commanded to take 7 (possibly 14) of each species of 
"clean" animals. (The Hebrew word טְּהוֹרָ֗ does not translate to English. It is 
usually translated as clean, which although close is
incorrect.)

It's not in any CPAC library.
I found it in here: IPO1.CUSTPAC.SCPPLOAD (your HLQ may differ).

It is shipped with z/os serverpac. Depends on your installation. Perhaps CPAC 
prefix library contains it if it wasn't copied to your active linklist.

I'm looking for ancient documentation, like IBM Hardware Collection
(Bookreader)
I also look for IOCP User Guide for z900. (note: z900, not z/Whatever).

Obviously I'm aware of bitsavers, so I'm looking for other material.

Any clue?


It has very little to do with my job. It is just a hobby. I like mainframes.
