9 Activating New Software on a Target System
Activating the new software involves preparing the system for the new software and starting the
new software. After an activation package is applied to a target system, you must activate the
software before it can be used.
Use the target interface (ZPHITI) to see the operator instructions for activating software. The operator
instructions included with the activation package vary depending on the software being installed.
Also, the planner might have edited the instructions to include site-specific tasks earlier in the
configuration process. Only the instructions required for the particular installation are included in
the activation package.
This section provides an example of generated operator instructions. Make sure to use the instructions
that DSM/SCM generates for you because instructions vary for different products and for any
site-specific instructions the planner might add.
Topics discussed in this section include:
• “Summary of Activating the Software” (page 119)
• “Print the Instructions for Activating the Software” (page 120)
• “Example: Planner Instructions to Operator” (page 120)
Summary of Activating the Software
The operator instructions are transferred to the target system in the activation package. Most
activities performed outside of DSM/SCM that are mentioned in your operator instructions are not
documented in detail here because these procedures can change for different RVUs. For more
information, you are referred to other manuals as appropriate.
1. Some major updates require additional migration steps, so first check the Interactive Upgrade
Guide and the Software Installation and Upgrade Guide for each RVU you install.
2. Review the operator instructions for activating the new software on the target system. If you
performed the Apply separate from the Build, you should already have the operator instructions.
If not, proceed to
“Print the Instructions for Activating the Software” (page 120) .
3. Perform the operator instructions.
