Viewing and following the generated customization instructions

Before you begin

You must complete the generation of the customization jobs.

Why and when to perform this task

This section tells you how to complete the "View instructions" option that is in all of the main tasks you can perform. Once you view the steps and verify your information, you can then follow the steps.

Note: It is very helpful to also print the instructions for reference and to use as a checklist for all the installation and customization steps you need to follow.

There are four phases you go through when following the generated instructions:

  1. Perform manual system updates:
    • WLM
    • SCHEDxx
    • APF
    • SMF
    • BPXPRMxx
    • LPA
    • Link list.
  2. Run system-related jobs:
    • Logstream
    • RRS
    • CTRACE
    • RACF profiles and resources.
  3. Run your server's HFS-related jobs:
    • Create and mount the HFS file system.
    • Populate the HFS with directories and XML.
    • Create the was.env files for the location service daemon and servers.
    • Batch install the Administration application.
    • Clean up the HFS structure.
  4. Start your servers:
    • Start CTRACE.
    • Start your controller. (The controller automatically starts the location service daemon, and WLM starts the servants.)

Steps for this task

  1. On the main Dialog panel, type the appropriate number in the Option field to select "View instructions".
  2. Press Enter.
    You will then see the generated instructions file.
  3. View the instructions.
  4. Check the instructions for any typographical errors you may have introduced when entering your variables or other information. If necessary, modify your variables using the Dialog, regenerate the instructions, and re-review the results.

    Note: Do not attempt to fix a typo or make a change by modifying the generated output. Many of the variables are used in multiple members of the target data sets, so, if you do not change them all, you will run into very difficult-to-diagnose problems.

  5. Print the instructions according to your local print procedures.

What to do next

You are done when you view or print the instructions. You can now go on to follow them, using the worksheet for your task as a guide.
