2.Introduction

This document provides an overview of the customization tasks necessary to upgrade an earlier version of XPAF to XPAF 6.0. It is intended as a quick reference guide for users familiar with the XPAF installation process.

For additional information on the subjects covered in this document, refer to the XPAF 6.0 User Guide, Section Two.

For more information on the MVS commands, refer to the IBM “MVS System

Commands” manual for your operating system level.

Overview

This section provides an overview of the steps necessary to upgrade your XPAF system.

Install the base software

Upgrading an existing XPAF 6.0 or 7.0 system to XPAF 8.0 simply requires installing the XPAF 8.0 base software and latest maintenance. The XPAF 8.0 software, by default, will reside in its own SMPE CSI.

Review new functionality

Review the new functionality documented in Chapter Three and plan to implement any new features you wish to take advantage of.

Assemble and install any XPAF User exits

If you are using any XPAF user exits in your current XPAF system, you will need to reassemble and install them in your 8.0 system. Refer to the “Installing User Exits” section of the XPAF 8.0 User documentation (Page 3-43, PDF page 115) for additional information.

Copy your existing license key to XPAF 8.0

Copy your existing XPAF license string(s) from the XPAF 6.0 or XPAF 8.0

XINPARM(XINSLSTR) member to your new XPAF 8.0 XINPARM PDS.

XPAF 8.0 will not function without a valid license string.
