========================

WPS for z/OS version 4.1.10-GA-release (4.1.10.0.18452-GA-release)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

=======================================================================

     1. Prerequisites

     2. Installation

     3. Upgrading

=======================================================================

1. Prerequisites
================
z/OS version 2.1 or above is required to run WPS.

An OMVS segment must be defined for the TSO user that is going to be
running WPS, or a default OMVS segment must be defined. In both cases a
Hierarchical File System (HFS) must be defined and the home directory
must exist and the user must have access to it. There is no space
requirement for this home directory unless it is intended specifically
to use this location from WPS.


2. Installation
===============
WPS for z/OS is provided as a ZIP file. Full installation instructions
are provided in the file WPS-Installation-and-User-Guide-for-zOS.pdf.
The ZIP file contains additional documentation including this file.


Quickstart
----------
Brief instructions for installation:

Obtain the WPS installation TERSE file. The TERSE file may be downloaded
directly from the WPL website or extracted from the WPS installation ZIP
downloaded from the WPL website.

Upload the WPS installation TERSE file to the z/OS mainframe host using
any method ensuring binary transfer is used.

Unterse using the IBM TRSMAIN utility. This will result in a PDS LIBRARY
containing several members, we will call this WPSDLIB (WPS distribution
library). Read the $README member.

To install WPS to its final location, edit the @INSTALL member adding a
jobcard and editing the parts described at the top of the file. Submit
the job. Once completed, the @INSTALL job will have created a number of
datasets using a common prefix as specified in the @INSTALL member.

Edit the WPSPROC member of the CNTL library created by the previous
step, make the changes as described at the top of the file. This member
is the common JCL PROC to be used when running WPS.

Edit the SETINIT member of the CNTL library adding a jobcard and
entering the license key information you have been given by World
Programming.

Submit the SETINIT job.

It is recommended that you also edit and submit the verification jobs
included in the CNTL library to check that your WPS installation has
been successful.

3. Upgrading
============
You will need a version 4 license key to use WPS version 4.

WPS will always be able to read data created by prior versions of WPS.
Older versions of WPS will not always be able to read data created by
newer versions of WPS.
