In addition, if you are not currently at IMAGE Focus Release 3.5 or greater, you will also need to receive new License Authorization Code(s). To receive new License Authorization Codes, you will need to provide NewEra Technical Support with the CPU MODEL and SERIAL NUMBER(s) of the CPU(s) on which you plan to install IMAGE Focus. NewEra Technical Support can be reached by phone at 408-201-7000 and by e-mail at support@newera.com. Downloading IMAGE Focus Release 4.5 from the NewEra Homepage: If you would like to download a copy of IF45 and the User's Guide you may do so by accessing the NewEra Homepage on the Worldwide Web at http://www.newera.com. Follow the link beginning with "REQUEST PRODUCT UPDATE". To reach the download area you will be prompted for "Required Information". Please make your entries as complete as possible. You may also use the Email interface or Form functions built into the Homepage. Your system will then prompt you for the path and file name under which to store the download file. Once this information is supplied the download of IF45 will begin. Total download time will be approximately 5 minutes. What you get in a download: You will receive a single self-extracting file named ifg.exe. When you execute the downloaded file on your PC, it will expand into six files labeled: Readme.txt, ifo40.doc, ifo45.doc ifo40.pdf, ifo45.pdf and ifo45p10.bin. The readme.txt file contains instructions on how to move the ifo45p10.bin to your MVS Host, but you can review these in the next section. If you want an extra copy of the User's Guide print it using Microsoft Word or any other word processor. In addition there is a PDF version of the User's Guide. You will need to move the ifo45p10.bin to your Host MVS system as part of the actual installation of IF45. How to use the download: Once the download is complete you will have received a single file named ifg.exe. Expanding this file will produce the ifo45p10.bin. You move ifo45p10.bin to your MVS Host using the following instructions: First, you will need to allocate a sequential dataset to receive the file where your.dsn is the name of a dataset you create for the temporary storage of ifo45p10.bin on your host and vol is the volume serial number of the DASD volume this dataset will be located on. An example follows: //ALLOC JOB ...... // EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //FILE DD DSN=your.dsn,DISP=(,CATLG),VOL=SER=vol, // UNIT=unit,SPACE=(CYL,(20,1)),LRECL=80,RECFM=FB, // BLKSIZE=6160 //SYSPRINT DD DUMMY Second, now transfer the file from the PC to the newly created dataset on your MVS Host with a file transfer program. If you are using TSO SEND/RECEIVE you would specify: SEND c:\ifo45p10.bin x:'your.dsn' Third, you will now need to edit the information contained in the dataset. Note that the resulting JCL will be just like that which appears in section (3.7.2) of this User's Guide with the exception that the TAPUNIT and TAPVOLU do not exist. Fourth, you are now ready to continue the IF45 installation as described in Section 3.8 of the ifo40.doc. When the installation is complete you may delete the ifo45p10.bin as it is no longer needed.
