Workload Automation 5.1.0 Maintenance

Workload Automation 5.1.0 Maintenance

Introduction

Workload Automation 5.1.0 consists of a family of components that address distributed systems management and automation. The components are packaged together as product installation packages. Product installation packages are provided for a variety of operating systems and hardware.

Stonebranch provides product maintenance in the form of updated product installation packages that contained the latest maintenance levels of product components. This document lists the product installation package and component maintenance history for Workload Automation 5.1.0.

Product Packaging

Workload Automation components are bundled together into product installation packages, simply referred as packages in this document. Each package is identified with a package version number and each component within a package is identified with a component version number.

Each package and component maintenance level is identified with a version number. The component maintenance level is incremented whenever a new component is made available that contains defect fixes or feature enhancements. A package maintenance level is incremented when a product component within the package changes or the package installation changes.

Package maintenance levels are not necessarily made available for all platforms. Package maintenance may be released for a subset of supported platforms. For example, Workload Automation for z/OS and UNIX may be at maintenance level 5.1.0.1, but Workload Automation for Windows may be at 5.1.0.0.

Stonebranch changes product version, release, or modification identifiers at its discretion when it deems an appropriate number of enhancements or capabilities have been introduced to warrant the change.

Versioning

Package version numbers are comprised of four numeric identifiers: version, release, modification level, and maintenance level.

For example, for Workload Automation 5.1.0.1:

  • 5 = Version 5

  • 1 = Release 1

  • 0 = Modification Level 0

  • 1 = Maintenance Level 1

Product component version numbers are similar to the package version numbers. Each product component within the package is uniquely identified with its own version, release, modification level, and maintenance level independent of the package version or other component versions. For example, for Universal Command 5.1.0.0:

  • 5 = Version 5

  • 1 = Release 1

  • 0 = Modification Level 0

  • 0 = Maintenance Level 0

Packaging Methods

Packaging methods vary among platforms based on the installation conventions and vendor recommendations for the platform. The purpose of this section is to describe the packaging and distribution methods used for the Workload Automation package on its supported platforms.

 

z/OS

The Workload Automation package is an SMP/E install consisting of multiple FMIDs. The package is composed of a set of FMIDs for MVS components and a set of FMIDs for UNIX System Services (USS) components. The MVS components are required and the USS components are optional.
 
Maintenance is packaged as a cumulative PTF file containing all available product PTFs for all products within the Workload Automation package.

Windows

All packages are created with the InstallShield Windows packaging tool. The package is installed with Microsoft’s Windows Installer (file extension .msi).
 
Product maintenance is packaged as an updated Windows Installer installation package. The installation process upgrades the current install to the latest product maintenance level.

UNIX

Packages are created to comply with the UNIX vendor recommendations. If a UNIX vendor does not have a preferred installation method, the Stonebranch UNIX installation script is used.
 
Product maintenance is packaged as an updated installation package. The installation process upgrades the current installation to the latest product maintenance level.
 
Packaging formats are as follows:

  • AIX is packaged in a backup file format (extension .bff) and installed with the AIX installp command.

  • Sun Solaris is packaged in a Sun software package format and installed with the Sun pkgadd command.

  • HP-UX is packaged in a HP depot format and installed with the HP swinstall command.

  • Linux is packaged in a RPM format and installed with the Linux rpm command.

  • All other UNIX varieties are packaged as compressed tar files and installed with the Stonebranch UNIX installation scripts.

IBM i

The package is an IBM i Licensed Program and installed with the IBM i RSTLICPGM command. By default, all product and dependent product identifiers are installed.
 
Maintenance is packaged as a cumulative PTF file containing all available product PTFs.

HP NonStop

On the HP NonStop platform, Universal Command 2.1.1 product is packaged by itself. No other products are included in the distribution file.
 

The package is installed with a Stonebranch OBEY file.
 
Product maintenance is packaged as an updated installation package. The installation process upgrades the current install to the latest product maintenance level.
