Minimizing software installation time

 

These actions can minimize the time required to install your i5/OS^® software.

• Use the automatic installation process rather than performing a manual installation process. Software installation process has information on both methods.

• If you are not using the automatic installation process, be sure to set the QSYSOPR message queue in *BREAK mode before you start the installation process.

• Perform the licensed program installation with all subsystems ended (ENDSBS *ALL). If you are performing an automatic installation, you are operating in the preferred environment. This environment provides maximum system resources to the installation process and eliminates certain functions.

• If you have a large number of spooled files on your system, set the compress job tables IPL attribute to none. To do this, use the Change IPL Attributes command: CHGIPLA CPRJOBTBL(*NONE).
