Verifying completion of automatic installation

 

To verify that you have successfully completed an i5/OS^® upgrade by using the automatic installation method, follow these steps.

   Type the following and press Enter:

   • User: QSECOFR

   • Password: (Enter password, if required.)

2. The i5/OS Main Menu (or the menu you chose as your initial menu) appears on the console.

   Type GO LICPGM and press Enter.

3. The Work with Licensed Programs display appears. Use the page down or roll up key to see the third display of the Work with Licensed Programs menu. The i5/OS Main Menu (or the menu you chose as your initial menu) appears on your console Type 50 and press Enter.

4. The Display Install History display appears. The XX's indicate default values.

                            Display Install History  
   Type choices, press enter.
    
     Start date . . . . . .    XX/XX/XX   MM/DD/YY  
     Start time . . . . . .    XX:XX:XX   HH:MM:SS  
     Output . . . . . . . .    *_______   *, *PRINT  
    

   Press Enter.

5. Look at the messages that appear on the Display History Log Contents display.

   • If you had an installed licensed program that was not renewed by IBM, it might not be replaced. Refer to Mixed-release environment for more information.

   • If any of the messages on the display indicate a failure or a licensed program that is partially installed, go to Troubleshooting software installation problems to determine the problem.

   Otherwise, press F3 (Exit).

6. Verify the installed status values of your licensed programs and check for compatibility. It is important to make sure all of your licensed programs are compatible with the operating system. You can determine a licensed program's compatibility by checking the installed status value.

   Use LICPGM menu option 10 (Display licensed programs) to see the release and installed status values of the installed licensed programs. If the installed status value of a licensed program is *COMPATIBLE, it is ready for use. If the installed status value of a licensed program is *BACKLEVEL, the licensed program is installed, but its version, release, and modification is not compatible with the currently installed level of the operating system.

   Check the topic Licensed program releases and sizes to verify the current version, release, and modification of the licensed program. Installed status values lists the possible installed status value descriptions.

You have completed this task.
