2.6 WebSphere Transcoding Publisher PTF2

< Day Day Up >

Here we discuss the WebSphere Transcoding Publisher post SMP/E installation. WebSphere Transcoding Publisher PTF2 is a full product replacement for PTF1 or a new installation. Therefore, the post installation is quite straightforward consisting of two main steps.

Step 1: Update property files

Log on to a TSO session with root authority, UID=0.
Copy the JCL procedure EJPTPSET from UNIX System Services to your authorized JCL library, <YOURHLQ>.JCL for instance. To do this, execute the following command from the command prompt of the ISPF Command Shell:
- oget '<WTP_PATH>/JCL/EJPTPSET' '<YOURHLQ>.JCL(EJPTPSET)'
Modify the job card to meet your system requirements.
Set the variable BBOLIB with the HLQ dataset qualifier for the WebSphere Application Server installation, the default is BBO.
Replace all occurrences of the following strings:
- Replace #WTP# with the HFS location for the WebSphere Transcoding Publisher installation; the default is <WTP_ROOT>, and in our case we used /usr/lpp/PortalServer/IBMTrans.
- Replace #INPUTFILE# with the HFS location of the WebSphere Portal input file by doing one of the following:
  - If you made a copy of <WPS_PATH>/zosinst/scripts/wps.setup.in, during 2.5.4, "Step four: Edit the setup file" on page 37 of the WebSphere Portal installation, and have edited that copy, specify the complete path of your copy here.
  - If you directly edited <WPS_PATH>/zosinst/scripts/wps.setup.in, remove the #INPUTFILE# variable.
Submit the job EJPTPSET.

Step 2: Register plug-ins with Transcoding Publisher

Copy the JCL procedure from UNIX System Services to your authorized JCL library. To do this, execute the following command from the command prompt of the ISPF Command Shell:
- oget '<WTP_ROOT>/JCL/EJPREGPL' '<YOURHLQ>.JCL(EJPREGPL)'
Modify the job card to meet your system requirements.
Set the variable BBOLIB with the HLQ dataset qualifier for the WebSphere Application Server installation. The default for installation is BBO.
Replace all occurrences of the following strings:
- Replace #WTP# with the HFS location for the WebSphere Transcoding Publisher installation; the default is <WTP_ROOT>.
- Replace -f #INPUTFILE# with the HFS location of the WebSphere Portal input file wps.setup.in. The <-f> parameter is required to select the user-defined file. Do one of the following:
  - If you made a copy of <WPS_PATH>/zosinst/scripts/wps.setup.in, during 2.5.4, "Step four: Edit the setup file" on page 37 of the WebSphere Portal installation, and have edited that copy, specify the complete path of your copy here.
  - If you directly edited <WPS_PATH>/zosinst/scripts/wps.setup.in, remove the #INPUTFILE# variable.
Submit the job EJPREGPL.

That completes the WebSphere Transcoding Publisher installation.
