Shell creation on iSeries

[Former Member]

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with shell creation on iSeries?

With program R3LDCTLDB4 we've created the STR & TPL files, they have been adjusted via TDMS, but now we somehow have to start a system copy based on these files.

When starting SAPinst, it makes proparations to copy the whole system.

Does anyone have an idea how to tell SAPinst to copy the system based on already generated STR & TPL files (on iSeries)

Kind regards,

Start SAPINST with parameter SAPINST_CWD = Path of directory where edited TPL files are place.

for ex. your installation directory is d:\sapinst (in this directory your tpl files are placed) then start sapinst like -

SAPINST SAPINST_CWD = "D:\SAPINST".

CWD stands for current working directory. Also it is advised to set environment parameter SAP_DIR and TMP to D:\SAPINST

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

Pankaj.
