Creating a POF member for PACLOG - Documentation for Installation System
Marcus Reynolds To create a POF by migrating values during PACLOG upgrade
If you are upgrading PACLOG to the current version, the system migrates your existing option values to a new POF member.
Use the MIGRATE_OPTIONS command, such as in the following example, to create a POF member with one SSID.
The SSID is the same as the one on the EXEC PARM.
For details about the migration process, see Migrating installation option values for BMC products for Db2.
Example of MIGRATE_OPTIONS command
//JLWBMGO3 JOB (PARM),WATSON,CLASS=Q,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ALMBMGO,PARM='DEJM',REGION=4M
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SCC.PTFS1310.BMCLINK
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.LOAD
//ALMMSGS DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.CNTL(ALMMSGS)
//ALMPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//BMCERROR DD SYSOUT=*
//ALMIN DD * MIGRATE_OPTIONS FROM_POF_DSN PREVIOUS.CNTL FROM_OPTIONSET ALM$OPTS TO_OPTIONSET ALM$OPTS REPLACE N

// Syntax reference for migrating to POF
The following table shows descriptions for options to migrate to a POF:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
MIGRATE_OPTIONS | Run the command that specifies a product version upgrade installation. |
| FROM_POF_DSN | Specify the product options file or data set name from which to migrate product options. |
| FROM_OPTIONSET | Specify the name of the existing option set from which you are migrating. |
TO_OPTIONSET | Specify the name of the option set you want to create. |
| REPLACE | Set REPLACE Y to replace an existing POF. The default value is N. Important If you run the IVP job more than once, use REPLACE N to prevent overwriting your options file. |
