Upgrading Precisely Assure MIMIX™ Software version 10.0.19.00 and older on Skytap VMs

This procedure will upgrade Precisely Assure MIMIX™ Software version 10.0.19.00 or older to the most current version on Skytap VMs. If your Assure MIMIX™ Software version is 10.0.19.00 or older (use the LAKEVIEW/WRKPRD command to see the version information) then use these steps to upgrade.

This upgrade procedure is required only for Skytap Assure MIMIX™ Software version 10.0.19.00 and older. If your Skytap Assure MIMIX™ Software version is 10.0.20.00 or newer, follow the steps in Upgrading Precisely Assure MIMIX™ Software software (from version 10.0.20.00 or higher).

  1. Type ENDMMX *IMMED and press Enter to end all Assure MIMIX™ Software jobs.

    This should leave the PORTxxxxx jobs active on each node.

  2. Sign out and sign in using a high-power profile (as described in Prerequisites) to a Skytap Assure MIMIX™ Software-enabled node. If there are more than two nodes in the installation, the node must be a *MGT node.
  3. Type CHGJOB CCSID(37) DECFMT(*BLANK) and press Enter to change the CCSID of the job to 37.
  4. Type CALL QCMD and press Enter.
  5. Press F11 to expand the command input to full screen.
  6. Press F10 to include detailed messages (this is a toggle PF key).
  7. Copy the following command, paste it to the command window, and then press Enter:
