<h1 class="topictitle1">Checklist: Create central site distribution media</h1>
<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If you selected tape, DVD, or image catalog as the
distribution media, complete the tasks in this checklist to create the distribution
media.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
<div class="section"><p> If you selected CD-ROM as the distribution media, refer to <a href="http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/optical/cdrom/cddist.htm" target="_blank">Using CD-ROM in Distributing iSeries Software</a> to create
the CD-ROM. </p>
<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> <img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />An image catalog for a virtual
tape device cannot be used to perform either <span class="keyword">Licensed Internal Code</span> or <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> save operations or restore
operations.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Before you begin</h4><div class="p"> <ol><li>If you plan to distribute secondary language files, ensure you know the
following: <ul><li>The <a href="../nls/rbagsnatlangfeatcode.htm">national
language version feature code</a> for the secondary language.</li>
<li>The <a href="rzai4lpnoseclang.htm#rzai4lpnoseclang">Licensed programs that do not support secondary languages</a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If you selected tape or DVD as the distribution media, print
a copy of the distribution media cover sheet for central site distribution
media. You will need it when you create the distribution media.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
<li> Ensure that you have a dedicated central system.</li>
<li>Ensure that you have *SAVSYS and *JOBCTL special authorities. If you do
not have these authorities, you will be unable to create the distribution
media.</li>
<li>Ensure that *JRNRCV objects are not in the QSYS library.</li>
<li>Change the QALWOBJRST (Allow Object Restore) system value to *ALL on the
central system. The Allow Object Restore (QALWOBJRST) system value specifies
whether objects with security-sensitive attributes can be restored.</li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Create the distribution media</h4> <ol><li>Rename or delete history logs on the central system: <ol type="a"><li>Type <tt>CHGMSGQ MSGQ(QHST) DLVRY(*DFT)</tt> to turn all message logging
off. </li>
<li>Type <tt>DSPLOG QHST</tt> (Display History Log) to make sure that all
messages are written to the history log. Press Enter after the history log
is shown.</li>
<li>Type <tt>WRKOBJ QSYS/QHST* *FILE</tt> (Work with Objects and Display All
History Logs) to work with all of the history logs. Press Enter.</li>
<li>Use the rename or delete option on each history log. The history logs
must be deleted from QSYS or renamed to make sure the history logs will not
be distributed to the target system.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Select option 40 (Create a distribution media) from the GO LICPGM menu
and complete each task. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If you chose an optical image catalog
as the distribution media, inquiry message OPT149F might appear during processing.
(Tape image catalogs cannot be used for this step.) The message
means that the initialized volumes are full. To continue processing, select
option A and press Enter. Selecting option A will create, load, mount, and
initialize a new volume and processing will continue.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></div>
</li>
<li>After you complete option 40, complete the following tasks to save secondary
language files to the distribution media. In the name of the QSYS29<em>xx</em> library,
and the language parameter of the SAVLICPGM command, <em>xx</em> represents
the national language version feature code for the secondary language. <ol type="a"><li>Save the QSYS29<em>xx</em> library. This library contains the secondary
language files.</li>
<li>Save each licensed program specifying the language parameter and the object
type parameter for each licensed program. The parameter of OBJTYPE must be
*LNG. For example: <samp class="codeph">SAVLICPGM LICPGM(5722WDS) DEV(TAP01) LNG(29<em>xx</em>)
OBJTYPE(*LNG) ENDOPT(*LEAVE)</samp></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Save additional user libraries to the distribution media using the Save
Library (SAVLIB) command.</li>
<li>Save user directories and other objects to the distribution media using
the Save (SAV) command.</li>
<li>Save the license keys file at the end of the last distribution media.</li>
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />To set write protection for virtual images, see <a href="../rzam4/rzam4writeprotect.htm">Change write-protection
for image catalog entries</a>.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
<li>To add DVD media to an image catalog, go to <a href="../rzahc/prepareimagecatalog.htm">Preparing to upgrade or replace software using an image catalog</a>. </li>
<li>To convert virtual images to DVD or CD-ROM, see <a href="../rzam4/rzam4virtualimage.htm">Create actual media from a virtual image</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>The User Profiles (QFILEUPR) file and the Device Configuration (QFILEIOC)
file do not appear on the list of file names supplied by IBM. However, these
files appear on the distribution media you create using option 40 (Create
a distribution media). </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">When you are finished</h4><ol><li>Type the Change Message Queue (CHGMSGQ) command to set the delivery parameter
for the QHST message queue to the previous value (before you create the distribution
media). This turns all message logging on again.</li>
<li><a href="rzai4dupdisttapedvd.htm#rzai4dupdisttapedvd">Duplicate and distribute tape or DVD distribution media</a></li>
