Install i5/OS PASE

You can follow the instructions in this topic to install i5/OS™ PASE on your server.

i5/OS PASE is available free of charge on all iSeries™ servers. It is recommended that you install i5/OS PASE; some system software, such as the enhanced Domain Name System (DNS) server and the ILE C++ compiler, requires i5/OS PASE support.

To install i5/OS PASE on your server, complete the following steps:

On an i5/OS command line, enter GO LICPGM.
Select 11 (Install licensed program).
Select option 33 (5722SS1 - Portable Application Solutions Environment).
Optional: Install additional locales.
The i5/OS PASE product installs only the locale objects that are associated with the language features that you have installed on i5/OS. If you need locales that are not included with the language features on your server, you need to order and install additional i5/OS language features. See i5/OS PASE Globalization and i5/OS PASE locales for more information.

Licensing note for software developers who are porting an application to i5/OS PASE:

i5/OS PASE provides a subset of the AIX^® runtime libraries on the i5/OS system. The i5/OS license authorizes you to use any library code shipped with i5/OS. This license does not imply a license to AIX libraries that were not shipped with i5/OS PASE. All AIX products are separately licensed by IBM^®.

As you begin porting your own applications to i5/OS PASE, you might find that your application has dependencies on AIX libraries that were not shipped with i5/OS PASE. Before porting these libraries to the i5/OS system, you should determine which software product provided those libraries and examine the terms and conditions of the license agreement for that software product. It might be necessary to work with IBM or a third party to port additional middleware dependencies to the i5/OS system. You should investigate every licensing agreement involved with the code you are porting before you start porting. If you need to find out about license agreements in place against libraries that you believe belong to IBM, contact your IBM marketing representative, one of the IBM porting centers, the Custom Technology Center in Rochester, or PartnerWorld^® for Developers.
