Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
Notice:
   If you are using the MBM product, this MTP patch release requires that you
   also use MBM patch release, patch id 117630-01, or later.
 
   If you are using the J3270 product, this MTP patch release requires that you
   also use J3270 patch release, patch id 114279-04, or later.
 
   If you are using the MSF product, this MTP patch release requires that you
   also use MSF patch release, patch id 117631-01 or later.
 
   If you are using the MAA product, this MTP patch release requires that you
   also use MAA patch release, patch id 114865-01 or later.
 
   If you are using the MAT product, this MTP patch release requires that you
   also use MAT patch release, patch id 114866-01 or later.
 
The procedure for installing a patch release differs slightly from the
procedure for installing the Sun Mainframe Transaction Processing 
software from a CD-ROM, as described in the Installation Guide.
 
To install a patch release
 
1. Create a staging directory on your system for the zip file you will 
download from SunSolve. For example:
 
mkdir /pkgs/mtp_patches
 
2. On SunSolve, select the patch, download it to the staging directory.
 
3. If you have a previous installation of MTP, make a note of the top level 
directory where it is installed, such as /pkgs/mtp. If this is your first 
installation, follow the directions in the Installation Guide for setting up
the installation directory.
 
4. Change to the installation directory and extract the contents of the zip
file. For example, type the commands:
 
cd /pkgs/mtp
unzip /pkgs/mtp_patches/117629-04.zip
 
This command will install the MTP files into the following directory structure:
 
/pkgs/mtp/117629-04/MTP8.0.1p4/
 
This README file will also be copied to the /pkgs/mtp/117629-04 directory.
Refer to the /pkgs/mtp/117629-04/MTP8.0.1p4/doc/updated_user_doc.txt file
for documentation updates.
 
5. If you have an existing setup file, you must update the UNIKIX environment 
variable to point to this new installation directory. If you do not have a 
setup file, follow the directions in the Installation Guide for creating one.
 
6. Follow the directions in the Installation Guide for creating a license file. 
If you already have a valid license, make sure the KIXLICDIR environment 
variable in your new setup file points to the correct license directory.
 
7. Follow the directions in the Installation Guide for building the MTP
software and verifying your installation.
