System i (i5/OS) Licensed Program Action

InstallAnywhere 2020

The System i (i5/OS) Licensed Program action enables licensed programs to be restored on an i5/OS system. At build time, the Save Licensed Program (SAVLICPGM) command is called to save the licensed program on the i5/OS build system. At install time, the Restore Licensed Program (RSTLICPGM) command is called to restore the licensed program to the target system.

System i (i5/OS) Licensed Program Options

Option

Description

Licensed Program Identifier

Specifies the seven-character identifier of the licensed program that is saved. In i5/OS, the Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command can be used to find the identifiers for installed licensed programs.

Language

Specifies the native language version (NLV) used for the save operation. Specify one of the following options:

• *PRIMARY—Select to user the system’s primary language.
• *ALL—Select to use all languages that the licensed program supports.
• Other—Select and specify a four-character NLV identifier. In i5/OS, the Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command can be used to find the available NLVs for a licensed program.

Note • This parameter is ignored if the Object Type is *PGM.

Release Level

Specifies the version, release, and modification level (VRM) of the licensed program to save.

• *ONLY—Use if only one VRM is installed for the licensed program.
• Other—Select and specify the release level in the format VxRxMx, where x is a digit (0-9). In i5/OS, the Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command can be used to find the installed release levels for a licensed program.

Object Type

Specifies which objects are saved.

• *ALL—Use to save both the program and the language objects.
• *PGM—Use to save only the program objects.
• *LNG—Use to save only the language objects.

Option

Specifies the licensed program options to save.

• Enter *BASE to save the base part of the licensed program.
• Specify the option number to save (01-99). In i5/OS, the Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command can be used to find the available options of a licensed program.

Target Release

Specifies the minimum supported release level of the operating system on which you intend to restore and use the licensed program. Select one of the following options:

• *CURRENT
• *PRV
• Other—Enter a six-character release value in VxRxMx format (where x is a digit 0‑9).

Re-save on Each Build

Choose one of the following options:

• Yes—The licensed program is re-saved and transferred during the build. Choose this option if the licensed program has been changed and repackaged since the last build.
• No—The build process uses the last copy of the licensed program that it saved and transferred to the local system (if one exists).

Additional Save Parameters

Enter additional parameters to pass to the SAVLICPGM command at build time.

Additional Restore Parameters

Enter additional parameters to pass to the RSTLICPGM command at install time.
