This page describes the steps required to upgrade from Rocket Model 204 version 7.4 to version 7.5, on the IBM® z/VM® CMS operating system.

For information on the new features available in version 7.5, see the 7.5 Release notes.

In order to upgrade to Model 204 version 7.5, you must have version 7.4 and various Early Warnings installed on your system..

To upgrade to version 7.5 simply download, upload, and link the 7.5 object modules available from the downloads page to install the 7.5 components.

Before you begin

  • In order to upgrade to version 7.5, you must have version 7.4 and Early Warnings for Dictionary/204 through 740DI016 installed on your system.
  • For information on Early Warnings, log in to the Rocket Customer Portal.
  • For system requirements for version 7.5, see the 7.5 Release notes.
  • You must have either a Rocket M204 user ID or a Sirius user ID to download the installation files.
  • The object library has the authorization zap (covering your licensed processors) preapplied, so you do not need to get a new authorization zap from the website.
    (The preapplied zap will authorize Model 204 itself and any separately purchased products such as SirScan.)
  • The object library also has the maintenance zaps (as of the time the stream was prepared) preapplied, so you do not need to apply any maintenance as part of this installation. (You will only need to apply any new maintenance when it becomes available for this release.)
