What is involved in migrating from ThruPut Manager version 18.02 to 22.4?
This Knowledge Article is a general guide on migrating from ThruPut Manager version 18.02 to 22.4. For full details on installing and configuring TM 22.4, visit the documentation site for TM 22.4 .

ThruPut Manager 18.02 and 22.4 can operate in the same JESplex (MAS) without any toleration requirements, although it is strongly suggested to have the latest cumulative maintenance applied to both FMID's: TM 18.02 and 22.4 can share the same Control File (CF), Volume Information File (VIF), and Contention Management File (CMF). They can also use the same JAL/DAL, TMPARM settings (in JES2 initialization statements), TMSS initialization statements. The main changes are the names of the load modules used in the JES2 initialization statements, TMSS PROC JCL, and the JCL used to process JAL source into JALTEXT.

For customers who have an ARCRPEXT exit installed:

Note that the ThruPut Manager version of that exit shipped in DTMLINK(ARCRPEXT) was deleted with the APPLY of PTF TMT8106. Visit the following technical bulletin page below and read the "Special handling of DFSMShsm exit ARCRPEXT" section: The following is a summary of the basic steps required to get TM 22.4 installed:
  1. Visit the TM 22.4 Notices page for Technical Bulletins (which includes enhancement details) and Release notes: Version 22.4 of BMC AMI Ops Automation for Batch ThruPut;
  2. Visit BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) website to order ThruPut Manager 22.4;
  3. Follow the TM/Quikload method instructions to install TM 22.4;
    • TM 22.4 must be installed via IPL.
  4. Edit the JCL shipped in INSTALL(TMVERIFY) to include a STEPLIB DD using the SMP/E target for DTMLINK. The output of the job will display the PTF level and APAR maintenance that has been applied.
  5. Once all members of the JESplex (MAS) are at the same PTF level for TM 22.4, use the JCL shipped in INSTALL(DTMJALP) to re-process existing TM 18.02 JAL/DAL using PGM=DTMJALP8 for TM 22.4. This will ensure that any new JAL/DAL features for TM 22.4 are available for use.
