Overview
This section provides an overview of the steps necessary to upgrade your XPAF
system.
Install the base software
Upgrading an existing XPAF 3.0 or 4.0 system to XPAF 5.0 simply requires installing
the XPAF 5.0 base software and latest maintenance. The XPAF 5.0 software, by
default, will reside in its own SMPE CSI.
Skip the installation of resources
Since no new resources have been added, or existing resource formats changed, with
XPAF 5.0, existing XPAF 3.0 and 4.0 resource libraries can be used with the XPAF 5.0
system.
Assemble and install any XPAF User exits
If you are using any XPAF user exits in your current XPAF system, you will need to
reassemble and install them in your 5.0 system. Refer to the “Installing User Exits”
section of the XPAF 5.0 User documentation (Page 3-43, PDF page 115) for additional
information.
Add the XPAF 5.0 license key
If you are upgrading from XPAF 4.0, copy your existing XPAF license string from the
XPAF 4.0 XINPARM(XINSLSTR) to your new XPAF 5.0 XINPARM PDS.
