FOCUS includes an automated installation and maintenance procedure named ISETUP. You must use this procedure in order to install or apply maintenance to FOCUS.
ISETUP can download files from a cartridge or from an Information Builders FTP site.
Note: In order to download files from the Information Builders FTP site, you must use a z/OS ID that has access to FTP, TSO RECEIVE, and to the production and test FOCUS libraries.
There are aspects of the installation process that are not handled by ISETUP. These are detailed in this document and still require manual intervention.
Important: ISETUP unloads or downloads the files for all data adapters (Interfaces). Therefore, you do not have to allocate and unload or download the data adapter files manually. However, using the instructions in the relevant Installation Guides for those data adapters, you must reinstall every data adapter to which you want to have access in the installed version of FOCUS.
ISETUP asks you for the high-level qualifier for your FOCUS data sets. Based on this qualifier and a list of all of the standard data set names (low level qualifiers), ISETUP installs all the necessary FOCUS libraries. The list of low level qualifiers ISETUP uses is in member FOCSNAME in the F.HOME.DATA data set. If you do not want to use the standard data set names, see Specifying Non-Standard Data Set Names.
The ISETUP procedure is an interactive process that uses ISPF panels. If you are:
Note: There are separate domestic and international download sites. The domestic site is named downloadftp.ibi.com, and the international site is named emeaftp.ibi.com. The purpose of having separate sites is to make the download performance efficient for both domestic and international customers. Both sites contain identical files.
Important! You must use the version of ISETUP that comes with your FOCUS release to install FOCUS. For example, if you are installing FOCUS 7.7.03 gen 771, you cannot reuse the F.HOME.DATA library that you used to install gen 770.
Installing without the use of ISETUP is no longer supported. Additionally, you cannot use previous versions of your installation JCL to install FOCUS 7.7.x.
You must execute ISETUP from the ISPF command shell.
You should not use ISETUP to overwrite your current production FOCUS data sets with new versions.

The initial steps differ depending on whether you are unloading from a cartridge or downloading from an FTP site.
The following is a high level summary of how to receive the FOCUS release or maintenance electronically:
Note: The FOCUS installation batch job created by ISETUP should take approximately 15 to 30 minutes of run time to complete.
When this is complete, you have a basic test environment with the FOCUS installation or maintenance applied which is ready to be tested using the verification standards of your site.
