This is an introduction to getting IBM's OS/360 operating system loaded and running on the Hercules emulator for the System/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture systems. It assumes you have some familiarity with the 370, and with OS; in particular, you need to have some understanding of JCL, and of OS/360 (or later versions, like MVS or OS/390) usage and operation. It does not purport to be an introduction to the world of the 370.
Updated 21 Feb 2003: HASP does not work yet in this system, although others have succeeded in getting it running. SMF was added, but turned off, in order to fix one HASP problem. Updates will be posted to the OS/360 on Hercules web site as they become available.
Updated 10 Feb 2003: Completely overhauled. Many changes have happened to Hercules since this document was last revised in February 2000, and a rewrite was long overdue. In addition, many more resources have become available, including HASP, TSO/TCAM, and several classic modifications tapes. The stage 1 gen has been changed a bit, and configuration files written to work with previous versions of this document will need revision.
