Operation Notes

AIFGLOBINSTALL is the programmatic equivalent of executing the INSTOS installation utility. AIFGLOBINSTALL (or INSTOS) must be executed on all systems containing code that calls operating system AIFs (for example, your application). It should be executed once per installation. However, it can be executed each time your application is run without side effects. Your application must execute AIFGLOBINSTALL prior to calling any other operating system AIFs.

AIFGLOBINSTALL will fail if not enough disk space is located on LDEV 1. If this occurs, you must create additional free space on LDEV 1 before attempting to re-execute code that contains the call to AIFGLOBINSTALL.
