Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for installing and/or updating an application instance on a target mainframe. Packaged code, received by the target mainframe from a source mainframe in a deployment package, is executable on the target mainframe. The deployment package also includes a memory dump of control blocks of a source application running on the source mainframe. The control blocks constitute each program of the source application. The source application corresponds to the application instance to be installed/updated. The packaged code, when executed, is programmed to cause the target mainframe to: identify an area of memory of the target mainframe into which the control blocks from the memory dump are to be loaded; load the control blocks from the memory dump into the identified area of memory; and cause the target mainframe to branch to a first address in the identified area of the memory, in the installing/updating.
