VSAM AMSERV Support

CA ACF2 for z/VM provides standard CA ACF2 for z/VM validation for VSAM catalog management allocation and deallocation requests issued from programs or by the CMS AMSERV command. Installing CA ACF2 for z/VM VSAM AMSERV support involves front ending the IBM VSAM text file IGG0CLC9 with the CA ACF2 for z/VM ACFFEAMS text file. The installation follows:

1. You must install the GA version of CA ACF2 for z/VM r12 on both CP and CMS.
2. If you installed VSAM on your system and the tape contents loaded from this installation are still available, proceed to the next step. To install CA ACF2 for z/VM support for VSAM AMSERV, you need the VSAM tape contents on the system.

   If you did not install VSAM and the tape contents are not available, fully install VSAM and AMS first, without CA ACF2 for z/VM support. Follow the IBM installation procedures for VSAM and AMS. When you are ready to install CA ACF2 for z/VM VSAM AMSERV support, the tape contents loaded from the VSAM and AMS installation must remain on the system.

3. The ACFUTFEP utility front ends the IBM IGG0CLC9 text file with the CA ACF2 for z/VM ACFFEAMS text file to install CA ACF2 for z/VM VSAM AMSERV support. To run ACFUTFEP, enter the following command:

   ACFUTFEP IGG0CLC9 TEXT * ACFFEAMS TEXT *
   

For complete information on the ACFUTFEP utility program, see the Report and Utilities Guide.
