Task M9C0I017: Edit CA ACF2 for z/VM $PPF File

This task lets you modify the VM $PPF file.

Important!

• The CA ACF2 for z/VM sample $PPF file overrides the CP and CMS components in the IBM $PPF file. If you normally use the CPSFS and CMSSFS components, modify the CA ACF2 for z/VM $PPF file to specify CPSFS (instead of CP) and CMSSFS (instead of CMS) on the $PPF component override statements.
• To use component names other than the default names (CP, CPTEST, CMS and CMSTEST), you must manually compile the $PPF file by issuing a VMFPPF command.
• If you changed the name of the CP CNTRL file in task M9C0I006 or the name of the CMS CNTRL file in task M9C0I008, change the $PPF file to reflect the names of the CNTRL files.

1. Select task M9C0I017 from the Task Selection Menu.

   The following panel appears:

   M9C0I017            Edit CA ACF2 for z/VM VM $PPF File        CA ACF2 for z/VM
   
           This step allows you to edit the CA ACF2 for z/VM $PPF file.          
                     Your current version of VM is Z630.                      
                                                                                  
   (A)          Do you want to edit the ACFZ630  $PPF file?  Y                
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
        If you elect to edit your own $PPF override file, remember that it      
        should be created in such a way that it overrides ACFZ630 $PPF.         
                                                                                  
                          Press PF2 to perform this task.      
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   PF1=Help     2=Edit      3=End       4=Return      5=          6=
   PF7=         8=          9=         10=           11=         12= 
   

2. (Optional) Override the $PPF file name by typing over the ACFZ630 entry and then entering Y at the end of the line.
3. Press PF2 to edit the $PPF file.

   You see the following panel:

    M9C0EDIT/M9C0I017     ACFZ630 $PPF E                   CA ACF2 for z/VM

   Customize the sample override $PPF file for your installation.
    
   The sample $PPF file is used to override your base component $PPF
   files for CP and CMS assemblies and nucleus generations without
   having to modify your base $PPF.
    
   The sample override $PPF file assumes the following:
    
     A. The production components are CP and CMS, while the test
    
   DB = Scroll directions backward     DF = Scroll directions forward

    ===>
   

4. Make modifications as necessary to the $PPF file, then enter the FILE command to save your changes.

   When processing is complete, a message appears on the panel, confirming that you modified and saved the $PPF file:

   M9C0I017       Edit CA ACF2 for z/VM VM $PPF File      CA ACF2 for z/VM 
    ===>
    
    ACFZ630 $PPF file modified and saved as ACFZ630 $PPF on 2A0.
    Press PF2 to compile this $PPF file and copy the resulting PPF file to
    2A0;
   

5. Press PF2 to compile the PPF file into a final PPF file that is used for system generation. You see the following message:

    VMFPPF ACFZ630 was successful; press PF3 to exit.
   

6. Press PF3 to return to the Task Selection Menu if the VMFPPF processing terminated without errors. If the VMFPPF terminated with errors, repeat the editing and compiling until the VMFPPF processing terminates successfully.
