Install CA Chorus

Use this process and the CA Chorus Software Manager (CA CSM) documentation to install CA Chorus. After you begin working in CA Chorus Software Manager, a wizard guides you through the steps.

Important! CA Chorus supports only zFS file systems. HFS file systems are not supported.

Note: Use the CA Chorus installation worksheets to record the values that are used at your site for the installation data sets.

Stop and read the Site Preparation Guide before continuing.Stop and read the Site Preparation Guide before continuing. Do not continue until you have completed all security and prerequisite work as noted in the CA Chorus Platform Site Preparation Guide and the applicable discipline Site Preparation Guide.

Follow these steps:

  1. Review Installation Methods to identify which applies to your site.
  2. Confirm that you have completed all prerequisite tasks, including running the ETJI095x security job, as described in the Site Preparation Guide.
  3. Log in to CA CSM.
  4. Confirm that CA CSM is configured with the system setting to use Product Specific File System. Use the Settings tab to verify this setting. Click Software Installation, scroll to SIS Base Install-File System in the right pane, and verify that the bullet for Product Specific File System is selected.
  5. Acquire the product using CA CSM (Products tab) and download the following product installation packages, and any maintenance packages:

    Important! In the following steps, you install the Third-Party Prerequisites first. You then install the CA Chorus product pax file into the CA Chorus Third-Party Prerequisites (JBoss) CSI.

  6. Install Third-Party Prerequisites:
    1. Click the Products tab, select the product gen level, locate the CA Chorus Third-Party Prerequisites product package, and select Install.

      If the package was acquired external to CA CSM, complete the following steps:

      • Click Install External Package.
      • Enter the location of the package.
      • Click OK.
    2. Confirm the package data under Introduction, accept the license agreement, and click Next.
    3. Select an installation type.
    4. Click Next at the Prerequisites panel.
    5. Create a CSI and set up the global zone, new target zone, and new distribution zone. In most cases, the default values are acceptable; however, update the following parameters:

      Note: One of the SMP/E libraries created by this step is the SMPPTS data set, which contains published maintenance. This data set must be able to grow as new maintenance is published. We recommend that this data set be separated from other libraries and allocated on a volume that has sufficient empty space (approximately 2500 cylinders) to avoid E37 abends during the Receive processing.

      Important! These values are reused during the CA Chorus configuration, and installation and configuration of the different disciplines. Record the values in a text file using the CA CSM Task ID provided in the Summary Report. Conversely, record them in the CA Chorus installation worksheets.

      Important! While CA CSM offers a PDS option, you must accept PDSE for SMP/E libraries and user libraries. PDSE is the default.

      USS Group Name

      Specifies the default USS group (YOURGRP) of the user that is installing CA Chorus. Obtain this value using the id command from USS to list the user ID through your security system. For example, the IBM default OMVSGRP is a common value for this field.

      HLQ for zFS File Systems

      Specifies a high-level qualifier for the CA Chorus zFS file systems. This value can be the same value that is used for the target libraries, the default, or a different high-level qualifier.

      Java Home Directory

      Specifies the USS directory (without a trailing forward slash) where Java is installed. This directory contains the /bin directory and other files. CA Chorus requires IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 7 Release 0 Modification 0 Service Release 2,5 or 7 (5655-W44) or IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition, Version 7 Release 1 (5655-W44), including optional JZOS batch launcher.

      USS Target Directory Name

      Specifies the target directory name where CA Chorus is installed. CA CSM mounts a zFS file system in this location so the directory must be a valid USS file system mounting point. If the directory does not exist, it is created. If the directory exists, it must be empty without any file systems mounted to it. If it exists, you are prompted to confirm that it is empty.

      For example, /cai/cetjr3m0 is an acceptable value for this field.

    6. Review the summary of your selections for the CA Chorus installation, and click Install.

      A progress window opens.

      If an error occurs during processing, CA CSM prompts you on the Progress tab of the progress window. To review and bypass prompts for certain errors, continue from the Progress tab.

      Note: If you are not authorized to mount the existing zFS data set, you are prompted to mount the zFS manually.

      Note: If an error occurs during processing, select Show Results and click the failed step to retrieve the generated log files. Conversely, click Download zipped output to download the entire zip file.

      A confirmation message indicates that the product is installed. Note the CA CSM task ID for the JBoss installation.

    7. (Optional) Click Show Results to review an installation summary.
    8. (Optional) Access the CA CSM message log to create a text file of the user parameters that are specified during installation.
  7. Install the CA Chorus product pax file (CETJ300, CETJ301, and CC2D750 FMIDs) into the CA Chorus Third-Party Prerequisites (JBoss) CSI by following the installation wizard. Note the following points as you use the wizard:
