Specify Options Automatically Using the ISPF UI Tool

You can use the CA CSM Installation ISPF UI Tool, which helps to gather site values and prefill most of the options file parameters. You still may have to consult with other team members at your site to review these prefilled values.

Note: If your site uses Storage Management Subsystem (SMS) automatic class selection (ACS), ACS overrides the storage parameter values in the options file.

You can use the CA CSM Installation ISPF UI Tool to specify options automatically. The tool helps you perform the following tasks:

• Gather site values for most of the parameters
• Provide JCLs to create required USS file systems, and make edits to this options file before installing CA CSM

Your 3270 emulator must be able to support ISPF dialogs that are up to 35 rows.

Note: If the setting that shows the ISPF command line at the bottom of the dialog is enabled, the ISPF UI Tool may not display some ISPF dialogs correctly. It may result in displaying an option on the bottom line of the ISPF dialog and out of place with the other options. To avoid this situation, exit the ISPF UI Tool, temporarily disable this option, and then start the UI Tool. You can later enable this option again.

Important! The UI Tool does not detect the complete hostname when the hostname is longer than 26 characters.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to TSO/ISPF option 6 and run the following command:

   exec 'data_set_name(#RUNTOOL)'
   

   data_set_name

   Defines the name of the CA CSM Installation ISPF UI Tool z/OS data set extracted using UNZIPJCL.

   Example: CAI.MF20.MSMI.UITOOL

   The main ISPF panel appears.

2. Enter 1 to gather your site values for prefilling the options file parameters.

   You are prompted to provide the Java home path and MSMSetup directory path.

   The programs located in the USS MSMSetup folder get executed through this interface and it gathers site values for some of the parameters. The gathered values are stored in an XML file. This file is used to prefill the options file queries for easier and faster editing of the CA CSM installation options file.

3. Enter 6 or 7 to edit the options file.

   The options in this group let you prefill the options file with site-gathered values, or edit it directly from TSO using the ISPF editor.

   Using prefilled site values

   Use this option (option 6) to review all the installation option parameters and their prefilled value. The values are already included with Installer-set defaults to facilitate editing and reviewing.

   • Values that are prefaced with S indicate gathered site values.
   • Values that are prefaced with D indicate product default values.
   • Values that are prefaced with U indicate that the value has been edited.

   Enter / before each parameter to display the available values (S/D/U), which you can also select and modify.

   Parameters are listed on multiple pages. You can move forward (Enter) and backward (PF3) to review each screen after all the parameters have been edited and verified.

   The ISPF UI tool edits all the panels and it verifies them. Then the tool displays the path and command to invoke the installation utility.

   Using ISPF Editor

   Use this option (option 7) to edit the options file manually using the ISPF editor from TSO/ISPF.

After the CA CSM Installer is invoked, if any of the parameter validations fail, you can edit the options file again.
