Dynamic Allocation for the MACLIB Library Fails During Software Installation

Symptom:

When creating an SMP/E environment during product installation, I see the following error in the message log:

Dynamic allocation of input data set member SYS1.MACLIB(GIMZPOOL) failed. DD: ZP3 RC: 4 Error code: 0x1708 Info code: 0x2.

Reason:

CA CSM cannot locate the default MACLIB library, SYS1.MACLIB. For example, the library was renamed.

Solution:

Define a new Java runtime option maclib.dsn variable in the SAMPLIB(MSMLIB) member. Verify that the new data set name does not exceed 38 characters.

Example:

IJO="$IJO -Dmaclib.dsn=CUSTOM.MACLIB"
