Event Management Requirements

Event Management has the following installation requirements:

• An IBM supported z/OS version, including full-function OMVS and zFS physical file system implemented.
• The user ID for the OMVS address space must have UPDATE access to the zFS data sets if external security protects the data sets.
• Ensure that the user ID used to install Event Management has superuser authority and read access to the following resources:

  BPX.FILEATTR.APF

  BPX.FILEATTR.PROGCTL

  BPX.SERVER

• IBM HTTP Server
• Java runtime environment at the JDK 1.4, 1.5, or 1.6 level

  Important! z/OS includes the Java environment with the web server so that both are installed together. If you have not previously used Java on z/OS, you can order a copy on tape from IBM. Be certain to install all the prerequisites and follow the installation documentation exactly. Verify that you can run some of the IBM-provided Java sample programs before attempting to start Event Management.

• BPXPRMxx setting MAXASSIZE > 128 MB
• BPXPRMxx setting MAXPROCUSER > 100
• BPXPRMxx setting MAXCPUTIME = 86400
• Disk space: (RO and RW zFS) approximately 900 cylinders total

  Note: Temporary HFS space is also required. Ensure that the temporary HFS file has at least 50-MB space available.

• Security definitions for these resources in class CAIUNI are shown in the following table for using the optional Java GUI:

The following lists the minimum storage requirements for each Event Management distribution library. This list does not necessarily represent the actual distribution library allocation that is provided during the installation. Data set allocation JCL and (MSM) XML contains a block size of 0 for FB data sets with an LRECL of 80. This change was made to follow both the IBM SMP/E packaging standards, and the CA Technologies packaging standards. Specifying BLKSIZE=0 allows your system to use the most efficient block size for these data sets.
