JCL Editing

After running the install jobs to install the SMP/E libraries, the next step of the installation or upgrade process is to download a sample JCL PDS that contains all the JCL necessary to install or upgrade the CA Datacom/DB environment. Each job included in the sample PDS has a "flower box" at the top that describes the changes required to edit the JCL to meet the installation requirements for your site. The following is a sample:

//* INSTRUCTIONS:
//*      ***  CHANGE JOB CARD AS NECESSARY FOR YOUR SITE.
//*   1. PERFORM A GLOBAL CHANGE OF "CAI.SMPCSI.CSI"
//*      TO THE NAME OF THE SMP/E CSI DATA SET.
//*      WORKSHEET PARAMETER 1
//*   2. PERFORM A GLOBAL CHANGE OF "CAI.SHLQ"
//*      TO THE HIGH LEVEL QUALIFIER OF THE SMP/E DATA SETS.
//*      WORKSHEET PARAMETER 2
//*   4. PERFORM A GLOBAL CHANGE OF "BDC0SS"
//*      TO THE VOLSER OF THE INSTALL TAPE.
//*      WORKSHEET PARAMETER 24
//*   5. PERFORM A GLOBAL CHANGE OF "TAPE"
//*      TO THE UNIT TYPE OF THE INSTALL TAPE, E.G."CART"
//*      WORKSHEET PARAMETER 25

The list of JCL "edits" needed is covered in Installation Worksheets.

You can choose to edit each job manually according to the flower box instructions or you can use a PDS utility to perform the edits. In the following sections, we discuss a few available PDS editing tools. Remember to save the original sample PDS before doing any mass edits in case you want to redo your edits.
