Installing Your Product Using Pax ESD › Prepare the SMP/E Environment for a Pax Installation

Prepare the SMP/E Environment for a Pax Installation

The following steps describe the process to install products using native SMP/E JCL:

1. Download external HOLDDATA.
2. Allocate product data sets and SMP/E data sets.
3. Create an SMP/E environment.
4. Receive base functions and HOLDDATA.
5. Download and RECEIVE PTFs from http://ca.com/support.
6. Run an SMP/E APPLY CHECK operation.
7. Apply base functions using SELECT GROUPEXTEND.
8. Run an SMP/E ACCEPT CHECK operation.
9. Accept base functions using SELECT GROUPEXTEND.
10. Configure the product according to your site requirements.

The members that are used in this procedure prepare the data sets, initialize the zones, and create the DDDEFs for your product.

For information about the members, see the comments in the JCL.

Follow these steps:

1. Customize the macro DCMSEDIT with your site-specific information and then copy the macro to your SYSPROC location. Replace the rightmost parameters for each ISREDIT CHANGE command. Each time you edit an installation member, type DCMSEDIT on the command line, and press Enter to replace the defaults with your specifications.

   The macro is ready to customize the yourHLQ.SAMPJCL members.

   Note: Set the DASD HLQ to the same value specified for yourHLQ within the JCL that is used to unzip the pax file.

   Note: The following steps include instructions to execute the DCMSEDIT macro each time you open a new SAMPJCL member. To edit all SAMPJCL members simultaneously, read and follow the instructions in the DCMAREAD member, and submit the DCMEDALL member.

2. Open the SAMPJCL member DCM1HOLD in an edit session and execute the DCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

   DCM1HOLD is customized.

3. Submit DCM1HOLD.

   This job downloads the error and FIXCAT HOLDDATA from http://ca.com/support.

4. Open the SAMPJCL member DCM2ALL in an edit session and execute the DCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

   DCM2ALL is customized.

5. Submit DCM2ALL.

   This job produces the following results:

   • The target and distribution data sets for your product are created.
   • Unique SMPLTS, SMPMTS, SMPSCDS, and SMPSTS data sets for this target zone are created.
6. Open the SAMPJCL member DCM3CSI in an edit session and execute the DCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

   DCM3CSI is customized.

7. Submit DCM3CSI.

   This job produces the following results:

   • The CSI data set is defined.
   • The SMPPTS and SMPLOG data sets are allocated.
   • The global, target, and distribution zones are initialized.
   • The DDDEF entries for your product are created.
   • The DDDEFs for the required SMP/E data sets are created.
