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.
  5. Apply base functions.
  6. Accept base functions.
  7. 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.

Establishing a hierarchical file system (HFS) may be required as part of the product installation or required as a feature of the product.

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

Follow these steps:

  1. Customize the macro BRNSEDIT 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 BRNSEDIT 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 BRNSEDIT macro each time you open a new SAMPJCL member. To edit all SAMPJCL members simultaneously, read and follow the instructions in the BRNAREAD member, and submit the BRNEDALL member.

  2. Open the SAMPJCL member BRN1HOLD in an edit session and execute the BRNSEDIT macro from the command line.

    BRN1HOLD is customized.

  3. Submit BRN1HOLD.
