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.

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 SCMSEDIT 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 SCMSEDIT 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 SCMSEDIT macro each time you open a new SAMPJCL member. To edit all SAMPJCL members simultaneously, read and follow the instructions in the SCMAREAD member, and submit the SCMEDALL member.

  2. Open the SAMPJCL member SCM1HOLD in an edit session and execute the SCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

    SCM1HOLD is customized.

  3. Submit SCM1HOLD.

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

  4. Open the SAMPJCL member SCM2ALL in an edit session and execute the SCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

    SCM2ALL is customized.

  5. Submit SCM2ALL.

    This job produces the following results:

  6. If your product requires HFS or if you want to install a feature of the product that requires HFS, complete the following substeps:

    Note: You can customize the supplied HFS JCL to zFS, if your site requires it.

    If you do not use ZFS or HFS, skip this step and proceed to the next step.

    1. Open the SAMPJCL member ccc2ALLU in an edit session and execute the SCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

      Note: All instances of ccc in this section indicate a three-character component code based on the FMID.

      ccc2ALLU is customized.

    2. Submit ccc2ALLU.

      This job allocates your HFS data sets.

    3. Open the SAMPJCL member ccc2MKD in an edit session and execute the SCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

      ccc2MKD is customized.

    4. Submit ccc2MKD.

      This job creates all directories and mounts the file system.

  7. Open the SAMPJCL member SCM3CSI in an edit session and execute the SCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

    SCM3CSI is customized.

  8. Submit SCM3CSI.

    This job produces the following results:

  9. If your product requires HFS or if you want to install a feature of the product that requires HFS, complete the following substeps:

    Note: You can customize the supplied HFS JCL to zFS, if your site requires it.

    If you do not use ZFS or HFS, skip this step.

    1. Open the SAMPJCL member ccc3CSIU in an edit session and execute the SCMSEDIT macro from the command line.

      ccc3CSIU is customized.

    2. Submit ccc3CSIU.

      This job customizes the CSI by adding the DDDEFs associated with the directory.
