Installation Process

CA IDMS Server for z/OS is distributed on the CA IDMS Server r16.1 CD. The installation process consists of three parts:

  1. Copy the distribution files from the directory on the CA IDMS Server r16.1 CD to any directory on your hard disk
  2. Upload the distribution files to z/OS using FTP.
  3. Build and populate the CA IDMS Server HFS directory structure.

    This part of the installation process is performed with a series of commands entered into the OMVS shell. The user ID used to perform some of the steps may need to be authorized to allocate data sets on SMS packs, or to set up a new OMVS group and owner, depending on the steps performed.

CA IDMS Server for z/OS calls CAICCI directly, and does not use the OMVS interface, libcci.so.
