Step 3: Create the Installation Directory in the HFS

Under OMVS, create the CA IDMS Server installation directory in the HFS, referred to here as /idmsdir. If you allocated a new HFS, the OMVS superuser must perform the following steps:

Create a mount point and mount the new HFS
Declare the owning group and user for the mount point
Set up initial file permissions
Execute the following commands, invoked by entering the TSO OMVS command:
```
mkdir -m 775 /idmsdir
/samples/mountx /idmsdir IDMSSRV.HFS
chown ISADMIN:ISGROUP /idmsdir
```
Note: File permission bits are set to 775, indicating that only the owning user or users connected to the owning group, can update this directory. All other users have only read and execute authority.

To make this mount permanent, update the BPXPRMxx member in SYS1.PARMLIB and add a mount entry. The following is an example of the statement to add:
```
MOUNT FILESYSTEM('HFSDSN')
```
```
MOUNTPOINT('/idmsdir')
TYPE(HFS) MODE(RDWR)
```
HFSDSN

Specifies the name of the CA IDMS Server HFS data set.

idmsdir

Specifies the name of the CA IDMS Server installation directory.
