Installation and Customization › Overview

Overview

To install the CA IDMS Performance Monitor by itself or together with other CA IDMS products, use the CA IDMS installation media.

Follow these steps::

1. Code any installation parameters specific to Performance Monitor.
2. Generate the installation job control.
3. (Optional) Modify the parameters of #PMOPT, the macro that specifies runtime options for Performance Monitor.
4. Execute the installation job stream.
5. (Optional) Modify the parameters of the #PMGEN macro embedded in the three Performance Monitor initialization modules.
6. Define report/billing groups for the Application Monitor.
7. (Optional, z/OS only) Start the IDMSINFO address space if you want to enable monitoring a remote CV.

   Note: For more information about starting the IDMSINFO address space, see the section IDMSINFO Service Provider in the CA IDMS System Operations Guide.

8. (Optional) Add external security product definitions to authorize canceling a remote CA IDMS task:
   • Create a resource class (CDT profile) of CA@IDMSI.
   • Follow the pattern "TASK.targetCVname.taskcode" for resource names. Control authority is required.

   Note: The preceding example applies to IBM RACF, but can be adapted to other security systems such as CA Top Secret or CA ACF2.

9. Restart the system to activate Performance Monitor.

This chapter provides information about #PMOPT and #PMGEN and describes how you can define report/billing groups.

Note: For more information about installation, see the CA IDMS Installation Guide for your operating system.
