IBM CBIPO

If you have the IBM CBIPO, there is a procedure using the IPOUPDTE or the CPPUPDTE utility to facilitate editing the install sample JCL job members. This cannot be used to edit the SMP/E install sample job members.

You can review sample JCL PDS members @VQIPOJC, @VQIPOIN, and @VQIPDMY to use the batch utility that globally changes the sample JCL PDS for the parameter value strings to the desired values. The following is an explanation of each member.

@VQIPOJC

Sample job JCL to execute batch program

@VQIPOIC

Sample parameter string to change SYSIN member

@VQIPDMY

Sample prerequisite member to rename for batch program use

Use the sample member @VQIPOIN when using IPOUPDTE or CPPUPDTE to edit the CA Datacom installation. Each entry consists of STRING1<STRING2<. In each case, STRING1 represents what currently is in the installation job members in the sample JCL PDS. Change STRING2 so that the worksheet values for your installation are incorporated.

Since the batch JCL editing procedure changes all members, you should create a backup copy of the sample JCL PDS before executing @VQIPOJC.

IPOUPDTE or CPPUPDTE requires $$$COIBM to be present in your environment. If it is not present, rename @VQIPDMY as $$$COIBM.

Although the global edit procedure eliminates the requirements for almost all manual editing of install jobs, you should still review the instruction block in each job for any optional changes.
