5.7 Activating CA MICS USS and HFS Support

With the introduction of OS/390 UNIX System Services (USS), a
new file system was introduced. The Hierarchical File System
(HFS) is based on the directory structure used by most UNIX
systems.

Certain CA MICS features and products utilize USS services
and create HFS files.  For example, CA MICS Documentation
Conversion feature and the CA MICS Web Analyzer product
require access to USS services and HFS files.  It is very
likely that your installation is already running applications
using USS services and HFS files, and this section explains
how to enable CA MICS to these system services.

The following sections describe the processes required to
define the CA MICS Root Directory and enable CA MICS to the
USS and HFS services.
