3.8.1.1 Unload the Distribution Medium
__ 1. Define Catalog Index Sharedprefixes
Define the catalog index for the sharedprefix.
No action is required if the high-level node-name
already has been defined as an alias in the master
catalog.
+---------------------------------------------------+
| Reference(s): Section 3.2.1 |
+---------------------------------------------------+
__ 2. Install CA Common Services and LMP Keys
Ensure that CA Common Services is operational.
CA License Management Program (LMP), one of the CA
Common Services, is required before you can install
or run CA MICS.
To run CA MICS r11 or higher, you must define the
keys needed for CA LMP.
+---------------------------------------------------+
| Reference(s): Section 3.2.2 |
+---------------------------------------------------+
__ 3. Review Cover Letter and PMLs
Review the cover letter and associated product
maintenance letters (PML) for the latest important
technical information.
__ 4. Copy Load Files
Copy the files which load the CA MICS system.
To start the installation, two "tapeload" data sets
must be created. They contain JCL and load modules
that are required to complete the installation.
To create the data sets:
- See Section 3.2.3.1 if installing from ESD PAX.
- See Section 3.2.3.2 if installing from tape.
+---------------------------------------------------+
| References: Sections 3.2.3, 3.2.3.1, 3.2.3.2 |
+---------------------------------------------------+
__ 5. Load Production Libraries
Load the CA MICS production libraries using ESD PAX or
tape. They both contain all code and documentation
for the entire CA MICS product line in a compressed
format. The installation job uses the CA LMP keys to
identify and decode the modules that belong to your
licensed CA MICS products.
Modules are written to disk by executing the program
named LPEBLDD. It runs as a "nonauthorized" program.
Some mainframe security systems, such as CA Top
Secret, have a feature that restricts nonauthorized
programs from writing authorized load modules. (An
authorized load module is link-edited with an
attribute of AC(1).) If your site has this security
feature activated and is licensed for the CA MICS DASD
Space Collector (VCC), then the load job will fail
with an S913 abend while trying to write an authorized
VCC load module. To prevent this abend, request your
security administrator to permit LPEBLDD to write
authorized load modules.
To load the production libraries:
- See Section 3.2.4.1 if installing from ESD PAX.
- See Section 3.2.4.2 If installing from tape.

__ 6. Retain Distribution Tape and Load Libraries
Retain the "tapeload" libraries for future optional
product installation. They are:
o sharedprefix.MICS.TAPELOAD.CNTL
o sharedprefix.MICS.TAPELOAD.LOAD
In addition, if you installed CA MICS from a tape,
retain the tape for future optional product
installation.
If you installed from ESD PAX, there is no need to
retain the interim libraries since they can be
downloaded from Support Online when they are needed.
__ 7. (CONDITIONAL) Conversion to SAS 9.1.3 ONLY
If you are converting to SAS 9.1.3, the SAS Autocall
library (sasprefix.W0.AUTOLIB) must be converted to a
fixed block data set to address issues documented in
SAS Usage Note SN-013990. Review this SAS Usage Note
before proceeding with the rest of this conversion
checklist.
This data set should be used only for CA MICS, and is
only necessary for SAS 9.1.3. The fixed-block version
of the SAS Autocall library must be created with an
LRECL of 80 and a BLKSIZE that is a multiple of 80.
Note that standard IBM utilities, such as IEBCOPY,
will not copy variable blocked data sets to fixed
block.
The following is a sample job using the SAS provided
VBGT72 macro, referenced in SN-013990 to copy the SAS
Autocall library. VBGT72 must be downloaded from the
SAS institute support site before it can be used. In
this example, VBGT72 was downloaded and then saved
as member VBGT72 in sasprefix.VBGT72.LIBRARY:
// ....JOB....
//VBGT72 EXEC SAS
//VBGT72 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=sasprefix.VBGT72.LIBRARY
//ISASAUTO DD DISP=SHR,DSN=sasprefix.W0.AUTOLIB
//AUTOOUT DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DSN=micssasprefix.FB.W0.AUTOLIB,
// UNIT=unit,VOL=SER=volume,
// DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=6160),
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,1,45))
//SYSIN DD *
%INCLUDE VBGT72(VBGT72);
%VBGT72(indd=ISASAUTO);
//
The JCL will need to be modified before submission to
suit your site requirements.
Alternatively, the copy utility provided with ISPF
(Option 3.3) can be used.
