4.1.3.2 Installation Checklist for non-CA MICS Sites
VCC can be installed at non-CA MICS (remote) sites. Data
collected by VCC running at the remote site must be
transported to the host for processing by VCA.
VCC is a separately licensed product and you are required to
pay a license fee for each site that runs it. For further
information, contact your CA sales representative.
To install VCC at a remote site, you must build a VCC remote
tape at the host site and then install it at the remote site.
After installation is complete, you must arrange to have the
data transported to your host site for VCA processing.
Complete Steps 1 through 4 to build a VCC remote tape at your
host site.
___ 1. Prepare the generation job.
Edit sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VCCBLD). Add a job card and
update the data set names with your sharedprefix.
___ 2. Generate the distribution tape.
Run sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VCCBLD). Ensure that the job
completes with a condition code of zero.
___ 3. Print the VCC documentation.
Use the CA MICS Workstation Facility (MWF) to print a copy of
the CA MICS Space Collector Option Guide or download and
print the PDF from http://ca.com/support.
___ 4. Ship the tape and the VCC guide to the remote site.
Complete the following steps at the remote site.
___ 5. Create the following JCL at the remote site. It will
load the remote VCC tape created at your host site.
//jobname JOB ...
//COPY EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY,REGION=512K
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT3 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1))
//SYSUT4 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1))
//#CNTL DD DSN=CAI.MICS.LIBLOAD.CNTL,
// DISP=SHR,DCB=DEN=4,
// UNIT=____,VOL=SER=______,
// LABEL=(1,SL,EXPDT=_____)
//CNTL DD DISP=SHR,DSN=yourprefix.MICS.CNTL
//SYSIN DD *
C I=#CNTL,O=CNTL
S M=VCCLOAD
/*
where:
UNIT= is the unit name of the tape device on which the tape
is to be mounted
VOL=SER= is the volume serial number of the tape
yourprefix.MICS.CNTL is the CNTL library of your choice.
Note: If the data set does not exist you must allocate it
as a PDS with the following DCB attributes:
RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=6160
Submit the job and ensure it completes with a condition code
of zero.
___ 6. Load the VCC modules into the installation libraries.
Edit the VCCLOAD member loaded in step 5 and complete
the JCL statements as follows:
//LOAD EXEC LOAD,DSP=NEW, <-- NEW,LIBRARIES ARE CREATED
//* <-- OLD, LIBRARIES MUST EXIST
// TUNIT='3480', <-- IS TAPE UNIT OK?
// TEXPDT=98000, <-- IS TAPE EXPDT OK?
// TVOL=______, <-- REQUIRED --<<
// LIBUNIT=SYSDA, <-- IS LIB DASD UNIT OK?
// LIBVOL=, <-- DO YOU NEED LIB DASD VOL?
// WKUNIT=SYSDA, <-- IS WORK DASD UNIT OK?
// BLOCK=6160, <-- LIBRARY BLKSIZE?
// VPREFIX='______________', <-- REQUIRED --<<
// VMICS= <-- MICSLEVEL?
where:
DSP= is the disposition of the VCC libraries.
TUNIT=, TEXPDT=, and TVOL= are the unit, expiration date,
and volume serial number of the distribution tape.
LIBUNIT= and LIBVOL= are the unit and volume serial numbers
of the DASD volume for the VCC libraries.
WKUNIT= is the unit for the SYSUT3 and SYSUT4 work data sets
needed by IEBCOPY.
VPREFIX= is the prefix for the VCC libraries. Note that this
is specified with no trailing period (e.g., SYS2.VCC rather
than SYS2.VCC.). Library names are assumed to be of the
form vprefix.ASM, vprefix.MACLIB, etc.
VMICS= adds the MICS level to your data set names. If you do
not want to include the additional level in your data set
names ensure that VMICS is null (that is, VMICS=). If you
want the MICS level added to your data set names ensure
that VMICS is set to "MICS." (that is, VMICS='MICS.').
NOTE: Users must exit the data set yourprefix.MICS.CNTL
for the VCCLOAD job to complete.
Submit the VCCLOAD job and verify the output of the job.
___ 7. Now the data sets for VCC have been loaded from tape.
From here on, the procedure is the same as in a full
CA MICS site. Continue with the full checklist in the
previous section 4.1.3.1.
