5.1.6.8.2 Setup

The following checklist is used to enable the connection from
MICF Reporting Job Stream output to Q&R Workstation.

___ 1. The root directory must be located on a hardware
       device that supports sharing between your mainframe
       UNIX environment and a Windows environment, such as a
       NAS (Network Attached Storage) device.

___ 2. Create a USS File System to store the MICF generated
       output to be processed by the Q&R Workstation.

       NOTE:  The FILESYSTYPE should be TYPE(NFS).

       With the z/OS NFS server, the client has remote access
       to z/OS UNIX files from a client workstation. Using
       the Network File System, the client can mount all or
       part of the file system and make it appear as part of
       its local files system.

       See the IBM Unix System Services guide for
       documentation on creating and mounting a shared file
       system and the IBM NFS (Network File System) Guide and
       Reference for information on using, customizing,
       operating, tuning, and diagnosing the z/OS Network
       File System (z/OS NFS).

___ 3. Map this device to your Q&R distributed server
       machine.  It can be mapped using Windows Explorer, Map
       Network Drive or by using the NET USE command.  Either
       way, the drive must be allocated so it is available
       whenever the server machine is restarted.

___ 4. To view output created by a MICF Reporting Job Stream
       directory from Q&R Query Output Retrieval, you must
       start the Q&R distributed server using credentials
       authorized in the mainframe UNIX (USS) environment to
       access the files in the HFS/zFS directory.  This
       is not necessary for RMWSLOAD only access.

___ 5. Review the Shared MICF Options, Foreground Execution
       Parameters definitions to assign defaults to be used
       for defining reporting job streams and the MICF Web
       Publishing and Q&R Integration options.

___ 6. Review any existing reporting job streams and modify
       the MWP (MICF Web Publishing) and Q&R Integration
       execution options as needed.

       For example, you might want to have the Q&R Mainframe
       Server automatically notify the Q&R Distributed Server
       to schedule RMWSLOAD when the MICF Reporting Job
       Stream completes.

___ 7. Define the Q&R root directory to be used by the
       Q&R Integration feature.  This can be the same
       directory used by MICF Web Publishing.

       Refer to the PIOM Section 5.7 for further information
       on the activation of USS and HFS/zFS support.

       You can use this UNIX mkdir command to create the Q&R
       Integration root directory in your HFS/zFS:

       mkdir -p /u/users/CAMICS
