How to Implement ReportCenter

Important! The steps to migrate ReportCenter differ slightly from a new installation.

Before you start, you must install your CA NetMaster product.

To implement ReportCenter, follow these steps:

1. Print the ReportCenter implementation worksheet.

   As you progress through the implementation steps, fill in the items in the worksheet. You need these items when you customize your ReportCenter control region.

2. Install the mainframe Java environment.

   This process requires IBM program material and documentation.

3. Implement one of the following ReportCenter databases:
   • CA Datacom/AD

     This requires CA program material and documentation.

   • DB2

     This requires IBM program material and documentation.

4. Implement UNIX System Services Authorization.
5. Install ReportCenter.

   Before you start installing, you must have an HFS file system ready. Use the CA NetMaster installation facility to generate the JCL to perform the SMP/E installation of ReportCenter. Submit each job, and verify its completion.

6. Add ReportCenter to the required CA NetMaster region by repeating the setup for the region.

   Use the installation facility to generate the JCL to set up the region. Submit each job, and verify its completion.

   Note: A region does not have to use ReportCenter immediately. ReportCenter can remain disabled until the region is working, you are familiar with its operation, and the other ReportCenter components are ready.

7. Customize your ReportCenter control and data regions.
8. Complete your ReportCenter implementation.
