When you have a new or existing file system to use and you know what directory path name to use for the ReportCenter HFS files, you should review these common considerations with your UNIX Systems Services administrator.
The SMP/E user who will be submitting the generated installation JCL for ReportCenter must have write access to the path name.
In addition, the SMP/E program name (not the name of the submitting user) must be defined to the security class BPX.SUPERUSER before any SMP/E installation or maintenance can be done. This ensures that SMP/E always has sufficient file system access, irrespective of who runs the SMP/E jobs.
See IBM's SMP/E for z/OS and OS/390 User's Guide for more information.
The file system must be mounted read/write on the same system where your generated installation JCL will be run. This is so SMP/E can create the SMP/E target library.
A ReportCenter control region needs at least read and execute access to the code in this file system. If such a region is on a different system, this file access may be accomplished by methods such as mounting the file system as read accessible from multiple systems or copying the target library files to a runtime directory. This depends on your specific configuration and code management standards.
ReportCenter data regions do not access the ReportCenter HFS files.
The generated installation JCL for ReportCenter creates and runs a shell script named C2DMKDR. This script creates various subdirectories starting with nm/reporter/wr76 under your path name.
For example, if your path name is /u/users, the JCL creates directories including:
/u/users/nm/reporter/wr76/classes /u/users/nm/reporter/wr76/cntl …
During the installation of ReportCenter, the access permissions for the individual files are set at 775 for executable files and 664 for nonexecutable files.
Note: For more information about setting and changing HFS file permissions, see IBM's UNIX System Services User's Guide and UNIX System Services Command Reference.
The file system that you specify here is for the SMP/E target libraries. ReportCenter also requires HFS directories for its user data. These are specified separately during ReportCenter implementation and are not part of installation.
ReportCenter user data can share the physical file system used for this SMP/E target libraries, or use separate file systems. If you eventually want to have both ReportCenter SMP/E and user data on this file system, take this into account when deciding the file size and mount point.
