Configuring Your Product › Specify the Product Region

Specify the Product Region

The Install Utility lets you set up a region with the products you installed. If you need additional product regions, you can reuse the Install Utility to create them.

Follow these steps:

1. At the ISPF/PDF TSO Command Shell prompt, execute the following command:

   EXEC 'dsnpref.NMC1.CC2DJCL(INSTALL)'
   

   The Install Utility panel appears.

   Note: On each of the Install Utility panels, you can use the following keys:

   • Enter to proceed to the next panel
   • F1 to display online help
   • F3 to return to the previous panel
   • F4 to exit and return to the main menu
2. Press Enter.

   The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.

3. Enter 5 (Setup a NetMaster/SOLVE Product Region).

   The SETUP Product Region Primary Menu panel appears.

4. Enter 1 (Add a Region).

   The SETUP Specify Product Region Name panel appears.

   Note: If you want to add this product to an existing region, enter 4 (Add Products and Additional Features to a Region) and select the appropriate region.

5. Enter the name (rname) and description of the region you are setting up.

   The Install Utility uses the name that you entered to generate local data set names and the started task JCL. For example, if you enter REGION01 as the region name, your started task JCL is REGION01 and a local region file, such as the Virtual File System (VFS), is dsnpref.REGION01.VFS.

   The SETUP Product Selection panel appears.

6. Enter S next to the products you are licensed to include in the region.
7. Complete each of the SETUP panels as they open. Accept the default values, or specify site-specific values.

   Note: For information about the fields, press F1 (Help).

   Note: On the SETUP Region Information panel, ensure that the value of the Subsystem Interface Identifier matches the value of the SOLVE SSI you intend to use.

   The setup software generates a series of setup jobs in the dsnpref.NMC1.rname.JCL library.

8. Record the name of the data set into which the JCL was generated in your post-installation worksheet.
9. Submit and run the following jobs in sequence. Do not proceed with any job until the previous job has completed successfully.

   S01LCALC

   Allocates the region-specific (local) data sets. If you are upgrading and have increased the size of a particular file, modify the JCL to increase the space allocation as required.

   S02SHALC

   Allocates the shared run-time data sets.

   S03LDVIP

   Populates the MODS, PANELS, and OSCNTL files.

   S04LDVSM

   Populates the other VSAM files.

   S05LDPDS

   Copies some PDS members to dsnpref.rname.TESTEXEC or dsnpref.PARMLIB for use by the product region. If this product is being added to an existing region, the RUNSYSIN and IIAPARMS are overwritten.

   When the region starts for the first time, the values in IIAPARMS set up certain parameter group values. On subsequent startups, the region uses the parameter group values. The IIAPARMS values are then only used if INIRESET=YES is specified or if the VFS data set is reset.

   Note: The member names for IIAPARMS and SXPARMS include the domain ID, so they appear as IIAdmid and SXPdmid.

   S06MIGRT

   Copies site-specific VSAM data from an earlier release.

   Note: The utility also generates the following jobs for deploying the configuration files for your region to a target system when a shared DASD is not available: S10DUMP and S11REST. The S10DUMP job creates a backup data set that includes the configuration files for the region, which you deploy to the target system. The S11REST job, when submitted on the target system, restores the configuration files from the backup data set. In addition to deploying the configuration files, also deploy the target libraries. CA MSM can facilitate this deployment.

   Note: After your product is installed, it monitors the size of your VSAM data sets. For more information about tuning VSAM data sets, see the Reference Guide.

10. Press F3.

    The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.
