Install CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option

Before you can install the Agent Technology agent for the CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option, CCS for z/OS must be installed on the system. CCS for z/OS includes the most current versions of CAICCI communications, CAIENF, CA GSS, and all the other components that comprise the common services used by most CA products. The CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option agent requires that the Agent Technology component of CCS for z/OS be installed. This component does not need to be active during the installation. For a complete list of the CCS for z/OS components, by FMID, that you need, see the appendix “CCS for z/OS Component Requirements.”

The Agent Technology agent for the CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option provides SNMP communication with the CA NSM workstation CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option product using the Agent Technology component of CCS for z/OS. The agent load modules are Language Environment (LE) programs that must be linked into a PDSE data set. The EXP data set from the installation of CCS for z/OS is required to successfully link-edit the agent modules.

To install CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS

  1. Tailor the JCL in member INSTSMPM of the hlq.OPS.SAMPJCL data set to your specific installation requirements.

    This job installs the agent load modules that service the SNMP requests for CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option.

  2. Change the job statement to meet installation standards.
  3. Use the ISPF CHANGE ALL command to change the prefix value for the CCS for z/OS object library that was created during the installation of CCS for z/OS.

    This data set contains the object modules for agent programs that communicate using Agent Technology as well as other CCS for z/OS components. The suffix of the desired data set is EXP. The required prefix can be determined from the AWSTART procedure in the system proclib concatenation.

  4. Provide the prefix of the SMP/E GLOBAL.CSI data set.
  5. Run the INSTSMPM job and check the return codes. Return code 0 is expected for the APPLYACC step.

    The SMP report output should show that the new function has been applied, and accepted.
