Allocate SMP/E Data Sets

Use IBM'S SMP/E application to install and maintain the CA OPS/MVS product.

prefix.OPS.SAMPJCL contains the following required jobs:

INSTSMP1

Performs the required allocations and CSI initialization.

The INSTSMP1 job allocates the SMP-controlled target and distribution library data sets, as well as a new SMP/E CSI with all the required supporting SMP/E data sets. DD definitions are supplied for all data sets required to install the product.

INSTSMP2

For tape installations, job INSTSMP2 executes after job INSTSMP1.

Distribution data sets are packaged as SMP/E relfiles. The INSTSMP2 job performs the SMP/E receive, apply, and accept operations. The receive operation loads all the product functions. The apply and accept operations only operate on the base product function. Additional install jobs are provided to install the optional functions.

INSTSMP3

For ESD install, job INSTSMP3 executes after job INSTSMP1. The INSTSMP3 job uses the data sets created by the ESD process and job INSTSMP1 to perform the SMP/E receive, apply, and accept operations. No tape is required for the ESD installation.

Note: INSTSMP2 and INSTSMP3 jobs are mutually exclusive depending upon the installation methodology.

The base component installation links the USS and SOF servers along with the HMC interface into the USSLOAD library.

You must allocate the following as PDSEs:

The dependent modules of the Agent Technology agent for CA NSM SSM CA OPS/MVS Option and the OPSLOG WebView component are installed by separate SMP/E functions and installation procedures.

SMP/E maintains the OPSEXEC data set. When an APAR is applied to a distributed REXX program that is also distributed in OPSEXEC, the corresponding compiled version is included inline using the GIMDTS utility (provided by the SMP/E) to convert the replacement module to an 80-byte format. When the APAR is applied, SMP/E automatically expands the converted module to its original format.

To allocate CA OPS/MVS SMP/E data sets

  1. Customize the job in the prefix.OPS.SAMPJCL(INSTSMP1) member.
  2. Change the job card to meet installation standards.
  3. Use ISPF CHANGE ALL commands to change the target, DLIB, SMP/E, and LE link-edit data set name prefixes to the desired values. If required, change the temporary data set unit name and SYSOUT data set class.
  4. Change the JCL procedure parameters for unit, volume, and SMS information for each category of data set to suitable values.
  5. Use an ISPF FIND command to find VOLUME(SMPEVOL) two times. At each location either change SMPEVOL to a valid volume name or remove the volume parameter and then uncomment and customize the appropriate SMS keywords.

    The INSTSMP1 job is ready to run.

  6. Submit the job.

    CA OPS/MVS SMP/E data sets are created.

    The non-optional base components are installed. Verify that return codes are 0.
