Make OPSVIEW Facilities Available Under TSO

You must make OPSVIEW available to at least the people who are responsible for maintaining and administering CA OPS/MVS. Also, you will probably want to make it available to everyone who currently has access to a console.

To make the OPSVIEW data sets available to TSO users

  1. Concatenate the libraries with (or copy into) the standard distribution libraries for ISPF/PDF, as you do with all ISPF-based applications.
  2. Provide dynamic access to OPSVIEW data sets by either of the following methods:

    The OPSVLBDF member in the SYS1.OPS.SAMPLES data set contains a customizable example to dynamically allocate the OPSVIEW ISPF-related data sets at the time OPSVIEW is invoked. This REXX EXEC may be invoked either from the TSO/E READY prompt or from within ISPF as either an OPS/REXX or TSO/E REXX EXEC. This REXX EXEC uses the ISPF LIBDEF service to allocate the following ISPF-related DDs:

DDname

Data Set Name

Description

SYSHELP

SYS1.OPS.HELP

TSO help members

ISPMLIB

SYS1.OPS.OPSMLIB

Message library

ISPPLIB

SYS1.OPS.OPSPLIB

Panel library

ISPTLIB

SYS1.OPS.OPSTLIB

ISPF command tables

ISPTABL

Either a unique table output data set or your ISPF profile data set name

ISPF table output data set

ISPSLIB

SYS1.OPS.OPSSLIB

ISPF file tailoring skeletons

STEPLIB

SYS1.OPS.LOAD (see note)

Program load library

SYSEXEC

SYS1.OPS.REXX

HLQ.USER.REXX

Base REXX programs

User modifiable OPS/MVS REXX programs

SYSPROC

SYS1.OPS.FBCLIST

CLIST library

OPSEXEC

SYS1.OPS.OPSEXEC

Compiled OPS/REXX programs (not required; however significantly improves OPSVIEW performance)

Important! For OPSVIEW to be fully functional, the OPS/MVS load library must be in a STEPLIB or in the LINKLIST.

  1. If you use the TSO/E calling sequence for OPSVLBDF, you can also perform the following functions in the EXEC:
  2. Copy member OP6UEXIT from hlq.SAMPLE.REXX to your hlq.USER.REXX.
  3. (Optional) Add OPSVIEW as a selection on one of your existing ISPF menus. Add the following line to the &ZSEL translation section of your ISPF panel to invoke OPSVIEW: 
    &ZSEL = TRANS( TRUNC ( &ZCMD,'.')
          S,'CMD(OPSV)'

Your OPSVIEW facilities are made available under TSO.
