Before You Use OPSVIEW

Before you can invoke OPSVIEW under your TSO logon ID, you must pre-allocate various data sets. For a list of these data sets, see the CA OPS/MVS Administration Guide.

To add the OPSVIEW libraries to existing TSO logon IDs, the OPS.CCLXCLS0 data set provides these CLISTs:

OPCONCAT

Adds a data set to an existing concatenation of partitioned data sets. For the two positional parameters of the OPCONCAT CLIST, specify the ddname of the concatenation and the dsname of the library you want to add.

Use the BEFORE and AFTER keywords to specify where you want the library to be positioned in the concatenation.

Default: BEFORE

Example:

OPCONCAT SYSPROC 'OPS.CCLXCLS0' AFTER

OPDECONC

Removes a data set from an existing concatenation of partitioned data sets. For the two positional parameters of the CLIST, specify the ddname of the concatenation and the dsname of the library you want to remove.

During execution, some options of OPSVIEW allocate user-specific data sets. These data sets always have a prefix that is equal to the user ID rather than the value specified by the PREFIX() keyword of the TSO PROFILE command.

Most OPSVIEW applications will not work unless the CA OPS/MVS started task is up and running. For information about CA OPS/MVS setup, see the Administration Guide.
