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

Concatenate the libraries with (or copy into) the standard distribution libraries for ISPF/PDF, as you do with all ISPF-based applications.
Provide dynamic access to OPSVIEW data sets by either of the following methods:
- Allocate the OPSVIEW ISPF-related data sets when the OPSVIEW user logs on to TSO
- Dynamically when the user invokes OPSVIEW
The OPSVLBDF member in the SYS1.OPS.CCLXSAMP 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
SYSHELPENU	SYS1.OPS.CCLXHENU	TSO help members
ISPMLIB	SYS1.OPS.CCLXMENU	Message library
ISPPLIB	SYS1.OPS.CCLXPENU	Panel library
ISPTLIB	SYS1.OPS.CCLXTENU	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.CCLXSENU	ISPF file tailoring skeletons
STEPLIB	SYS1.OPS.CCLXLOAD (see note.)	Program load library
SYSEXEC	SYS1.OPS.CCLXEXEC HLQ.USER.REXX	Base REXX programs User modifiable OPS/MVS REXX programs
SYSPROC	SYS1.OPS.CCLXCLS0	CLIST library
OPSEXEC	SYS1.OPS.CCLXOPEX	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.

If you use the TSO/E calling sequence for OPSVLBDF, you can also perform the following functions in the EXEC:
- Allocate and free the CA OPS/MVS compiled REXX data set to the OPSEXEC ddname.
- If you use the CA OPS/MVS REXXDDNAME parameter to provide a ddname for OPS/REXX other than SYSEXEC, you can also allocate and free the OPS/REXX source program data sets.
Copy member OP6UEXIT from hlq.CCLXSAMP to your hlq.USER.REXX.
(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.
