Install the MVS/QuickRef Interface

For OPSVIEW users who want to also use the ChicagoSoft MVS/QuickRef product interface under ISPF, you must provide access to the MVS/QuickRef load modules. To do this, place the modules in the LNKLIST, LPALIB, STEPLIB, or ISPLLIB concatenation.

It is strongly recommended that you specify the MVS/QuickRef database name in the MVS/QuickRef options module (QWIKOPTS). If you do not, then specify the name of the MVS/QuickRef database through the CA OPS/MVS QUICKREFDBASE parameter. For instructions on modifying the MVS/QuickRef options table, see the MVS/QuickRef documentation.

You can use a different MVS/QuickRef database for any user by allocating the desired database in the LOGON procedure of that user. Or, you can accomplish this dynamically through the TSO ALLOCATE command. For more information, see your MVS/QuickRef documentation.

Note: OPSVIEW users must have access to the MVS/QuickRef load modules. To provide this, place the load modules in the LINKLIST, LPALIB, STEPLIB, or ISPLLIB concatenation.

The QUICKREFTYPE product parameter should be allowed to default or be set to TSOHELP so that current CA OPS/MVS message information is extracted from the CA OPS/MVS help file rather than from the MVS/QuickRef database, which most likely will not match the version of the product you are running.
