Configuring Your Product › Specify the SOLVE SSI

Specify the SOLVE SSI

Note: If you are running SOLVE SSI on the system already, you do not have to perform this task. Record the subsystem ID of the running SSI for use by the product region.

Note: In a multisystem environment with shared DASD, you can configure one SSI and run that SSI on the different systems. In a multisystem environment where the DASD are not shared, see Multisystem Deployment.

If you do not use CA CSM to configure the SSI, use the Install Utility to set up the SSI. This procedure provides the communication between the product region and other software on a system.

Follow these steps:

1. At the ISPF/PDF TSO Command Shell prompt, execute the following command:

   EXEC 'dsnpref.OWC2.CC2DJCL(INSTALL)'
   

   The Install Utility panel appears.

   Note: On each of the Install Utility panels, you can use the following keys:

   • Enter to proceed to the next panel
   • F1 to display the online help
   • F3 to return to the previous panel
   • F4 to exit and return to the main menu
2. Press Enter.

   The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.

3. (Optional) If you have installed the product using CA CSM, perform the following steps:
   1. Enter 1.

      The Software Delivery Method panel appears.

   2. Complete the panel:
      • Enter S next to CA CSM.
      • Specify the name of the CSI data set used during the product installation in the SMP/E CSI Used field.
   3. Press Enter. Accept the default zones, or specify site-specific zones.
4. Enter 4.

   A panel appears listing several approaches to implement your SSI environment.

   Note: For more information, press F1 (Help).

5. Press Enter.

   The SETUP SOLVE SSI Primary Menu panel appears.

6. Enter 1 (Add a Region).

   The SETUP Specify SOLVE SSI Name panel appears.

7. Enter the name (ssiname) and description of the SSI region you are setting up.

   The setup software uses the name to generate the started task JCL. For example, if the name is SOLVESSI, your started task JCL is named SOLVESSI.

8. Complete each of the SETUP panels as they appear. Accept the default values, or specify site-specific values.

   Note: Install Utility lets you configure an SSI that works with other products, enabling the SSI to be shared.

   The Install Utility generates a series of setup jobs into the dsnpref.OWC2.ssiname.JCL library.

9. Record the name of the data set into which the JCL was generated in your post-installation worksheet.

   Note: If you are setting up a new SSI, continue with these steps. Otherwise, skip the remaining steps in this procedure. Verify that the required SSI parameters are present in your existing shared SSI, and update them as necessary.

10. Submit and run the following jobs:

    S01SSIAL

    Allocates any local SSI data sets.

    S02SSIAS

    Allocates any shared SSI data sets.

    Note: If applicable, this allocation occurs only for the first SSI you set up. For the setup of subsequent SSIs, this is a dummy job.

    S03SSILD

    Copies the PDS members to dsnpref.OWC2.SSIPARM.

    S04MIGRT

    Copies data from earlier releases.

    This job is only generated if the value in the Enable the Packet Analyzer field on the SETUP Region Parameters panel is set to YES. The field applies if you include CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP as a client of the SSI.

11. Press F3.

    The Install Utility Primary Menu panel appears.
