Set Up the SOLVE PPI

SOLVE SSI provides several functions including the SOLVE Program-to-Program Interface (SOLVE PPI).

Note: If you specified PPI=YES for the SOLVE SSI, you must set up the SOLVE PPI.

To use the SOLVE PPI, make the CNMNETM module available for execution using one of the following options:

• Add the dsnpref.OPB9.CC2DLPA library to LNKLST, which is defined in SYS1.PARMLIB(LNKLSTxx).
• Copy CNMNETM, including the aliases CNMCNETV and CNMNETV, from the dsnpref.OPB9.CC2DLPA library to a data set in LNKLST.

  For a list of data sets in LNKLST, see SYS1.PARMLIB(LNKLSTxx).

  If you are replacing Tivoli NetView PPI with SOLVE PPI, remove the Tivoli NetView CNMNETV module from the Pageable Link Pack Area (PLPA) data set.

• Use the VTAM First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) facility.

  To use this facility:

  1. Ensure that the relevant modules are in LPA.
  2. Copy CNMNETM, including the aliases CNMCNETV and CNMNETV, from the dsnpref.OPB9.CC2DLPA library to a PLPA data set.

     For a list of data sets in the LPA, see SYS1.PARMLIB(LPALSTxx).

  3. Perform an IPL, specifying Clear Link Pack Area (CLPA).

Note: You can make the CNMNETM module available for dynamic execution using the SETPROG LNKLST command or the SETPROG LPA command. To make these modules available for dynamic execution, ask a z/OS systems programmer for assistance.
