Allocate and Mount the z/FS Base Data Set (INST0002)

This INST002 job creates the HFS or z/FS data set, which future releases of CA SYSVIEW can use. You are only required to run this job the first time that you install CA SYSVIEW.

Each new release creates the separate release-dependent HFS or z/FS data set, directories, and mount point.

Important: Keep the file systems mounted and permanently available.

To allocate and mount the HFS or z/FS data set

  1. Review the INST0002 member in the sysview.SAMPJCL data set to ensure that all of the names and parameters are correct.
  2. Specify the allocation type:

    Set ZFS='TRUE' for z/FS files

    Set ZFS='FALSE' for HFS files

  3. Submit the member INST0002

    This member contains and runs the following steps. Each step must complete with a return code of zero:

    UNMOUNT

    Unmounts an existing z/FS data set.

    This step lets you execute the job again. The return code is forced to zero.

    DELDIR

    Deletes the z/FS directory.

    This step lets you execute the job again. The return code is forced to zero.

    DELZFS

    Deletes the z/FS data set.

    This step lets you execute the job again. The return code is forced to zero.

    ALLOCZFS

    Allocates the z/FS data set.

    FORMAT

    Formats the z/FS data set.

    MAKEDIR

    Creates the required directory structure.

    MOUNT

    Mounts the z/FS data set at the specified directory.

    CHMOD

    Sets the directory permissions.

    When the job ends with a return code of 0, the z/FS base data set is successfully allocated and mounted.
