Configure the CA GMI Interface

You do not need to override the default out-of-the-box configuration of the CA SYSVIEW GMI parameters. You only configure the CA GMI PROC.

Perform the following steps for each CA Vantage SRM z/OS host where CA SYSVIEW objects are to be available.

To configure CA GMI PROC

  1. Concatenate the CA SYSVIEW GMI PARMDLIB, hlq.CNM4GPRM, to the PARMS DD statement.

    The distributed library contains the following members:

    VPPDFU

    Contains the CA SYSVIEW parameter definitions and default settings located in the distributed GMI PARMLIB member.

    You can override these default settings in member VKGPARMS in the users parmlib.

    VPCDFU

    Contains the parameters used by the Host Configuration Client (HCC).

    VPOTFU

    Contains the CA SYSVIEW Object Tree.

  2. Concatenate the CA SYSVIEW load library, hlq.CNM4BLOD, to the STEPLIB DD in the CA GMI PROC.
  3. Configure the Help by concatenating the CA SYSVIEW SMP/E library hlq.CNM4GHLP to the HELP DD in the GMI PROC.

    The CA SYSVIEW Object Help becomes available through CA GMI.

  4. Configure the Messages by concatenating the CA SYSVIEW SMP/E library hlq.CNM4GMSG to the MSGLIB DD in the GMI PROC.

    The CA SYSVIEW messages become available through CA GMI.

To configure CA GMI parameters

  1. Modify the member CONFIG in the users parmlib to support the CA SYSVIEW component by adding or uncommenting the following statement: 
    COMP=SYSVIEW
  2. If the Vantage/GMI parameter SECURSCR is set to Y:
    1. Modify the CA SYSVIEW GMI security parameter SVEXTSEC.
    2. Define an appropriate SAF security rule to authorize GMI to alter security context for scripts.

    For more information, see the topic Distributed Configuration Parameters.

Your CA SYSVIEW GMI environment has been configured. Component startup messages similar to the following display:

SYV0001I Component SYSVIEW Release and Build initialization started
SYV0011I Component token 2F770F78.00000000.00000000.00000000 
SYV0016I Default SYSVIEW cross-system external server found. 
         System ccisys Jobname sysvuser
SYV0027I xxx objects defined for SYSVIEW build xxxx
SYV0002I Component SYSVIEW initialization completed

Note: If message SYV0027I is not issued, no CA SYSVIEW objects appear in the object tree. Verify that both CAICCI and the CA SYSVIEW user interface address space have started. Look for message SYV0017E indicating that the user address space was not found:

SYV0017E Default SYSVIEW cross-system external server not found. System ccisys Jobname sysvuser

After the CA SYSVIEW user address space and the XSystem eXternal session Server task (XSXS) are running, the CA SYSVIEW component task will:

  1. Discover the SYSVIEW cross-system external server on the next interval
  2. Build the CA SYSVIEW objects and issue message SYV0027I
