Install VTAM Support

After you install the VTAM interface support, you can use CA SYSVIEW from VTAM.

Follow these steps:

  1. Copy the SYSVAPPL member from the data set sysview.CNM4BSAM to the SYS1.VTAMLST data set.

    The following support is now available from the data set SYS1.VTAMLST:

  2. Set the ACBNAME parameter on the first APPL statement in the SYSVAPPL member. Select the name to use when logging in to CA SYSVIEW through the VTAM interface. Use that name when you start the VTAM interface.

    The CA SYSVIEW VTAM command uses the remaining APPL statements (named SYSVPO00 through SYSVPO03) to submit commands to ACF/VTAM. The four APPL statements provide support for users who are using the VTAM command concurrently. To increase this number, add additional APPL statements incrementing the numeric suffix of the SYSVPOnn APPL name by one for each APPL added.

  3. Add the SYSVAPPL name to the ATCCON member in the SYS1.VTAMLST data set.

    The SYSVAPPL member activates when VTAM starts.

  4. Add the CA SYSVIEW USSTAB entry that is in the USSTAB member in the data set sysview.CNM4BSAM to your installation USSTAB member.

    This entry simplifies the CA SYSVIEW logon procedure.

    If you do not use the USSTAB entry, use the complete LOGON command to log in to CA SYSVIEW from VTAM.

  5. Set the CMD and DEFAULT parameters in the USSTAB member to the value you used for the ACBNAME parameter in Step 2 of this procedure.
  6. Assemble the USSTAB table and place it in the appropriate data set in your VTAMLIB concatenation.

    Note: Skip this step if your site already has a suitable USSTAB available.

  7. Reload the USSTAB in VTAM using the MODIFY TABLE command.

    The changes for CA SYSVIEW are incorporated into your system. VTAM interface support is installed.

    Note: For information about how to start the VTAM interface, see the Administration Guide.
