Installation Enhancements

The installation process has been enhanced.

System Configuration Options

Sample system configuration option members can be found in the SYSVIEW samplib data set sysview.CNM4BSAM for current and previous releases of CA SYSVIEW. The sample members contain all options and full descriptions for each option.

Members:

• GSVSGSVX for Version 14.0
• GSVXR139 for Release 13.9
• GSVXR137 for Release 13.7
• GSVXR135 for Release 13.5

SYSVIEW Library Concatenation

Note: This Library Concatenation information is valid for Release 13.9 and Version 14.0.

A CA SYSVIEW installation is comprised of several types of libraries or data sets designed to contain a specific type of data. This library is referred to as a library type or libtype.

A library type can consist of multiple data sets. These data sets dynamically concatenate when a read request is made for the specified library type.

Only one data set can be defined for each data set type. Therefore, a maximum of three data sets can be concatenated.

If defined, the data sets are concatenated in the following order:

libtype  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=user.data.set
         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=site.data.set
         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=system.data.set

The allocation of SITE and SYSTEM data sets occur during the installation.

The SYSTEM data sets are populated with members for the current release.

The SITE data sets are only allocated. No members are copied to the SITE data sets. The SITE data sets are intended to be used for members the customer created. The members can contain definitions or overrides to system definitions. Reuse the SITE data sets when migrating to future releases.

The SAMPLIB data set contains sample jobs to allocate your USER and SITE data sets.

• Job to create the USER library data sets:

  SYSVIEW.DEV.BASE.SAMPLIB(USERLIBS)
  Sysview.samplib
  

• Job to create the SITE library data sets:

  SYSVIEW.DEV.BASE.SAMPLIB(SITELIBS)
  Sysview.samplib
  

User Supervisor Call (SVC) Removal

In releases before Version 14.0, you defined a user SVC in the CA SYSVIEW System Configuration Options member GSVXGSVX. This member resides in the system parmlib concatenation.

Starting at Version 14.0, remove the following obsolete System Configuration Option from any options member:

SVC-Number

If you do not remove this option, the CA SYSVIEW initialization continues while issuing the following series of warning messages:

GSV445W Configuration member: GSVXGSVX

GSV446W Configuration option: SVC-Number nnn

GSV447W Configuration error: Option name is obsolete.
