Install CA VM:Director API Components in the SMAPI Server

These instructions refer to the IBM Systems Management Application Programming manual, and they apply only to the Socket version of the SMAPI server. See the separate section, later in this chapter, for information on the RPC Socket server, if you use that version of SMAPI support. To install the CA VM:Director API components in the Socket SMAPI server, you need to perform the following steps:

To install the CA VM:Director API components in the VSMWORKn virtual machines

1. Install the VSMREQIN and VSMWORKn user IDs as described in the chapter “Setting up and Configuring the Server Environment” in the IBM Systems Management Application Programming manual. Install the VSMREQIU server if you plan to use IUCV to perform SMAPI requests.
2. SMAPI provides various types of worker virtual machines. The SMAPI workers which must be modified for use with CA VM:Director are the VSMGUARD ID and the "long call" workers VSMWORK2, VSMWORK3, etc.
3. All CA VM:Director components needed by the SMAPI workers are distributed on the CA VM:Director public files disk, usually the VMANAGER 193 disk. Some CA VM:Director customers copy the files on the 193 to a public disk such as the MAINT 19E Y-Disk. If your installation does not do this, then:
   1. Add this statement to the directory entry of each SMAPI worker ID:

      LINK VMANAGER 193 293 RR
      

   2. Add this statement to the PROFILE EXEC for each SMAPI worker ID:

      ACCESS 293 H
      

   Note: If you have an alternate method of accessing files on the CA VM:Director PUBLIC disk, implement that method for each SMAPI worker ID.

4. Allow each SMAPI worker ID to issue CP Diagnose code X’D4’. With no External Security Manager, privilege class "B" is needed in each directory entry. If you are using an External Security Manager then use the appropriate controls in the ESM to allow each SMAPI worker to issue the diagnose.
5. Update the SMAPI Server Configuration File as documented in the section “The Server Configuration File” in the chapter “Setting up and Configuring the Server Environment” in the IBM Systems Management Application Programming manual.

   You are changing the value of the configuration file attribute named “DM_Exit” from its default value of “DMSSIXDM” to the value “VMXSIXDM” so that the VMXSIXDM routine supplied by CA VM:Director will be used as the “Directory Manager Exit Routine”.
