Update VTAM Definitions (Job N120)

JCLLIB Member: CA07N120 (the prefix CA07 is sometimes overridden in the SYSGEN install macros).

Return Code: 0

Installation Type: New environments

Description: Copies the CA WA CA 7 Edition VTAM definitions from the CA WA CA 7 Edition JCLLIB to the VTAMLST library specified on the U7GEN macro. The members that job CA07N120 copied are listed in the member VTAMDECK in the CA WA CA 7 Edition JCLLIB. The following items are the CA WA CA 7 Edition VTAM definition members and their descriptions:

CA7VTAM

VTAM APPL definition

CA7ISPF

VTAM APPL definitions for the TSO/ISPF interface

If you are an existing CA WA CA 7 Edition user, you can have your VTAM definition included in a member with other VTAM definitions. If so, consider deleting that definition before copying this one to your VTAM library.

Sometimes, you must vary these VTAM members active after VTAM is initialized or must restart VTAM to get the members active.

If you do not want to enable the CA WA CA 7 Edition TSO/ISPF interface at your site, delete the IEBCOPY SELECT statement for CA7ISPF in the VTAMDECK member.

Note: For NCF sites, VTAM definitions are also required for each node in the NCF network. If you know your network configuration, see VTAM and NCF Node Table Definitions. If you do not yet know your NCF network configuration, you can wait until after you have completed the installation testing for CA WA CA 7 Edition itself. For NCF2 sites, the CA7VTAM and CA7ISPF members are not required.
