Defining or modifying site-wide default values

The Installation System provides user-defined defaults (known as site-wide defaults) that are used as a starting point for a project. When you create a new project, the Installation System copies your site-wide default values to the project. However, you can override the defaults within each project.

To define or modify site-wide values

Start the Installation System as described in Starting-the-Installation-System.
On the Installation System Main Menu, select Set Site Wide Default Values.

Complete the fields on the Site Wide Default Values panel.

BMIPDEFS                   Site Wide Default Values
Command ===>                                                  Scroll ===> CSR

These values are used as defaults when creating a new project. Most values can
be overridden at the project level and are saved with the project. Note that
the current value of fields in sections marked with an asterisk(*) are always
used when generating installation and configuration jobs.

** If symbolics &FRWLUSER and &FRWLPSWD are specified in this section, the
  user will be prompted for replacement values prior to connecting to the BMC
  FTP site.

  Note: If you enter data here, you should also place symbolics
  &BMCUSER and &BMCPSWD in the proper location as required by your firewall.
  They will be resolved using the values specified in the "BMC FTP Site &
  Download Options" section above.

The following table describes the sections of the panel:

Section	Description
BMC File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Site & Download Options	These fields specify the location and access information for the product image files on the BMC Electronic Software Distribution File Transfer Protocol (BMC ESD FTP) site.
Data Set HLQs	This field specifies an HLQ for the temporary work files used by the Installation System. Important You can override the temporary files HLQ when generating the installation jobs. For more information, see Specifying-SMP-E-settings.
Allocation Options	These fields specify data set allocation information for the files and libraries created by the Installation System. For each file and library, provide SMS or volume information. If you provide both, the SMS information is used.
System Values	These fields specify the names of system libraries. Only some products use the IBM call library and the IBM 'C' Library. To determine which products require these libraries, see Installation-requirements-for-products.
SMP/E Options	This field specifies SMP/E information for the products being installed.
Batch Job Generation Options	These fields specify information for the JCL generated by the Installation System. You run this JCL to perform the installation and configuration of your products.
Select file transfer method to download BMC products to your site	These fields indicate the file transfer method you will use to download files via the Installation System. Answer Yes to only one of the following options: File Transfer Protocol (FTP) File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS) Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) Physical media or Distributed FTP Based on the selected option, you can use the required file transfer method to download files via the Installation System. For more information, see Updating-the-Installation-System.
SFTP Options	These fields specify the information that is needed if you are using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).
FTP/FTPS Site Options	These fields specify the information that is needed if you are using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS). Optionally, specify the firewall information used at your site. The information entered in these fields is case-sensitive. Data set names are used exactly as specified. Do not use single or double quotation marks.

Consider the following information when completing the panel:

The Site Wide Default Values panel is a multi-page panel as indicated by the More field (on the right side of the panel, near the top). To scroll through the pages, use F8 (down) and F7 (up).
You can leave a field blank if you do not want to set a site-wide value for that item.

When finished, press Enter and then press F3.

If you did not make any changes, you are returned to the Installation System Main Menu.

If you made changes, you are asked what you want to do:

Option	Result
1. Exit and save changes	A password dialog is displayed. Different dialogs are displayed based on the following criteria. Note: Passwords are case-sensitive. No password exists You are asked if you want to add a password. If you specify N, your changes are saved and you return to the Installation System Main Menu. If you specify Y, you are prompted to enter a password. After entering a password in both fields, press Enter to save it, press F3 to return to the Confirm Site Wide Default Changes panel, and select Exit and save changes again. Your changes are saved and you return to the Installation System Main Menu. A password exists and the user ID you are using is the same as the last user ID to update the site-wide defaults You are asked if you want to add or change the password or if you want to remove the password (the options are mutually exclusive). If you specify N for both options, your changes are saved and you return to the Installation System Main Menu. If you specify Y to add or change the password, you are prompted to enter a password. After entering a password in both fields, press Enter to save it, press F3 to return to the Confirm Site Wide Default Changes panel, and select Exit and save changes again. Your changes are saved and you return to the Installation System Main Menu. If you specify Y to remove the password, the password is removed. Press Enter and you return to the Installation System Main Menu. A password exists and the user ID you are using is different than the last user ID to update the site-wide defaults You are prompted to enter the password or the user ID that last updated the site-wide defaults. After entering the password or user ID, press Enter to verify it, and press F3 to save your changes and return to the Installation System Main Menu. Important If you do not know the password or user ID, press F3. Your changes are not saved and you return to the Installation System Main Menu.
2. Exit and discard changes	No changes are saved and you are returned to the Installation System Main Menu.
3. Return to the previous panel	You are returned to the panel you just exited.
