To specify runtime data set information

Important

Beginning with version 4.0.00 of the Installation System, you must allocate a LINK library data set as a PDSE.

To install your products and solutions in an existing zone, make sure that the SMP/E environment is created with the Installation System version 4.00.00 or later. In addition, you must perform all the required steps in the $105SMPE job to verify that the existing LINK data sets are PDSE and your environment is compatible with an existing SMP/E installation.

    1. In the Runtime Data Set HLQ and Other Data Set HLQs sections, specify HLQs.
    2. In the Change Values field in the Low Level Qualifiers section, select one of the following options for the low-level qualifiers (LLQs) for the product data sets:
      • Enter 1 to use BMC*.

        (Recommended) All LLQs begin with BMC, followed by the type of library (such as LINK, SAMP, or PLIB). Examples are BMCLINK, BMCSAMP, and BMCPLIB. All products use the same set of libraries.

      • Enter 2 to use LLQs that start with product-line designators.

        LLQs begin with one of the following designators, followed by the library type:

        • BB for BMC AMI Ops and some performance products
        • DB for BMC products for IBM Db2
        • IM for BMC products for IBM IMS
        • XX for Infrastructure components

        For example, if you are installing a BMC product for IMS, the names would be IMLIB, IMSAMP, and IMPLIB. All products in the same product line use the same set of libraries.

        If you already have BMC AMI Ops  products installed, use this option to continue using the naming conventions of your existing libraries.

      • Enter 3 to specify your own LLQs as described in Step 3.

        Important

        Use this option only when you need total control over the naming of the runtime data sets. For the BMC AMI Application Restart Control products, regardless of which option you select, the LLQs are predetermined and cannot be changed. For information about target libraries, see Library names.

    3. (Optional) In the Existing Load Library field, in the Optional APF Load Library section, specify an existing APF load library to use to consolidate all of the load libraries into one.

      Important

      The APF load library must be defined as a PDSE. Password modules cannot be copied to a PDSE. We recommend putting your product password data in the UBMCLINK or in a LINKLIST data set. The APF load library becomes the runtime data set for the load modules only. All SMP/E target and user load modules will be copied here. Existing members in this library can be overwritten.

  3. (If you selected option 3 for the LLQs) On the Product Runtime Data Set Low Level Qualifiers panel, view the data sets that will be created, customize the LLQs according to your preferences, and press Enter.
