  1. Create partitioned data sets (PDSs).
    If they do not already exist, create PDSs with unique names on the mainframe for the following items:

    • CDL file
    • DDL file
    • Execution JCL
    • Analysis impact report
    • Worklist

    Also, create rollback PDSs with unique names on the mainframe for the following items:

    • CDL file
    • Execution JCL
    • Analysis impact report
    • Worklist

    Important

    •  Create PDSs with LRECL=80.
    • For PDSs that receive a large number of artifacts from pipelines or workflows, consider using a PDSE so that you do not exceed limits for the directory block.

  2. Customize the plug-in variables file. 
    In the plug-in variables file that we have provided, customize the following variable values.

    Important

    • Do not enclose the variable values in single or double quotation marks.
    • Comment out any variables in the plug-in variables file that you do not plan to use.
    • The default name of the plug-in variables file is AMI_DevOps.properties. The plug-in variables file can have any name, but the file name extension must be .properties.
