Planning

This section describes the prerequisites for using the BMC AMI DevOps for Db2 product.

  • To use the product, ensure that the following products are installed on your system:
    • IBM z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF)
    • IBM z/OS JES2 or JES3 system
    • IBM Db2 11 for z/OS or later
    • Version 12.1.00 or later of CHANGE MANAGER for DB2
    • Version 2.121.1 or later of Jenkins

  • Configure security authorization for z/OSMF
    For more information, see the IBM z/OS Management Facility Configuration Guide from the IBM documentation.

    Note

    You might need to create authorizations for z/OSMF core functions. To create these authorizations:

    1. Use the IZUSEC job to set up the following accesses:
      • SERVAUTH resource class for CEA.CEATSO.TSOREQUEST
      • TSOPROC resource class for IZUFPROC
    2. Follow the procedure to use the default Language Environment MSGFILE of SYSOUT. For more information, see the section about IBM PI86429 in the IBM documentation.
  • Create the required partitioned data sets (PDSs) on the mainframe. For more information, see step 1 of the procedure to prepare for a project.
  • Customize the plug-in variables file. For more information, see step 2 of the procedure to prepare for a project.

  • For each project, during configuration, specify the following details for the LPAR in the SYSPLEX on which z/OSMF is running:

    • Mainframe IP address or host name
    • Port number for z/OSMF

    Use the following procedure to determine the IP address or host name and port number:

    1. Identify the Db2 subsystem to which schema changes are applied.
    2. Identify the LPAR and SYSPLEX on which this Db2 subsystem resides.
    3. Verify that z/OSMF is running on an LPAR in this SYSPLEX.
    4. Determine the IP address or host name for this LPAR.
    5. Determine the port number for z/OSMF running on this LPAR.
  • To use BMC AMI DevOps features in pipelines, ensure that the following plug-ins are installed on Jenkins:
    • Pipeline Utility Steps
      This plug-in is a suite of plug-ins that supports implementing and integrating continuous delivery pipelines into Jenkins.
    • Pipeline: Build Step
      This plug-in is a component of the Pipeline Utility Steps plug-in. You must install this plug-in on Jenkins to use BMC AMI DevOps features in Declarative Pipelines using other jobs (projects).
