Customizing Cross-System Image Manager (XIM)

The customization process constructs the XIM started task procedure and the XIM initiator procedure in the HLQ.JCL data set. Configuring XIM involves copying these procedures into the appropriate libraries. This procedure applies only to Database Administration and Object Administration solutions.

Before you begin

Complete the following tasks before you perform these customization tasks:

  • Apply the appropriate component fixes.

To customize XIM

  1. Copy the XIM started task procedure from the HLQ.JCL data set into a procedure library that is recognized by your JES subsystem.

    Warning

    Important

    The default name of the XIM started task procedure in the HLQ.JCL data set is XIMACM.

  2. Specify the SUFFIX parameter (within the XIM started task procedure) that XIM receives as part of the XIM parameter options member name.The SUFFIX parameter identifies the last one to five characters of a partitioned data set (PDS) member that begins with the character string XIM (XIM xxxxx).

  3. Copy the XIM initiator procedure from the HLQ.JCL data set into a procedure library that is recognized by your JES system.

    Warning

    Important

    The default name of the XIM initiator procedure in the HLQ.JCL data set is either the name that you entered as the value for the INIT_PROC option or the default of XIMACMI.

    You do not need to specify a valid SSID parameter within the XIM initiator procedure. XIM generates this value internally.

    Do not include a STEPLIB DD statement in your initiator procedure. If you include this statement, you can encounter abends in the initiator.
