Installing z/OS Agent

  1. Install or update ECC Release 17.02.00 with all current maintenance applied. 
    Follow the instructions in the BMC Installer Mainframe Products SMP/E Installation Guide to transfer and install ECC or apply maintenance. Once completed, follow the instructions in the Enterprise Common Components Installation and Configuration Guide to configure and deploy ECC, including importing your Total Test license keys into the BMC AMI License Management System (LMS).
  2. After the SMP/E install and other ECC configurations, run the following Xatz configuration:
    • Customize XAUPDCSD in SLCXCNTL for updating CICS CSD.

  3. Modify ØhlqØ.SLCXCNTL(XATZSYSD) for Non-virtualized Test (Functional Test) symbolics values used by z/OS SENU Jobs.

    Tip

    A ‘Ø’ is displayed as ‘@’ or another national language character in a 3270 display, depending on your code page.

  4. APF Authorize ØhlqØ.SLCXAUTH.
  5. Modify ØhlqØ.SLCXCNTL(XATZ00) for Functional Test startup parameters.

  6. Modify the JCL Skeleton in ØhlqØ.SLCXSENU with your custom changes done for V1.4.1 or V2.0.0. If you have any customizations in V1.4.1 or V2.0.0 SXATPROC, apply these to V17.02.00 SLCXCNTL. 

    Important

    All product symbolics are defined in XATZSYSD to simplify the installation process. If you customize SLCXSENU members, you will have to do it anytime the product makes an update to one.

  7. Update/Start the CMSC using definition in XATZ00

    Tip

    If the port number for V17.02.00 is the same as the port number for V1.4.1 or V2.0.0, you must stop the V1.4.1 or V2.0.0 started task.

    Now you should be able to start Total Test V17.02.00.
    Note that you can be running two or more different Total Test versions on the same system, if they use different port numbers. A CICS, however, can only run one version. A CICS version V1.4.1 or V2.0.0 can run under a z/OS Agent V17.02.00, but some features, like CICS virtualization, will be disabled.
