Allocating the required datasets

The Strobe installer is required for this task.

1. Edit and execute member ALLOCTST found in the hlq.SSTRSAMP data set. 
2. Member ALLOCTST contains a job that creates the queue, log, system, group, and history data sets. This job also creates startup procedures STRTSM, STRTSSR, STRTSSA, STRTMSAS and STRTMNAS.
3. Follow the instructions in the JCL to ensure that a proper high-level qualifier is specified for the Strobe data sets.
4. Review the SYSUT1 data set names to verify that the correct system PROCLIB is specified.

5. If your site is licensed for the Strobe for Db2 option, replace DB2.SDSNLOAD with the name of your site's most current Db2 version SDSNLOAD library. 

   Warning

   Although we do not recommend it, if your site standards require modifications to the Strobe started task names, the following changes must be made:

   1. Update the procedures (created by the ALLOCTST job) in the system procedure library to the new names.
   2. Ensure the Security steps in External-security-considerations reflect the new names.
   3. Update the Strobe parameters MSASPROCNAME, SSAPROCNAME, and MNASPROCNAME in Strobe parameter member STRT00 to reflect the correct procedure names.
