Milestone 5: Create Configuration Environment
This milestone contains tasks for specifying configuration details for ISPW. It should be performed for both new installations and upgrades so that the values specified are saved for future upgrades.
Task 5.1 Launch the Installation Configuration Dialog
To launch the Installation Configuration, execute the $$SETUP EXEC provided in the SPWMINST dataset.
On the Command line, type TSO EX followed by the fully-qualified library name and REXX EXEC member name.
The initial Valid Environment Values screen (Specifying the Work Dataset) is displayed.
Specifying the Work Dataset
Press ENTER to continue, PF1 for help, or CANCEL to exit.
Installation and Configuration Repository Dataset
TEST.IW.WORKDSN
Notes:
1 The Repository Dataset will be used to save and store information entered in the installation panels as well as some generated samples and JCL.
2 The Repository Dataset may be used when applying maintenance to ISPW at a future date.
3 The Repository Dataset may be used when upgrading to new releases of ISPW in the future.
Task 5.2 Specify the ISPW Repository Dataset
The Validate Environment Values screen is used to specify the “Work” dataset. This is where all the JCL and customized members used throughout the installation and configuration of ISPW will be stored.
- Type the name of the “Work” dataset in the Installation and Configuration Repository Dataset field and press Enter. Your value is saved, and the main menu for the ISPW Guided Configuration dialog is displayed (Guided Configuration Dialog Main Menu).

Task 5.3 Specify Environment Values
Type 1 (Create Configuration Environment) in the Option field and press Enter. The next Validate Environment Values screen is displayed.

In the HLQ for Target and Distribution libraries field, specify the high-level qualifier used for your SMP/E datasets. (This corresponds to the variable TAPEHLQ in 17.02 installations.)
