The followings roles are required for this task:

  • Strobeinstaller
  • z/OS system programmer.

Task 4.4.1: Copy Runtime Libraries

Compuware recommends that copies of selected SMP/E target libraries be made that will comprise the runtime environment. The SMP/E target libraries listed in the following table are recommended to have corresponding runtime copies.

SSTRPARM

StrobeParameter Library

SSTRPENU

Task 4.4.2: Copy the StrobeModules into a Library to the System LINKLIST Concatenation

To establish the Strobeenvironment, some Strobemodules must execute in an authorized state. Compuware has provided a load library, SSTRAUTH, that contains those modules. To support a test version, the modules in SSTRAUTH beginning with STRB must be copied to an APF-authorized library (contained in the LINKLIST) and renamed to begin with STRT. Use the hlq.SSTRSAMP member COPYTEST job for this task.

Copy the StrobeModules

  1. Edit the job control statements in member COPYTEST as follows:
    1. Supply a JOB statement.
    2. Change STROBE.SSTRAUTH to the name of your authorized Strobeload library.
    3. Change STROBE.LINKLIB to the name of an APF-authorized library dataset that is contained in the LINKLIST (concatenated with SYS1.LINKLIB).
    4. Change STROBE.AUTHLIB to the name of an authorized non-LINKLIST dataset.
    5. Change UNIT=SYSDA to a more appropriate unit if needed.
  2. Execute the job. All return codes should be zero.
  3. Use the MVS MODIFY system command to refresh the system LINKLIST:

    MODIFY LLA,REFRESH

Task 4.4.3: Update the StrobeCLISTS, PROCs, and Jobs

Make the following changes to point to the test version:

  1. In the hlq.SSTRCLST library CLIST SRCLIST member, change STRBCSR to STRTCSR.
  2. In hlq.SSTRCLST library CLIST STROBE member, change STRBISPF to STRTISPF.
  3. In the following hlq.SSTRPROC library PROCS — STROB, STROBE, STROBEAF, STROBECI, STROBECS, STROBECU, STROBECX, STROBEC2, STROBEFG, STROBEFH, STROBEPF, and STROBEEX2 — change STRBCSR to STRTCSR.
  4. In the following hlq.SSTRSAMP library jobs — DDIOPLI1, INDEXFOR, STRANSMP, STRBIT, and TESTSTR — change STRBCSR to STRTCSR.

Task 4.4.4: Create Global Monitoring Datasets (if applicable)

Create a separate set of Repository and Criteria datasets for the new version. See Maintaining Two Releases of Global Monitoring for more information.
