Enter SMP/E settings

The BMC EP Setup interface enables SMP/E installation of the selected product(s) and/or maintenance files directly from your PC.

1. Click the SMP/E Install tab. The dialog shown in the following figure appears, listing the product installation and/or maintenance files you uploaded previously.
   The message No Products Uploaded Yet is a reminder that you have to upload product installation and/or maintenance files before you can upload the SMP/E JCL.

   Warning

   Important

   Do not click either of the Upload SMP/E JCL to the Mainframe buttons until all required fields, including those under SMP/E Options, have been filled in. Be sure to use names or hlq that you have UPDATE or ALTER access for as necessary.

2.  Specify the basic values to be used during the SMP/E process as follows:
   

   • In the 

     BMC AMI DevX

      GLOBAL CSI Dataset field, enter the name of the CSI data set used for 

     BMC AMI DevX

      products. The default is SYS1.

     CPWR

     .GLOBAL.CSI.

   • Click the appropriate button under Does the Global CSI already exist? depending on whether the CSI exists and, if so, whether it has been set up for BMC use.

   • In the HLQ for 

     BMC AMI DevX

      SMP/E Datasets field, enter the high-level qualifier to be used for the SMP/E data sets on the mainframe. The default is SYS1.

     CPWR

     .GLOBAL.

   • In the BMC AMI DevX Products High-level qualifier field, enter the high-level qualifier associated with the products to be installed. The default is SYS1.CPWR.

     Warning

     Important

     The value entered in this field becomes the default for the High Level Qualifier fields on the Zone Info part of the screen in the next step. Any HLQ you enter there will override the default value for installing that specific product.

   • In the DASD Unit field, enter the appropriate symbolic unit. The default is SYSDA.
   • (Optional) In the DASD Volser field, enter the appropriate storage volume serial information. Be sure the target volume has enough space to hold all your files.

   • In the SMP/E Work Unit field, enter the name of the appropriate SMP/E work symbolic unit. The default is SYSDA.

     Warning

     Important

     We recommend not to use a value of VIO. The SMPE work files can be quite large and it is very likely you will run out of VIO storage if you set this value to VIO.

   DevEnterprise requires a DSN for the Host Communications loadlib (SLHCLOAD), and if that field is left blank, a message may appear. If you are installing DevEnterprise, click Cancel, enter a DSN for SLHCLOAD, and retry the upload. Otherwise click OK to dismiss the message and continue with the installation.
