Invoking the Main Menu from the ISPF Primary Menu


If you choose to invoke products from the ISPF Primary Menu, you can use either of the following approaches.

  • Issue the following invocation command from the ISPF command line:
    COMMAND===>TSO EXEC 'hiqual.midqual.CLIST(B1MVSGP)'

Note

You can invoke products from the command line on any ISPF panel (except an EDIT panel). 

If you use either approach to invoke the products, you must provide for the proper allocation of ISPF libraries. If you choose to add an option to the ISPF Primary Menu, you must tailor member ISR@PRIM in the ISPF panel library. The following sections describe these requirements.

Standard ISPF library allocation techniques

Regardless of the invocation method used, whenever you invoke one of the BMC AMI Capacity Management products, you must make allocations for the ISPF libraries and the libraries supplied with the product. BMC uses LIBDEFs to handle allocation of the required libraries.

Tailoring member ISR_PRIM in the ISPF panel library

If you want to invoke the BMC AMI Capacity Management menu from the ISPF Primary Menu, you must tailor the panel (ISR@PRIM) of your ISPF panel library. BMC supplies a standard version of this panel (named BGS@PRIM).

If this supplied version is acceptable, proceed as follows:

  1. Edit
    hiqual.midqual.ISPPLIB(BGS@PRIM)
    and make hiqual.midqual consistent with the hiqual.midqual that you specified for your installation.
  2. Replace your ISR@PRIM member with the member BGS@PRIM.

If your regular main menu is different from the BMC version and you want to retain it, do the following actions:

  1. Match the BGS@PRIM member to the ISR@PRIM panel at your site.
    The BGS@PRIM member of hiqual.midqual.ISPPLIB includes the standard options provided by IBM, as well as a new option for selecting the BMC AMI Capacity Management menu.
  2. If your site has added other options that you want to use, edit ISR@PRIM as follows to add just the BMC AMI Capacity Management menu option:

      1. Type the following line in the body of the panel to create a new menu option.
        B + BMC Products - Display BMC Capacity Management for Mainframes Menu
      2. In the PROC section of the panel, use the following statement as a choice for &ZSEL:
        B, 'CMD(EX ''hiqual.midqual.CLIST(B1MVSGP)'')NEWAPPL(GPM)'
        You must manually tailor hiqual and midqual to be the same values that you chose for hiqual and midqual, when you unloaded the distribution tape.  

Note

 If you already have an Option B, you can use another letter or number, as long as you use the same letter or number in both parts of step 2.
