Specifying the context for master and agent PASs

If you intend to run iCap across multiple CPCs in a CMP environment, you must specify the context for the master and agent PASs that you want iCap to manage.

Setting up iCap

Verify that you created the JCL for starting an iCap master and agent PASs. You should have created this JCL during customization, as instructed in Customizing after installation. For an example of the JCL, see Generated JCL examples.

Important

iCap does not support running version 2.0 agents in a CMP environment.


To specify the context for a PAS

  1.  Specify the CON=context JCL parameter for all master and agent PASs that are running on LPARs that you want iCap to manage.

    Important

    Observe the following guidelines:

    • context must be five characters long.
    • The default value for CON is the ID of the CPC on which the master or agent PAS is running. If you want to manage multiple CPCs, do not use the default value. You must specify a value for CON.
    • If your master PAS and agent PASs have the same CON value, iCap considers them as one CMP.
    • You cannot specify the same CON value for multiple master PASs.
    • The CON parameter is valid only for agents running version 3.0 or later.
