Adding the BMC load library to your system APF list


Use the following procedures to temporarily or permanently authorize the BMC load library.

Tip

This task is optional for all products.

To temporarily authorize the BBLINK library

  1. Create UBBSAMP member BAIAPF.
  2. Copy BBILIB member BAIAPF to the new member.
  3. Change the PROC statement PREFIX parameter from @PREFIX to prefix, where prefix is the high-level qualifier for the BMC AMI Ops product libraries.
  4. Change the PROC statement LIB parameter from @BBIAPF to the name of a previously authorized library.
  5. Change the PROC statement VOL parameter from @BBIVOL to the VOLSER of the volume where BMC AMI Ops product libraries reside.
  6. Submit the job.

To permanently authorize the BBLINK library

Use the Authorized Program Facility (APF) to update either SYS1.PARMLIB member IEAAPFxx or, for SP 5 and above, SYS1.PARMLIB member PROGxx:


Library member

Variable description

IEAAPFxx

xx identifies the APF suffix specified in the IEASYS member that was used for the last system IPL. An IPL is required before the SYS1.PARMLIB change can take effect.

PROGxx

xx identifies the member in SYS1.PARMLIB that contains the parameters that define the list of APF-authorized libraries.

Important

You can specify multiple PROGxx members with the PROG parameter as follows:

PROG=(xx,.xx..,)

xx can be any two alphanumeric characters. An example follows:

PROG=(11,12)

Libraries are placed in the APF list as follows:

  • Libraries specified in the PROGxx members are processed.
  • If you have an existing IEAAPFxx member and PROGxx, both are processed.

    To use only PROG xx, change IEAAPFxx to PROGxx and remove the APF parameters from IEASYSxx and IEASYS00.

  • If you have both PROGxx and EXITxx, PROGxx is processed first, then EXITxx.

    To use only PROGxx, change EXITxx to PROGxx and remove the EXIT parameters from IEASYSxx and IEASYS00.

    An IPL is required before the SYS1.PARMLIB change can take effect. Alternatively, you can authorize the new libraries with the MVS SET command as follows:

    T PROG=xx

    xx identifies the SYS1.PARMLIB member.

    For more information about APF authorization, see the IBM Initialization and Tuning Reference manual for your operating system.
