Creating a BBI-SS PAS PARMFILE data set

Important

If you have customized your product via EZCONFIG, a BBI-SS PAS PARMFILE data set is created automatically. Use the information in this topic to re-create it if required. 


Use the following procedure (which uses member @@YZZ061 as a model) to create the BBI-SS PAS PARMFILE data set.

Tip

This task is optional for the following products and does not apply to other products:

  • BMC AMI Ops Automation
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Offline
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for MQ

You can use @@YZZ061 as a model to help you create the PARMFILE data set that is required for a BBI-SS PAS.

A PARMFILE data set is a VSAM data set that stores the names and current status of historical data sets. When historical data sets are listed in PARMFILE, you can dynamically enable them with commands from the DSLIST view.

Important

A separate PARMFILE data set is required for each PAS.

To allocate a PARMFILE data set

  1. Copy BBILIB member @@YZZ061 to a UBBSAMP data set.@@YZZ061 contains sample JCL to allocate a VSAM data set with IDCAMS DEFINE CLUSTER statements.
  2. Edit the @@YZZ061 member as follows:
    1. Change all instances of ?BAVSHLQ to the high-level qualifier that you chose for your PARMFILE data set.
    2. Change all instances of ?BBCHILV to the high-level qualifier that you chose for your installation libraries.
    3. Change all instances of ?BAVIMID to the subsystem ID of the BBI-SS PAS.
    4. Change all instances of ?BBVVOL to the name of the volume where the data sets will be allocated.
    5. Change all instances of ?BBPUNIT to the unit name of the volume that will store the PARMFILE data set.
  3. Submit the @@YZZ061 job.The PARMFILE data set is allocated and formatted using an initial record format that is shipped in BBILIB member @@YZZ062.
  4. Check the job output for condition code 0.If the condition code is not 0, review the job output messages.
