Creating a BBI-SS PAS start procedure

Use the following procedure to create a BBI-SS PAS start procedure.

Note

  • The default region size for the PAS is 64 MB. If you reduce this allocation and not enough working storage is available after initialization, the PAS terminates with an error message.

The job contained in member IIZJCL should run as a Started Task; otherwise, a JES initiator is occupied for the duration of the BBI-SS PAS session. To run IIZJCL as a Started Task, remove the JOBCARD statement and the PEND and EXEC statements at the end of the JCL. Then, copy the IIZJCL JCL procedure to a JES PROCLIB.

  • If you have IBM RACF or an equivalent external security manager (ESM), verify that the BBI-SS PAS has authorization to access and update BMC II for z/OS product data sets.
  • START=COLD should be used only as instructed by BMC Customer Support, or when the BBI-SS PAS requests it through WTOR after maintenance.

To create a BBI-SS PAS Started Task procedure

  1. In BBSAMP member IIZJCL , make the following changes:
    1. Specify the BBI-SS PAS SSID that was set in the CLIST SS( ) parameter.For more information, see Creating-BMC-II-for-z-OS-CLIST-and-copy-default-parameters.
    2. Use the default parameter START=WARM.
    3. Set the PREFIX parameter that was used to load the product libraries to DASD.
  2. Ensure that your UBBPARM data set is concatenated before the BBPARM data set.
  3. Set up the IBM TCP/IP product:

    1. If the following TCP/IP libraries are not available in the system linklist, add them to the STEPLIB:tcpprefix.SEZATCP tcpprefix.SEZALINK

      tcpprefix is the prefix that was defined when you installed TCP/IP.

    2. To specify which TCP/IP stack the PAS should use if you are running multiple stacks, add the following TCP/IP configuration statement to member IIZJCL://SYSTCPD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=tcpprefix.CNTL(tcpipdata)

      tcpipdata is the name of the member that contains the TCP/IP configuration information that TCP/IP client programs require.

    3. To specify which TCP/IP stack the connection should use if you are running multiple stacks (this overwrites the SYSTCPD DD),  add the following to the connection configuration file (IIMCNFxx):
       UseTCPIPStack=<TCPIP image to be used for this connection>
