Accessing CSM

This procedure describes accessing CSM for the first time.

  1. Obtain and enter a valid key for the MainView AutoOPERATOR for z/OS option. Refer to the Installation System User Guidefor information about how to install and activate passwords.The MainView AutoOPERATOR for z/OS option is required for CSM processing, which includes issuing both z/OS commands and SYSPROG services.

  2. In BBPARM member AAOPRM00, specify that the RULESET parameter includes the AAORULBC, AAORULBD, AAORULBE and AAORULBG Rule Set suffixes; for example:RULESET=(BC,BD,BE,BG)

    These Rule Sets are shipped with the high-level qualifier BBPARM and are required for CSM to function.

    Do not use any of the Rule Sets from your previously installed version. Use only the AAORULBC, AAORULBD, AAORULBE, and AAORULBG Rule Sets that came with this release.

    In addition, CSM also requires other Rule Sets to function that must be added to this parameter. CSM requires you to create at least one group and requires each group to have a Rule Set associated with it. Once the group Rule Sets are created, add the Rule Set suffix to the RULESET parameter.

  3. In BBPARM member AAOPRM00, set the RULESCAN parameter to I for INDIVIDUAL.The RULESCAN parameter controls the global automation strategy for all MainView AutoOPERATOR Rules. For more information about Rules and automation strategy, refer to the MainView AutoOPERATOR Basic Automation Guide, Volume 1: Using Rules.
  4. In BBPARM member AAOEXP00, enter the names of all CSM EXECs and ensure that these EXECs are defined as High Priority. The names of the CSM EXECs are listed in the AAOEXP00 member.

  5. Create a Shared Repository data set to contain all defined CSM objects and schedules.If the IBM library for SAA REXX/370 (program number 5695-014) is not available, customize the BBREXALT JCL found in BBSAMP to run on your system. Submit BBREXALT to install the REXX/370 alternate library. Add the BBLINK to the STEPLIB concatenation of the INITCSM batch job. If you do not run this job, the complied REXX object in INITCSM will fail.

    Create the repository data set by running the batch job contained in BBSAMP member named INITCSM. For more information, refer to Creating-a-shared-repository-data-set-for-CSM.

  6. In BBPARM member BBIVARxx member, specify the name of the Shared Repository.Use the BBPARM member BBIVARxx to define a preset shared variable for CSM. The SHARED variable that must be present for CSM to function properly is

    CSMREPDS = hilevel.datasetname

    where

    • CSMREPDS: is the name of a shared variable that must be present for CSM to function correctly
    • hilevel.datasetname: is the name of the Shared Repository data set created in

    Note

    If you are implementing CSM in an environment where the MainView AutoOPERATOR subsystems have JESFLTR parameters specified in the BBISSPxx member, and you are running more than one CSM system on an LPAR, you need to add a line in the BBIVARxx member: CSMMDSPL = 'Y'

    This action creates a shared variable that the CSM Rule Sets use to determine whether certain communications messages are suppressed or not.

  7. Start the BBI-SS PAS and specify START=COLD,VPOOL=RESETWhen the cold start is complete, the BBI Journal should contain the following message:

    ACM003I CSM initialization complete

    By completing these steps, CSM automatically initializes at BBI-SS PAS startup when message PM0010I is issued.
