Modifying the CMRSOPT with the macro

Use the following procedure to modify the CMRSOPT using the macro:

  1. Copy member CMRASM from BBSAMP to the UBBSAMP data set, and make sure the new member name conforms to your site’s naming conventions.
  2. Read the comments in the member that was created in step 1, and then modify the JCL accordingly.Keep the following information in mind:
    • CMRSOPT must be assembled and linked into BBLINK or an authorized load library that is concatenated in front of BBLINK.
    • CMRSOPT must be linked non-reentrant.
    • You must include the BBSAMP data set in the assembler SYSLIB concatenation.

  3. Modify the sample CMRUSOPT according to your site’s monitoring requirements.A sample CMRUSOPT is in a member of the same name in your BBSAMP data set. CMRUSOPT contains the default specifications and it is used to create the distributed module CMRSOPT. You should edit this member for your site's monitoring requirements.

    Note

    If you want to set the same monitoring conditions for all your CICS regions, name the load module CMRSOPT. If you need different monitoring conditions for each region, rename the load module to the name of the CICS region with which it is associated (for example, CICSPROD). CMRSOPT is the default name if there are no load modules with a region name. BMC recommends that you use the CMRSOPT administration views instead of editing the CMRUSOPT module.

    The CMRSOPT module contains three types of statements:

    • TYPE=INITIAL
    • TYPE=resource
    • TYPE=FINAL

    Each statement includes a group of parameters that specify characteristic monitoring conditions. The following sections describe each that is parameter associated with the three CMRSOPT statements.

  4. Submit the JCL and check the job output to make sure all steps are completed with a return code of 0. 

    Note

    S106 abends can occur if the newly link-edited module causes the BBLINK data set to enter secondary extents and the active BBI-SS PAS attempts to load the module. If this situation happens, stop the BBI-SS PAS and restart it.
