Running the SMP/E update process

If your site requires an SMP/E installation for vendor product installations, run the SMP/E update installation process.

Before you begin

You must have previously performed a base product SMP/E installation of BMC AMI Datastream before performing this update. For more information, see Running-the-SMP-E-installation-process.

To create the SMP/E files

In the AMIHLQ.SPEAGENT.XMIT data set there is an SMPEUPDT member that you customize and run to update the SMP/E installation files.

1. Open the SMPEUPDT member for editing.
2. Add your site-specific JOB card.
3. Change the following references to your variable value:
   
   • AMIHLQ
   • AMISC
   • (Optional) AMIMC (depends on site requirements)
4. Modify the file according to your SMS requirements:
   
   • If your site requires an SMS management class specification, uncomment the following JCL statements:
     • All MGMTCLAS=&MCLASS.
     • SET MCLASS=
   • If you do not use SMS, modify the file as follows:
     • Change all references to AMIVS to your variable value.
     • Comment out the following JCL statements:
       • All STORCLAS=&SCLASS.
       • All MGMTCLAS=&MCLASS.
       • SET SCLASS=
       • SET MCLASS=
       • Uncomment the following JCL statements:
         • All VOL=SER=&VOLSER.
         • SET VOLSER=
5. Submit the customized job.

The job allocates and populates the following data sets:

• AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.FMID.SMPMCS
• AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.FMID.SMPEUPDT

To update the SMP/E environment

In the AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.FMID.SMPEUPDT data set are jobs that you customize and run to to build the SMP/E environment and populate the SMP/E data sets.

For each job, use the following procedure:

1. Open the job JCL file for editing.
2. Add your site-specific JOB card.
3. Change the following references to your variable value:
   
   • AMIHLQ
   • AMISC
   • (Optional) AMIMC (depends on site requirements)
4. Modify the file according to your SMS requirements:
   
   • If your site requires an SMS management class specification, uncomment the following JCL statements:
     • MGMTCLAS=&MCLASS.
     • SET MCLASS=
   • If you do not use SMS, modify the file as follows:
     • Change all references to AMIVS to your variable value.
     • Comment out the following JCL statements:
       • All STORCLAS=&SCLASS.
       • All MGMTCLAS=&MCLASS.
       • SET SCLASS=
       • SET MCLASS=
       • Uncomment the following JCL statements:
         • All VOL=SER=&VOLSER.
         • SET VOLSER=
5. Run the customized jobs in the following order:
   1. SPEBKUP Backup existing SMP/E data sets and delete the base SMP/E function (SCZA610)
   2. SPEALLOC Allocate new product data sets
   3. SPERECV Receive the new SMP/E Function (SCZA610)
   4. SPEAPPLY Apply the new SMP/E Function (SCZA610)
   5. SPEACCPT Accept the new SMP/E Function (SCZA610).
