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.FMID.SMPMCS
  • AMIHLQ.FMID.SMPEUPDT
Warning

Important

The FMID is pre-defined and specified in the allocation JCL and you do not need to change this value. The format is like the following example:

AMIHLQ.SCZA710.SMPMCS

The SMP/E FMID for BMC AMI Datastream version 7.1.00 is SCZA710.

To update the SMP/E environment

In the AMIHLQ.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).
