Limited supportBMC provides limited support for this version of the product. As a result, BMC no longer accepts comments in this space. If you encounter problems with the product version or the space, contact BMC Support. BMC recommends upgrading to the latest version of the product.

Running the SMP/E installation process


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

BMC recommends that you create a new SMP/E environment for a new version of BMC AMI Datastream for z/OS. Do not reuse an existing BMC AMI Datastream SMP/E environment.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have already installed the BMC AMI Datastream product files.

To create the SMP/E installation files

In the AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.XMIT data set there is an SMPEINST member that you customize and run to create the SMP/E installation files.

  1. Open the SMPEINST 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 member 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 member 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 for execution.

The job allocates and populates the following data sets:

  • AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.FMID.SMPMCS
  • AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.FMID.SMPEJCL

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.CZAGENT.SCZA620.SMPMCS

The SMP/E FMID for BMC AMI Datastream version 6.2.00 is SCZA620.

To create the SMP/E environment and run the installation

In the AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.FMID.SMPEJCL 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 member 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 member 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:

    Job

    Description

    DSALLOC

    Allocates the SMP/E data sets and populates the F1 – F6 RELFILE data sets required to build the SMP/E product libraries.

    MAKECSI

    Allocates the SMP/E CSI

    Customize this job according to the previous instructions and the following changes:

    • If required, uncomment the MGMTCLAS(…) statement in the CSI IDCAMS DEFINE statement. Otherwise, delete this statement.
    • If you use SMS, delete the VOLUMES(…) statement from the CSI IDCAMS DEFINE statement.
    • If you do not use SMS, delete the STORCLAS(…) and MGMTCLAS(…) from the CSI IDCAMS DEFINE statement and uncomment the VOLUMES(…) statement.

    MKDDDEFS

    Defines the SMP/E Target and Distribution libraries to the SMP/E CSI.

    SPERECV

    Receive the product files into the SMP/E data sets

    SPEAPPLY

    Apply the product into the SMP/E Target Zone

    SPEACCPT

    Accept the product into the SMP/E Distribution Zone

    SPECLEAN

    This is an optional job that will delete all the non-SMP/E data sets. After running this job, you have the following data sets:

    • AMIHLQ.ACZAvrm.ARCH9.LOAD
    • AMIHLQ.ACZAvrm.ASM
    • AMIHLQ.ACZAvrm.C 
    • AMIHLQ.ACZAvrm.CNTL
    • AMIHLQ.ACZAvrm.EXEC
    • AMIHLQ.ACZAvrm.LOAD
    • AMIHLQ.ACZAvrm.PARM
    • AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.XMIT
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.ARCH9.LOAD
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.ASM
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.C
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.CNTL
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.CSI
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.DATA
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.EXEC
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.INDEX
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.LOAD
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.PARM
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPEJCL
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPHOLD
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPLOG
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPLTS
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPMCS
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPMTS
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPPTS
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPSCDS
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.SMPSTS

    The vrm placeholder specifies the product version number. For example, SCZA620 is version 6.2.00 of BMC AMI Datastream.

  6. To rebuild the base BMC AMI Datastream data sets, rerun the INSTALL job in the AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.XMIT data set.

    Warning

    Do not rerun the SMPEINST job.

    This deletes the existing AMIHLQ.CZAGENT.SMPEJCL data set and you will lose all your customized SMP/E installation jobs.

  7. Configure the JCL for BMC AMI Datastream to reflect your SMP/E target data set names. Change the following members:
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.CNTL(CZAGENT)
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.CNTL(CZAGNJOB)
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.CNTL(CZALSPAC)
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.CNTL(CZASEND)
    • AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm.CNTL(IND$CONF)
  8. Change all occurrences of AMIHLQ.CZAGENT to AMIHLQ.SCZAvrm in each member.
