Reviewing the startup JCL procedure

Follow these steps to review and configure the startup JCL procedure and apply the product key:

1. In the samples library, locate the following sample startup procedure:
   • RSSPROC for the server address space
   • RSSMPROC for the master address space
   • RSSTPROC for the TSO address space
2. Copy the procedures to your production running procedure library and change the data set names to reflect those built during installation.
3. Make sure that the RSSPARM DD statement refers to the RSS configuration member that you prepared in "Reviewing the product configuration" (see the hyperlink in Related topics).

4. Configure the EXEC PARM for the RSS server and agent address spaces. The EXEC PARM supports multiple parameters://RSSSTEP EXEC PGM=RSS,PARM='RSSID=rssId,SCOPE=scope'

   The Scope parameter is optional and is used to control the block of configuration parameters processed by this product instance. For more information, see Configuring the Scope parameter.
   
   When an RSS address space needs to interact with a product server address space (such as Agent or RSS TSO address spaces), assign the same product ID to each address space.

   If you need multiple product server address spaces in the same sysplex, give each one a unique product ID.

   For product TSO address spaces, the syntax to define the RSSID is slightly different because of the need to include the IKJEFT01 entry point:
   //RSSTSO EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01, 
   // PARM='CALL *(RSSTSO) ''RSSID=rssId'' '

5. (SPE2107) To obtain a product key, send an email to customer_support@bmc.com or open a support case at BMC Support.

   When you receive the key, you also receive an email with the sample JCL to build the key in the BMC password data set. Substitute the data set names as follows:
   //STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.RSMLOAD
   //SYSLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.BMCPSWD

6. (SPE2107) Add the BMCPSWD DD statement to the started task JCL, pointing to the BMC password data set:
   //BMCPSWD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.BMCPSWD

7. (SPE2204) For local REXX processing, define the REXX directory by using the ECIREXX DD statement:
   //ECIREXX DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SSPR.REXX.EXECTo write the REXX output to a file or a separate DD statement, use the SYSTSPRT DD statement. For example:
   //SYSTSPRT DD   SYSOUT=*

Where to go from here

After you complete this step, the product is fully installed and configured and ready to be started. See Verifying-the-installation.
