Common Product Install Procedure

All our products and utilities are supplied in a common format
The 6 common steps below will catalog the product or utility on your system
Please start with the following 6 steps...

The product distribution file contains 1 VSE job within 1 POWER job
Unzip this distribution file
Upload the unzipped file to the POWER RDR queue (Binary Lrecl 80 Recfm F
Run this uploaded POWER job
The job will prompt you for the target VSE library and sublibrary names
Punch out any .B and .Z members just cataloged - they contain samples and JCL

Uploading the unzipped file to the POWER RDR queue.

From a PC-based 3270 session, sign-on to the Interactive User Interface. Select 'Operations', 'Personal Computer Move Utilities', 'PC File Transfer'. You should then see the message 'Please switch to PC mode to initiate a file transfer or press PF3 to quit'. Switch to PC mode and enter the PC command:

For VSE/ESA releases before 1.3.0:

SEND jobname.jcl jobname (LRECL=80 BINARY

This will transfer the product installation jcl file to the Host Transfer File with the name of jobname. Once complete switch back to host mode. Select 'Operations', 'Personal Computer Move Utilities', 'Move Files from Host Transfer File to ICCF'. Move the newly uploaded file into an ICCF library member. Then you can submit it to power using your usual submit procedure.

For VSE/ESA 1.3.0 or higher:

SEND jobname.jcl (LRECL=80 BINARY FILE=RDR

Note: These directions assume you have changed the PC directory to that in which you unzipped the product installation jcl. The command format may have to be modified to conform to the requirements of your particular 3270 terminal emulator.


Now continue with those steps below applicable to the specific product or utility

Dbugpgm

Add the following entries to your CICS CSD:

CEDA DEF GROUP(DBUG) PROG(DBUGPGM) LANGUAGE(ASSEMBLER)
CEDA DEF GROUP(DBUG) TRANS(DBUG) PROGRAM(DBUGPGM)

Install the group just added:

CEDA INST GROUP(DBUG)

See our Support page for instructions on using Dbugpgm

Despool

See our Support page for instructions on using Despool

Minimon

Add the following entries to your CICS CSD:

CEDA DEF GROUP(MINI) PROG(MINICAB) LANGUAGE(ASSEMBLER) EXECKEY(USER)
CEDA DEF GROUP(MINI) PROG(MINIMON) LANGUAGE(ASSEMBLER) EXECKEY(CICS)
CEDA DEF GROUP(MINI) TRANS(MINI) PROGRAM(MINIMON)

Install the group just added:

CEDA INST GROUP(MINI)

To automatically start Minimon in CICS, MINIMON may be added to the PLTPI:

DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=MINIMON

To stop the long-running Minimon service task in CICS, MINIMON may be added to the PLTSD in the first stage (before the entry for DFHDELIM):

DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=MINIMON

For CICS/TS, CICS Monitoring must be enabled for Minimon to create its transaction records:

DFHSIT MN=ON,MNPER=ON

Locate DASD space for the two data collection files, if not using DMF:

MINIPRI and MINISEC DASD labels:

These two labels must be placed in System Stsndard Labels, only when you
wish to collect data for later batch reporting via MINIREP.

// OPTION STDLABEL=ADD
// DLBL MINIPRI,'MINIMON.MINIPRI',0,SD
// EXTENT SYSREC,SYSWK1,,,473600,2656
// DLBL MINISEC,'MINIMON.MINISEC',0,SD
// EXTENT SYSREC,SYSWK1,,,476256,2656
// OPTION USRLABEL

The properties for the MINIPRI and MINISEC data collection files are:

- DTFSD
- RECFORM=FIXUNB
- For an input DTFSD, specify BLKSIZE=216
- For an output DTFSD, specify LRECL=216 and BLKSIZE=224
- For CKD, as many 216-byte records as will fit per track are written
- For FBA, two (2) 216-byte records are written per FBA block
- Data is uncompressed fixed format records
- Records are written in chronological order: at end of Batch job step and end of CICS task

Notes:

These two labels must be for sequential disk extents.
VSAM ESDS or VSAM/SAM cannot be used.
Do not use a DASD manager to allocate these extents.
The extents should be adjusted accordingly for your DASD and system usage.
Due to the use of SYSREC, these single extent files must be allocated on SYSWK1.

Storage requirements:

SVA 31-bit: 428K
SVA 24-bit: 40K
SVA GETVIS 31-bit: 255K
SVA GETVIS 24-bit: 61K
CICS: 80K
Minivtm: 133K plus 4K in 24-bit SVA

If 31-bit SVA is not available, Minimon will try to use 24-bit SVA.
Minimon loads all its own phases into the non-Getvis SVA.
These phases should NOT be pre-loaded via 'SET SDL'.

Local configuration member: MINIMON.CONFIG

An example MINIMON.CONFIG options member is supplied with the product as a member called MINIMON.CONFIG in the installation VSE library.sublibrary.

This member should be punched out via LIBR, reviewed for applicability, and then cataloged in the VSE PRD2.CONFIG sublibrary.
