Step 4: Customize the JCL

About this task

Solutions Enabler includes a REXX exec program, SEMJCL, to expedite the JCL customization process by allowing you to create a site-specific ISPF edit macro in your CLIST library and then running it against every member of the RIMLIB whose name starts with a pound sign (#).

NOTE:

If you prefer to manually customize the JCL, customize the # prefixed members as necessary, and then continue with Step 5: Run the jobs.

To use SEMJCL:

Steps

  1. In the Utilities.DSList (3.4) of the main ISPF menu, type the first few qualifiers of your RIMLIB dataset name, and then press Enter.

    The RIMLIB displays as part of the DSLIST.

  2. Scroll to the RIMLIB dataset and type M in the command field.

    The member list for the RIMLIB dataset displays.

  3. Scroll to the SEMJCL member in the RIMLIB, and then type exec (or ex ) in the input area to the left of the member name.
    This executes the SEMJCL exec, which displays the customization screen:

  4. Enter your site-specific information according to the following:
    NOTE:

    To cancel the SEMJCL, press PF3 (that is, the END key).

    1. In the Data set name Prefix field, enter the high-level qualifier and any additional qualifiers to be used when allocating new Solutions Enabler datasets.
    2. In the SMP/E Data set prefix field, enter the prefix of the SPM/E datasets where Dell Mainframe Enablers Base is installed.
    3. In the SCF Subsystem Id field, enter the subsystem name of the SCF address space. The default is EMC.
    4. In the SCF Linklib Prefix field, enter the prefix of the SCF load module library corresponding to the subsystem you entered above.
    5. In the Disk unit name field, enter a valid unit name defined at your site to be used in the UNIT= operand when allocating new Solutions Enabler datasets. The default is SYSDA.
    6. In the Disk Volume Serial field, enter the volume serial number of the DASD volume where the new Solutions Enabler datasets will be allocated.
    7. In the Time Zone field, enter the appropriate setting for your time zone location. This setting must be a POSIX-compliant time zone value. This value is used to set the TZ environment variable of the Solutions Enabler task. If you do not supply a value, the time stamps of the Solutions Enabler internal messages written to the log files will default to UTC time.

      For example, entering a value of EST5 will set the time stamp to the United States Eastern Standard Time, 5 hours earlier than UTC.

      CAUTION:

      The default time zone value is UTC time.

    8. In the SYMAPI Base Directory field, specify the location of the Unix System Services directory under which the SYMAPI runtime directories will be created.
      NOTE:

      The userid used in the Solutions Enabler batch jobs must have write access to the entire SYMAPI base directory.

    9. In the Job Card Information field, specify up to four statements for your job card.

      A default job card is filled in, including a place holder for accounting field, programmer name value, CLASS=A, MSGCLASS=A, and NOTIFY operands. The JOBNAME and NOTIFY= operands use the TSO ID of the user running the SEMJCL process.

      If you use %member% in the jobname field in the job card, the RIMLIB member name will be used as the job name.

      NOTE:

      Statement syntax is not validated until jobs are submitted.

    10. Press Enter.

      SEMJCL generates an edit macro and uses the ISPF editor to apply the specified values to all the installation jobs. At this point in the procedure, all of the installation jobs have been edited with site-specific information and are ready to run.
