Installing the Mainframe Application

Installing the Mainframe Application

This chapter describes how to install the mainframe application from its distribution tape using the System Modification Program Extended (SMP/E), Release 7 or later. The distribution tape cartridge contains all of the materials required to install the mainframe application. This chapter contains the following main sections:

Migrating From a Previous Version of SNA View

If you are migrating from a previous version of SNA View to CiscoWorks Blue Maps or SNA View, you will want to make these changes:

Using CiscoWorks Blue Release 2.1 Workstation Software with SNA View Release 1.2 or 2.0 Mainframe

If you use a TCP/IP connection, you can migrate your workstations to CiscoWorks Blue release 2.1 while leaving the mainframe at release 1.2 or 2.0. CiscoWorks Blue release 2.1 Maps and SNA View applications work and communicate with the older release 1.2 or 2.0 mainframe application over TCP/IP, but only at the release 1.2 or 2.0 level of function. If you chose to leave the mainframe at release 1.2 or 2.0 for now, you should plan to upgrade it to release 2.1 soon to get the full release 2.1 capability.


Note LU6.2 Users: If you plan to upgrade the workstations to release 2.1 and use LU 6.2 communication, you must upgrade the mainframe to release 2.1 as well. Both mainframe and workstation must be at release 2.1 to benefit from the improvements in reliability and efficiency of the LU 6.2 connection found in release 2.1.

Note If you plan to connect a workstation running CiscoWorks Blue release 2.1 to a mainframe running SNA View release 1.2 using TCP/IP, set MESSAGES OFF in the NSPPARM file on the mainframe to avoid connectivity problems.

Installation Notes

Installing the Mainframe Application

This section describes how to install the mainframe application. By default, the mainframe application is installed in the MVS zone (zone Z038), but you can change the zone as described in "Installing CiscoWorks Blue in a Different Zone."

Two methods for installing the mainframe application from its distribution tape are provided. After you have run the job to unload the installation data set, prefix.NSPS210I.NSPSINST, you can install the application using either the direct method, or using SMP/E Release 7 or later. When you run any of the sample jobs specified in the remainder of this chapter to install the application, be sure to modify the JCL for your installation environment.

Installing the Mainframe Application Directly

If you have chosen to directly install the application, run the sample job provided in the CPYNSP member of the installation data set, prefix.NSPS210I.NSPSINST. CPYNSP copies the following data sets from the tape to DASD:

Installing the Mainframe Application Using SMP/E

If you do not want to install the mainframe application using the direct method, you can use SMP/E to install the software. By default, the mainframe application is installed in the MVS zone. To install the mainframe application in the MVS zone (zone Z038) on your mainframe, follow the steps listed below. These steps use the SMP/E JCL installation samples from the distribution tape.

Step 1 Use the sample SMP/E JCL named UNLOAD to unload the prefix.NSPS210I.NSPSINST data set from the tape and load it on your mainframe.

//UNLOAD JOB (ACCT#), // 'PGMRNAME', // NOTIFY=&SYSUID, // CLASS=A, // MSGCLASS=O, // MSGLEVEL=(1,1) //**************************************************************** //**************************************************************** //* //* PROCEDURE: UNLOAD //* //* FUNCTION: UNLOAD THE INSTALLATION SAMPLES //* //* NOTE: //* CHANGE ALL LOWER CASE CHARACTERS TO VALUES SUITABLE //* FOR YOUR INSTALLATION. //* //*************************************************************** //*************************************************************** //UNLOAD EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //TAPE DD DISP=OLD,DSN=NSP.NSPS210.F5, // VOL=SER=NSP210, // UNIT=tape,LABEL=(6,SL) //DISK DD DSN=prefix.NSPS210I.NSPSINST,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=3380, // VOL=SER=xxxxxx, // SPACE=(TRK,(1,1,2)), // DCB=(RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=6160,LRECL=80) //SYSIN DD * COPY INDD=TAPE,OUTDD=DISK /*

Step 2 Use the sample SMP/E JCL named ALLOC, in prefix.NSPS210I.NSPSINST, to allocate your target and distribution libraries.

Step 3 Use the sample SMP/E JCL named RECNSP, in prefix.NSPS210I.NSPSINST, to receive the mainframe application.

Step 4 Use the sample SMP/E JCL named APPNSP, in prefix.NSPS210I.NSPSINST, to apply the mainframe application.

Step 5 Use the sample SMP/E JCL named ACCNSP, in prefix.NSPS210I.NSPSINST, to accept the mainframe application.

You have completed loading the mainframe application files from the distribution tape. The next step is to configure the mainframe application software. Go to the chapter, "Updating the Mainframe Application Software."
