Migrating from ISM V1R3.0

ISM V2 does not coexist with ISM V1R3.0. If your site uses ISM V1R3.0, you can migrate existing mainframe definitions and user profiles to ISM V2.

This chapter provides detailed instructions for migrating data from ISM V1R3.0, in the following sections:

• Benefits of Migrating

• Handling ISM Data

• Converting ISM V1R3.0 Files

• Planning the Next Steps

Before migrating data from ISM V1R3.0, complete the following tasks:

•Read "Preparing to Install ISM" Make a copy of your existing NetView procedure and a backup copy of the NetView DSIPARM data set.

•Perform the installation tasks described in Chapter 3, "Installing ISM."

If after migrating to ISM V2, you can remove the ISM V1R3.0 data from the host.

Note For detailed information about removing ISM V1R3.0, read "Uninstalling ISM V1R3.0"

Benefits of Migrating

Benefits of migrating ISM V1R3.0 data to ISM V2 include:

•Use ISM V1R3.0 router definitions, and operator profiles from ISM V2.

•Execute ISM V1R3.0 by using a procedure from a previous NetView version. However, you must first back up the NetView DSIPARM data set, and the NetView procedure used in ISM V1R3.0.

•Use all router management functions within the enhanced ISM V2 environment.

Handling ISM Data

Migrating ISM V1R3.0 router definitions and configuration data converts a copy of your existing data files so they are compatible with ISM V2. The original ISM V1R3.0 data files remain intact.

When you migrate your ISM V1R3.0 installation, you convert a copy of your existing ISM V1R3.0 data files to the new VSAM key structures and new VSAM data sets that are supported in ISM V2.

Converting ISM V1R3.0 Files

After completing the ISM V2 installation, you must convert ISM V1R3.0 files. To convert the ISM V1R3.0 files:

Step 1 Copy member NSPDSB from the NSPI200 samplib to the NetView DSIPARM data set used in the conversion. The NetView CLISTs automatically perform the conversion functions:

•NSPCONVR—Converts the router control files

•ISMCONVU—Copies the ISM V1R3.0 operator profiles to the ISM V2 control data set

Step 2 Run NetView with ISM V2.

Step 3 From a NetView command prompt, enter the following command:

ALLOCATE FI(NSPDSB) DS(xxxxx) SHR
Where xxxxx is the name of the NSPDSA data set used for ISM V1R3.0.

NetView responds as follows:
CNM272I NSPDSB IS NOW ALLOCATED

Step 4 From a NetView command prompt, enter the following command:

Start task=nspdsb
NetView responds as follows:
DSI166I NSPDSB IS ACTIVATED BY HAL2DSI556I NSPDSB : VSAM DATASET 'OPEN' COMPLETED, DDNAME = 'ISMDSB' RETURN CODE = X'00', ACB ERROR FIELD = X'00'DSI530I 'NSPDSB ' : 'DST' IS READY AND WAITING FOR WORK

Step 5 From a NetView command prompt, enter the following command:

nspconvu
NetView responds as follows:
NSPCONVU 105 User Records Copied.

Step 6 When the NSPCONVU command executes, type the nspconvr and press Enter.

Step 7 Verify that the output is similar to the following output and that you receive the "NSPR to IR Conversion complete" message:
* CNM01 NSPCONVRC CNM01 NSPCONVR 170 Records Converted>>This means that 85 routers were migrated.Each router from ISM Release 2 will be converted to two records in ISM Version 2.C CNM01 NSPCONVR NSPR to IR Conversion Complete

Planning the Next Steps

Once you have migrated your ISM V1R3.0 data to ISM V2, you must configure the ISM setup options.
