System Automation 4.3 - Installation

To perform the installation, we will follow the IBM documentation:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-system-automation/4.3.0?topic=guide-installation-configuration 

These first steps I am going to do are optional and are applicable to the ADCD system.

I do them to have the software on a specific disk and be able to reuse it on other systems:

  • Create a new disk
  • Create a catalog for that disk
  • Create an ALIAS that points to that catalog
  • Copy the System Automation software from the original disk to the new disk

COPY SOFTWARE (Optional)

Create a new disk

In my case, a model 3 is sufficient:

alcckd /mnt/1TB2/ADCD/3.1_B_acc/SA4300 -d3390-3

Emuframe image

It can be mounted dynamically.

awsmount 0AA8 -m /mnt/1TB2/ADCD/3.1_B_acc/SA4300

Emuframe image

On the z/OS system, we put the device offline:

V 0AA8,OFFLINE

Emuframe image

With a job similar to this, we initialize the disk as NO-SMS:

//IBMUSERC JOB (20,FB3),'INIT NO SMS DASD',COND=(0,NE),
//            CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//ICKDSF EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,REGION=4096K
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
  INIT UNITADDRESS(0AA8) NOVERIFY VOLID(SA4300) PURGE -
    VTOC(0,1,149) INDEX(15,0,100)
/*

We respond to the reply generated by this job:

01,U

It completes successfully.

Emuframe image

We put the disk online:

V 0AA8,ONLINE

Emuframe image

In option 3.4 we verify that it is accessible and properly defined.

Emuframe image

Create catalog on the disk

You can use the following job. You only need to specify the disk in the SET P1='SA4300' parameter:

//IBMUSERC JOB (20,FB3),'JOB',COND=(0,NE),
//            CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//E1  EXPORT SYMLIST=(P1)
//   SET P1='SA4300'
//DEFMCAT  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//CATVOL1  DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=&P1.,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN    DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY
  DEFINE   USERCATALOG (    -
               NAME(USERCAT.V&P1.                    ) -
               VOLUME(&P1.)                            -
               ICFCATALOG                              -
               CYL (1 1)                               -
               SHAREOPTIONS(3 4)                       -
               STORCLAS(SCNOSMS)                       -
               NWCK NOIMBED NOREPLICATE)

Emuframe image

It will complete successfully.

Emuframe image

We will have the catalog defined.

Emuframe image

If we want to disconnect a catalog from the system, we use the job:

//IBMUSERC JOB (20,FB3),'JOB',COND=(0,NE),
//            CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//E1  EXPORT SYMLIST=(P1)
//   SET P1='SA4300'
//DEFMCAT  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//CATVOL1  DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=&P1.,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN    DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY
  EXPORT USERCAT.V&P1. DISCONNECT

If we accidentally disconnect this catalog from the system, we can reconnect it with this job that performs “IMPORT CONNECT”:

//IMPORTCN JOB (20,FB3),'IMPORT',COND=(0,NE),
//            CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD   *
     IMPORT -
      OBJECTS -
         ((USERCAT.VSA4300 -
           VOLUME(SA4300) -
           DEVICETYPE(3390))) -
      CONNECT -
         CATALOG(CATALOG.Z31B.MASTER)
/*

Create ALIAS pointing to that catalog

We use a job like this to define an ALIAS for System Automation:

//IBMUSERC JOB (20,FB3),'JOB',COND=(0,NE),
//            CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//* DEFINE ALIAS
//PASO001 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
 DEFINE ALIAS (NAME(SA430) -
 RELATE(USERCAT.VSA4300)) -
 CATALOG(CATALOG.Z31B.MASTER)
/*

Emuframe image

We will have the ALIAS “SA430” defined.

Emuframe image

We use a job like this to define an ALIAS for NetView.

In the ADCD system, the original libraries are called NET640 and since there is already an installation of this product called NETVIEW, I will use NETVW64 for the ALIAS.

//IBMUSERC JOB (20,FB3),'JOB',COND=(0,NE),
//            CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//* DEFINE ALIAS
//PASO001 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
 DEFINE ALIAS (NAME(NETVW64) -
 RELATE(USERCAT.VSA4300)) -
 CATALOG(CATALOG.Z31B.MASTER)
/*

Emuframe image

Now that we have the ALIAS, optionally, we can create a dataset to store the jobs we have been running (and those we will run later). This way, we have everything in the same library and on the same disk.

Emuframe image

We make sure the library is on the disk and in the catalog we created.

Emuframe image

Copy the System Automation software

I will use ADRDSSU to copy the TARGET libraries (AUT430.SING*) to the new disk with the HLQ of the ALIAS we created earlier (SA430).

The list of TARGET libraries can be found in the Program Directory document:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-system-automation/4.3.0?topic=program-directory 

//IBMUSERC JOB (20,FB3),'JOB',COND=(0,NE),
//   CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID,REGION=0M
//STEPS01 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
 COPY DATASET(INC(AUT430.SING*)) -
  OUTDYNAM (  (SA4300) ) -
  RENAMEU((AUT430.**,SA430.**))  -
  STORCLAS(SCNOSMS)  -
  SHR -
  TOL(ENQF) -
  ALLDATA(*) -
  RECATALOG(USERCAT.VSA4300)
/*

The result will be something similar to this:

Copy the NetView software

I will use ADRDSSU to copy the TARGET libraries. In this case, you need to select the TARGET libraries specifically, because many cannot be grouped as with System Automation. The HLQ will be the ALIAS we created earlier (NETVW64).

The list of TARGET libraries can be found in the Program Directory document:

BEGIN INSTALLATION

CONFWRK Library

To perform the installation, follow these steps:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-system-automation/4.3.0?topic=sazos-preparing-configure-system-automation 

You need to create a library for the configuration that does not exceed 35 characters with the LLQ “CONFWRK”. It must follow this pattern:

hlq.saplex.CONFLIB

Here is a JCL to create it:

//$02CONF  JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=Q,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
//   REGION=0M
//IDCAMS   EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//CONFWRK  DD  DSN=SA430.ADCDPL.CONFWRK,
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//             UNIT=3390,SPACE=(TRK,(15,5,5)),
//             STORCLAS=SCNOSMS,VOL=SER=SA4300,
//             DCB=(DSORG=PO,BLKSIZE=27920,LRECL=80,RECFM=FB)
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY

Emuframe image

Emuframe image

Now we copy the members INGDOPT and INGDCONF from the .SINGSAMP library to the library we just created (.CONFWRK).

Emuframe image

Emuframe image

Edit INGDOPT

Here I leave the detail of the configuration I will use. I have tried to leave most of it as default.

The INGDOPT member includes detailed documentation about each parameter.

For PROCs and STCs I have tried to group them under “ING*”.

Some optional features I will not use. Others, I will configure in the future, such as “Service Management Unite (SMU) console connection” (parameter: sa_e2e_smu_ip).

In “sys_sms_managed_datasets”, I am going to indicate “NO” because I want to create the datasets on the NO-SMS disk (SA4300), but, in the case of the ADCD version, it is necessary to indicate the STORCLAS “SCNOSMS” so that it treats them as NO-SMS.

Since the process will not automatically add STORCLAS(SCNOSMS), we will have to edit the job manually.

It is possible that other modifications will need to be made later.

$INGREAD Instructions

With the execution of the previous job, a series of members have been created within the **.CONFLIB library. One of them is **$INGREAD** and it contains the instructions we must follow for the installation.

Create “working datasets”

We need to execute the job INGDSALC. First, in the case of the ADCD version, I need to add the STORCLAS to each file creation so they go to the disk I want.

STORCLAS(SCNOSMS)   -

NetView DSIPARM Configuration

Since this is a new installation, you need to copy the following members from SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB to SA430.SA00.DSIPARM:

  • CNMSTGEN
  • INGESCAT
  • INGPTOP
  • INGXINIT

Emuframe image

Copy HSAPRMSA to PARMLIB

Copy the member HSAPRMSA (Automation Manager) from SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB to the PARMLIB that was created during installation (in my case, SA430.SA00.PARMLIB).

Emuframe image

Copy STCs to PROCLIB

Copy the following members to the system PROCLIB (in my case, USER.Z31B.PROCLIB):

  • INGEAMSA
  • INGENVSA
  • INGESSI
  • INGEPRT
  • INGEIPLC
  • INGPIPLC
  • INGPHOM
  • INGPIXCU

If we plan to have NetView start before JES2 (and not at the same time), we must copy INGEAMSA, INGENVSA, and INGESSI to SYS1.PROCLIB. For example, so that System Automation starts all tasks.

MPFLSTXX

Add the following messages to the corresponding MPFLSTxx member of the PARMLIB we are using.

This is so that only the AOF603D message is sent to AUTO and not the rest of the AOF* messages.

AOF603D is the startup reply (WTOR) for System Automation.

AOF603D,SUP(NO),RETAIN(NO),AUTO(YES)
AOF*,SUP(NO),RETAIN(NO),AUTO(NO)

VERY IMPORTANT! If we have an entry like:

.NO_ENTRY,AUTO(NO)

(as shown in the image)

Emuframe image

We must change it to AUTO(YES) because if we don’t, there will be tasks that display messages that won’t be captured by this MPF LIST and won’t reach System Automation either. As a result, these tasks will remain waiting for an “UP” message that they will never receive.

.NO_ENTRY,AUTO(YES)

Emuframe image

Configure VTAM

You need to execute the member INGMTAB from the SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB library to create VTAM resources in the new SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB.VTAMLIB library.

In my case, in the DSALC step I had to add “STORCLAS=SCNOSMS,”.

//DSALC    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//ALLOC    DD DSN=SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB.VTAMLIB,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG),STORCLAS=SCNOSMS,
//            UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=SA4300,
//            SPACE=(TRK,(15,15,15)),DSNTYPE=PDS,
//            DCB=(RECFM=U,LRECL=0,BLKSIZE=6144)

Verify that it completes successfully.

Emuframe image

We will have the following modules, of which I will only copy AMODETAB and ISTSDCOS to my active VTAMLIB (in my case, USER.Z31B.VTAMLIB). The reason is that I already have a customized AUSSTAB that I will modify later and the INTERCOS member indicates that it is optional.

To find out which VTAMLIB and VTAMLST libraries we have available, we need to look at the VTAM STC. The concatenation of libraries for both DDs will appear there.

Emuframe image

Emuframe image

Copy the member SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB(MNING01) to a **.VTAMLST library that we use in the system (in my case, USER.Z31B.VTAMLST).

Emuframe image

Add it to the ATCCONxx member of the **.VTAMLST library. In my case, USER.Z31B.VTAMLST(ATCCON00). This way, those nodes will be activated when VTAM starts.

Emuframe image

Configure Security - RACF

You need to execute the job SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB(INGGENL). This job creates a library with a job containing the RACF commands to configure all security.

I recommend putting more space in the SPACE parameter than the default.

//CNFREALC EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=32M

Emuframe image

Now we will have the new library SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB.sysname (in my case, SA430.ADCDPL.CONFLIB.S0W1). Inside we will have the job to configure RACF.

VERY IMPORTANT. Review that job carefully before executing. It is better to execute the commands little by little and only those we need.

Some changes I had to make.

To avoid this error:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=messages-irr52174i 

IRR52174I Incorrect UID 90004. This value is already in use by AUTINIT1.

SETROPTS EGN

Emuframe image

IMPORTANT: When reviewing the job output, we should not just check that it ends with RC=00. This only indicates that the RACF commands were executed. We must review the complete output to see the errors that may have appeared from the commands.

In my case, I got this error for some users. This seems to be because the RACF DB has run out of space. To correct it, I should get a list of the users that gave this error, expand the RACF DB, and run the commands again.

ICH51013I PROFILE ADDED OR ALTERED BUT NO ROOM TO MAKE ALIAS INDEX ENTRY.

Create directories - MKDIR

Finally, we must create the directories in OMVS that we have defined in the configuration. This can be done with this job:

//$05MKDIR JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=Q,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
//   REGION=0M
//MKDIR    EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1A

Optional - SMF Record 114

You can add SMF record 114 for availability reports.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-system-automation/4.3.0?topic=members-step-4i-update-smfprmxx 

In my case, all are captured except type 99.

Emuframe image

Final changes before IPL

I will explain some previous modifications that will help resolve some errors on the first startup.

STC - INGEAMSA

The first startup must be with TYPE=COLD to format the files.

Emuframe image

In the parameter file used by the INGEAMSA STC, SA430.SA00.PARMLIB(HSAPRMSA), disable the LOG STREAM (LOGSTREAM=NO).

Emuframe image

STC - INGENVSA

For this STC I set the LOGSTREAM=NO parameter in its DSIPARM configuration file because, for now, I am not going to use it.

Emuframe image

In my case: SA430.SA00.DSIPARM(INGXINIT)

Emuframe image

Modify IEASYMxx

We must add the following symbols to the IEASYMxx file we are using. You can see it with the D IPLINFO command.

CNMDOMN is the domain we configured in the INGDOPT member.

CNMTCPN is the TCPIP name.

CNMNETID is the network name.

SYMDEF(&CNMDOMN='SA01')
SYMDEF(&CNMTCPN='TCPIP')
SYMDEF(&CNMNETID='NETD')

Emuframe image

RACF - Additional Permissions

In the ADCD system, these RACF errors will appear when the INGNVSA task starts:

Emuframe image

In the NetView configuration member, you need to enable SAF authentication (RACF in my case) so we can access the product.

In my case, I need to edit SA430.SA00.DSIPARM(CNMSTGEN) to modify and add the following:

SECOPTS.OPERSEC = SAFDEF
*SECOPTS.OPERSEC = SAFPW
SECOPTS.CMDAUTH = SAF.PASS
*SECOPTS.CMDAUTH = TABLE.INGESCAT
 
To avoid errors, add:
SECOPTS.OPSPAN = SAF

Emuframe image

Then we need to connect personal users to one of the groups we defined in RACF (according to the access level they should have): INGSUPER, INGADMIN, INGOPER, INGUSER

In my case, I want all permissions:

CONNECT IBMUSER GROUP(INGSUPER)

Assign jobID to the INGNVSA STC - DSIRQJOB

DSIRQJOB is an internal NetView task that assigns a jobID to the “INGNVSA” STC when we start with “SUB=MSTR” and allows us to see part of the joblog from SDSF to detect errors. By default, it is disabled.

To enable it:

We copy the CNMSTYLE member from the TARGET NetView DSIPARM library to our library where we are making modifications.

Emuframe image

In my case, from NETVW64.DSIPARM(CNMSTYLE) to SA430.SA00.DSIPARM

Emuframe image

We locate the following line and comment it out:

*TASK.DSIRQJOB.MOD=*NONE*

Emuframe image

We set the TASK.DSIRQJOB.INIT parameter to Yes so that the internal NetView task DSIRQJOB starts:

TASK.DSIRQJOB.INIT = Y

Emuframe image

When we do an IPL and NetView starts, we can verify that this task is active with the commands:

LIST DSIRQJOB
TASKUTIL DSIRQJOB

Emuframe image

To be able to start NetView completely before JES2 and have a jobID assigned later, we must meet the requirements indicated here:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-netview/6.4.0?topic=initialization-starting-netview-program-before-jes 

The documentation states:

• All data sets must be referenced by VOL=SER or be cataloged in the master catalog.

If you have followed this installation, we do not have the datasets cataloged in the master catalog. I have not yet tested if it is necessary, but I leave the modified STC with the parameters included:

//INGENVSA PROC PROG=DSIMNT,

At this point we can do an IPL. After that, the tasks should start, but we still don’t have an automation policy DB.

After IPL

Since the tasks will have started with “SUB=MSTR”, we will only be able to see the jobLog for the INGNVSA task.

COM = "S INGEAMSA,JOBNAME=INGAM,SUB=MSTR"
COM = "S INGENVSA,JOBNAME=INGNVSA,SUB=MSTR"
COM = "S INGESSI,JOBNAME=INGNVSSI,SUB=MSTR"

In SDSF → DA

Emuframe image

If we want to verify that everything went well, we can stop the tasks and restart them without “SUB=MSTR”. This way, we will see the complete log and we can confirm that the tasks we are testing work.

P INGNVSA
P INGNVSSI
P INGAM

The INGAM task has other stop options when we cannot wait for an internal process to finish:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/z-system-automation/4.3.0?topic=operations-automation-managers-started-task 

F INGAM,STOP,IMMED
F INGAM,STOP,FORCE
 
Or:
F INGAM,STOP,DEFER

Start with:

S INGEAMSA,JOBNAME=INGAM
S INGENVSA,JOBNAME=INGNVSA
S INGESSI,JOBNAME=INGNVSSI

I leave the startup log of my tasks as reference.

INGAM

The message HSAM1304A is because I have not created an automation policy DB.

Access to NetView

To access NetView, in the case of ADCD, we will use the command:

L SA01

In other systems it could be:

logon applid(SA01)
or
logon applid=SA01

The application name is found in the MNING01 member that we included in the VTAMLST library earlier.

Parameter: “SA01 APPL”

When we enter, we can define the keys to move through the NetView log (BLOG command) using the PFKDEF command.

Configure PF Keys by default

If we don’t want to assign the PF Keys every time we log in, we must define the NETVIEW segment for the desired user:

ALTUSER your_userid NETVIEW(IC(LOGPROF1) MSGRECVR(NO) CTL(GLOBAL))
 
ALTUSER IBMUSER NETVIEW(IC(LOGPROF1) MSGRECVR(NO) CTL(GLOBAL))

Emuframe image

This way, when logging in, the REXX LOGPROF1 will be executed automatically which, among other things, assigns the PF Key definition.

Emuframe image

With the SDF command, we can enter the panels that will later show us the status of the tasks in the system. It will not yet show anything relevant because we don’t have the automation policy DB.

Emuframe image

At this point we already have a stable first startup.

The next step will be to create an automation policy DB. This information will be in another section on the website.
