If your MVS™ system
name and the JES member name do not match, and you are running a z/OS® version earlier than version
1.11, you must run some additional steps to complete the discovery process.
When you run a discovery CICS® DA
loads the discovered model into a CICS DA
Project.
About this task
This task explains
how to populate the system model when your JES member name and your
system name do not match, and you are running a version of z/OS before version 1.11. You must
have an active CICS DA connection
before you can initiate discovery.
Note: If a system, CICS region, or one of the other
resources is not active, it is not discovered; only active resources
are discovered. CICS DA discovers
both managed and unmanaged CICS regions,
but it does not discover any associated resources for the unmanaged CICS regions.
Procedure
- Open the CICS DA
perspective. The DA Explorer view displays a
list of your DA connection names. Right-click the connection name
that you want to run the discovery against, and then click Discover. The discovery request is sent to the CICS DA server. A message is written to the CICS DA Console, and the status, Running
discovery is shown in the workbench status bar. When
discovery completes another message is written to the CICS DA Console, and the Console view is brought
to the front so that the view is visible.
- In the DA Explorer view, right-click
the connection name that you ran the discovery against, and then click Load. The Load CICS Deployment Assistant Model window
is displayed. The model is retrieved from the server and a preview
of the model is displayed in the window. If your JES member name and
your system name do not match, and you are running a version of z/OS earlier than version 1.11,
the MVS images are discovered
but they have no content.
- Click Finish to load the model into
the CICS DA client.
- In the DA Explorer view, expand the model to show the MVS images. For each MVS image where the JES member name and the system
name do not match, run the following steps:
- Open the image in the MVS Image
editor by double-clicking the image name, or right-click the name
and click Open.
- In the JES Member Name field,
replace the name with the correct one. Press Ctrl+S to
save the change, and close the editor.
- When all the changes are complete, right-click the connection
name in the DA Explorer view and then click Discover. The server reruns discovery, but this time it discovers
any resources associated with the MVS images.
- When discovery is complete, right-click the connection
name and then click Load. Click Finish to
load the model into the CICS DA
client.
Results
The model is updated with the discovered resource information.
