After you build a CICSPlex® SM
Workload Manager (WLM) transaction group file that contains affinity-transaction-group
definitions that are suitable for input to CICSPlex SM, you can deploy the transaction
group definitions to a CICSplex.
About this task
To set the default values to use to generate JCL for deployment
to CICSPlex SM, you use
the CPSM Deployment pane in the Preferences window.
To
specify parameters for the CICSPlex SM
deployment job, modify the input to CICSPlex SM,
review the generated JCL, and deploy the transaction group definitions,
you use the Affinity Build view.
Procedure
- Set the default values to use to generate JCL for deployment
to CICSPlex SM:
- From the workbench menu, click , expand CICS
Interdependency Analyzer, then click CPSM Deployment.
- Optional: Edit the job card to meet the
requirements of your own system.
- In the Load Library field, enter
the load library for the CICSPlex SM
data set.
- In the Auth Library field, enter
the authorized load library for the CICSPlex SM
data set.
- Click OK.
- Specify parameters for the CICSPlex SM deployment job:
- Open the required CICSPlex SM
WLM transaction group file in the Affinity Build view.
From the Report Explorer view, either double-click
the CICSPlex SM WLM transaction
group file name, or right-click the file name then click Open
report.
- Click the CPSM Input tab.
- Enter the following information in the Deployment Parameters
section:
- Data Set
- The data set to store the transaction group definitions. If you
have a z/OS connection to your z/OS system, you can use the Open
data set
or Create data set
icons to select or create a data set, respectively.
- Member
- The data set member to store the transaction group definitions.
- CMAS Name
- The name of the CMAS for the CICSplex to which you are deploying.
Deployment updates the data repository for this CMAS.
- Output user name
- A 1- to 8-character user identifier to associate with the output
from the deployment.
- Print Node
- A 1- to 8-character print node identifier to route the output
from the deployment.
- Optional: Use the CPSM Definitions section
of the CPSM Input tab to modify the input to CICSPlex SM:
- To include or exclude specific objects from input to CICSPlex SM, select or clear the relevant
check boxes.
- To change the Affinity, Lifetime, State, or Match parameters for
the TRANGRP resource, right-click on the CREATE TRANGRP NAME statement,
then use the relevant menu options. For example, to change the Affinity
parameter, click Set Affinity, then click the
required value on the menu.
- To change the Context, the Trangroup name, or the Transaction
name, right-click on the name, then click Set Name.
Type the new name in the resulting dialog, then click OK.
- Optional: If you want to check the transaction
group definitions before you deploy them, select Check. A CHECK statement is added to the generated
JCL on the Deployment JCL tab.
- Click the Deployment JCL tab and
review the generated JCL.
The JCL job to deploy the
transaction group definitions to the specified CMAS is displayed in
a JCL editor. The generated JCL uses the default values and deployment
parameters that you specified earlier. You can use the facilities
of the JCL editor to view and edit this JCL. Any change to a deployment
parameter in the JCL that is on the CPSM Input tab is updated in the
corresponding field on the CPSM Input tab. Similarly, any change to
a deployment parameter on the CPSM Input tab is updated in the corresponding
JCL on the Deployment JCL tab.
- Optional: To check the transaction group
definitions, ensure that the deployment JCL includes the CHECK statement,
then click the Deploy to CPSM icon
in the toolbar
of the tab. Use any error messages to correct the JCL.
When you are ready to deploy the JCL, edit the JCL or use the Execute option
on the CPSM Input tab to change the CHECK statement
to an EXECUTE statement.
- When the JCL job is complete, ensure that the deployment
JCL includes the EXECUTE statement, then click
the Deploy to CPSM icon
in the toolbar
of the tab. The transaction group definitions in
the CICSPlex SM WLM transaction
group are saved to the specified data set member, and a job for deployment
to CICSPlex SM is submitted.
Deployment uses the facilities of z/OS Explorer.
