Changing startup JCL before starting a MAS

Change the startup JCL for the system by modifying your DD statements to include the CICSPlex® SM data sets and verifying that the appropriate CICS® system initialization parameters are included.

The DD statements that you must modify are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. z/OS MAS-specific JCL requirements
  ...
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=CICSTS52.CPSM.SEYUAUTH,DISP=SHR
//DFHRPL   DD DSN=CICSTS52.CPSM.SEYULOAD,DISP=SHR
//EYUPARM  DD DSN=(Any PO or PS data set with LRECL=80)
//EYUHISTA  DD DSN=(Optional 1st history dataset)
//EYUHISTB  DD DSN=(Optional 2nd history dataset)
//EYUHISTn  DD DSN=(Optional nth history dataset)
  ...
When you change these DD statements in the startup JCL for a CICS system, code these statements as follows:
STEPLIB DD statement
Includes the CICSTS52.CPSM.SEYUAUTH authorized load library.
DFHRPL DD statement
Includes the CICSTS52.CPSM.SEYULOAD load library.
EYUPARM DD statement
Identifies the library containing the CICSPlex SM parameters.
  • Member EYULMS0P, in the CICSTS52.CPSM.SEYUPARM data set, contains sample system parameters for a local MAS; you must edit this member. See CICSPlex SM system parameters for a detailed description of each parameter. EYULMS0P is supplied, uncustomized, in TDFHINST and customized in XDFHINST.
  • If you want to use Business Application Services to install CICS resources in a MAS, you must specify the CICSPlex SM system parameter MASPLTWAIT(YES) for that system. This parameter suspends CICS PLT processing until all CICS resources are installed and the CICSPlex SM MAS is fully initialized.
  • If you want to include a MAS in a platform, you must also specify the CICSPlex SM system parameter MASPLTWAIT(YES) for that system. This parameter is required to automatically install CICS resources for an application or platform when the CICS region is initialized.
EYUHISTx DD statement
Identifies the history data sets for the MAS. Each MAS must have its own set of CICSPlex SM history data sets. You allocate the data sets to the MAS region by means of DD cards in the JCL with DD names of the form EYUHISTx, where x is a character suffix taking values A through Z. Dynamic allocation is not supported. Allocate the data sets with a disposition of OLD. Use the suffix letters in ascending sequence and omit no letters. For example, if four history data sets are required, use DD names EYUHISTA, EYUHISTB, EYUHISTC, and EYUHISTD. See Preparing the MAS for history recording.
