Setting up the work environment

To set up the work environment for an RTE, you specify what type of RTE is being configured, set RTE-specific values, and select the products to be configured in the environment. Then you submit the KCIJPCFG job, which uses the values you provide to allocate the work libraries, update the interim libraries, and create the configuration profiles for the RTE. You can select a model RTE to use to set up the new RTE, or configure it from scratch.

Procedure

  1. Select Set up PARMGEN work environment for an RTE from the primary options menu.
    The first Set up PARMGEN work environment for an RTE panel is displayed.

       - To create a new RTE based on a predefined IBM model, type a ? in         
         the field and press Enter, then select the appropriate template.         
       - To create a new RTE that is a clone of an existing PARMGEN RTE,          
         specify the WCONFIG profile library and RTE member name to clone;        
         for example:  (&hlq.&rte.WCONFIG(&clone_from))                           
       - To create a new RTE that is a clone of an ICAT-created RTE,              
         specify the ICAT RTE Batch member location and RTE member;               
         for example:  (&hlq.ICAT.INSTJOBS(SYSA))                                 
       - To create a new RTE from scratch, leave this field blank.                
       - To reconfigure or upgrade this existing PARMGEN RTE, specify its values; 
         for example:  (TDITNT.IDTST.SYSA.WCONFIG(SYSA))                           
                                                                                  
    Customize jobcard data:                                                       
     ==> //TDITNT  JOB (ACCT),'%SYSMEMBER% - NAME',CLASS=A,______________________

     ==> //** \_~_/ SYSJOBNAME=%SYSJOBNAME% JOBPARM SYSAFF=%SYSNAME%______________
    
    Specify the Install Job Generator (JOBGEN) output library if you want   
    PARMGEN to reuse CALLLIBS parameters from the JOBGEN repository:        
     ==> ____________________________________________                       
         (Type ? for last referenced JOBGEN library discovered, if any.)    
    
  2. To use the IBM-provided model RTE, type ? in the first field and select @MDLHSS from the list of model profiles that is displayed. When you select the model, you are returned to the set up panel. To create the RTE from scratch, leave the field blank.
  3. As appropriate, specify the Install Job Generator output library and job card data.
    Jobcard data
    If a customized job card is already available, it is retrieved from the ISPF user profile pool. If it is not available and if you did not specify a JOBGEN output library, the job card is harvested from gbl_target_hilev.TKANSAM SMP/E target library where the initial PARMGEN sample job card default is supplied. If you specified a JOBGEN output library, the job card information is harvested from that location. You can modify the retrieved data as needed. The customized job card is saved in the ISPF user profile pool and persists across ISPF sessions. On this panel, specify the parameter values appropriate for your environment. In most cases, the PARMGEN configuration parameters on this panel are required.
  4. Press Enter to proceed to the next panel.

    The Set up PARMGEN Work Environment for an RTE (2 of 3) panel (KCIP@PG2) is displayed. The values on this panel are read from the profile library and runtime member name you specified on the preceding panel.

The configuration software allocates the runtime libraries, creates the configuration profiles, and populates the PARMGEN templates in IKAN* libraries with runtime members for the products selected for configuration.
