Steps to take
Follow
these steps:
- The Provisioning Manager user CPOSRV needs READ access to CIM Client for Java Version 2 sblim-cim-client.jar. This access usually by default should be sufficient. If it is not, you must set the "other" READ access file permissions using the z/OS UNIX command chmod (for example, chmod o+r/usr/lpp/wbem/jclient/sblim-cim-client2.jar. Note that this command must be issued by a user with the appropriate authorization.
- If your CIM installation directory is not at the default location, you need to add the location of the CIM Client for Java Version 2 slim-cim-client2jar to the CLASSPATH entry., If you have already specified the location of a previous version of the CIM Client Java, you need to add the location of CIM Client for Java Version 2 before the location of the previous version of CIM Client for Java. the CLASSPATH is specified in the ENV member of the Provisioning Manager runtime environment data set with prefix.PARM. The prefix for the data set name is the high-level qualifier of the Capacity Provisioning Manager parameters data set and the name of the domain managed by the Capacity Provisioning Manager. For example, with default values, the data set name is CPO.DOMAIN1.PARM.
