z/VSE Environments

This section provides information about installing and running Entire Net-Work in the z/VSE operating system environment. It covers the following topics:

Note:
Entire Net-Work 6.3 SP1 requires that zap WD631001 be installed in z/VSE environments. This zap is needed to successfully complete the NETSIP, which in turn is needed for IUCV to run properly.


Installation Procedure

To install Entire Net-Work on a z/VSE system, perform the following steps for each machine. Sample JCS can be found in the Entire Net-Work source library.

Step 1: Define an Installation Library

Define an Entire Net-Work installation library. Allocate DASD space; then define and restore the Entire Net-Work libraries from the installation media.

If all of the sublibraries are restored, approximately five cylinders of 3390 DASD space is required. Refer to the Software AG Product Delivery Report .

Step 2: Copy the Installation Media Contents to Disk

Copy the data sets from the supplied installation medium to your disk before you perform the individual installation procedure for each component to be installed.

The way you copy the data sets depends on the installation method and the medium used:

  • If you use System Maintenance Aid (SMA), refer to the copy job instructions provided in the System Maintenance Aid documentation.

  • If you are not using SMA and want to copy the data sets from CD-ROM, refer to the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM.

  • If you are not using SMA and want to copy the data sets from tape, follow the instructions in this section.

This section explains how to copy the data sets .LIBJ, .LIBR and .LICS from tape to disk. All other data sets can be installed directly from the tape.

Step 1: Copy Data Set COPYTAPE.JOB to Disk

  • Modify the following sample job according to your requirements:

    * $$ JOB JNM=LIBRCAT,CLASS=0,                                          +
    * $$ DISP=D,LDEST=(*,UID),SYSID=1                                      
    * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D                                                
    // JOB LIBRCAT                                                         
    * *****************************************                            
    *     STORE COPYTAPE.JOB IN LIBRARY                                    
    * *****************************************
    // ASSGN SYS004,nnn 
    // MTC REW,SYS004                                                        
    // MTC FSF,SYS004,4                                                      
    ASSGN SYSIPT,SYS004                                                      
    // TLBL IJSYSIN,'COPYTAPE.JOB'                                           
    // EXEC LIBR,PARM='MSHP; ACC S=lib.sublib'
    /*
    // MTC REW,SYS004
    ASSGN SYSIPT,FEC

    /&                                                                     
    * $$ EOJ

    where:

    nnn is the tape address, and
    lib.sublib is the library and sublibrary in which the data set COPYTAPE.JOB is to be stored.

  • Execute the job to copy the data set COPYTAPE.JOB to disk.

    COPYTAPE.JOB contains the JCL required to copy the data sets .LIBJ, .LIBR and .LICS from tape to disk.

Step 2: Modify COPYTAPE.JOB on Your Disk

  • Modify COPYTAPE.JOB according to your requirements and set the disk space parameters as appropriate.

Step 3: Submit COPYTAPE.JOB

  • Execute COPYTAPE.JOB to copy the data sets .LIBJ, .LIBR and .LICS to your disk.

Step 3: Specify a z/VSE Partition to Run Entire Net-Work

Specify a z/VSE partition to run Entire Net-Work.

If Entire Net-Work is to run the IUCV line driver in a 370 mode system, the partition must have enough real storage to accommodate the page-fixed buffers defined in the NODE statement.

The minimum space requirement is 128KB (real) in the ALLOCR for this Entire Net-Work partition. See the section Partition/Address Space Requirements .

Note:
In the case of z/VSE systems, the real storage should be specified by the following job control statement:

// SETPFIX LIMIT=nnnk

Step 4: Prepare and Install the Product License File

Prepare and install the product license file as described in Prepare and Install the License File.

Step 5: Install the Adabas SVC (optional)

In systems where Adabas is not already installed, install the Adabas SVC using the ADASIP program. For more information, see the section Adabas SVC and Entire Net-Work SVC ..

If the Adabas SVC in use is from Adabas 8.2, the zaps AD825011 or AD826003 must be applied before using the SVC with this version of Entire Net-Work in order to avoid the following error:

NET0119I  ...  Reply cannot be matched to RQE...

Note:
The SVC from Adabas versions older than 8.2 SP5 cannot be used.

For information about the Adabas z/VSE communication environment, refer to the Adabas Installation Manual.

Step 6: Customize the NETnnLIB Procedure

Customize the procedure NETnnLIB before cataloging it in the procedure library.

The following specific items must be customized:

  • File IDs for the libraries

  • Volumes for the libraries

  • Be sure to include appropriate LIBDEF references for user sublibraries, especially the library containing the NETLIC license file. The licensing component MLCvrs must also be added to the LIBDEF SEARCH chain for phases.

Step 7: Modify the Entire Net-Work Startup Parameters

Modify the Entire Net-Work startup parameters. See the section Entire Net-Work Parameter Statements.

Step 8: Perform the Line Driver-Dependent Installations

Perform the line driver-dependent installation procedure and prepare the DRIVER and LINK statements. The following line drivers are available:

  • IUCV

  • SSL

    Note:
    For more information about Encryption for Entire Net-Work, contact your Software AG sales support representative. The documentation for Encryption for Entire Net-Work is delivered separately from the other Entire Net-Work documentation.

  • TCP/IP

  • TCPX

  • VTAM

Step 9: Prepare Access Method-Specific Definitions

Prepare the required access method-specific definitions, such as the VTAM cross-domain definitions or the IUCV directory changes.

Step 10: Apply Corrective Maintenance

Apply corrective maintenance if necessary (refer to the Software AG Product Delivery Report).

Note:
Entire Net-Work 6.3 SP1 requires that zap WD631001 be installed in z/VSE environments. This zap is needed to successfully complete the NETSIP, which in turn is needed for IUCV to run properly.

Copying the Installation Media Contents to Disk

If you use Software AG's System Maintenance Aid (SMA), refer to the System Maintenance Aid documentation for information about the installation process.

If you are not using SMA, follow the instructions in this section.

This section explains how to:

  • Copy data set COPYTAPE.JOB from the installation media to disk.

  • Modify this member to conform with your local naming conventions.

The JCL in this member is then used to copy all data sets from the installation media to disk. If the data sets for more than one product are delivered on the media, the member COPYTAPE.JOB contains the JCL to unload the data sets for all delivered products from the installation media to your disk, except the data sets that you can directly install from the media (for example, Natural INPL objects). After that, you will have to perform the individual installation procedure for each component.

Start of instruction setTo copy all data sets from the installation media to disk:

  1. The data set COPYTAPE.JOB (file 5) contains the JCL to unload all other existing data sets from the installation media to disk. To unload COPYTAPE.JOB, use the following sample JCL:

    * $$ JOB JNM=LIBRCAT,CLASS=0,                                          +
    * $$ DISP=D,LDEST=(*,UID),SYSID=1
    * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D
    // JOB LIBRCAT
    * *****************************************
    *     CATALOG COPYTAPE.JOB TO LIBRARY
    * *****************************************
    // ASSGN SYS004,NNN                                <------  installation media address
    // MTC REW,SYS004
    // MTC FSF,SYS004,4
    ASSGN SYSIPT,SYS004
    // TLBL IJSYSIN,'COPYTAPE.JOB'                                           
    // EXEC LIBR,PARM='MSHP; ACC S=lib.sublib'         <------- for catalog
    /*
    // MTC REW,SYS004
    ASSGN SYSIPT,FEC
    /*
    /&

    Substitute a valid installation media address for NNN and the library and sublibrary names of the catalog for lib.sublib.

  2. Modify COPYTAPE.JOB to conform to your local naming conventions and set the following disk space parameters before submitting the job.

  3. Submit COPYTAPE.JOB to unload all other data sets from the media to your disk.

Preparing and Installing the License File

The product license file is supplied on the individual customer installation media or separately via an e-mail attachment. If the license file is provided on an installation media, you can follow the instructions in this step to install the license file. If the license file is supplied via an e-mail attachment, you must first transfer the license to z/VSE, as described in Transferring a License File from PC to a z/VSE Host Using FTP and then you can install it, as described in this step.

Installing the license file.

In z/VSE environments, the product license file can be installed either as a phase or as a library member.

Start of instruction setTo install the product license file as a phase, complete the following steps:

  1. Verify that the license file is stored in an Entire Net-Work source library or sequential data set (with RECFM=F or FB and LRECL=80), taking care to preserve its format as ASCII.

  2. If you loaded your Entire Net-Work license file to a library, review and modify the following JCS, adjusting the library and volume specifications as appropriate for your site.

    Note:
    In the sample JCS shown in this step, the standard label area is assumed to contain label information for library USERLIB. You can change this as appropriate for your library.

  3. Submit the job you modified in the previous step.

    The job generates your Entire Net-Work license in NETLIC.PHASE. It assumes that NETLIC.PHASE will be in a user sublibrary. If a user sublibrary is chosen for NETLIC.PHASE, this sublibrary must be included in the LIBDEF search chain in your Entire Net-Work startup JCS. You may find it more convenient to place NETLIC.PHASE directly into the Entire Net-Work WCPvrs sublibrary, to avoid the need to define additional libraries. During initial testing, Software AG recommends using a user sublibrary.

Start of instruction setTo install the product license file as a library member, complete the following steps:

  1. Verify that the license file is stored in an Entire Net-Work source library (with RECFM=F or FB and LRECL=80), taking care to preserve its format as ASCII.

  2. Make sure any previously-created NETLIC phase is inaccessible in the Entire Net-Work load library being used by the Entire Net-Work startup jobs. Entire Net-Work first tries to load NETLIC and if unsuccessful it reads from DDLIC.

  3. Provide all Entire Net-Work startup jobs with a DLBL statement in the following format:

    // DLBL DDLIC,'/libname/sublb/memname.memtype'

    where libname is the Librarian name of the library, sublib is the name of the sublibrary, memname is the license member name, and memtype is the license member type.

Start of instruction setTo install the product license file as a sequential data set, complete the following steps:

  1. Verify that the license file is stored in a sequential file (with RECFM=F or FB and LRECL=80), taking care to preserve its format as ASCII.

  2. Make sure any previously created NETLIC phase is inaccessible in the Entire Net-Work load library being used by the Entire Net-Work startup jobs. Entire Net-Work first tries to load NETLIC and, if unsuccessful, it reads from DDLIC.

  3. Provide all Entire Net-Work startup jobs with DLBL, EXTENT and ASSGN statements in the following format:

    // DLBL DDLIC,'network.license.file'
    // EXTENT SYSnnn
    // ASSGN SYSnnn,DISK,VOL=volser,SHR

    where network.license.file is the physical file name, nnn is an unused logical unit, and volser is the volume serial on which the license file resides.

 LIST $READVSE.A
/*
/&
* $$ EOJ

This job LIBR catalogs the distributed maintenance for Entire Net-Work into the pppvrs sublibrary and prints the $READVSE.A member, which contains the necessary documentation for applying distributed maintenance.

The WALvrs Sublibrary

The Adabas limited sublibrary WALvrs is provided on the installation media for systems where Adabas is not installed. WALvrs contains the Adabas code required by Entire Net-Work.

To apply maintenance to the WAL components, refer to the instructions accompanying the fix. If additional information or explanation is needed, contact your Software AG technical support representative.

The following sections describe the functionality of certain members in the WALvrs library:

WTOVSE

The WTOVSE phase is loaded by ADAUSER when an error is encountered. It issues an appropriate error message and abends with a dump, unless an optional zap is applied to eliminate the dump. WTOVSE is required to accommodate the IBM z/VSE MACRO execution-mode restrictions for z/VSE 1.3 and above.

SAGUSER Job Exit Facility

The phases SAGJBXT, SAGIPT, and SAGINST provide a job exit facility that can be used to scan a job stream for input-override statements; these statements indicate that card input for a job step is to come from library members rather than from SYSRDR or SYSIPT. The exit has a default capacity to store a maximum of 2000 input-override cards simultaneously throughout the system. Adabas and Entire Net-Work can use this facility in the processing of CARD and KARTE parameters.

You can use this feature by adding SAGUSER control statements to the job stream for running the Entire Net-Work startup job JCLNET. The SAGUSER control statements replace the CARD and KARTE input statements. See the sample job in the section Running the Startup Job with the SAGUSER Job Exit .

For example, the SAGUSER control statement

* SAGUSER FILE=CARD,MEMBER=ADARUN

searches the current LIBDEF chain for the member ADARUN. If found, it is used for the ADARUN parameters in place of SYSIPT.

To permit flexible startup processing, multiple SAGUSER statements may be specified for each file. The library members are assumed to be type "A".

Initialization

The job exit can be installed during ASI processing or at any time afterward. Two programs (SAGJBXT and SAGIPT) must be installed in the SVA, and the program SAGINST must be run to initiate job exit processing.

In z/VSE 1.3 and above, you can include SAGJBXT in the $JOBEXIT list of eligible exits, but you must still place SAGIPT in the SVA and run SAGINST to allocate the SAGUSER table.

SAGIPT runs above the line if an appropriate 31-bit PSIZE is available. In addition, the table that stores information from SAGUSER statements is placed in 31-bit GETVIS, if available.

The following sample JCS initializes the job exit:

* $$ JOB JNM=SAGEXIT,CLASS=0,DISP=D
* $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D
// JOB SAGEXIT
// EXEC PROC=NETnnLIB
 SET SDL
 SAGJBXT,SVA
 SAGIPT,SVA
/*
// EXEC SAGINST
/*
/&
* $$ EOJ

Storage Requirements

The job exit requires a total of 84K of SVA storage. Of that total, 2K is used for program storage (PSIZE) and 82K for GETVIS storage. Under z/VSE 1.3 or above running in ESA, all of the GETVIS and 1K of the PSIZE can be run above the 16-MB line.

Activating Entire Net-Work Use of Job Exit Processing

To allow Entire Net-Work to use SAGUSER statements in the job stream, recatalog the Adabas option table (ADAOPTD) specifying JOBEXIT=YES. See the sample member ADAIOOAL.X in the WAL sublibrary.

Diagnostic Functions

After the job exit is installed, executing SAGINST with UPSI 1 produces a dump of the DD name table for diagnostic purposes.

If the size of the DD name table needs to be changed for any reason, SAGIPT may be zapped before being loaded into the SDL. At offset X`0C', the initial value is X`00014874' or a total of 84,084 bytes. This value may be zapped when some more appropriate value is required.

Each table element is 42 bytes long. The default values assume 10 SAGUSER statements per file name, 10 file names, and 20 partitions, plus 2 entries for slack. This number is an estimate of maximum concurrent residency; each statement is removed from the table when it is used.

Partition/Address Space Requirements

Entire Net-Work typically requires at least 512KB-1024KB to operate. A larger partition size may be required, depending on the number of line drivers and the buffer space defined on the NODE statement.

Note:
Enough real storage must be allocated to the partition to accommodate the page-fixed buffers specified by the NODE statement (if any). If necessary, change the ALLOCR statement for the Entire Net-Work partition in the IPL procedure.

The real storage should be specified by the following job control statement:

// SETPFIX LIMIT=nnnk

Running the Startup Job

The following sample job can be used for running Entire Net-Work. See the sample source member JCLNET in the source library for an alternate example.

/*
/&
* $$ EOJ

Note:
All diagnostic information from tracing, logging, and abends is written to the NETPRNT file if it is open (otherwise it is written to the DDPRINT file). NETPRNT can be allocated to a large data set that can be copied when closed. To do this, allocate the file SHR. This causes the data set to be erased at the time the file is opened. Be aware that the diagnostic information is very large and will fill a data set quickly. When this happens, the file is closed and all additional output is sent to DDPRINT. This diagnostic information is created by Entire Net-Work and does not include the operating system dump information written to SYSUDUMP.

Running the Startup Job with the SAGUSER Job Exit

The following sample job illustrates the use of the SAGUSER job exit (see the section SAGUSER Job Exit Facility).

The SAGUSER control statement is added to the Entire Net-Work startup job in two places. It replaces the ADARUN statements and the NODE, DRIVER, and LINK statements.

* $$ JOB JNM=NETWKTST,CLASS=A,DISP=D

Entering Operator Commands

You can communicate with Entire Net-Work while it is running by using the operator command interface. Operator commands are essentially independent of the operating system. See the section Entire Net-Work Operator Commands. For information about the operator commands specific to the line drivers, see the specific documentation concerning those line drivers.

Operator commands are submitted to Entire Net-Work in the same way that operator commands are submitted to Adabas. Enter operator commands as follows:

  1. Enter an MSG command for the z/VSE partition in which Entire Net-Work is executing; for example:

    MSG Fn

    When ready for communication, Entire Net-Work responds with the message NETI2If the command ADAEND, END, HALT, NETEND, or TERMINATE causes Entire Net-Work to end the session, no outstanding reply is presented so that an orderly shutdown can occur without the need for operator intervention.

  2. Enter the desired operator commands, with only one space between the command and the argument. For example:

    CONNECT V2ZHOST

    Multiple spaces result in error message "NET0010E: REQUIRED PARAMETER NOT SPECIFIED".

    You can also enter a command followed directly by a slash (/) to end any further operator communications until the next MSG command.

  3. When all desired commands have been entered, close the operator communication session by entering a null command (EOB). To enter any more commands after the session is closed, begin with Step 1 above.

    Example:

    msg F5
    5 NETI24 04003 READY FOR OPERATOR COMMUNICATION
    5 D STATS
    NET0090I: BUFFER USAGE STATISTICS:
    NET0091I: ASYNCH. BUFFERS:     000016 (= 24.2 %) OF 000064 K USED

Applying Corrective Fixes

All corrective fixes applied to Entire Net-Work components are distributed in MSHP format. Once a problem is reported, Software AG provides an MSHP fix.

To apply and implement fixes for Entire Net-Work components:

The sample jobs provided in Steps 1 and 2 contain the following substitution variables. To use the sample jobs for the TCP/IP line driver, use WTC in place of WCP.

mshpnumber The number of the MSHP fix.
module Entire Net-Work object member to be fixed and then relinked.
number The ESD number of the CSECT to be zapped.
offset The hexadecimal offset to the beginning of the fix.
rrrr The replacement data for the fix.
vrs The Entire Net-Work version, revision, and system maintenance (SP)
vvvv The verify data for the fix.

Step 1: Prepare Entire Net-Work for Maintenance

A history file is required to apply an MSHP fix. You can use an existing file, such as the system history file or an existing Software AG generic history file, or create a new history file for this product installation.

  1. Use the following sample job to create an MSHP history file:

    * $$ JOB JNM=MSHPARCH,CLASS=A,DISP=D
    * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D
    // JOB MSHPARCH CREATE A HISTORY FILE
    // DLBL IJSYS02,`NETWRK.vrs.HISTORY.FILE',99/365
    // EXTENT SYS002,vvvvvv,1,0,ssss,nnnn
    // ASSGN SYS002,DISK,VOL=vvvvvv,SHR
    // ASSGN SYSLST,PRINTER
    // EXEC MSHP
      CREATE HISTORY AUXILIARY
    /*
    /&
    * $$ EOJ
  2. Use the following sample job to define Entire Net-Work to MSHP as a product/component using the MSHP ARCHIVE process:

    * $$ JOB JNM=MSHPARCH,CLASS=A,DISP=D
    * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D
    // JOB  MSHPARCH DEFINE Entire Net-Work vrs TO MSHP
    // EXEC PROC=NETnnLIB
    // DLBL IJSYSHF,'NETWRK.vrs.HISTORY.FILE',99/365
    // EXTENT SYS002,vvvvvv,1,0,ssss,nnnn
    // ASSGN SYS002,DISK,VOL=vvvvvv,SHR
    // ASSGN  SYSLST,PRINTER
    // EXEC  MSHP
     ARCHIVE WCPvrs
     COMPRISES 9001-WCP-00
     RESOLVES 'Entire Net-Work vrs - Software AG'
     ARCHIVE 9001-WCP-00-vrs
     RESIDENCE PRODUCT=WCPvrs
               PRODUCTION=SAGLIB.WCPvrsZ
               GENERATION=SAGLIB.WCPvrsZ
    /*
    /&
    * $$ EOJ

    The X. member MSHPARCH is provided in the Entire Net-Work library as an additional example to create an alternate history file and define WCP and WAL as products and components to MSHP.

    Note:
    If the TCP/IP line driver is to be used, define it to MSHP as follows:

    * $$ JOB JNM=MSHPARCH,CLASS=A,DISP=D
    * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D
    // JOB  MSHPARCH DEFINE Entire Net-Work vrs TO MSHP
    // EXEC PROC=NETnnLIB
    // DLBL IJSYSHF,'NETWRK.vrs.HISTORY.FILE',99/365
    // EXTENT SYS002,vvvvvv,1,0,ssss,nnnn
    // ASSGN SYS002,DISK,VOL=vvvvvv,SHR
    // ASSGN  SYSLST,PRINTER
    // EXEC  MSHP
     ARCHIVE WTCvrs
     COMPRISES 9001-WTC-00
     RESOLVES 'Entire Net-Work vrs - Software AG'
     ARCHIVE 9001-WTC-00-vrs
     RESIDENCE PRODUCT=WTCvrs
               PRODUCTION=SAGLIB.WCPvrsZ
               GENERATION=SAGLIB.WCPvrsZ
    /*
    /&
    * $$ EOJ

Step 2: Apply MSHP Fixes to Entire Net-Work Components

  1. Use the following sample job to apply MSHP fixes to the WCPvrs sublibrary within a test environment:

    * $$ JOB JNM=WCPMSHP,CLASS=A,DISP=D
    * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D
    // JOB ZAP APPLY MSHP TO Entire Net-Work OBJECT
    // OPTION LOG
    // EXEC PROC=NETnnLIB
    // DLBL IJSYSHF,'NETWRK.vrs.HISTORY.FILE',99/365
    // EXTENT SYS002,vvvvvv,1,0,ssss,nnnn
    // ASSGN SYS002,DISK,VOL=vvvvvv,SHR
    // EXEC MSHP
      CORRECT 9001-WCP-00-vrs:fixname
      AFFECTS MODULE=module ESDID=number
      ALTER offset vvvv:rrrr
      INVOLVES LINK=linkname
      RESOLVES 'fix description'
    /*
    /&
    * $$ EOJ
  2. The MSHP fix relinks the affected phases using one or more of the jobs found in the Entire Net-Work WCPvrs sublibrary, member type X (LINKxxxx). Each fix will indicate the job used to relink the phase.

  3. If a fix needs to be removed, use the following sample job, which uses the MSHP UNDO facility, to remove the MSHP fix from the WCPvrs component.

    * $$ JOB JNM=WCPUNDO,CLASS=A,DISP=D
    * $$ LST CLASS=A,DISP=D
    // JOB WCPUNDO
    // OPTION LOG
    // EXEC PROC=NETnnLIB
    // DLBL IJSYSHF,'NETWRK.vrs.HISTORY.FILE',99/365
