This document covers the following topics:
Set the SMA switches as shown in the table below.
| SMA Switch | |
|---|---|
| SMA Switch PRD-FIRST-INSTALL | Y |
| PRD-CONVERSION | N |
Note
Leaving a field blank is the equivalent of entering
N.
Copy the installation medium contents to disk. The steps required depend on your operating system environment and are described in the section Copying the Installation Medium Contents to Disk for z/OS.
Perform the following installation steps.
Perform the following steps in the order given:
Step 1: Prepare, Convert, Assemble and Link the License File
Step 7 - Define the Predict Libraries to Natural Security manually
Step 8 - Copy DDMs from Natural system file FNAT to the Predict system file FDIC
Step 11 - Load the Predict Description of the Predict System File
You have to install a valid Entire Operations license file. For detailed information on license files and product licensing, see the Software AG Mainframe Product Licensing documentation.
Copy the license file from the installation medium to disk, or transfer it from the PC as described under Transferring a Licence File from PC to z/OS Host Using FTP in the Software AG Mainframe Product Licensing documentation.
Step 0601 - Check the license file (here named)
PRDLIC.
This job executes the CHECK function of the LICUTIL license utility.
Step 0602 - Convert the license file into an assembler source. This job executes the MAKE function of the LICUTIL license utility.
Step 0604 - Assemble and link the assembler source to generate load
module PRDLIC. This module is then linked to the nucleus in
Job I060 (see below).
The functions and option settings provided by LICUTIL are described under Using the License Utility LICUTIL in the Software AG Mainframe Product Licensing documentation.
(Job I050, Step 0600)
Load the Predict 8. system file contained in data set/file PRDvrs.SYSF using the Adabas utility ADALOD.
(Job I050, Step 0601)
Load the Coordinator FDIC contained in data set/file PRDvrs.SYSF using the Adabas utility ADALOD.
(Job I051, Steps 0613 - 0616)
Predict modules from earlier versions which were copied to libraries different from the original libraries after installation must be deleted from these libraries using the Natural utility INPL with the data sets PRDvrs.DE44, PRDvrs.DE45, PRDvrs.DE46, PRDvrs.DE82, PRDvrs.DE83, PRDvrs.DE84 and PRDvrs.DE85 as input.
(Job I060 for Batch Mode or Job I080 for Online Operation)
Predict requires the following Natural parameter settings:
Note
The size parameters are recommendations only. It may be
necessary to adapt these values to your particular environment.
DATSIZE must be at least 250.
SSIZE=64
RI=OFF
If you are using work files, you are recommended to specify WORK=(...,OPEN=ACC) instead of using the Natural default
If Predict XRef data is to be used: set the
XREF parameter to ON or
FORCE.
If you want to use the feature Search usage in Web Services, Natural must be started with the following parameter settings:
XML=(ON,RDOC=ON,PARSE=ON) CP=IBM01140 CFICU=ON
Adapt your Natural parameter module with the new parameters and assemble it.
Link the new Natural parameter module and the following modules to the environment-independent part of the Natural nucleus:
| Operating System | Module | Load Library |
|---|---|---|
| z/OS | PRDXREF | NATvrs.LOAD |
For details, see the Natural Installation for Mainframes documentation and the Natural Operations for Mainframes documentation.
(Job I061, Step 0600)
The Predict system programs are contained in the data set/file PRDvrs.INPL and are loaded to your Natural system file (FNAT) using the Natural utility INPL. This data set/file also contains the Predict error messages.
If Natural Security is installed, define the following libraries to Natural Security:
SYSDIC, SYSDICBE, SYSDICCO, SYSDICH, SYSDICMA
This step must be performed manually.
Note
If you specify a startup transaction on the Natural Security
Modify Library screen, then specify N for
Batch execution.
(Job I200, Step 0600)
If you were previously using Natural without Predict, the DDMs were stored on the Natural system file. With Predict, the DDMs are stored on the Predict system file.
(Job I200, Step 0601)
To set up your environment so you can use the Coordinator, start a Predict 8.6 online session (using the newly installed FDIC file) or perform the following batch mode commands:
LOGON SYSDIC MENU ASSIGN COORDINATOR DBNR=n FNR=n UTILITY-CLEAR=Y FIN
Where n represents the DBNR and FNR of the Coordinator FDIC you specified in Step 2.
(Job I200, Step 0608)
This step is optional.
Start a Predict 8.6 online session or perform the following batch mode commands:
LOGON SYSDIC MENU NEWEXGEN FIN
Note:
If you execute this function in batch, please ensure that you
have set Batch execution to N (No) on the Natural Security Modify Library
screen of library SYSEXT.
(Job I500, Step 0605)
This step is optional. Please note that, due to the number of checks performed by the Coordinator when loading this data set/file, this step may take a long time.
The installation data set/file PRDvrs.DATA contains a description of the Predict 8.6 system file in Migrate 8.6 format. Load the description into the Predict system file with the Predict Coordinator.
Note
No support is guaranteed if you manipulate the Predict system
file with your own programs.
The following syntax is used:
LOGON SYSDICBE MENU LOAD OBJECTTYPE ALL,REPLACE=Y,ADA=N FIN
If a previous import operation with the Coordinator terminated abnormally for any reason, the Coordinator FDIC is locked and a corresponding message is given. Enter the following commands to clear the Coordinator FDIC:
LOGON SYSDIC MENU SPECIAL REFRESH FIN
(Job I500, Step 0606)
This step is optional. Please note that, due to the number of checks performed by the Coordinator when loading this data set/file, this step may take a long time.
The installation data set/file PRDvrs.DEMO contains the example data in Migrate 8.6 format. Load the description into the Predict system file with the Predict Coordinator. The following syntax is used:
LOGON SYSDICBE MENU LOAD OBJECTTYPE ALL,REPLACE=Y,ADA=N FIN
If a previous import operation with the Coordinator terminated abnormally for any reason, the Coordinator FDIC is locked and a corresponding message is returned. Enter the following commands to clear the Coordinator FDIC:
LOGON SYSDIC MENU SPECIAL REFRESH FIN
