Completing the installation using the distributed sample jobs

After the CHCAPPLY job has been successfully used to APPLY the base product Function Sysmod, the maintenance from any cumulative maintenance received with the product, and any up-to-date maintenance, the SCHCCNTL data set will contain sample jobs using the most current JCL. These sample jobs can be used to complete the SMP/E portion of the installation process, as well as perform the complete Db2® portion of the installation. Other sample data, such as sample configuration control statements will also be available in other SMP/E Target data sets.

Although the installation jobs are accessible in the SCHCCNTL data set, data in this data set should not be modified by any program other than SMP/E. If you make changes to any of the SMP/E Target libraries, they will be lost when future maintenance updates the members of the Target data sets. If a member from any of the SMP/E Target data sets is to be used to produce an installation job, configuration member, and so on, it should be copied from the SMP/E Target data set to a modifiable data set, where it can be adapted as necessary.

The following jobs can be found in the SCHCCNTL data set after the CHCAPPLY job has been executed:

  • CHCALA—JCL to define an SMP/E CSI VSAM data set containing a GLOBAL Zone.
  • CHCALB—JCL to allocate general purpose SMP/E data sets and create the Target and DLIB Zones that will be used by CDC Replication.
  • CHCALLOC—JCL to allocate the CDC Replication Target and DLIB library data sets.
  • CHCDDDEF—JCL to create the SMP/E DDDEFs in the Target and DLIB Zones, used for locating the Target and DLIB library data sets.
  • CHCRECEV—JCL to load the distribution data sets and cumulative maintenance data sets into an SMP/E environment.
  • CHCAPPLY—JCL to execute an SMP/E APPLY CHECK or APPLY process to install CDC Replication into the SMP/E Target libraries.
  • CHCACCEP—JCL to execute an SMP/E ACCEPT CHECK or ACCEPT process to copy the CDC Replication SMPTLIBs into the SMP/E DLIB libraries.
  • CHCDFPAL—JCL to define and initialize the CDC Replication product administration log (PAL).
  • CHCDFMTD—JCL to define and initialize the CDC Replication metadata VSAM cluster.
  • CHCMDMBD—JCL to bind the packages and plan for the CHCMDMUT (metadata install and upgrade utility) program.
  • CHCMDMUT—JCL to create or upgrade the CDC Replication metadata tables to either the current release or maintenance level or both.
  • CHCGRNTA—JCL to grant Db2 authorities to the security identifier assigned to the CDC Replication address space.
  • CHCBNDPL—JCL to bind the Db2 Packages and Plans that will be used by CDC Replication to access the DB2 log, metadata tables, and application data tables that are to be replicated.
  • CHCCRCCH—JCL to create the VSAM data set containing the Level 2 Db2 log cache and the cache control data set that maintains a description of the data in the cache.
  • CHCPROC—JCL to execute the CDC Replication product. This JCL can be stored in a procedure library to be invoked either as a started task or by a batch job.
  • CHCMTAUT—JCL to configure features of CDC Replication that can not be configured using Management Console.
  • CHCMDPRT—JCL to execute the CDC Replication Metadata Print Utility. This JCL need not be executed during the installation process. It is used if a report on the content of the CDC Replication metadata is required for problem analysis or other purposes.
  • CHCBLTTL—JCL to create and load Db2 tables that will contain the CDC Replication tutorial tables. This JCL need not be executed during the installation process. It can be used at a later time if the tutorial is required.

To continue the installation process, these jobs must be run in the proper order. For a new installation of CDC for Db2 for z/OS® version 11.4.0, you must run CHCDFPAL, CHCDFMTD, CHCGRNTA, CHCMDMBD, CHCMDMUT, CHCBNDPL, and CHCCRCCH. For an upgrade from CDC for Db2 for z/OS version 6.2.x to version 11.4.0, you must run CHCDFPAL, CHCGRNTA, CHCMDMBD, CHCMDMUT and CHCBNDPL.
