Specifying SMP/E zone attributes

Specify the attributes of the SMP/E distribution zone, global zone, target zone, and any additional target zones.

The CICS Db2® attachment facility contains modules named with the DSN prefix. Therefore, to prevent existing Db2 modules with the same DSNxxxxx names from being overwritten, do not install CICS® Transaction Server into the same target and distribution zones as Db2.

To specify SMP/E zone attributes, use the following parameters:

GZONELOG dsname NEW|OLD
Specifies details of the SMP/E log for the global zone CSI.
dsname
The name of the global zone log.
NEW|OLD
Specifies whether an existing global zone log is to be used. If you specify NEW, any existing global zone log with the specified dsname is deleted, and a new global zone log is allocated. If you specify OLD, an existing global zone log is used.
TZONELOG dsname NEW|OLD
Specifies details of the SMP/E log for the target zone CSI.
dsname
The name of the target zone log.
NEW|OLD
Specifies whether an existing target zone log is to be used. If you specify NEW, any existing target zone log with the specified dsname is deleted, and a new target zone log is allocated. If you specify OLD, an existing target zone log is used.
DZONELOG dsname NEW|OLD
Specifies details of the SMP/E log for the distribution zone CSI.
dsname
The name of the distribution zone log.
NEW|OLD
Specifies whether an existing distribution zone log is to be used. If you specify NEW, any existing distribution zone log with the specified dsname is deleted, and a new distribution zone log is allocated. If you specify OLD, an existing distribution zone log is used.
GZONECSI cluster NEW|OLD volume disktype
Specifies details of the global zone CSI.
cluster
The VSAM cluster name, without the qualifier '.CSI'.
NEW|OLD
Specifies whether an existing global zone CSI is to be used. If you specify NEW, any existing global zone CSI with the specified cluster name is deleted, and a new global zone CSI is allocated. If you specify OLD, an existing global zone CSI is used.
volume
Either the volume serial (volser) identifier for the volume on which the global zone CSI is to be allocated or a period (.) if the CSI is to be put on a volume determined by the CICS Transaction Server installation process.
disktype
The UNIT parameter for the volume.
TZONECSI cluster NEW|OLD volume disktype
Specifies details of the target zone CSI.
cluster
The VSAM cluster name, without the qualifier '.CSI'.
NEW|OLD
Specifies whether an existing target zone CSI is to be used. If you specify NEW, any existing target zone CSI with the specified cluster name is deleted, and a new target zone CSI is allocated. If you specify OLD, an existing target zone CSI is used.
volume
Either the volume serial (volser) identifier for the volume on which the target zone CSI is to be allocated or a period (.) if the CSI is to be put on a volume determined by the CICS Transaction Server installation process.
disktype
The UNIT parameter for the volume.
DZONECSI cluster NEW|OLD volume disktype
Specifies details of the distribution zone CSI.
cluster
The VSAM cluster name, without the qualifier '.CSI'.
NEW|OLD
Specifies whether an existing distribution zone CSI is to be used. If you specify NEW, any existing distribution zone CSI with the specified cluster name is deleted, and a new distribution zone CSI is allocated. If you specify OLD, an existing distribution zone CSI is used.
volume
Either the volume serial (volser) identifier for the volume on which the distribution zone CSI is to be allocated or a period (.) if the CSI is to be put on a volume determined by the CICS Transaction Server installation process.
disktype
The UNIT parameter for the volume.
GZONE NEW|OLD options
Specifies whether the global zone to be used already exists.
NEW|OLD
Specifies whether an existing global zone is to be used. The DFHISTAR job as supplied specifies NEW. Optionally, change this to OLD to use an existing global zone. If you specify OLD, CICS Transaction Server is installed into an existing SMP/E global zone.

Specify NEW if you want to preserve your existing releases of CICS Transaction Server in their current SMP/E zones and install the new release in its own zones.

If you specify OLD, the existing SMP/E zones are used and any existing release of the product is deleted.

If you specify OLD, but specify NEW for the GZONECSI parameter, both parameters are assigned the NEW disposition.

options
Specifies the name of the SMP/E options to be used on the SET BOUNDARY command.
TZONE zonename
Specifies the name of the target zone.
zonename
The name of the target zone to be used by SMP/E. This name must be unique to the target zone. It must not be longer than seven characters, and the leading character must be alphabetic.
DZONE zonename
Specifies the name of the distribution zone.
zonename
The name of the distribution zone to be used by SMP/E. This name must be unique in the global zone. It must not be longer than seven characters, and the leading character must be alphabetic.
