Checklist of installation and customization tasks

Edit online

This checklist includes a set of procedures for installing the product, creating a test database, populating data, and validating the test installation. When you complete these procedures, you are ready to create a production environment for IBM Z Software Asset Management.

Table 1. Checklist of installation and customization tasks
Step Description Data sets and members
1 Install target libraries.

A z/OS® system programmer performs this task.

Installing target libraries

 hsi = IBM Z Software Asset Management product prefix
  • hsi.SHSIANL1
  • hsi.SHSIANL2
  • hsi.SHSIEXEC
  • hsi.SHSIGKB1
  • hsi.SHSIMJPN
  • hsi.SHSIMOD1
  • hsi.SHSIPARM
  • hsi.SHSIPAX1
  • hsi.SHSIPROC
  • hsi.SHSISAMP
2

Prepare database prerequisites.

A Db2® database administrator performs this task.

Preparing Db2 database prerequisites

The SQLite database is embedded in IBM Z Software Asset Management and the prerequisites are already configured. If you plan to use the SQLite database for your implementation, you do not have to perform this task.

 Db2 SDSNSAMP data set members:
  • DSNTIJTM
  • DSNTIJCL
3 Prepare local environment settings.

Tasks include editing the HSISCUST member in the SHSISAMP target library, changing the SYSIN DD entry for local settings, and running the HSISCUST job. This job generates JCL jobs that you run in subsequent tasks.

A database administrator and an IBM Z Software Asset Management administrator perform this task.

Preparing local environment settings

HSIINST = HLQ for JCLLIB, and PARMLIB libraries

hsi.SHSISAMP data set member: HSISCUST generates
HSIINST.&DB.JCLLIB
HSIINST.&DB.PARMLIB
4 Create a test Repository database.

A database administrator and an IBM Z Software Asset Management administrator perform this task.

 JCLLIB data set member:
  • HSISDB01
  • HSISDB02
  • HSISDB03
  • HSISDB04
  • HSISGKBL
  • HSISGRNT
5 Collect data and import it into the test Repository database.

An IBM Z Software Asset Management administrator performs this task.

Populating the test Repository database with data

 JCLLIB data set members:
  • HSISINQZ: Gather Inquisitor data
  • HSISINQU: Gather Inquisitor UNIX data
  • HSISUMON: Gather Usage Monitor data
  • HSISIQIM: Import Inquisitor data
  • HSISUIMP: Import usage data
6 Create the production Repository database and arrange for regular maintenance.
