How to: Remove SNA protocol from an RTE

After you set up the RTE, you might find that the SNA protocol is no longer needed. You can remove the SNA protocol by changing corresponding parameters. This topic explains how to perform this task using PARMGEN.

About this task

To remove the SNA protocol, edit the parameters in the configuration profile, re-create the RTE and jobs, and then copy the runtime members from the work libraries to the production libraries.

Procedure

  1. Define the RTE that you want to configure.
    1. Start the installation and configuration tool by running the command EX 'gbl_target_hilev.TKANCUS' where gbl_target_hilev is the high-level qualifier for the SMP/E target libraries where the products are installed.
      The Welcome screen for the z/OS Installation and Configuration Tools is displayed.
    2. Select 3 (Configuration Workflow), and press Enter.
    3. Specify the information of the RTE that you want to configure including GBL_USER_JCL, RTE_PLIB_HILEV, and RTE_NAME, and press Enter.
      PARAMETER GENERATOR (PARMGEN) Workflow - Primary Option Menu is displayed.
  2. Edit the parameters in the configuration profile.
    1. From the Workflow - Primary Option Menu, select 2 (Customize PARMGEN configuration profiles).
      The Customize PARMGEN Configuration Profile Members panel (KCIP@PG6) is displayed.
    2. Select 1 to edit the RTE profile.
    3. Remove the SNA value from all KDS_TEMS_COMM_PROTOCOLn parameters and Kpp_AGT_COMM_PROTOCOLn parameters.
    4. Save the changes and return to the Workflow - Primary Options Menu panel.
  3. Re-create the RTE and jobs.
    1. Select Create the RTE members and jobs.
      The $PARSE/$PARSESV: Create the RTE Members and Jobs panel (KCIP@PR1) is displayed.
    2. Select option 1 to submit the $PARSE job (or the $PARSESV job, if variables are enabled).
    3. Return to the Workflow - Primary Options Menu panel.
  4. Copy the runtime members from the work libraries to the production libraries.
    1. Select Submit batch jobs to complete PARMGEN setup from the menu.
      The Submit Batch Jobs To Complete PARMGEN Setup panel (KCIP@SUB) is displayed.
    2. Optional: Select option 11 and submit the KCIJPCPR job to back up the production libraries.
    3. Select option 12 and submit the KCIJPW2R job (or the KCIJPW1R job) to copy the work libraries to the production libraries.

Results

The SNA protocol is safely removed from the RTE.
