Overview

The DLA must be installed or accessible to each z/OS® system or sysplex that is the subject of discovery. This involves:

• SMP/E installation of the z/OS DLA product libraries. Details are provided in the z/OS DLA Program Directory (publication number GI13-5562-00).
• Making the product target libraries available to all systems where discovery is required.
• Authorizing the z/OS DLA target load library. The discovery module needs APF authorization to perform a full discovery of all class instances and attributes.
• Customizing the JCL for the DLA job and procedures.
• Allocating a user ID with an OMVS segment to run the DLA.
• Binding the DSNREXX DB2 interface if required. This procedure is described in the IBM® Db2® 12 for z/OS Installation and Migration Guide.
• Scheduling the DLA batch job to execute.
• Providing SAF (System Authorization Facility) access as required for resources, including WebSphere® for MQ resources, Db2 resources, and z/OS system resources.
