Before you run QMF under CICS®,
you must describe QMF to CICS by
modifying and running a job that updates the CICS system
definitions (CSDs).
About this task
Job DSQ1ECSD creates a new list called QMF,
which is defined in the CICS system
definition file (CSD). CICS offers
a utility program (DFHCSDUP) to update the CSD with a batch job. Use
DFHCSDUP to update all QMF/CICS control
tables except the DCT. DSQ1ECSD also defines the DB2ENTRY that is
associated with the correct plan name and group by the QMF transaction.
Procedure
- Use the RDO
VIEW Lsrpool name command
to check the current definitions of the LSRPOOL. The QMF panel
data set (DSQPNLE) requires a VSAM CI size of 32 K. QMF does
not explicitly define an LSRPOOL entry. Instead, QMF defaults
to the CICS default
of 1. If the LSRPOOL in your installation is smaller than 32 KB, use
DFHCSDUP to specify an LSRPOOL that supports a VSAM CI size of 32
KB.
- Edit QMF1310.SDSQSAPE(DSQ1ECSD)
and verify or change the installation parameters in the instream procedure
of the job to accommodate your site's needs.
For example:
//DSQ1ECSD PROC REG=2048K, Job step region
// QMFTPRE='QMF1310', DSN prefix for QMF
// CLOAD='CICS.SDFHLOAD', Name of CICS program library
// CCSD='CICS.DFHCSD', Name of CICS CSD file
// OUTC='*' Print sysout class
- Submit the job and check that the job ran
with a return code of 0. If you receive a non-zero return code, check
the job output and correct the error.
