Implementing Advanced Allocation Management

When you implement Advanced Allocation Management, you determine if you want to run a single instance or multiple instances of the product and whether the instances will share a control data set or whether each instance will use a separate control data set.

About this task

To implement Advanced Allocation Management, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Review the information about compatibility with other products. For more information, see Compatibility with other products.
  2. If you have an earlier version of Advanced Allocation Management or IBM® Tivoli® Allocation Optimizer for z/OS®, and you want to install Advanced Allocation Management 3.3, see Coexistence with earlier versions.
  3. Decide whether to run a single instance or multiple instances of Advanced Allocation Management.

    Implementing multiple instances of Advanced Allocation Management in test and production environments is useful when you first install the product or when you want to reserve one subsystem for testing purposes and another subsystem for production purposes. For more information, see Multiple instances of Advanced Allocation Management.

  4. If you want to run multiple instances of the product, decide whether the instances will share a control data set or whether each instance will use a separate control data set. For more information, see Separate control data sets for multiple instances and One shared control data set for multiple instances.
  5. Review the guidelines for implementing the product. For more information, see Guidelines for implementing Advanced Allocation Management.
