Transport runtime environment batch jobs from a local z/OS image to a remote image equipped with the Configuration Tool

Edit online

Complete the steps in this topic to transport runtime environment batch jobs from a local z/OS image to a remote image that is equipped with the Configuration Tool.

Procedure

  1. Start the Configuration Tool on your local image.
  2. Create the Configuration Tool batch mode job:
    1. Starting from the Main Menu, select Configure products > Services and utilities > Create batch mode job.
    2. Press Enter.
  3. Exit the Configuration Tool.
  4. Perform a scan on your runtime environment parameters:
    1. Edit CICATB, updating the BATCHLIB and BATCHMEM parameters as required, and setting the SUBMIT parameter to SCAN.
    2. Submit the CICATB job to scan your runtime environment parameters.
    3. Verify that the job completes successfully; review the parameter report; correct any errors in the parameter member; repeat the scan until a clean report is generated.
  5. Create the runtime environment generation jobs:
    1. Edit CICATB again, setting the SUBMIT parameter to NO. This creates the runtime environment configuration jobs that allocate and populate runtime libraries.
    2. Submit the CICATB job to create the runtime environment generation jobs.
    3. Verify that the job completes successfully.
  6. Start the Configuration Tool again.
  7. Select the runtime environment you want to transport:
    1. Access the Runtime Environments (RTEs) panel. (From the Main Menu, select Configure products > Select product to configure, and then select a product.)
    2. Type Z next to the runtime environment you want to transport and press Enter.
  8. On the RTE Utility Menu, select Generate sample transport JCL and press Enter. This action generates several sample transport jobs in the RKANSAMU library. Member $XPRTNDX provides a description of all generated members.
    For example, to use DFDSS to transport the targets, INSTLIB, INSTDATA, and INSTJOBS to the remote image, use the following sample jobs:
    • XDFDMP03 on the master image to dump the batch jobs.
    • XDFRST03 on the target image to restore the batch jobs.
  9. Submit the batch jobs on the target image in the order listed in the Jobs Sorted By Generation Sequence section of the Configuration Tool Batch Mode job report.
    You can submit each job manually or use the Auto Submit CLIST to automatically submit the Configuration Tool jobs on the target image. To use the Auto Submit CLIST, complete the following steps:
    1. Verify that the SMP/E target libraries are available on the image where the CLIST is to run.
    2. Edit the member named SUB#jclsuffix in INSTJOBS, where jclsuffix identifies the JCL suffix for the new runtime environment.
    3. Run the CLIST to submit the Configuration Tool jobs that create the runtime environment.
  10. Perform the following manual configuration steps on the target image:
    • Copying procedures to PROCLIB.
    • Copying VTAM definitions to VTAMLST.
    • APF-authorizing libraries.
