Step 35A: Preparing NetView

Procedure

  1. Concatenate the SGDPPARM product data set to the DSIPARM DD-statement in the NetView startup procedure. See the INGENVSA sample that is provided by SA z/OS in the SINGSAMP library for more details.
  2. If you need to modify the INGXINIT member, which is the initialization member of the SA z/OS communication task for the production system or its equivalent, copy them to your user data sets and make your modifications there.
    The GDPS controlling system uses the z/OS system symbol &SYSCLONE. as the XCF group ID. This allows the same member to be used for all controlling systems. The resulting XCF group will always be created in a unique way: INGXSGxx, where xx is the value of &SYSCLONE. This corresponds to HSAPRMKS as described in Step 35B: Preparing the Automation Manager.
  3. If necessary, copy the INGSTGEN member from the sample library (SINGSAMP) to the CNMSTGEN member of the DSIPARM data set of each NetView instance in your sysplex and adapt the TOWER statements according to your installation.
    For a list of valid gdps-option statements, refer to the INGSTGEN member from the sample library.
    Note: If the TOWER.SA includes GDPS, the VPCEINIT installation exit that is required by each supported GDPS product is automatically called during initialization of SA z/OS. Additionally, System Automation will automatically disable recovery for minor resources MVSESA.CF and MVSESA.XCF. If the TOWER includes ACTIVEACTIVE and the TOWER.SA includes GDPSSAT, the VPCSINIT installation exit that is required by the GDPS AA Satellite product is automatically called during initialization of SA z/OS.
