Configuring the target systems

About this task

Who: System programmer, automation administrator, security administrator

Procedure

  1. Before SA z/OS is started on a target system, you perform an installation process and configure the system to work with it.
  2. The security administrator gives the system programmer and the automation administrator ALTER access to the HLQ for the locally allocated and active automation policy data sets.
    He also needs to give the following access to the user ID that the SA z/OS started tasks are associated with (NetView, System Automation Manager):
    • READ for SMP/E and active automation policy
    • UPDATE for the locally allocated data sets
  3. It is recommended that the automation administrator runs the SA z/OS Configuration Assistant tool to configure the product. For manual configuration, refer to IBM Z® System Automation Planning and Installation.
    A set of tailored jobs, procedures, and parameter files is produced. Then, the automation administrator runs the produced jobs. The system programmer copies the procedures and the parameters file into the system production libraries, and tailors them to or consolidates them with existing procedures, as required. For more information, see Installing System Automation
  4. The security administrator ensures that the procedures and data sets are properly authorized.
