Configure the Sysplex Management service
To use the Sysplex Management service, you must configure it as described in this topic.
Dependencies on other z/OSMF services
The Sysplex Management service requires the following services to be configured:
- Common event adapter (CEA); see Ensure that common event adapter (CEA) is configured and active
- z/OSMF Settings service; see Configure the z/OSMF settings service
- z/OS data set and file REST interface; see Configure the z/OS data set and file REST services
- TSO/E address space services; see Configure the TSO/E address space services
- Consoles services; see Configure the console services.
Security setup
To assist you with performing the security setup, IBM provides the sample security job IZUSPSEC in SYS1.SAMPLIB.
Do the following:
- Make a copy of this job.
- Review and edit the job, if necessary.
- Submit the job as a batch job on your z/OS system.
Ensure that the IZUSPSEC job completes with return code 0000
. To verify, check
the results of the job execution in the job log, for example, by using SDSF.
Host system customization
The z/OS common event adapter (CEA) service must be configured and started in full-function mode to run this service. See Ensure that common event adapter (CEA) is configured and active.
Note: If your system uses JES3 as its primary subsystem, and you find that jobs are
not running, verify that JES3 is configured to allow multiple jobs with the same name. The JES3
option DUPJOBNM option must be set to
YES
. For more information, see the JES3 note
in Host system customization.Optional extensions to this service
You can further extend the function of this service by enabling other, corequisite services in z/OSMF. Table 1 describes these dependencies.
