Steps to provide access to the ICSF panels

To provide a way for the administrator to access the ICSF panels, you can create an ICSF option on the ISPF Primary Option Menu. Access the code for the ISPF Primary Option Menu panel body and perform these steps:

  1. Under the % OPTION ===> _ZCMD line, add this line:
    % <option value> - ICSF Panels

    You can specify either a letter or number for the option value. Do not use an option value that already exists in the menu.

  2. On the &ZSEL= TRANS( &ZQ line, add this information:
    <option value>,''PANEL(CSF@PRIM) NEWAPPL(CSF)''

    The option value should be the same value as the option value you chose to use in the preceding step.

When you access the ISPF Primary Option Menu panel, the ICSF panels option appears on the menu. You can choose the ICSF option value to access the ICSF panels.

You must also update the logon procedure that is used by ICSF administrators who will use the ICSF panels. For example:
   //SYSPROC DD ...
   .
   .
   .
   //        DD  DSN=CSF.SCSFCLI0,DISP=SHR
   .
   .
   .
   //ISPPLIB DD ...
   .
   .
   .
   //        DD  DSN=CSF.SCSFPNL0,DISP=SHR
   .
   .
   .
   //ISPMLIB DD ...
   .
   .
   .
   //        DD  DSN=CSF.SCSFMSG0,DISP=SHR
   .
   .
   .
   //ISPSLIB DD ...
   .
   .
   .
   //        DD  DSN=CSF.SCSFSKL0,DISP=SHR
   .
   .
   .
   // ISPTLIB
   .
   .
   .
   //        DD DSN=CSF.SCSFTLIB,DISP=SHR
   .
   .
   .
An alternate method to access the ICSF panels is to use ISPF LIBDEF. Here is a sample clist.
   /* Rexx */
   /* IBMs ICSF */

   address ispexec

  "LIBDEF ISPPLIB DATASET ID('CSF.SCSFPNL0') STACK"
  "LIBDEF ISPMLIB DATASET ID('CSF.SCSFMSG0') STACK"
  "LIBDEF ISPSLIB DATASET ID('CSF.SCSFSKL0') STACK"
  "LIBDEF ISPTLIB DATASET ID('CSF.SCSFTLIB') STACK"

  address tso "ALTLIB ACTIVATE APPLICATION(CLIST)
              DATASET('CSF.SCSFCLI0')"
  "SELECT PANEL(CSF@PRIM) NEWAPPL(CSF) PASSLIB"
  address tso "ALTLIB DEACTIVATE APPLICATION(CLIST)"

  "LIBDEF ISPSLIB"
  "LIBDEF ISPPLIB"
  "LIBDEF ISPMLIB"
  "LIBDEF ISPTLIB"

Ensure that the latest CSFKEYS file is part of ISPTLIB; this allows scrolling of the management panels.

The z/OS Program Directory lists additional installation steps and some of these steps depend on the system from which you are migrating. See the z/OS Program Directory, other topics in this publication, and z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF Administrator's Guide for details about the remaining steps.
