Can not use dataset actions from Windows Client

Products

• Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Issue/Introduction

In Vantage I have access to the actions for all objects except for datasets all (DTOC4SYS). I have authority to the 'stgadmin' resource in RACF. Could you help me get access to dataset actions?

Environment

Vantage

Resolution

The DTOC4SYS actions are missing because the XMLDEFS DDNAME pointing to the CCTUXML SMP/E data set is not defined in the JCL of the Vantage procedure.
Vantage tries to open the HLQ1.HLQ2.CCTUXML data set as the SMP/E data set prefix is defined as: SMPPFX | HLQ1.HLQ2, but the SMP/E prefix is apparently HLQ1.CA.VANTAGE.

The error message related to this can be found in the message log as: 

VKG0400I VKG0282I DSN Not Cataloged HLQ1.HLQ2.CCTUXML

Also, the DTOC4SYS object requires the Base license.

This is the second problem related to this case. The customer is running with the Vantage GMI which is included free of charge when used with another Broadcom product (for example, TLMS, CA Datacom/DB, etc.).
The Vantage GMI provides you access to objects for the other Broadcom products using GMI, and the following basic storage management objects in the Object Tree:

■ CA Vantage Management, which includes sub-objects: – System Activity (Message Log, Mailbox, System Parameters, Operator Commands, and others) – Analysis Tools (memory usage, object dictionary, and component analysis)
■ Catalog Management (locations, relationships, entries, and space usage)
■ DFSMS Constructs (all attributes)
■ Hardware Errors (current and historical, and tape units)
■ Storage Groups (space usage and other attributes)
■ Volumes (DASD - space usage and other attributes)
■ z/OS System Resources (APF list, Link list, and so on) However, Dataset Management with the DTOC4SYS object is not listed.
 
One can see which Vantage component needs to be licensed for each object via the following view in the GUI:

=> CA Vantage Internal Management => 'Test Object, LMP, OTree, Calendar' =>' License Verification (LMP)'

Run this view with a filter, such as: "Object Nm" INCL DTOC/,LSPACE/
One will see that for the DTOC4SYS object one will need a license for the Vantage Base component (prod code '0C'), as seen in column 'LMP1'.
For the LSPACEPO object one will need a license for the Vantage Base (value '0C' as seen in column 'LMP1'), or as per column 'LMP2', with code 'K6' indicating that access is granted for the Vantage GMI.
