Environment

OPSMVS

Cause

Missing configuration step regarding the OPSMODE command processor

Resolution

OPSMODE command processor has to be installed

From OPS/MVS documentation:

Install OPSMODE Command Processor

If you are a former Automate user that still uses the Automate command processor, you must install the OPSMODE command processor.

If you are going to use the External Product Interface (EPI) Record and Playback feature, you must install the OPSMODE command processor.

To install OPSMODE, you can use the provided SMP/E USERMOD in member USERMODS of the OPS.CCLXCNTL data set. This member is a sample for installing OPSMODE under SMP/E. OPS/MVS Technical Support recommends that the USERMOD be received and applied but not accepted.

Sample JCLs to install the usermod:

Receive JCL:

 

//S010   EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,PARM='PROCESS=WAIT',DYNAMNBR=120 
//SMPCSI   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=prefix.CSI                     
//SMPOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                    
//SMPRPT   DD SYSOUT=*                                    
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                    
//SMPPTFIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=prefix.CCLXCNTL(USERMODS)      
//SMPCNTL  DD *                                           
   SET BOUNDARY(GLOBAL) .                                 
   RECEIVE                                                
      SYSMODS                                             
      .                                                   
/*                    

Apply JCL:

//APPLY    EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,PARM='DATE=U',REGION=0M
//SMPCSI   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=prefix.CSI             
//SMPCNTL  DD *                                   
 SET BOUNDARY (CAIT0) .                           
 APPLY                                            
  SELECT (                                        
   OPUM001                                        
          )                                       
  BYPASS(HOLDSYSTEM).                             
//*   

Replace "prefix" with the high level qualifier of your OPS/MVS libraries.
