SAMPJCL(INSTALL) parameters LSDATACL and SMPNTSHL

Products

• SYSVIEW Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

During Sysview installation the job in hlq.sysview.SAMPJCL(INSTALL) requires 2 parameters:

     LSDATACL=cisize24k,  

     SMPNTSHL=/yourUnpaxedUSSdirectory/,   

If SMS is not installed and active at the lpar, what should be specified for the LSDATACL parameter?

For  the SMPNTSHL parameter. What USS directory gets pointed to?

Resolution

For the LSDATACL parameter:
If SMS is installed, it's not possible to have MVS log streams. The LSDATACL symbol gets substituted in the log stream creation install jobs.
Since there is no log stream defined, the configurations isn't important.. It's possible to specify anything, valid or not, for this symbol as it will never end up being used.

For the SMPNTSHL parameter:
The parameter specifies the USS directory path used for the Pax ESD download. This parameter sets the SMPNTS location for the SMP/E RECEIVE FROMNTS.

The value specified here gets plugged in on the SMPNTS DD in subsequent job INST0003.
