Where the IBM Hardware Console Management API DLL HWMCAAPI file should be deployed for both OPS/MVS product install and execution?
OPS/MVS R13.5 and prior releases only.
OPS/MVS supported releases requires that the IBM Hardware Console Management API DLL HWMCAAPI file is deployed in the /user/dll/ path specified in the DDDEF HWMCADLL for installation purposes. That path and file must also be made available for execution when the feature provided for it is required.
For installation purposes ensure the IBM Hardware Console Management API DLL HWMCAAPI file is copied, via a FTP session in binary transfer mode, to the USS path that has been defined in your DDDEF HWMCADLL on your OPS/MVS CSI. The location of the DLL can be any USS path that conforms to your site standards.
This DLL is used to communicate with the IBM Hardware Console Management workstation through the SNMP protocol that runs over TCP/IP. So it will be needed in the future so make sure it is then placed on a location that is a standard for both install/maintenance and execution.
This feature was removed starting in OPS/MVS R14.0
