Is there a Technical Documentation or other webpage that has information on how to perform an installation and maintenance of a product.
For installing and maintaining of the Broadcom products with z/OSMF there are several documents and learning videos..
For the install and maintenance process...
To replace CSM you need currently 2 steps in the new procedure...
- 1. z/OSMF for the initial install and apply of the maintenance
- 2a. SMPE Internet Service Retrieval to download and receive the maintenance
or
- 2b. Download the maintenance manually via the Broadcom support website and use the CAUNZIP to unzip and receive the maintenance
For the install of the products with z/OSMF, it can be found in every product manual.. Every product manual now has a chapter Install Products Using z/OSMF.
Here the link to the CCS 15.0 chapter :
For the maintenance download and installation, it's recommended to use the SMPE Internet Service Retrieval procedure.. This is a batch job that had the product CSI as import and checks what maintenance is still not downloaded. It then downloads the latest maintenance and when requested also receives it into the CSI..
And later it's possible to apply the maintenance via z/OSMF..
This SMPE Internet Retrieval is a very simple batch job that can be ran periodically without any changes, once it is setup..
See here the documentation on this process, the setup and the job details:
And as second option for the maintenance is the manual download of ptfs from our support website and then add them via the CAUNZIP SMPE Receive jcl to the CSI... Which is not the preferred method..
As previously also mentioned, we created some videos in our learning portal for working with z/OSMF and the Broadcom mainframe products..
Please enter the learning portal and enter 'zosmf' as search argument, and you will find these entries:
