Issue/Introduction

You need to generate an ISV SCRT report but don't have access to JAVA or z/OS to meet requirements (Prerequisites

  • Java not available or not supported
  • z/OS system not available
  • Broadcom ISV Product Catalog missing or backleveled 
  • JCL to generate ISV SCRT report missing or not available

If you do not comply with one or more of these prerequisites, what are your options? 

Resolution

If you do not have a z/OS system available or your Java version does not meet minimum requirements, then you can generate your ISV reports on a Windows or Linux platform. This option requires you to make your SMF data and the Broadcom ISV Product Catalog available to the platform on which you will generate the report.

Download and Using SCRT on Windows and Linux Systems

Obtain JCL to Generate Broadcom ISV SCRT Reports

The JCL is shipped as part of the Common Components and Services for z/OS. You can find this file in the CAISCRT member of the CAW0JCL data set. If this member is not included in your library you can obtain it by applying solution SO13696. All SCRT-related PTFs are documented in informational solution LU07226.

If you cannot apply the PTF that delivers the JCL, you can get a copy from the text file attached to this article (CAISCRT).

Obtain the Broadcom ISV Product Catalog

The required minimum catalog level is version 14. The catalog file is shipped as part of the Common Components and Services for z/OS. You can find this file in the CAS9SCRT member of the CAW0OPTV data set. If this version or member is not included in your library you can obtain it by applying solution LU13705. You can obtain the latest catalog version (version 15) by applying solution LU14236.

If you cannot apply the required maintenance, you can get the latest version of the CAS9SCRT file here.

You can find more information about obtaining and using the Broadcom ISV Catalog in this Common Services community thread.

 

NOTES:

If you are running any unsupported versions of Common Components and Services for z/OS (anything prior to version 15.0), then it is advisable to upgrade to version 15.0 and apply all currently published maintenance. Understand that the minimum supported z/OS for CCS 15.0 is z/OS 2.1.

If your z/OS level prevents you from upgrading to CCS 15.0, and you are running CCS 14.1, you can still generate and submit Broadcom ISV SCRT Reports. Ensure you have all CCS 14.1 related PTFs that are documented in informational solution LU07226.

If you are running anything older than CCS 14.1 then you can still generate and submit reports, however they are likely to not display any Broadcom products. This is because the ability to generate SMF 89 subtype 2 records is absent.
