Issue/Introduction

Description:

This document is intended to better enlighten the process behind the ESDPAX process that became an option for product download effective at CA MIM Release 11.6 SP2 as part of the CA Mainframe 2.0 Initiative. This documentation reviews the steps of completing the jobs necessary for unpacking and unzipping the CA MIM product post download from CA Support Online and uploading to the USS directory.

Solution:

This document is intended to better elaborate on the ESDPAX process, which became available as part of the CA Mainframe 2.0 initiatives with the first release being CA MIM 11.6 SP2. The following reviews the series of tasks required for the product download of CA MIM from CA Support Online and uploading the necessary files to the USS directory for product installation. Additional documentation concerning this topic can be viewed on the CA Support Online website by following these links:

NOTE: THIS GUIDE DOES NOT REVIEW THE MSM INSTALLATION OF THE MIM PRODUCT.

Instructions:

The procedure for unpacking the .PAX files are listed below. Please remember to customize only the JCL instructed to be changed. Any other modifications can lead to "unpredictable results". The following dataset member names will be used throughout the process to indicate the steps for easy reference. This process is divided into three (3) steps:

  1. Download USS PAX FILE TO ESD SITE via FTP. (ESDDLDPX member).

  2. Unpack the CA MIM product (ESDUNPAK member).

  3. Run the JCL to create the product files on DASD (ESDUNZIP member).

NOTE: It is recommended to copy thE FOLLOWING JCL templates to a Partitioned Dataset.
NOTE: ONLY CHANGE THE ITEMS WITH THE FONT FORMAT OF BOLD ITALICS !

  1. Download USS PAX FILE TO ESD SITE via FTP. A template of this document can be found on pg. 24 of the "Pax Enhanced Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) Guide".

    This job is used for the FTP or FTPPATH product download options only. The changes made, other than the Job card), to this job include:

    • FTP Client Instruction Host

    • Directory position of the FTP Path

    • Filename portion of the FTP Path

      The FTP information used in this job is found on Support Online, after clicking on the "Show Individual Components" tab on the "Product Download" page.

      Here is an example of that information for review:

      <Please see attached file for image>

      Figure 1

      If you used the HTTP option for downloading, you may eliminate this step as the product is located on your pc's hard disk in the location that was specified when downloaded.

  2. Customize and execute the ESDUNPAK member to unzip the CA MIM product to your USS directory.

    Other than modifying the Job card, you will need to specify the system and "PARM" settings. These are the same settings for the BPXBATCH settings used in Step 1 of this installation procedure.

    Once the job completes, the .ZIP files are unpackaged and loaded to your USS directory. The job output should specify a set of files, looking similar to these:

    TypeFilename
    Dir. 
    Dir.. 
    FileAREADME
    FileGIMPAF.XML
    FileGIMPAF.XSL
    DirSMPPTFIN
    DirSMPRELF
    FileS0001.CAI.CTDB600.INSTALL.NOTES.pax.Z
    FileS0003.CAI.CTDB600.MIM.TGZ.pax.Z
    FileUNZIPJCL


  3. Customize and execute the supplied ESDUNZIP JCL to create the product files on a specified DASD volume.

    This job is located in the UNZIPJCL file, inside the unzipped CA MIM USS directory. It is recommended that a copy of this job be made for submission and not to alter the actual template located in the member. This job will take your MIM.CNTL files and load them to a DASD file or workpack (See instructions).

    Changes made, (other than the Job card), to this job include:

    • Specifying your USS directory.

    • Change ONLY the "yourHLQ" to your high level qualifiers for the installation files. NOTE: NOT TO MODIFY THE LOW LEVEL QUALIFIERS!

    • Specify the DASD volume (if applicable).

      If job completes successfully with a condition code of zero (0), the output will display files similar to these which will be on the DASD volumes specified in the job:
           yourHLQ.CAI.CTDB600.F1     yourHLQ.CAI.CTDB600.F2     yourHLQ.CAI.CTDB600.INSTALL.NOTES     yourHLQ.CAI.CTDB600.MIM.CNTL     yourHLQ.CAI.CTDB600.MIM.SMPMCS     yourHLQ.CAI.CTDB600.MIM.TGZ
      You may now begin the CA MIM Installation Guide to install the CA MIM product. Due to USS directory space, it may be required to delete the product .PAX directory and their associated files.

Troubleshooting and Common Problems:

Common issues noted by customers and CA Support with this process are:

  • Customer site unzipping the .PAX file prior to USS upload.

  • Customer modifying the UNZIPJCL member in a manner that would not allow it to work as designed.

  • Customer receiving the following messages upon implementing the product files to DASD:

    GIM38601E ** SYSMOD CTDB600 WAS NOT RECEIVED BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECEIVED
    GIM39001E ** SYSMOD CTDB600 WAS NOT RECEIVED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SPECIFIED ON

    *This was the result of the customer using "in-house" installation JCL.*

  • Customers naming the .PAX files in lower case format when defining the ESDUNPAK member.

  • Customers attempting to overwrite their SMP/e members with the new SMP/e target and DLIB CSI.

  • Customers attempt to use the "Old ESD Process" (Legacy ESD) when installing the product .PAX files.

If there are any questions concerning this document, the ESDPAX process, or the Mainframe 2.0 Initiative, please do not hesitate to contact CA Support.
