Environment

Release: 13.5
Component: OPS/MVS 

Cause

When installing the FMID CCLXD54 - CA OPS/MVS OPSHMC REXX some external libraries are required.

 

Resolution

If this function CCLXD54 - CA OPS/MVS OPSHMC REXX is not required you can just remove the FMID CCLXD54 from the apply job.

If this FMID should be installed, then it is necessary to follow the instructions in the section "Tailor External Library Names for Your Site" of the documentation at below link :

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-mainframe-software/automation/ca-ops-mvs-event-management-and-automation/13-5/installing/prepare-for-installation/tailor-external-library-names-for-your-site.html

Specifically the following items are required for the FMID CCLXD54:

 * /user/dll/

IBM Hardware Management Console Application API DLL USS directory

CA OPS/MVS

 OPSHMC REXX function (FMID CCLXD54) requires this USS directory.

Download the DLL file named HWMCAAPI from the IBM website into the file HWMCAAPI of this USS directory. The file is available for download from http://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink; click Services, then API, then z/OS. For more information, see IBM manual

 System z Application Programming Interfaces 

(SB10-7030).

* USER.HWMCAEXP

IBM Hardware Management Console Application API sidedeck library

CA OPS/MVS

 OPSHMC REXX function (FMID CCLXD54) requires this library.

This library must be RECFM=FB/LRECL=80.

Download the sidedeck file named HWMCAAPI.x from the IBM website into the member HWMCAAPI of this library. The file is available for download from http://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink; click Services, then API, then z/OS. For more information, see IBM manual

 System z Application Programming Interfaces

 (SB10-7030).

 

It is important to remark that, during this phase, the DLL file named HWMCAAPI, downloaded from IBM site and included in the Uss directory HWMCADLL pointed by the  SMP/E installation, should be present as phase in capital letters otherwise the SMP/E APPLY will not find it and will end with the error :

IEW2763S DE07 FILE ASSOCIATED WITH DDNAME HWMCADLL CANNOT BE OPENED BECAUSE THE FILE DOES NOT EXIST OR CANNOT BE
CREATED.
