Verifying the Japanese or Korean components

After you have completed all the necessary steps involved in the initial installation and customization of the File Manager Japanese or Korean components, you need to perform the following steps to verify your customization, before completing the installation process. You might need to refer to the File Manager for z/OS User’s Guide and Reference for IMS Data.

Note: The File Manager for z/OS® Japanese and Korean components both require the File Manager base function product to have already been installed.
  1. Log on to a TSO user ID that is enabled to access and use File Manager. Ensure the ISPF terminal type is set to 3277KN or 3278KN in ISPF option 0.

    • If you defined File Manager to the ISPF command table (see Defining File Manager in an ISPF command table), verify that File Manager can be started by entering the command 'FM' on any ISPF command line.

    The English or Japanese (or Korean) File Manager Primary Option Menu is displayed. depending on the default defined.

  3. If the English menu appears:
    • Check the ISPPLIB concatenation and ensure that the Japanese or Korean panel library (FMN.SFMNPJPN or FMN.SFMNPKOR) is allocated in front of the English panel library (FMN.SFMNPENU).
    • Check the ISPMLIB concatenation and ensure that the Japanese or Korean message library (FMN.SFMNMJPN or FMN.SFMNMKOR) is allocated in front of the English message library (FMN.SFMNMENU).
  4. Enter ver on the command line to display the release level and PTF level of File Manager. If you are verifying the Japanese component, a panel is displayed similar to this:
