Maintaining File Manager Service Provider
If service is applied, some maintenance steps are necessary.
Before you begin
Note: If the service provider is not already installed into the z/OS Connect environment, then
maintenance is not applicable, and the installation steps should be followed instead.
The maintenance procedure is conducted in the UNIX® System Services environment and has the following environmental prerequisites:
- The shell environment must have a z/OS® Connect EE-compatible version of Java™ available on the environment PATH variable. You can check the PATH variable by using the UNIX® System Services echo $PATH command.
- The z/OS® Connect installation directory <ZCON_INST_DIR>/v3r0/wlp/bin must be in the PATH environment variable.
About this task
The File Manager Service Provider for z/OS® Connect feature is shipped as a binary archive in the SFMNSAM1 data set as member FMNZCEE. The archive contains the following files:
com.hcl.zosconnect.fm.provider.feature_n.n.n.n.esa | Feature archive |
fmService.sar | File Manager Base component service archive |
fmIMSService.sar | IMS™ service archive |
fmDB2Service.sar | Db2® service archive |
filemanager.properties | Properties file |
com.hcl.zosconnect.buildtoolkit.filemanager.jar | Build Toolkit plug-in |
The following procedure includes stopping and restarting the z/OS® Connect WLP server. In high-availability environments this may be
undesirable. For alternative procedures refer to the following topics:
Procedure
- Extract the File Manager Service Provider for z/OS® Connect archive from the SFMNSAM1 data set using the UNIX
System Services pax command.
pax -rf "//'<hlq>.SFMNSAM1(FMNZCEE)'"
This command extracts the FMNZCEE archive into the current working directory. -
Copy the service archive files to the z/OS® Connect
service directory.
For example:
cp fm*.sar /var/zosconnect/servers/<yourWLPServer>/resources/zosconnect/services
Ensure that the service archive files are readable by the z/OS® Connect WLP started task user. -
(Optional) If you use the zconbt command to create SAR files, copy the
File Manager Build Toolkit plug-in to the Build Toolkit /plugins directory.
For example:
cp com.hcl.zosconnect.buildtoolkit.filemanager.jar /var/zconbtv3/plugins
- Check APAR HOLDDATA before continuing to the next step in case there are additional steps that need to occur at this point.
- Stop the z/OS Connect WLP server.
-
Uninstall the current File Manager Service Provider using the installUtility command.
For example:
installUtility uninstall filemanager:fmProvider-2.0
-
Reinstall the File Manager Service Provider feature into z/OS Connect using the installUtility
command.
For example:
Note that the .esa filename may vary by version.installUtility install com.hcl.zosconnect.fm.provider.feature_2.0.0.0.esa --to=filemanager
- Restart the z/OS Connect WLP server.
