Step 1. Loading tracker software

You must load tracker software on each z/OS system in your configuration. Process the software distribution media by using the facilities of System Modification Program Extended (SMP/E). This creates or updates the necessary software libraries on your system. tracker libraries loaded by SMP/E describes the distribution and target libraries that are created or updated by SMP/E.

Table 1. tracker libraries loaded by SMP/E
SMP/E DD name Description
Distribution Target
AEQQPNL0 SEQQPNL0 Panels for the EQQJOBS installation aid
AEQQMOD0 (object) SEQQLMD0 (load) tracker modules
AEQQMSG0 SEQQMSG0 Messages
AEQQMAC0 SEQQMAC0 Assembler macros
AEQQCLIB SEQQCLIB IBM Z Workload Scheduler CLISTs
AEQQSAMP SEQQSAMP Sample exits, programs, and JCL
AEQQSKL0 SEQQSKL0 JCL skeletons, input to EQQJOBS
AEQQTBL0 SEQQTBL0 ISPF tables
AEQQDATA SEQQDATA Sample IBM Z Workload Scheduler databases
AEQQMISC SEQQMISC License, REXX files

It is recommended that you place all the IBM Z Workload Scheduler load modules in a separate library. Use the same library for both the tracker and the Z controller. Create the library before you run the SMP/E jobs.

Alternatively, you can place the IBM Z Workload Scheduler load modules in one of your existing load-module libraries, for example SYS1.LINKLIB. The remaining data sets loaded by SMP/E are new data sets that you must create before running the SMP/E jobs. For the JCL and instructions to load the software, see the IBM Z Workload Scheduler: Program Directory.

After you have loaded the tracker software, apply any recommended maintenance described in the PSP bucket.
