Installing target libraries

Before you can install IBM Z Software Asset Management in a production environment, you can create a test environment.

Before you begin

The installation must be performed by a z/OS® system programmer who has access to ShopzSeries to download the product.

Procedure

  1. Download IBM Z Software Asset Management 8.3, and all available maintenance components.
  2. Follow the Receive and Apply instructions in the IBM Z Software Asset Management Program Directory to install the target libraries.
    The following libraries are installed:
    Data set low-level qualifier (LLQ) Description
    SHSIANL1 Analyzer reports.
    SHSIANL2 Java script charting code.
    SHSIEXEC REXX code.
    SHSIGKB1 Global Knowledge base data.
    SHSIMJPN Message templates in Japanese.
    SHSIMOD1 Load modules.
    SHSIPARM Templates that the HSISCUST job uses to populate &HSIINST..PARMLIB library.
    SHSIPROC JCL PROCs.
    SHSISAMP Templates that the HSISCUST job uses to populate the &HSIINST..JCLLIB library.
  3. Install all PTF maintenance packages.
  4. Ensure that the target libraries are available to the LPAR where you intend to configure the test Db2® for z/OS database.
  5. Specify that the SHSIMOD1 data set is authorized by the Authorized Program Facility (APF).
    For example, you can enter:
    SETPROG APF,ADD,DSN=hsi.SHSIMOD1,SMS
    or
    SETPROG APF,ADD,DSN=hsi.SHSIMOD1,VOL=xxxxxx
  6. Schedule a change request to roll out target libraries to all z/OS LPARs where IBM Z Software Asset Management is used and include APF authorization for SHSIMOD1.
    For example, update the appropriate PROGxx member.
