x IBM Explorer for z/os : Host Configuration Utility Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction The z/os Explorer Host Configuration Utility is a utility created to assist customers with z/os Explorer host installation customization, installation verification and debug reporting. The Host Configuration Utility is referred to as the "utility" within this document. The utility is designed to manage multiple configurations of a single z/os Explorer service level, hence providing configurations for test and production implementations of the product. The utility is intended to ease the complexity of installation and customization of required tasks and selected common optional tasks. This is paired with a detailed logged customization workflow that can be interrupted and restarted at will. Multiple users can use the same set of configuration files (but not simultaneously). This allows one person to create a configuration, and someone else with proper authority can execute specific steps of the configuration. Note: The Host Configuration Guide (SC27-8437) describes the host configuration using the FEKSETUP job. The FEKSETUP job and the utility do some of the same tasks, with no way of checking to see if those tasks have already been performed. Therefore it is possible to undo changes that have already been made. For this reason, you should not use both methods for a single installation. Components The utility consists of a series of partitioned data sets that can be divided into two groups, common product data sets and user-specific data sets created by the utility. There are also a few members added to the user s ISPF profile data set. Product data sets The product data sets listed in Table 1 contain REXX execs, ISPF panels, message files, and control files. These data sets should be available in read-only mode to all users of the utility. Table 1. Product data sets Data set name FEK.SFEKEXEC FEK.SFEKINPT FEK.SFEKMSGS FEK.SFEKPANL FEK.SFEKSKEL FEK.SFEKTABL Description REXX execs to run the utility Control files ISPF message files ISPF panels Skeleton members tailored by the utility ISPF PF-key tables User-specific data sets The number of user-specific data sets created by the utility varies, because it depends heavily on the type of actions done by the user, and the number of configurations that are created. Each configuration is identified by a 4-digit number Copyright IBM Corp. 2016 1

(nnnn in Table 2). The data set names all start with a user-specified high-level qualifier, followed by a product-determined low-level qualifier (which can be one or two qualifiers long). Table 2. User-specific data sets Data set name hlq.$ispfile hlq.feklog hlq.fektabl hlq.feknnnn.asm hlq.feknnnn.cmd hlq.feknnnn.cntl hlq.feknnnn.jcl hlq.feknnnn.parmlib hlq.feknnnn.proclib hlq.feknnnn.ivp hlq.feknnnn.debug Description Temporary data set which is deleted during the termination procedure. Contains a log file for each version of the commands/jcl create by the utility. The member name is FEKnnnn. Contains the profile table. Contains sample assembler code for configuration nnnn. This data set matches the FEK.#CUST.ASM data set referenced in the Host Configuration Guide (SC27-8437). Contains generated command files for configuration nnnn. Contains generated command files for configuration nnnn. This data set matches the FEK.#CUST.CNTL data set referenced in the Host Configuration Guide (SC27-8437). Contains generated command files for configuration nnnn. This data set matches the FEK.#CUST.JCL data set referenced in the Host Configuration Guide (SC27-8437). Contains generated parmlib updates for configuration nnnn. This data set also matches the FEK.#CUST.PARMLIB data set referenced in the Host Configuration Guide (SC27-8437). Contains generated proclib updates for configuration nnnn. This data set matches the FEK.#CUST.PROCLIB data set referenced in the Host Configuration Guide (SC27-8437). Contains generated IVP output for configuration nnnn. This is a sequential data set that will contain the debug report file when run for version nnnn. Requirements ISPF profile data set FEK* members with user-specific preferences are added to the user s ISPF profile data set (DD ISPPROF in TSO) during execution of the utility. The system requirements must match the requisites of the IBM Explorer for z/os release it is part of. For a complete listing of the z/os Explorer hardware and software requirements including prerequisites and co-requisites, generate reports from Software Product Compatibility Reports. The user ID running this utility must have (at least) the following attributes: v TSO access with minimum region size of 128 M (specify logon SIZE= 131072) v An OMVS segment that is defined to the security system (for example, RACF ), both for the user ID and its default group. The HOME field must refer to a home directory allocated for the user (with READ, WRITE and EXECUTE access). 2 IBM Explorer for z/os : Host Configuration Utility Guide

The PROGRAM field should be /bin/sh or other valid z/os UNIX shell The user ID does not require UID 0. The user ID's default group requires a GID. v User must have READ and EXECUTE access to the Java directories. Chapter 1. Introduction 3

Chapter 2. First usage FEKINIT 1 table 2 options config 5 required 4 8 3 6 main edit optional 7 browse workflow IVP generate 9 steps debug Figure 1. Configuration flow Figure 1 shows a schematic overview of the panel structure used by the utility. It also marks the flow you follow during the initial configuration of z/os Explorer. 1. Starting the utility brings you to a panel that shows all known configurations. Note: This panel is bypassed if there are no user-generated configurations. 2. You start by specifying input and output locations. 3. That leads you to the main menu. 4. Here you indicate you want to configure z/os Explorer. 5. The configuration panel leads you to defining required customization variables. 6. Then you can define optional customization variables. 7. When all input is provided, you generate workflow jobs, which brings you back to the table with the known configurations. (Step 1.) 8. Now you select the workflow item. 9. Then execute the listed tasks to build the configured z/os Explorer setup. Copyright IBM Corp. 2016 5

Startup The utility is started by executing FEKINIT, which resides in SFEKEXEC, from within an ISPF environment. The following sample invocation command can be used from any ISPF panel command line: TSO EXEC FEK.SFEKEXEC(FEKINIT) FEKINIT can accept optional positional parameters: Figure 2. FEKINIT startup parameters product_hlq High-level qualifiers of the common product libraries. By default, the value is extracted from the exec startup information provided by TSO. user_hlq High-level qualifiers of the user-specific libraries. By default, FEK.#CUST is used. The user will be asked to confirm or change this value during startup. z/os Explorer Vx.x utility initialization Driver level ddmmyyyy HLQ for install datasets = FEK A high level qualifier for user configuration datasets is required Enter the HLQ or press enter to default to FEK.#CUST HLQ for user datasets = FEK.#CUST Library locations Note: Extensive help panels are available for each ISPF panel. They can be accessed with the PF1 key. The options panel specifies the names of input and output data sets and directories. MVS based output always goes to one of the user-specific data sets: user_hlq.feknnnn.*, where nnnn is a number that represents a single configuration. Note that the input fields are verified, but invalid values are accepted (after a warning). This allows you to create all configurations on one system (the driving system), even if the naming conventions on the target system are different. Also note that the values defined here are fixed for the life of this configuration. To change them, you must create a new configuration (which can be based on this one to avoid duplication effort for the variables that do not change). 6 IBM Explorer for z/os : Host Configuration Utility Guide

z/os Explorer Vxx - Options Menu Command ===> Customize and press ENTER to validate the input data Press PF3 to exit and save or press PF12 to cancel changes Base system parameters for z/os Explorer Vx.x The data set qualifiers or directories below must exist Enter the high-level qualifier(s) of the product install FEK Enter the product installation directory (RSE home directory) /usr/lpp/ibm/zexpl Enter the Java directory location /usr/lpp/java/j6.0 Java Version : Unknown The output directories below will be created if they do not exist as part of running the work flow steps during customization Enter the directory for the configuration files (RSE config directory) /etc/zexpl Enter the root path for host-based client control directories /var/zexpl Enter the root path for log and temporary file directories /var/zexpl Note: The EXIT command (PF3) is used throughout the input panels to save the data and continue to the next panel. The CANCEL command (PF12) returns to the previous panel without saving. Usage of the PF keys requires that KEYLIST ON is specified in ISPF. Primary menu z/os Explorer Vxx - Primary Menu Option ===> Select Primary Customization Menus C Initial Product Customization E Edit active configuration files Select after workflow configuration jobs have been run I Installation verification Select only for IBM service problem analysis D Run debug reports The primary menu groups several actions that can be done based upon the data provided in the active configuration. Except for the Initial Product Customization item, all items require a completed setup of z/os Explorer. Chapter 2. First usage 7

Customization Menu option "C" Initial Product Customization in the primary menu brings you to the customization overview panel. The options in this panel will guide you through mandatory and common optional customization tasks. Option ===> z/os Explorer Vxx - Customization Required customization 1 Started tasks 2 Remote Systems Explorer (RSE) 3 JES Job Monitor (JMON) 4 TSO/ISPF Client Gateway Select after the above configuration steps have been completed G Generate configuration jobs The customization actions are grouped in three sections: v Required customization: mandatory customization required for product startup v Optional product customization: customization of optional product components, which must be acquired and installed separately from this product. v Optional runtime customizations: customizations so that other products can use z/os Explorer functions and generated code. Note that runtime customizations are currently not implemented and thus not available on the panel. Each option will bring you to an input panel where you can specify values for the related variables. Note that the panels might not cover all possible configuration options to reduce complexity. See the Host Configuration Guide (SC27-8437) for a detailed overview of each available option. Note: v The input panel might have more lines than supported by your current screen size. You can use PF7 (up) and PF8 (down), to navigate through a multi-screen panel. Once you completed the various customizations, select option "G" Generate to create a set of tasks (called the work items) that will create the configuration files and do related actions (such as security definitions) based upon the specified values. Generating the work items completes the first step of the customization process for this configuration, so the provided information will be saved for future use. The utility will prompt you for a meaningful name for this configuration. The configuration has been modified and will be saved on exit Specified below is the default description for this configuration Modify if desired : ZEXPLx.x Configuration Press Enter to continue 8 IBM Explorer for z/os : Host Configuration Utility Guide

Available configurations Once the work items are generated and the configuration data is saved, you are brought to the panel that shows the defined configurations. This panel will be your initial startup panel from now on. z/os Explorer Vxx - Configuration Row 1 to 2 of 2 Command ===> Scroll ===> PAGE Select the configuration you want to work with: S Select N New D Delete W Work Flow C Command Browse F File Browse L Log Browse Date Time User Id Description dd mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss IBMUSER FEK002 test systems dd mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss DEFAULT FEK001 ZEXPLx.x Default Configuration Executing workflow items The newly created configuration is now part of the table, and various actions for a configuration are available. By issuing the "W" Work Flow action against the newly created configuration, a table with the related work items is shown. The number of work items will vary, depending on the items that were configured earlier in the process. z/os Explorer Vxx - Work Flow Row 1 to 26 of 26 Command ===> Scroll ===> PAGE The Work Items are listed in the suggested order of execution.

First usage 9

You can now edit each item (E or S command) to verify what it exactly does, and then execute it (A command). Some items will be executed by the utility (such as copying members). Other items will prompt you to do a manual action with the provided information (for example, updating PARMLIB members). Also note that some items require authority that you might not have (such as RACF administrator). In this case, just give the person with sufficient authority the following information and ask that person to execute the related work items: v Startup instructions for the tool (product HLQ and user HLQ are the two related variables) v Which configuration to select 10 IBM Explorer for z/os : Host Configuration Utility Guide

Chapter 3. Other actions The utility supports more than just initial product configuration. It allows you to build various configurations, define values and work items for them, edit existing configuration files, run Installation Verification Procedures (IVPs), and collect debug information. All these actions are described in detail in the provided help panels. Doing the initial configuration of z/os Explorer will give you an idea how the utility is designed. The key concepts you need to remember are: v The utility is started by executing SFEKEXEC(FEKINIT). v Customizations are grouped in a configuration, which can be selected in the table that is shown when the tool is started. v The configuration table leads you to the work items and to the configuration-specific options. v The configuration-specific main panel allows you to customize the product, edit existing configuration files, execute IVPs, and collect debug information. FEKINIT table options config required main edit optional browse workflow IVP generate steps debug Figure 3. Panel structure Copyright IBM Corp. 2016 11
