IBM Mainframe Forum

In the Installing WASOEM. topic there was talk about the system was not installed with SMP. I suspect that Mr. Sample and Mr. Sorrichetti are not aware that some large, multiple site companies have a centralized group prepare operating systems that are then sent out to individual systems without any underlying SMP control data sets.

However, the GIMSMP batch program is almost certainly in the linklist of these systems, so if the install logic for this WASEOM product does not require the use of the CSI for the operating system and related IBM products it can almost certainly be installed into its own CSI. Only a careful reading of the printed installation material can ferret out any cross product dependencies, as well as a trial run of the APPLY CHECK JCL in the installation material can determine this.

It may not be wise for a junior systems guy to be doing this without consulting with the central systems group. They may have already installed the product elsewhere, and it may be very simple for them to make the product available at the topic starter's site.

Dear Mr.steve-myers
I am amateur in system programming and SMP/E also. And no anybody in our site has responsibility about SMP/E and subsystems installation. When I was tried to install WASOEM by SMP/E I face to RC=12 in running GIMSMP program (JCL).
Can I send my JCL output for you to help me?
Best regards.

I am aware of that , but in this case I wonder about the reason of installing something out of control of the central support

The TS should have read
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... 6954&aid=1

the main problems to face nowadays are those related to the permissions for the Unix System Services side
as per

The following installation job, as well as the SMP/E APPLY job, should be run under a user ID with
UID(0), or with a user ID with READ access to the BPX.SUPERUSER resourcein the RACF FACILITY
class. This installation user ID must also have READ access to the FACILITY class resources
BPX.FILEATTR.PROGCTL, BPX.FILEATTR.APF, and BPX.FILEATTR.SHARELIB.
 BBN7IHFS or BBN7IZFS
 BBN7ISMD

and without the cooperation of those who know it will be very hard to succeed.

• No, I do not do consulting work.
• If you are unable to determine this problem on your own, you need to hire someone with SMP knowledge, or read the SMP manuals yourself to determine the problem. You might start here.
