Installing the IWSz Server for AAI

As an AAI administrator, you perform full or deploy installations of the IWSz Server for AAI to either enable the AAI/IWSz integration for the first time, or to perform maintenance activities on the installation.

  • Full Installation

    You do a full installation for the initial install and to install new builds of the package. With the initial install, the following is created:

    • The z/OS libraries mentioned in Preparing to Install the IWSz Server for AAI

    • The AISZINST control member in the CUSTLIB library

    • Tailored CLIST members that start the IMS

    • Some JCL members that are used when setting up instances of the IWSz Server for AAI. They are created in the CUSTLIB.

  • Deploy Installation

    You do a deploy installation to install only the USS executable modules on other LPARs that will then share the z/OS libraries created by an initial full install. A deploy installation updates the existing AISZINST control member in the CUSTLIB with the new LPAR information.

Important!

When you do a full installation to apply maintenance, you must do a further deploy installation for any additional LPARs to also update the USS modules on those LPARs to the same maintenance level.

To Install the IWSz Server for AAI

The Installation Checklist (IWSz Server for AAI) topic contains a list of the parameters that you must define during the installation process. Make sure that you have it at hand because you will now need the data that you have specified on that list.

  1. Go to https://downloads.automic.com/, log in with your Broadcom account and download the relevant version of the mainframe data provider. For more information, see Downloads.

  2. Unzip it to extract the ZOS_Data_Provider_2.0.0.pax.Z distribution package.

    To maintain accuracy of the AISZINST control member in the CUSTLIB library used by the IMS, you must use this pax.Z distribution for both full and deploy installations.

  3. Upload the pax.Z distribution package to the temporary USS directory that you will use for the installation process. Use a file transfer mechanism in binary mode for this purpose.

  4. Using the OMVS environment, extract the contents of the pax.Z distribution package to that temporary directory by using the following command:

    pax -rvf ZOS_Data_Provider_2.0.0.pax.Z

  5. In the OMVS environment, start the installation program by issuing the following command:

    ./AISZ_Installer

  6. Select one of the installation options:

    • 1 = a full installation

    • 2 = a deploy installation

  7. Use the installation checklist now and enter the parameter as required. The following sections provide samples of both the full and deploy install messages and prompts, with example responses:

    For more information, see Installation Checklist (IWSz Server for AAI).

  8. Once the installation is completed, either full or deploy, you may need to change the permissions and ownership of the execution $HOME USS directory, and the files within it. Whether you must do it depends on how the directory was initially set up and how the User ID under which the IWSz Server for AAI primary STC executes has been defined:

    • The User ID is the Owner of the USS directory (chown command)

      The recommended permissions for the directory and files is rwxrw-r-- (chmod 764 command).

    • The User ID is a member of a Group with access to the USS directory

      The recommended permissions for the directory and files is rwxrwxr-- (chmod 774 command).

Full Install Log

The following is a sample output from performing a full install for an initial installation of the IWSz Server for AAI where the Full REXX Library is installed on the LPAR. The sample full installation permits the specification of SMS parameters, but will default to using SMS values associated with the HLQ used if these are not entered.
