Installation Checklist (IWSz Server for AAI)

The following table describes the tasks you must perform during the IWSz Server for AAI installation. Populate the Value column with the information that is specific to your installation and use the checklist during the installation process.

Task	Value
Obtain the Installation Package Go to https://downloads.automic.com/, log in with your Broadcom account and download the relevant version of the mainframe data provider, see Downloads. Unzip it to extract the mainframe format zOS_Data_Providers_for_AAI_2.1.pax.Z distribution package file.
Create a temporary USS directory Create a temporary USS directory to upload the pax.Z distribution package into and from which the Installation will be executed. This can be a directory under the User ID of the person performing the install.	Temporary USS Directory:
Upload the Installation Package to the mainframe Use a file transfer mechanism in binary mode to upload the distribution package pax.Z file to the temporary USS directory defined above.
Create $HOME USS directory Create the permanent $HOME USS directory for the USS executables and processing work files for the server instances.	$HOME USS directory:
Assign the installation HLQ Determine the HLQ that the installation Libraries will be created under.	Install HLQ:
Determine the SMS Management Class to use for the installation libraries, if required When creating the installation libraries, the SMS Management Class can be specified or it can be left blank to use default values for the HLQ.	SMS Management Class:
Determine the SMS Storage Class to use for the installation libraries, if required When creating the installation libraries, the SMS Storage Class can be specified or it can be left blank to use default values for the HLQ.	SMS Storage Class:
Determine the SMS Data Class to use for the installation libraries, if required When creating the installation libraries, the SMS Data Class can be specified or it can be left blank to use default values for the HLQ.	SMS Data Class:
Specify the Volume Serial Number of the Libraries for non‑SMS installs If SMS is not in use, you can specify the specific Volume Serial Number or leave it blank.	Volume Serial Number:
USS $HOME directory for the installation During the installation process the path for the USS $HOME directory will be required. Use the path defined above.
Determine the LOG Access method to be used Accessing the Primary STC log for Browsing, using the online ERTA graph displays and ERTA data extract functions can be done using either the SDSF or Sysview API.	LOG Access method (SDSF/Sysview):
REXX Library Type The z/OS Data Providers for AAI can execute with either the Full IBM REXX Library or the Alternate REXX Library. During the installation process you will be asked if the Full REXX Library is available (Y/N). If N is specified then Alternate REXX Library supported code will be installed	Full REXX Library available (Y/N)
Optionally rename the CUSTLIB Library after installation As detailed above, the CUSTLIB library can be renamed to another HLQ. Modify the various AIxCPRIM CLIST members to reference the new CUSTLIB library nameif you change the HLQ.	CUSTLIB Library HLQ:
Optionally create an ISPF Menu entry for the IMS After installation, you can define an ISPF Menu entry for starting the IMS. Invoke the most suitable AIxCPRIM member in the CUSTLIB library from the ISPF Menu entry.	CUSTLIB CLIST member:
