Update NetMaster Run-time Code with a z/OSMF Workflow
NetMaster
Run-time Code with a z/OSMF WorkflowUse a z/OSMF workflow to update the run-time code of
NetMaster
products.Required roles: systems programmer |
|---|
If you configured one or more NetMaster products with the CC2DZWC1 workflow, you can use a second workflow, CC2DZWU1, to update the generated run-time code with code from the most current SMP/E environment. Specifically, the workflow executes the following steps:
- Creates .NEW data sets and populates them with the latest SMP/E code.
- Deletes .OLD data sets (if present from a prior run).
- Renames the current named run-time datasets to .OLD
- Renames .NEW datasets to current run-time named datasets.
The z/OSMF workflow updates:
- The CC2DPLD, CC2DMAPO, CC2DLINK, and CC**EXEC MVS libraries
- ****DIS related code
- ThenmInterfaceUSS directory
Run the CC2DZWU1 workflow after you have applied maintenance to your SMP/E environment, and it is ready for roll-out to a run-time environment. The general process of running the update workflow is identical to the configuration workflow, with the same registration and execution steps. And, as withe the configuration workflow, the update workflow can utilize a properties file to automatically fill in variables.
Update Workflow Prerequisites
- Complete the configuration workflow.
- Prior to starting the update workflow, stop theNetMasterRegion andSOLVESSItasks.
Register the Workflow
- Log in to the z/OSMF web interface.
- Ensure that your JOB statement is updated, as described in the IBM Knowledge Center article on customizing JOB statements.
- SelectWorkflowsfrom the navigation tree (classic interface), or click theWorkflowsicon (desktop interface).
- SelectCreate Workflowfrom theActionsmenu. TheCreate Workflowpanel appears.
- Enter the system name in theLocation (system) of definition and variable input filesfield.
- Enter the data set with member namedsnpref.NMC2.CC2DXML(CC2DZWU1)in theWorkflow definition filefield.
- Optionally, if you used a properties file for the configuration workflow, it can be re-used for the update workflow. Enter the data set with the member name in theWorkflow variable input filefield.
- ClickNext.
- Enter a uniqueWorkflow name.
- Enter theOwner user ID.
- SelectAssign all steps to owner user ID.
- ClickFinish. The steps for the newly registered workflow display, and the workflow is available to execute for NetMaster deployment and configuration.
Execute the Workflow
The z/OSMF update workflow can be entirely automated, depending on your preferences. After you complete the first non-automated step,
Workflow Overview and Variable Definition
, the configuration process can be completed without further action, assuming that there are no errors.
To initiate the automated process, you must select the step (
Create SMP/E code copy Run-Time libraries
in this case), and then select Perform
from the Actions
menu. If you click the link for a step, and then use the Perform
tab, the step completes, but the next steps will not proceed automatically. The steps below describe the automated process. To execute the workflow, and configure your Netmaster product(s), follow these steps:
- From the workflow steps display, click the link for the first step,Workflow Overview and Variable Definition. The view opens to the workflow description on theGeneraltab.
- Review the workflow description.
- Click thePerformtab. TheInput Variables - Data Set Namesview displays.
- If you entered a properties file in the registration process, theData Set Namesfields, as well as all of the other variables (e.g.,Storage) will be filled in; clickNextat each window to review the variable settings. When finished, proceed to step 6 below.
- If you did not specify a properties file during registration, enter the data set names, and continue with step 4.
- ClickNext. The next set of input variables,Storageappears.
- Enter all of the required information (indicated by red asterisks), and clickNext. TheReview Informationview displays.
- ClickFinish. The view returns to the workflow steps, and step 1 should display asComplete, while step 2 should display asReady.
- Select step 2,Create .NEW SMP/E code copy Run-Time libraries.
- De-select step 1,Workflow Overview and Variable Definition.
- From theActionsmenu, or by right-clicking on the link, selectPerform. ThePerform Automated Stepdialog appears.
- Keep the default option -Automatically perform the selected step, and all subsequent automated steps, according to their declared step dependencies, until one of the following occurs...and clickOk. The workflow steps re-appear. To track the automated progress, as the steps change fromReadytoComplete, clickRefresh. When all the steps display asComplete, the workflow is finished, and your NetMaster run-time environment will be available.
