This checklist provides instructions on how to install the VM Transfer program using RSCS (NJE).
- Edit member sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLGENUC) so it contains:VMTXRDR VMTASML VMTSJCL
- Add the following lines to sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEFC):USERDEF VMTXMODE NJE USERDEF VMTNODE nodename USERDEF VMTUSER userid USERDEF VMTLIST VMT0000Iwhere "nodename" is the name of your VM system as known to JES, and "userid" is the VM userid where the VM Data Transfer Program will be installed.
- Submit sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(JCLGENUC). Make sure the job completes with a condition code of zero.This job will generate the following three members into sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL:VMTXRDR VMTASML VMTSJCL
- You may have to specify a cards punched limit for the VMTXRDR job. During the initial transmission of files from z/OS for VM, about 25,000 card images are written to SYSOUT class B (punch). If your installation has enforced limits on cards punched, the limits must be overridden in the VMTXRDR job. To do this, edit and modify sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VMTXRDR), and specify a card limit of 25000 on the /*JOBPARM JCL statement.Note:The SYSOUT class parameter that is specified with the //CMSRDR DD statement in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VMTXRDR) must be a PUNCH class. The default is set to B. If your installation has a different PUNCH class, ensure that the SYSOUT class parameter is updated.
- Submit sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VMTXRDR). Ensure the job completes with a condition code of zero.This job loads the software and transmit it to the destination specified in step 2.
- Log on to the VM Data Transfer Program's virtual machine.
- Load the distributed source files on a CMS minidisk.Ensure that the file containing the CMS resident code is first in your CMS reader, then enter the command:READCARD * * A (NOPROMPT REPLACE
- To generate the executable CMS files, enter the command:VMTFIRSTWhen you are prompted to continue the generation process, reply Y.The generation process should terminate with a return code of zero.Note:If the generation process terminates abnormally (with a nonzero return code), correct the error conditions that are indicated by the accompanying messages and restart the process. The generation process can be restarted with the following command:VMTGEN ( RESTART
- Review the documentation for an overview of the VM Data Transfer Program and the tools that are used to generate and maintain it. For information about the parameters to be set in VMT Checklist 3 - Setting Parameters, see Transfer Parameters.
