Installing Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (IMS)

Installing Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (IMS) (hereafter referenced as TMA TCP for IMS) consists of the following basic tasks.

Note: To upgrade from previous releases of eLink for Mainframe TCP, refer to Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP Release Notes.

 


Preparing to Install

Complete the following tasks prior to installing the TMA TCP for IMS software:

 


Installing TMA TCP for IMS

To install TMA TCP for IMS, complete the following tasks:

Task 1: Allocate z/OS Datasets

The directory structures on the TMA TCP for IMS software CD include the following partitioned datasets:

Task 2: Unload the Distribution Files

The TMA TCP for IMS product is distributed on a single CD-ROM (with other members of the Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP product). The TMA TCP for IMS distribution files are grouped under one of the following directory structures:

Because the distribution files are located on a CD-ROM, you probably use a UNIX-based system or a PC-based system to access the files on the CD-ROM and file transfer them to z/OS.

Transfer the contents of each subdirectory to the corresponding distribution library on the z/OS system. Use a file transfer program (such as FTP) or any other mechanism that allows you to transfer files to your z/OS system. The file transfer program must be able to:

The IBM File Transfer Program (FTP, distributed as part of TCP/IP for z/OS) satisfies both of these requirements.

Each file in each subdirectory on the distribution CD-ROM corresponds to a member of the associated target library. For example, file BEATCPI in the JCL subdirectory corresponds to member BEATCPI in the JCL distribution library.

Note: All files in the CONTROL, INCLUDE, JCL, and SOURCE subdirectories are text files; be sure to specify text (or ASCII) mode when you transfer these files from the CD-ROM to their corresponding z/OS distribution library members.
Note: The MSGCAT file and all files in the OBJECT subdirectory are binary files; specify binary (or image) mode when you transfer these files from the CD-ROM to the corresponding z/OS distribution library members.

Task 3: Link-Edit TMA TCP for IMS

The TMA TCP for IMS program is delivered as a pre-linked object file. Use the LNKBEA34 JCL file for linking with IBM’s TCP/IP.

Tailor the JCL as required to match your installation’s standards and naming conventions. Review the following items and make the necessary changes before you submit the job.

  1. Supply an appropriate Job Card for the job.
  2. Change the names of product datasets as required to match those in your particular installation, including LE/370 datasets (for example, SYS1.SCEELKED), TCP/IP for z/OS datasets (for example, SYS1.SEZACMTX), and IMS (for example, IMSV5R1.RESLIB).
  3. Change the names of TMA TCP for IMS datasets as required to match those you allocated in Step 1 (for example, BEATCPI.DIST.OBJECT).
  4. Change the name of the link-editor (HEWL) as required to match the name used by your installation.
Note: The link job references components supplied by LE/370, TCP/IP for z/OS, and IMS.

When the job completes successfully, you receive a return code of 0 from the link-edit steps and an executable load module is placed into the specified target load library. The load module should have attributes of AMODE=31, RMODE=24. There should be no unresolved external references.

Sample JCL for Linking TMA TCP for IMS

Listing 4-3 is JCL to link the distributed object files into an executable load module.

Task 4: Define TMA TCP for IMS to MVS

To integrate TMA TCP for IMS into your IMS environment, you must properly define it to MVS.

OTMA Definition

To use OTMA to integrate TMA TCP for IMS into your z/OS environment, you must properly define it in the program property table (PPT). Listing 4-4 is a sample program entry for the Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP product. Also, you must link the program to an APF authorized library.

Listing 4-4 Sample Program Property Table
PPT PGMNAME(BEATCP34)     /* PROGRAM NAME = BEATCP34           */
CANCEL /* PROGRAM CAN BE CANCELED */
KEY(7) /* PROTECT KEY ASSIGNED IS 7 */
SWAP /* PROGRAM IS SWAPPABLE */
NOPRIV /* PROGRAM IS NOT PRIVILEGED */
DSI /* REQUIRES DATA SET INTEGRITY */
PASS /* CANNOT BYPASS PASSWORD PROTECTION */
SYST /* PROGRAM IS A SYSTEM TASK */
AFF(NONE) /* NO CPU AFFINITY */
NOPREF /* NO PREFERRED STORAGE FRAMES */

Task 5: Create an TMA TCP for IMS Configuration File

Oracle TMA TCP for IMS makes use of a text configuration file which is read and processed during initialization to establish the configuration. Any text editor (such as the ISPF Editor) can be used to create the configuration file. CONFIGOT, the OTMA sample in the CONTROL distribution library is a sample configuration file which you may use as a starting point for creating configuration files tailored to your particular installation.

Place your completed configuration file in the configuration dataset allocated in the Task 1: Allocate z/OS Datasets section. A configuration file includes the following basic sections:

For detailed information about syntax and parameter definitions for the configuration file, refer to the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP IMS User Guide.

SYSTEM Statement Definition

SYSTEM parameters control the overall operational environment of Oracle TMA TCP for IMS. Because TMA TCP for IMS cannot “wait” on the IMS Message Queue, the queue is periodically interrogated (polled) to determine if any new work has arrived (for example, IMS Client requests or Server responses). Set the SleepTime parameter to specify the amount of time that TMA TCP for IMS “sleeps” (waits) during idle periods before checking the IMS Message Queue for work.

Local Gateways Definition

You must provide at least one GATEWAY TYPE=LOCAL statement to define access to your local (IMS) gateway by remote systems. In this statement, specify the following:

Make sure that remote systems are correctly configured with the corresponding IP Address, Port Number, Account ID (if used), and Password (if used). Otherwise, attempts by remote systems to connect to this gateway fail.

Remote Gateways Definition

GATEWAY TYPE=REMOTE statements define access to remote systems by the IMS gateway. In particular, each GATEWAY TYPE=REMOTE statement specifies:

The IP Address, Port Number, Account ID, and Password must match the configuration of the remote system. Otherwise, attempts to establish an outbound session with the remote system fails.

Remote Services Definition

SERVICE TYPE=REMOTE statements define remote services to which TMA TCP for IMS has access. Each statement specifies:

Note: It is permissible to have more than one SERVICE TYPE=REMOTE statement for the same (local) service name. When this is the case, each statement must identify a different remote Logical Machine ID. This allows TMA TCP for IMS to “spread” requests for a particular service among multiple remote systems offering the service, thus balancing the load and improving overall throughput.

Local Services and IMS Host Systems Definition

SERVICE TYPE=LOCAL statements define local services offered by a local IMS host. There can be multiple SERVICE TYPE=LOCAL statements and multiple statements defining the same service, provided each specifies a different local IMSID. Each statement requires the following information:

Task 6: Create JCL to Run TMA TCP for IMS

You must create JCL to run the Oracle TMA TCP for IMS product. The following section specifies how to create JCL for running as an OTMA client.

JCL for OTMA Clients

When running the product as an OTMA client, TMA TCP for IMS runs in its own address space under z/OS as a started task or long running job. Member RUNOTM in the JCL distribution library is a sample job for executing TMA TCP for IMS.

When tailoring the JCL for your OTMA installation, pay particular attention to the following:

Task 7: Start Oracle TMA TCP for IMS

Before you attempt to start TMA TCP for IMS the first time, make sure that the proper IMS definitions are in place.

If you are using RACF for security, you must set up a FACILITY Class Profile in RACF of IMSXCF.group.client. You can configure the group and client names for TMA TCP for IMS.

Start TMA TCP for IMS by submitting the JCL prepared in the Task 6: Create JCL to Run TMA TCP for IMS section.

For additional information on operating this product, refer to the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP IMS User Guide.

Task 8: Test the Installation

When you start TMA TCP for IMS for the first time, you should do so in a controlled environment, using a small, simple configuration to methodically test the system to verify your installation and the configuration. For additional information on using this product, refer to the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP IMS User Guide.
