HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Mainframe Agent Installation and Configuration Guide (TK981-96005, May 2014)

7. SYSABEND DD statement
Specifies the location to which the dump is output when the XP7 mainframe agent terminates
abnormally. SYSOUT=* is specified in the standard cataloged procedure for startup. If the DUMMY
output class is assigned as the output destination class for system messages in a job that is started
by the START command, we recommend that you specify
SYSOUT=SYSOUT-class-enabled-for-output, since the dump is not output with SYSOUT=*
specified.
8. SYSEXEC DD statement
Specifies the dataset that contains the REXX exec library.
9. STEPLIB DD statement (optional)
Specifies the dataset that contains the XP7 mainframe agent's load library. If XP7 mainframe
agent's LINKLIB dataset is linked to the system's LINKLIB, you do not need to specify the
STEPLIB DD statement.
Notes
• Because the XP7 mainframe agent is a resident program that waits for client requests, specify
TIME=1440 in the EXEC statement so that no timeout occurs. Additionally, specify Purge as the
output class of the job log and system messages so that the output messages do not cause a
shortage of spool space.
•
If z/OS
®
V1R3 or later is running, use the JOB statement keyword of the START command to
specify that the JESLOG dataset is to be output using the SUPPRESS setting.
Changing the cataloged procedure for startup
You can change the contents of the standard cataloged procedure for startup according to the system
environment and create a separate cataloged procedure for startup for the XP7 mainframe agent.
The cataloged procedure (member) can have any name.
By adding the SYSTCPD DD statement to the cataloged procedure for startup, you can set up an
environment for TCP/IP clients and programs used by the XP7 mainframe agent. For example, when
the standard TCP stack environment is not used, you can specify the TCP/IP environment settings file
by adding the SYSTCPD DD statement.
For details on how to specify the TCP/IP environment settings file without using the SYSTCPD DD
statement and how to define the TCP/IP environment settings file to be specified in the SYSTCPD DD
statement, see the explanation of a basic TCP/IP system in the Communications Server IP Configuration
Guide.
Setting up the Device Manager environment
This section describes the environment settings required for Device Manager.
Displaying mainframe storage information
The following procedure shows how to set up a Device Manager environment that enables the GUI
to display mainframe volume information and logical DKC serial numbers of storage systems.
