•
Obtain a user name and password authorized to use the DSM/SCM Planner
Interface. See the DSM/SCM User’s Guide for more information about configuring
which users are allowed to use DSM/SCM and which tasks they are permitted to
perform.
•
Check that the OutsideView Startup TACL ($YMIOP.#CLCI) and EMS Event
Stream windows are open. These windows must remain open while DSM/SCM is
performing a Build/Apply; otherwise, Build/Apply errors result.
•
Pause the hometerm configured for use by DSM/SCM Pathway servers and other
processes when DSM/SCM is running. The default hometerm is $ZHOME. See the
DSM/SCM User’s Guide for more information about the hometerm used by
DSM/SCM Pathway servers.

If you are upgrading from the NonStop S7000 system (NSR-W), before you
upgrade to NonStop S76000 (NSR-X) / S86000 (NSR-Y) / S7600 (NSR-E),
NonStop S7800 (NSR-J), S78000 (NSR-H), S88000 (NSR-Z), change the
processor type entry in the CONFTEXT file. In the CONFTEXT file, you can specify
only one processor type. Neither NSR-D (S7400), nor NSR-W (S7000) can be in a
system with mixed processor types. Failure to change the processor type results in
system instability and requires a backout to a previous RVU.
For processor model S70000, running G06.24 and later, you must change the
processor type from NSR-G to NSR-C in the ALLPROCESSORS paragraph in the
CONFTEXT file.
Back Up Important Files
If you are on a production system, make sure that important files have been backed up
(such as, TMF, SQL/MP, SQL/MX, and so forth).
Drain the spooler and back up spooler control files.
Note. Safeguard aliases are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly when you log
onto DSM/SCM.
You can add a Safeguard alias anytime when Safeguard is running and before installing
the SUT.
Before using an existing alias for DSM/SCM, check that Safeguard is started. Aliases are
available only while Safeguard is running.
