SPI Definition Files

The Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) definition files allow each of the OSS

EasySetup utilities to generate EMS events. Warning messages will be generated if

SPI definition files ZOSSTACL and ZEMSTACL are missing. This does not affect the

execution of any utility. T0585AAA expects the SPI definition files to be installed on the

$SYSTEM disk volume, and generates the warning messages when these files are not

found. With T0585AAB, the SPI files are not required to be installed unless

EASYSETUP^EMSVOL param is set. If the EASYSETUP^EMSVOL param is set with

a volume name that does not contain SPI files, warnings are generated, else only the

notice message is generated.

Procedure to Install and Configure a Minimal

OSS Subsystem

1. Ensure that your home terminal is the right type of terminal emulator (see Required

Terminal Emulator on page 1-3).

2. Ensure that your system is ready for software updates; that is, perform all site

preparation procedures, such as backups. (For instructions on backing up your

system, see the Guardian User’s Guide.)
