HP XP7 Business Continuity Manager Installation Guide (TK954-96002)
• Hyphens cannot be used in the license key dataset name.
• Temporary license keys and emergency license keys with an expiration date after 17 September
2042 cannot be installed.
Format for license information datasets
License information datasets have the following format:
• Dataset format: sequential datasets in the fixed-length record format.
• Record size: 80 bytes.
• Block size: multiple of 80 bytes.
• Required access permissions:
User installing the license key: write permission.◦
◦ Users other than the above that operate Business Continuity Manager: read permission.
The following job is a sample that allocates a license information dataset. Change the dataset
prefix (%PREFIX) and VOLSER (%VSN) according to the installation environment.
//ALLOC JOB job info

// DCB=(DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3120),
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE)
Naming license information datasets
License information dataset names are specified and formatted as follows:
prefix1.prefix2.CCENTRAL.LICENSE
A prefix of the license information dataset consists of prefix1 and prefix2. The length of each prefix
is from 1 to 8 characters.
You can select one of two prefix specification methods as follows:
• Specify a value for the Business Continuity Manager environment variable (YKLCNSE and
YKLCNS2) with the YKSETENV command.
• Specify a value for the system symbol &YKLCNSE and &YKLCNS2 in the IEASYMxx parmlib
member.
The following lists the priority for specified values, in descending order:
1. value specified by the YKSETENV command
2. value specified for the IEASYMxx parmlib member
3. default value (HP)
The method for specifying a value in the IEASYMxx parmlib member requires an IPL of the system.
If an IPL cannot be executed because the system is running, use the YKSETENV command to specify
a value.
NOTE: If you use the YKSETENV command to set BCM Manager environment variables, perform
the procedure described in “Settings for using CLI commands in TSO/E environments” (page 23).
