SAS Users, Groups, and Definitions on z/OS

Install the SAS 9.2 SVC Routine

In addition to creating the necessary users, groups, and ports, to deploy the SAS Intelligence Platform on z/OS, you must also install the SAS 9.2 SVC routine. To install the SAS 9.2 SVC routine, follow these steps:

Download the instsvc.xmit file from the SAS FTP Web site at ftp://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/mvs/.
Using FTP, transfer the instsvc.xmit file (in binary mode) to your z/OS system. You should preallocate the target data set with the following DCB characteristics:

LRECL=80

BLKSIZE=3120

RECFM=FB
Use the following RECEIVE command to create a PDS that will contain the JCL members that are required to install the SVC routine, where sas92.instsvc.xmit is the name of the file to which you transferred the instsvc.xmit file, using FTP.
```
receive indataset(sas92.instsvc.xmit)
```
Respond with the name of a data set that will contain the JCL members (that you will use to complete the installation) by issuing the following command:
```
da(sas92.instsvc.cntl)
```
Create the library that will contain the load modules by issuing the following command, where SAS92.INSTSVC.CNTL is the data set that you created in the previous step:
```
receive indataset(sas92.instsvc.cntl(svcmod))
```
Respond with the name of a data set that will contain the load modules by issuing the following command:
```
da(sas92.instsvc.library)
```
Continue your SVC installation by following the instructions in "Installing the SAS 9.2 SVC Routine" in the Configuration Guide for SAS 9.2 Foundation for z/OS, with the following exceptions:
- Anywhere that the documentation references the BAMISC data set, use the CNTL data set that you created in step 3.
- Anywhere that the documentation refers to the SAS.LIBRARY data set, use the data set that you created in step 4.
The Configuration Guide for SAS 9.2 Foundation for z/OS is located on the SAS Install Center Web site at http://support.sas.com/idsearch?ct=200000 (search for the document title).
