Setting Up Users, Groups, and Ports

Additional z/OS Pre-Installation Tasks

About Additional z/OS Pre-Installation Tasks

In addition to creating the necessary users, groups, and ports, to deploy the SAS Intelligence Platform on z/OS, you must also do the following:

Create a Configuration Directory and Define the SAS Library on z/OS

In addition to creating the necessary users, groups, and ports, to deploy the SAS Intelligence Platform on z/OS, you must also do the following:

Create a directory that will serve as the configuration directory for the SAS server tier on the z/OS machine.
Define the SAS executable library to be program-controlled.

Record this information in the following checklist:

Configuration Directory and SAS Executable Library Checklist on z/OS
Task	Actual Directory or Library Name
Create a configuration directory¹ for the SAS server tier
Define the SAS executable library to be program-controlled
1 A typical path is /usr/lpp/SAS/SAS_9.2/config-directory.

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).

Install the SASCP Module

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 SASCP module. To install the SAS 9.2 SASCP module, follow these steps:

Download the instsascp.xmit file from the SAS FTP Web site at ftp://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/mvs/.
Using FTP, transfer the instsascp.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 SASCP load module, where sas92.insascp.xmit is the name of the file to which you transferred the instsascp.xmit file, using FTP.
```
receive indataset(sas92.insascp.xmit)
```
Respond with the name of the target data set to contain the SASCP load module by issuing the following command:
```
da(sas92.insascp.load)
```
Copy the SASCP module to a load library that contains TSO commands.

This can be a STEPLIB library defined in a LOGON procedure, a system link list library, or a link pack area library.

For more information about the SASCP module see "Implementing SAS TSO Support" in the Configuration Guide for SAS 9.2 Foundation for z/OS located on the SAS Install Center Web site at http://support.sas.com/idsearch?ct=200000 (search for the document title).
