Step 10. Install Control-M/Tape

If you do not intend to run Control‑M/Tape at your site, skip this step.

Note: If you intend to run the Control‑M/Tape current release in parallel with a previous version of Control‑M/Tape, see Running two Control-M/Tapes in parallel.

Install Control‑M/Tape following the instructions in the Control‑M/Tape installation chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide: Installing.

Observe the following rules:

  1. Assign parameter values

    Use ICE to assign values to the current release parameters in the following table that are different than the values of the corresponding parameters in your current system. For details, see the DEFPARM member in the IOA.PARM library.

    Table 11 Control‑M/Tape parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    %ILPREFT%

    Prefix of the Control‑M/Tape Installation library

    %OLPREFT%

    Prefix of the Control‑M/Tape Operations libraries

    %DBPREFT%

    Prefix of the Control‑M/Tape Repository

  2. While you are testing the current release, the names of Control‑M/Tape started tasks, such as CTTINIT, must differ from the names of the same started tasks in previous Control‑M/Tape versions.
  3. Assign PROCPRFT value

    Assign a value to the PROCPRFT parameter. This value is used as the prefix of Control‑M/Tape procedure names. Then adjust the JCL of your production jobs accordingly. For details, see the explanation of PROCPRFA in substep 3 of Step 3. Install the IOA component.

  4. Assign values in the CTTPARM member

    For the DBPREF and SVCNUM parameters, assign values that are different than the values in the version you are now using. To find the values in the version you are now using, see the CTTPARM member.

    The DBPREFT IOA variable and the DBPREF CTTPARM parameter must contain the same value.
