Installation overview

To install z/Server with a minimum of customization, use the following guidelines:

1. Install, configure, and verify the installation of Mainframe Access (MFA) Server. See Installing Mainframe Access Server and Configuring and Administering the Mainframe for more information.
2. Upload z/Server software as an XMIT file and receive all installation datasets.
3. Define the necessary started tasks:
   • A z/Server holder address space
   • A z/Server scheduler address space
   • User server address spaces (batch TSO address space)
   • Optional: An additional z/Server CEA scheduler address space
   • Optional: User server address spaces (CEA-launched TSO address spaces)
4. Optional: Define a logon procedure for user servers as CEA-launched TSO address spaces.
5. Before z/Server address spaces can be started, you must customize a minimum configuration that consists of:
   • The holder task configuration:
     • Specify the SVC number (default 238)
     • Specify the data space token (default TAURSERV)
     • Specify the name of the IP stack used for processing (default TCPIP)
   • The STC scheduler configuration:
     • Specify the general listener port (default 1200)
     • Specify the user server port range (default 1201-1249)
     • Specify the name of the user server started tasks (default IVPUSRT)
   • Optional: The CEA scheduler configuration:
     • Specify the general listener port (default 1250)
     • Specify the user server port range (default 1251-1299)
     • Specify the name of the logton procedure (default CEAPROC)
     • Specify the name of the initial command REXX procedure (default ZCEAICMD)
6. Start the z/Server holder address space, which in turn will start the scheduler address space(s).
7. Run the installation verification procedure hlq.ZSERVER.JCL(IVPVERI) for both the STC scheduler and  optionally the CEA scheduler.
8. Run the TAU REXX procedure to verify user server startup. This is limited to support of port numbers up to a length of four characters.
9. Edit the master model configuration file hlq.ZSERVER.MASTER:
   • Enter a unique system name after "System:", for example, LPAR1.
   • Customize the dataset names pointing to the models after "Conf:".
10. Edit the REXX procedure hlq.ZSERVER.EXEC(TAUZCAPP)  and specify the correct name of the master model configuration file hlq.ZSERVER.MASTER after “sysdsn=”.
