Migration to use the XML configuration file

If you want to use the XML configuration file you need to make some changes to your existing JCL procedures. You also need to create and configure a new XML configuration file (MFAXML). It is important you have already followed the migration actions specified in the General migration actions topic.

The changes can be summarized as:

• Create new XML configuration file for use by MFA Server by doing one of the following:
  • Use the command line utility to convert your existing configuration into the new XML configuration file.
  • Use the new Mainframe Access Configuration Utility to customize the new hlq.MFA.CNTL(MFAXML) configuration member.
• For the MFA Started Task JCL Procedure:
  • Add hlq.ZSERVER.AUTHLIB to the STEPLIB
  • Comment out XBDIN and SERVERS DD statements
  • Add (or change) CONFXML and CONFOSR DD statements
• For MFAAS Started Task JCL Procedure:
  • Add PARM='/ASJOB' to EXEC
  • Add hlq.ZSERVER.AUTHLIB to the STEPLIB
  • Comment out XBDIN DD statement
  • Add CONFXML and CONFOSR DD statements
