Tuesday Tip: Installing CA Intertest for CICS  r 9.1 for sites not licensed for DB2 using JCL or CSM 

Jan 13, 2015 07:07 PM

CA Intertest for CICS release 9.1 can be installed using JCL job streams or Chorus Software Manager (CSM). Sites that are not licensed for DB2 must install the base product using the install image dated December 9, 2014 or later.  Any install image older than  December 9, 2014 will not work because we needed to allow a rc(08) on the link edit due to DB2 modules not being accessible.

 

If you are installing using CSM and your install image is earlier than  December 9, 2014 , you will need to delete that install package from CSM and then perform an Update Product Release by right mouse clicking on release 9.1 from the products list .This will refresh the CA InterTest for CICS  9.1install image from the CA web site with the latest image that supports sites not licensed for DB2. 

As part of the CSM installation process you will  have  to specify your CICS SDFHLOAD library for the DB2 SDSNLOAD library in the CSM installation wizard when prompted .

 

When doing a JCL install you will be instructed in  sample JCL member EKHSEDIT to use the CICS SDFHLOAD instead of the DB2 SDSNLAOD as listed below.

 

/* SDSNLOAD  - DB2 SDSNLOAD (USE YOUR CICS SDFHLOAD ONLY IF YOU DO */

/*                           NOT HAVE DB2 INSTALLED)               */

 

 

Once the install has completed you will need to reassemble and link the Intertest IN25OPTS module to turn off the DB2 last SQL capture for DB2 parameter XRMIO=NO

 

This parameter is documented in the install guide in the DB2 install step.

 

  1. 5. In order to support the CORE=LASTSQL command for CA InterTest for CICS, the global exit XRMIOUT is started (by default) when you start the product. This exit then collects DB2-related call information for every DB2 call done in the system. This can have significant performance implications in some DB2 shops. The parameter XRMIO=YES/NO IN25OPTS controls the use of this exit. The default is XRMIO=YES. We recommend that you carefully review this prior to using the default settings.

 

The instructions for changing  the options are in chapter 7 of the Install guide. Below is sample  JCL that can be used to turn off the DB2 capture XRMIO=NO

//IN25OPTS EXEC PGM=ASMA90,
