Creating distribution library and target load library

SMP/E processing loads the distribution and target libraries. The distribution library is used to maintain Mainframe Connector . It contains the distributed load modules for your Mainframe Connector system and can be used for backup. The target library contains all the executable modules needed to run Mainframe Connector .

A sample job for defining your SMP/E environment is provided in member SMPDEF of the .INSTLIB dataset. Modify and execute this job and expect a return code of zero. In modifying, note that it is STRONGLY recommended that separate SMP/E datasets be defined for Mainframe Connector . If you choose not to define separate SMP/E datasets, then the following restrictions will apply to the subsequent installation process:

  1. Mainframe Connector cannot be installed into the SMP/E zone in which the MOD or LMOD EDC400F9 is installed.

  2. If your installation is running ACF2, then Mainframe Connector cannot be installed into the SMP/E zone in which ACF2 is installed.
