Installing the Mainframe Connector ACF2 Function

The following sections apply when running Mainframe Connector on a system that uses ACF2 for its security product.

SMP/E update

A sample job for updating the SMP/E environment in preparation for ACF2 SMP/E installation is provided in member ACF2DEF of the install dataset. Modify and execute this job and expect a return code of zero.

SMP/E receive

A sample job to SMP/E RECEIVE the Mainframe Connector ACF2 function dependent sysmod is provided in member ACF2REC of the install dataset. Make the necessary changes to the sample job. You should expect a return code of zero from this job. Any other return code should be investigated.

SMP/E apply

When the ACF2REC job has completed, you can now apply the Mainframe Connector ACF2 sysmod into your target library. A sample job to SMP/E APPLY this sysmod is provided in member ACF2APP of the install dataset. You should expect a return code of four.

Best practice

It is always wise to run an APPLY/CHECK first to uncover potential errors without actually updating any libraries. SMP/E produces reports that can be used to investigate potential problems.
